How Sandy Has Affected Nassau Real Estate Market
Prospective buyers have been scared to look on the south shore, while other markets saw delays.
Posted by Stephen J. Bronner ,
Her home had been unscathed by the superstorm, but the co-op was badly damaged. The South Merrick home eventually sold, but now Szteinberg lives in a short-term rental awaiting an update. Still, she says, the massive storm has not affected her outlook on the Long Island real estate scene.
"There can be a natural disaster or intentional act anywhere you live," she said. "In all honesty, I have considered moving more inland, but I prefer to live in proximity of my business and friends on the south shore. Wherever I move, it would be a gamble."
Other Nassau County residents, as well as realtors, have echoed Szteinberg's sentiment — people want to live where they want to live, despite the havoc caused by — what they hope — is a once-in-a-lifetime storm. However, at least in the short term, many potential buyers have been scared off by properties in neighborhoods on the south shore, whether by future weather events or high insurance coverage costs.
"The impact has been uneven," said Lawrence Levy, executive dean of Hofstra's National Center for Suburban Studies. "Along the shore it's created a lot of concerns and doubts among both buyers and potential sellers. There's a lot out there about storms being more frequent and worries about getting insurance and it being enough to rebuild and rebuild it the same way."
Up and down
The number of home sales on the south shore did in fact decline in the last quarter of 2012. In the last months of 2011,166 home sales were reported, according to a report by real estate firm Douglas Elliman and appraisal firm Miller Samuel. The number of home sales decreased to 127 in the final quarter of 2012, a 23.5 percent decline. On the north shore, homes sales went from 415 in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 530 in 2012, an increase of 27.7 percent.
It's possible that the drop on the south shore reflects homes that have been taken off the market while their owners complete storm repairs, according to realtors.
Meanwhile, homes are still getting more expensive in Nassau County. In 2011, the average sale price of a south shore home was $402,709 and a north shore home was $858,592, according to the report. Both numbers jumped in 2012, to $453,172 and $969,769, respectively.
The water problem?
Realtors and potential sellers confirmed people's apprehension toward some properties on the south shore.
"[Sandy] will no doubt change people's perception of property by the water," said Patty Murphy, a realtor at Village Plaza Realty in Malverne, who added that properties by the water had been hard to sell for at least two years, likely due to insurance costs.
Jackie Katz-Rabinoff, who had listed her Harbor Green Estates home in Massapequa for sale before Sandy hit, said that although her home had no water damage, "not one person has come to see my house since the storm."
She added, "South of Merrick Road seems to no longer hold the appeal it used to."
Some prospective buyers and investors are still looking at homes along the water on the south shore, but at reduced prices, said Seth Levy, of Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes.
Levy pointed to one home in Hewlett Harbor, with a 1.73 acre lot and a tennis court. The large property would have entered the market at $3.5 million had it not been damaged in the storm, Levy estimates, but it is now listed for $1 million less. The home is now in contract.
Another neighborhood in the Five Towns, North Woodmere, saw many homes with flood damage. Still, people have been grabbing the homes there for its lower taxes, according to Donna Galinsky of Pugatch Realty in Woodmere.
"I wish it were black and white, but it isn't," she said about Sandy's impact on Nassau real estate. "We're still trying to figure it out."
Staying put?
For many Long Islanders, this storm has not changed their preference toward living near the water.
"People have a lot of pride, and when I hear them talk about what has happened, they plan on rebuilding and staying," Lindenhurst realtor Jackie Connelly-Fornuff of Century 21 wrote in a Patch blog post. "Living on the water in Lindenhurst is a lifestyle, and these homeowners do not want to give that up."
Another devastated area, Long Beach, has seen a surge of investorsinterested in buying homes at heavily-discounted rates.
In Garden City, Sandy only delayed the beginning of the 2013 real estate market due to power outages and needed repairs, according to Stephanie Cullum of Coach Realtors.
The tax threat
Weather events, in the end, may not be the biggest threat to Long Island real estate.
Levy, of Hofstra, said that people are still attracted to Long Island for its high wages, "gorgeous" beaches, park system, governmental services, proximity to New York City and "the best, in aggregate, public school system in the country."
But Levy warned that something needs to be done to change the "trajectory of property taxes."
Szteinberg agreed, saying, "I'm an optimist; I'll worry about the next storm in another 40 to 50 years from now. But way before then, I will probably have already moved off of Long Island due to our high taxes."

Brittany D. McClure
The Valdosta Daily Times
Boo! In case you forgot, Halloween is in just three days and in case you haven't noticed, yes, this is my second Halloween article. Obviously, I am a Halloween enthusiast.
No offense to Santa or the Easter Bunny or anything, but Halloween is the only holiday that doesn't lose that child-like allure when you get older.
Now that I'm 24, it would be pretty weird (and pretty sad) if I were to make a list for Santa or go Easter egg hunting. But Halloween bares no prejudice against a mid-20s married couple doing the monster-mash in bed sheets and body paint.
Hopefully, none of my dear budgeteers have gone out and dropped $120 on a Halloween costume. Seriously, it's getting ridiculous. So here is a list of cheap and funny costumes that I found surfing the net and of course, Pinterest.
1. Werewolf: Dress up as you normally do. When someone asks where your costume is, tell them that you're a werewolf and explain that it's not a full moon.
2. Ceiling Fan: Get a blank old T-shirt and some T-shirt paint. Paint the words "Ceiling Fan" and go buy some cheap pom-pons that you periodically shake in the air. Congratulations, you're a ceiling "fan."
3. The E! Mani-Cam: OK, I know when E! busted out with the "Mani-Cam" on the red carpet to show off celebs' painted fingernails that it was literally the stupidest idea ever concocted ... But this costume makes it a little less stupid (only a little).
Get a shoe box and cut a hole for your hand. Wrap it in paper or spray paint it and write the words "E! Mani-Cam" on the side. Make sure you have killer nails and bam, there's your costume.
4. Lady Gaga: First, find a few pieces of your ugliest clothes and accessories. Second, put them all on and you get bonus points for not putting them on correctly, i.e. pants on head. Third, literally throw makeup onto your face. Like, get your friend to throw different color lipsticks at your face while you sit still. Last, master these lines:
"I hate looking conventional so I look stupid instead."
"I write songs by threading together random loud sounds and then repeating the same phrase
over and over."
"I don't eat meat but I do wear it."
Congrats. You look like an idiot ... and Lady Gaga.
5. Lance Armstrong's Career: I give credit to my fellow reporter Jason Schaefer for this one. All you need is spandex, tennis shoes and white face makeup. Put on your spandex, paint your face to look dead, and wear a sign that says, "Lance Armstrong's Career." Too soon? You decide.
6. Carlton Banks: This is for all you guys who can't dance. Wear slacks, a button-up and tie a sweater around your neck and you are Carlton from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." Now you have an excuse for being a horrible dancer.
7. Couple Costume: If you want to get a good laugh from friends, dress like your better half. Fellas, throw on some makeup and ladies, wear some of your man's signature pieces. It's a costume that takes minutes and you don't even have to leave the house to put it together.
8. Bad '80s School Portrait: Nothing good ever came out of the '80s ... Except for how funny it is to look back on the '80s. For Halloween, rock a side pony if you're a girl or a Flock of Seagulls swoop if you're a dude and rock some neons, acid wash, baggy shirt and a dorky smile all night as a walking '80s school portrait.
There you go, my budgeteers, budget-friendly and creative alternatives to the store-bought costume. I guarantee, little effort and little money will make a big splash.
I personally think the home-made costumes are always the best and most unique.

Apple, AT&T paid Google millions for advertising in June
We've heard Google pays Apple millions to be the default search engine in Safari but now AdAge is reporting Apple (and AT&T) gives Google millions right back for AdWord advertising.
By comparison, one of Google's top advertisers that month, AT&T Mobile, spent more than $8 million on AdWords in June, a big month for the company, which was supporting the launch of iPhone 4. (AT&T is the third-largest U.S. advertiser, according to Ad Age DataCenter; it spent $2.8 billion on measured media -- almost $1.3 billion on TV alone -- in 2009. The company declined to comment on its search spending.) [...] Tech rival Apple spent just under $1 million on search during the month, as did chip maker Intel.
How much of that went to the keyword "Droid"?

Why is this even a story?
Companies pay millions for advertising all of the time, and Google is the premier web advertising marketplace. Sooooo... why is this news?
Because it's a blog not CNN. And something that makes Rene go "hmmmm" probably makes a lot of his readers do the same. Don't like it? Then read the thousands of other more relevant (to you) posts.
Not much to go "hmmm" over. A million dollars is a puny amount of money. Advertising campaigns for big product launches can be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Hell, Apple probably paid Chris Martin something close to a million dollars for showing up at the iPod/iTunes event last week. ;)
All these amounts are walkin around money for these companies. Didn't know AT&T was the second largest advertiser though, I guess I do see their commercials at least once per break on every channel.
Oops they are third, who's one and two?
The real story here is that companies are now forced to pay money to Google to advertise their product or service that Google is probably or already has a competing product/service for. It's brilliant. Basically racketeering.
Silly fanboy, there is no gun to Apple's head here. If Apple does not want to advertise on Google, there are plenty of other places they could spend those dollars.
I could use some of that "walkin around money".

Free Wallpaper Friday: Emasculation Edition
You guys are a tough crowd to please. Last week's installment received as much welcome as Michael Moore attending a Republican convention. Some of you even criticized my gallery for being "too feminine", which left me questioning my sexuality and displaying overcompensating male machismo behavior. Friends and family began wondering why I suddenly started smoking cigars and spoke in a deep faux masculine voice. I hope you're proud of yourselves!
So, this week I bow to your requests and offer up these, well, less effeminate wallpapers. Hope you enjoy them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Nascar racing and wear my pants halfway down my ass.
There are 8 comments. Add yours.
I didn't personally have a problem with the girly wallpapers, but I have to say that I like these very much. Thanks again for Free Wallpaper Friday.
Who else offers Free Wallpaper Friday? Geeze! File it under "if it's free it's for me." and wait until next Friday if there's nothing you like. It's free!
I love all the wallpapers, girly or not. But what I really wanted as a wallpaper was one of Sulu all pimped up--you know, the article pic but as a wallpaper. In fact, a weekly Star Trek wallpaper with each male character all girlied up would be so chic.
Those that complained need to get a life
its cool but how do you install em on ur iPhone using the iBrickr?
Hey nice one man the new wallpapers are awesome!

A marathon Assembly session is in underway at the capitol. Legislators are expected to debate drastic election reform bills, until 2 in the morning.
A Republican backed bill could change the times people can vote. That bill would create a standard for absentee voting times.
Sponsors say it's not fair for people to be able to vote at all hours of the day in some cities, and have restricted hours in others.
The other Republican backed bills will tackle the ongoing issues of voter identification, and recalls for elected officials.
The Associated Press reports that only those Wisconsin state officials charged with a serious crime or ethical violation could be recalled from office under a constitutional amendment that has passed the state Assembly.
The Republican-controlled Assembly passed the amendment 53-39 with all Democrats opposed. The measure must pass the Senate and the full Legislature again next session before it would be put to a vote of the people.

It's too bad you couldn't go in to retirement with a newer vehicle. The vehicle is going on 10 years old...things wear out.
Sorry for your troubles.

Just had my 08 Silverado in for servicing and documenting the oil consumption. Now the dealer tells me that a quart of oil consumption for every 2 thousand miles is within specs for this motor. They didn't tell me this before so I wonder if GM has changed the specs to avoid performing the warranty work. Or have they found that its an acceptable rate. Either way I am still in the monitoring stage. Fortunately nothing mechanical has failed yet.
I thought GM came out with a bulletin recently stating oil consumption test were nolonger needed. You may want to check in to this. Also, that is GMs acceptable rate for oil consumption-1 qt. every two thousand miles.
Good luck!

I'll look into this. I would have expected them to say something to me about it if no more monitoring was needed. Hopefully I got one of the good motors.

To avoid AFM on Chevy trucks, one could formerly select the 6.0 liter engine. What was a good choice (going with the 6.0 liter--no AFM) definitely worked in the past, but guess what? The new 2014 Silverado's now have AFM in all 3 engines: 4.3 V6; 5.3 V8; and the 6.2 V8...per the new 2014 Silverado brochure I am now reading and holding in my hand.
My personal research on the internet has observed "excessive oil consumption" in the 5.3 V8's from 2007-2011, and a hint of it in the 2012 5.3 V8. I do not trust GM to do what is right, but only to act in their own personal self interest as it "hits the bottom line". This will eventually result in a loss of market share...once everyone starts talking about it, and the news spreads across the USA and other countries.
Before buying any vehicle, I recommend carcomplaints.com; This is how I picked a "sweet spot" in the 5.3V8 engine. It was the last year...before they started to place AFM in the 5.3; Our 2006 Suburban with the 5.3V8 burns no oil, while having over 150k miles.
What "new" vehicle would I buy? Definitely not a Chevy truck, although they look good! Unlikely a Ford truck, although most other people are buying them. Possibly a Dodge truck, but owning a 1977 Dodge Aspen "turned my stomach" against Chrysler products for life. My conscience would object to a foreign truck.
I don't really know!

I understand your only trying to help. However, there are not many numbers of the 5.3 motors in the later model years that have an oil consumption problem. The '07s especially do have issues. All the Internet "Complaint Sites" are at best suspect. If you go on NTHSA site, the complaints are almost hilarious.
Look at it this way-GM sells almost 50,000 units a month (Silverado/Sierra combined) -now do the math of how many complaints you saw and do a little simple division math problem and tell us what the percentage is.....
Before you buy a Toyota Truck check out the 'bed bounce" issue of the Tundra. For some reason known only to Toyota-they did not go with a boxed frame on their trucks. NOT VERY STRONG!

How is it that you know "there are not many numbers of the 5.3 motors in the later model years that have an oil consumption problem" ???
If "All the Internet Complaint Sites are at best suspect"...how can anyone trust not only what is posted there...as well as the comments you and everyone else is making in this forum and all other forums?
I went to the NTHSA site as you indicated, spent about 1 hour researching 2008 Silverado complaints, and observed 112 total complaints for the 2008 Silverado. The bulk of these complaints were mostly within 2 years of purchasing the 2008 Silverado. And, I did not find a single "excessive AFM oil burning" complaint.
However, here is the problem with your assertion: These people only drove the 2008 Silverado 2 years and less before reporting a problem. The AFM engine failures occur "after" an average of 55k miles. (based on the documented complaints for the 2008 and 2009 Silverado found in carcomplaints.com). Of course there would be few or no complaints for the 2008 Silverado, since most owners don't drive 55k miles the 1st 2 years of ownership!
Per your recommendation to "do the math of how many complaints you saw and do a little simple division math problem and tell us what the percentage is..." here is what I found:
total 2008 Silverado complaints = 72
total 2008 Silverado complaints regarding "excessive oil consumption" = 8
percentage of 2008 Silverado complaints just for "excessive oil consumption" = 15% (8 / 72 = 15.27777)
total 2009 Silverado complaints = 28
total 2009 Silverado complaints regarding "excessive oil consumption" = 9
percentage of 2009 Silverado complaints just for "excessive oil consumption" = 32% (9 / 28 = 32.14285)
The NHTSA site is very poor for an analysis of complaints for the following reasons:
--The stated mileage at the time of failure is optional, and not often reported;
--Complaints are not categorized like carcomplaints.com allowing a simple analysis.
--Much of the information is free form, requiring a tedious "word for word" read of all 112 complaints...which I did.
For those people on carcomplaints.com who purchased a 2008-2009 $40k Silverado, and between 15-30% of them had a serious oil burning problem within 2 years, one should not have a cavalier attitude about a serious dollar hit on one's wallet and assume people who complain are hilarious.
You said "Before you buy a Toyota Truck...".
I never said I was going to go and buy a Toyota Truck, seeing as my previous post indicated: "my conscience would object to (buying) a foreign truck".
You gave me a home work assignment when you said in your post: "tell us what the percentage is". I told you what I found, and why your assertions were not workable at this time.
Now, it is your turn for a little home work assignment, to research at least 5 GM/Chevy forums and tell us "what you found" for those who reported/complained about AFM problems, and tell us if those people thought their problems were hilarious.

You have to figure total amount of units sold vs. those that have issues to arrive at percentage.

Doing it the way you did it-will just tell you what percentage of complaints are oil comsumption complaints
You want to know total complaints divided by total vehicles at risk-meaning total sold with AFM 5.3's
Now there really ISN'T any way top get that data-yes you can find out how many sold
but you can't find out how many buyers complained to GM about oil consumption-they won't tell you-simple as that-and they have good reasons for that-their competition would spin those complaints-fairly or unfairly-and use them against you
NOW- MAYBE MAYBE you could use your method-and get a useful HINT-
Look at earlier years- SAY 2006 -calculate what percentage of total complaints are OIL CONSUMPTION COMPLAINTS
then do same for 2007- if 2007 vehicles have a MUCH higher percentage of oil consumption complaints
it might SUGGEST -SUGGEST that oil consumption problems INCREASED when GM went to AFM
ALSO if TOTAL-not percentage-OIL CONSUMPTION complaints increased from 2006 to 2007-that MIGHT suggest a problem also
You really need what you can't get-total complaints given year divided by total AFM 5.3 motors sold that year-AND YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT A NORMAL number of OIL CONSUMPTION COMPLAINTS is-you can't get that either unfortunately
Check you numbers against 2006 numbers-see if there is a hint of a problem-won't PROVE it is a problem-but might hint that way
So more or less total complaints 2006 vs 2007
Higher or lower percentage of complaints 2006 vs 2007
And see if you can find historical controls-how many folks complain about excessive oil consumption
And use GMs number-lotta folks bitch about 1 qt per 2000 miles-which isn't excessive- it wouldn't make me happy to use that much-but it wouldn't be excessive
Kinda doubt my 1998 5.7 Suburban burns or leaks 2 qts per 2000 miles-and it has a leak or two-223,000 miles-but it is a winner 21 mpg hy despite all the miles years
It would piss me off if I spent BIG $$ and got a lemon-but 100,000 miles-no horrible problems-not really a lemon-sucks but probably just unlucky-got one on the short end of the curve
Yeah-compare 2006 to 2007 oil complaints-best you can do with the limited data you can get1998 suburban-
1/2 ton
199500 miles

Knives on a plane
TSA chief, John Pistole's proposal to change TSA's policy on prohibiting weapons on aircraft is a recipe for disaster.
As a 32-year flight attendant, I am very familiar with the dangers inherent in confrontations with inebrieated or irate passengers. When a potential weapon is introduced into the equation, the threat of serious injury or death to flight attendants – and passengers – increases exponentially. Many flights do not have an air marshal aboard. The plane's captain and first officer are locked in the cockpit and will not be available to assist in an emergency.
Neither flight attendants nor passengers can be expected to have the training necessary to confront an armed assailant or terrorist. And, in the enclosed environment of an aircraft cabin, flying at 32,000 feet over the U.S. or international waters, that armed assailant can inflict considerable harm to many individuals before he is brought down. It's hard to envision a more captive collection of potential victims!
I strongly recommend each of you contact your elected representatives to voice your opposition to this incredibly short-sighted move!
Lynne Seymour, River Bend

Pumpkin Blondies
As far as the cheery winter squash goes, that was the extent of my using it. Not only that, but it was also restricted to a specific time of year, October through November.
My pumpkin like turned to pumpkin love when we moved to Brazil. I honestly had no idea that other cultures were so good at using pumpkin until I began seeing all the different varieties at the farmer's markets and the creative dishes on menus and buffets.
The pumpkins there were nothing like our standard Jack O' Lantern and pie pumpkins in Kentucky. Some were dark green with deep ridges; others were bright orange, flat and round. There was candied pumpkin, pumpkin in pastas and roasted pumpkin topped with Gorgonzola as a side dish.
Fortunately, this year I'm starting to see some variation in pumpkin varieties in our area and I love it. To add to that, pumpkin is popping up in unexpected places, especially in my kitchen.
Now, I'm not breaking any pumpkin records with this recipe. It's a sweet dessert made in autumn, yes. Pretty standard; but worth posting if you need an idea for something besides a quick bread or muffin.
I wish these had turned out a little chewier like traditional blondies, but I have yet to make a pumpkin baked good that doesn't turn out a bit cakey. So call them, cake, bars or blondies, but whatever the name, call them good.
Pumpkin Blondies
Adapted from Butterscotch Brownies or Blondies from Joy of Cooking
1 cup white whole wheat flour
¼ tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup mascavo or muscovado sugar
¼ cup Demerara or raw sugar
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter then allow it to boil, stirring constantly, until it is light golden brown. About 4 minutes. Stir in both sugars. Stir well to combine. Set aside and let cool until barely warm.
Stir the egg into the sugar and butter. Mix well. Stir in the vanilla. Add the pumpkin puree. Slowly add in the flour mixture, stir just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and stir to incorporate.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool and cut into bars. Makes 16 small bars.

I, too, have graduated from a pumpkin liker to a lover. I have the same wish you do though that some baked goods using pumpkin could stand to be a little chewier and not so wet, if you will. These look delish though!

Francisco Liriano, Glen Perkins & Friday Links
by, 03-09-2012 at 07:23 AM (958 Views)
[Originally posted at Twins Fan From Afar]
The Twins' offense hasn't really showed up this far in Spring Training, but yesterday, Francisco Liriano had a great 3-inning start against Tampa Bay, striking out five and, most importantly, walking none. Additionally, the three innings took only 34 pitches to get through. Sure, many in Tampa Bay's lineup weren't major league hitters, but it's still encouraging and hopefully is a sign of things to come.
The big Twins news yesterday, of course, was that the Twins and left reliever Glen Perkins agreed to a 3-year, $10.3 million extension, which keeps him in a Twins uniform through 2015, with a team option for 2016. This should prove to be a great signing, I think. First, if last year (and this year, so far) has taught us anything, it's that you simply cannot completely destruct a bullpen and easily rebuild it from scratch -- there has to be some continuity, some returning veterans. This contract ensures a veteran bullpen presence for the foreseeable future. Second, the value of the contract is reasonable, especially if Perkins pitches at the same level he did most of 2011. Third, although the contract reportedly contains escalators if Perkins finishes games (takes over as closer), his base salary for 2014 and 2015 is only $3.75 million. In other words, even if you tack on, say, an extra $1 million if Perkins ends up assuming the closer's role in another couple years, $4.75 million for a (hopefully) effective closer is a bargain for the Twins. And even if Perkins just continues to be the late-inning, high-leverage situation guy for the Twins, which is, for now, where I think he's most valuable to the Twins, it's still a great contract. Now I look for Perkins to take that next step and really become a bullpen and clubhouse leader. Congratulations, Glen.
It was a busy week for the Twins, and also for Twins bloggers. Here are a few links that I enjoyed reading this past week.
First, respected Twins' veteran blogger Aaron Gleeman lost 150 pounds this year. Amazing. Congratulations, Aaron.!
Capital Babs from Knuckleballs is at Spring Training right now, and on her honeymoon. She has some good pictures and posts from attending the Twins' B-game, which really featured a lot of the A-lineup.
NoDak Twins Fan analyzes the scenarios under which the Twins could either keep Francisco Liriano through all of 2012, or trade him before the deadline. Personally, it's a lot easier for me to imagine the scenarios where we trade Liriano, than it is to imagine the scenarios where we keep him, especially as he nears free agency. Time will tell.
John J. Parent at Call to the Pen wrote a great season preview for the Twins. Spoiler alert -- he's concerned with the health of Mauer and Morneau. This is a very well done piece.
The Common Man reviews MLB 12 the Show, which is about the only video game series that I enjoy playing. I think I might save the $60 and not buy it this year, though, as I bet the Twins are pretty awful in it.
Last but not least, Minnesota's own Lindsay Guentzel was selected for the starting 9 in MLB's 2012 Fancave. Some of the other winners include Yankees and Braves fans, so things could get ugly fast. In all seriousness, though, this is a big deal, and hopefully will help Lindsay in her journalism career. Congratulations, Lindsay!

This was the first time I stayed at a Stayokay hostel. The staff was very courteous and helpful. I'm on bicycle tour of Europe. I especially appreciated the fact that they lock the bicycle in a secure location rather than just locked up on the street or down in a basement.

Excellent stay. Only two minor complaints. The windows of the rooms cannot be properly opened, it's too hot in there and there can be a bad smell - it's a backpacker hostel after all. Opening the windows is really necessary. Also in the other rooms of the house, there was not enough air circulation and it smelt badly. The staff should at least open extensively all windows. The location is pleasant but very far from the city center.

This was my first hostel experience and I was very impressed! Comfortable and clean environment, staff was very helpful in helping us plan our activities, and the breakfast was much better than expected. The bike rental service was great also. Location is quiet and about a 20 minute walk from the center of town, very restful. Thought it is a little on the pricier side, I would highly recommend this hostel!

RALEIGH — In the summer of 1994, Melanie Dubis was a law clerk at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, where she spent time parsing the language in the state constitution regarding the right to public education.
She had no idea, though, that her work would help lay the foundation for one of the state's best-known legal sagas, the Leandro case, and would follow her throughout her legal career.
The Leandro case would establish that students in the state's poorest school districts were not receiving the "sound basic education" to which they were entitled. It also ushered in nearly a decade of legal wrangling over the state's efforts to meet that obligation.
Dubis, now 43, has stuck with the case all along – from clerk to young associate to partner at the venerable firm with six offices in several states. She has been involved through the five-week trial, numerous appeals, and 20 court hearings since the landmark 2004 ruling by Superior Court Judge Howard Manning.
This month, she was back at it again as she argued in front of the state Supreme Court that funding reductions to the state's prekindergarten program by the current legislature violate the right to a sound education. The court hasn't yet issued a ruling.
Larry Armstrong is the school board attorney for Halifax County, one of five rural counties that originally filed the suit in 1995. He said Dubis' deep knowledge of and commitment to the Leandro case have served the state's poorest students well over the years.
"Melanie has brought a passion and enthusiasm to the case that I don't think she could bring if she didn't really believe in the cause," Armstrong said. "She's very professional, and she's stuck with it through a lot of ups and downs."
It's an unusual legacy for a lawyer whose practice is mainly devoted to complex corporate cases. But Dubis, also board chairwoman for the Carolina Ballet, relishes variety.
She speaks widely at civic groups about the Leandro case, and Dubis has also spoken to groups about cyberbullying and other issues with the expertise she built in researching privacy and liability issues about social media. She also serves as pro bono general counsel for the Alliance of AIDS Services-Carolina.
"You have to learn every aspect of every industry you work with and every fact pattern you get," she said. "While this case is all about differentiated instruction and formative and summative assessments, for a patent case, you have to learn about ranitidine hydrochloride. Every case you're learning something new."
A gift for argument
Dubis grew up in Kernersville, a Piedmont town that she said was pleasantly small, but close enough to Winston-Salem and other Triad cities to afford her access to malls, concerts and annual performances of "The Nutcracker."
Her mother was a bookkeeper, and her father worked as a truck driver after retiring from the Air Force.
Dubis' plans to study law started when she was still in elementary school and were prompted by her mother, who was exasperated with her combative nature.
"You like to argue so much, you should be a lawyer," Dubis recalls her mother saying.
So she studied political science at UNC-Chapel Hill and went on to Vanderbilt University for law school.
Initially, Dubis thought arguing in court was primarily what lawyers did. But when she realized how rarely most attorneys go to trial, she considered going into criminal law so she would be able to spend more time in court.
But her criminal law classes didn't go well, she said, and her summer at Parker Poe did. So she returned to the firm, which typically represents businesses in corporate disputes.
Basic skills for students
The Leandro case was brought by students in five rural school districts who argued that they were not receiving an adequate education; six urban school districts eventually joined.
Armstrong, the attorney who helped initiate the case, said the group intentionally chose Parker Poe, which represents the Leandro plaintiffs at a discounted rate.
"There are entities that routinely file civil rights actions and actions for protection of children," he said. "We wanted Leandro to be a different kind of lawsuit, and we wanted a different kind of law firm."
When Dubis took a full-time job at the firm in 1995, the Leandro case was on hold pending a motion to dismiss it entirely.
By 1997, it was clear that the case would go to trial, and Dubis was chosen to be part of the team led by Robert Spearman, then a partner at Parker Poe.
For the law student who wanted to maximize her time in the courtroom, the intense five-week trial was exciting. But the time she spent preparing for the trial was equally eye-opening.
Her work brought her to rural Hoke County, where she was taken aback by the stark differences between the rural schools there and those she had experienced in Kernersville – from the large numbers of poor students to the lack of resources in science labs.
Part of her job was to assess how prekindergarten classes might help students, some of whom entered kindergarten without ever seeing a book or holding a crayon.
"They didn't know that you read it from left to right," she said. "They didn't know how to hold a book or a pencil. They come to kindergarten with the difficulty of trying to make up all that lost ground."
Dubis questioned several witnesses during the trial, including getting testimony from local employers about the need to teach new high school graduates basic skills.
Manning's 2004 ruling was considered a victory for the districts. And since then, Manning has continued to monitor the state's efforts to ensure that poor students are receiving adequate services.
The current issue arose when the legislature reduced funding to NC Pre-K, the state prekindergarten program for poor students that, until recently, was known as More at Four.
Dubis is now the lead lawyer on the case; Spearman has retired. She argued that the state has touted the prekindergarten program as its key remedy for poor students under the Leandro ruling. Cutting the program, therefore, violates the ruling.
The Court of Appeals agreed and asked the state Supreme Court to review that decision.
Waiting for a Leandro ruling is nothing new for Dubis, who has spent long years with no activity on the case between appeals.
And while this month's hearing had political overtones – reinforced by those already critical of the Republican-led legislature – the Leandro case, Dubis said, has crossed typical political lines.
It was initially fought by Democratic governors and legislatures leery of the intrusion of the courts into policymaking. Yet Dubis said the issues at hand also transcend politics.
"The rights of children really shouldn't be a political issue," she said. "It's more fundamental than that."

Candyman episode was HILLARIOUS
About Holliston
Candyman episode was HILLARIOUS
yes it wasHatchetArmy4Lyfe on Sunday, April 29, 2012 - 8:44pm
You are right it was hilarious. I almost cried when Adam was telling Tony Todd off...especially when he gave Corri the ice cream. Just as I was about to lose it was when she started choking. lol. It was a great episode though.
Re: Candyman episode was HILLARIOUSShankara on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 6:39pm
I expected Adam and Corri to get back together at that point. I started another thread about that aspect of the show, but it is killing me that she isn't with him and is dating losers like the doctor guy. I get that it's just a show and as funny as the doctor guy is- it just tears me up and I have a hard time watching Adam hurt over her. Especially the ice cream speech and when he gave her the ice cream, inside I was kind of a mess. I've watched each one a bunch now, and Adam's speech in the first epiosde (the hooker one) about just wanting to buy Corri ice cream and then when he spills his guts to her outside of the bar it gets me every time. Maybe just hits too close to home because it seems people never realize that the right person is standing right in front of them the whole time. If Adam and Corri don't get together soon (and stay together, please) I don't know how much more I can take. I believe the show can still be just as funny and that there's enough other stuff with the career stuff without the writers needing to keep Corri and Adam apart. I know the season fnale has Adam and Joe giving their movie trailer to John Landis (IMDB has the plot outline up) and if he's mean to them about it I'm gonna throw my remote at my TV cause I hate watching them lose. I can't imagine the outcome is gonna be good but maybe because it's the end of the season, something will go right for them. Again, maybe just too close to home for me. One things for sure, I never expected to be so emotionally sucked into a stupid sitcom. As weird and funy as this show is, every now and then there's something that's just so fucking sweet that I get all worked up. I want to watch this show to escape how much my life sucks, not be reminded that I'm alone and heart broken. If this show is truly based on Adam's real life like I keep reading about then I wonder what aspect of Corri is real. Is Corri English the real Corri? If not, who is she and what is she doing now? Has she seen this show? Wish they'd put more info out about that.
Re: Candyman episode was HILLARIOUSSinisterRally54 on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 10:36pm
Shakma I totally agree with you. I thought that when (SPOILER) Adam stood up to Candyman and said that line "Corri is worh all of the ice cream in the world" and then she heard him defend her that there was gonna be like a huge kiss between them and that it was gonna be it and they were gonna get back together. Seemed like the perfect moment for Adam and Corri to get back together and I was surpised as hell that it didn't happen. But then I laughed my ass off when Adam mistakenly poisoned her with the strawberries as I never saw that coming! LOL! The cheesy sitcom ending music they used there was priceless, too. "friends and fun have just begun in Holliston!" ROTFLMAO!!! Reminded me of the ending to a 70's sitcom! i love that about this show, when they have the audience laugh at stuff that they shouldn't laugh at or have happy music over something totally messed up. I was like WTF???? LOL!
I disagree with you though that they need to get back together "or else" though. Their relationship is classic Ross and Rachel, Dawson and Joey, Sam and Diane, Pam and Jim type stuff and it's a core set-up for this series. The very fact that it is getting to you (and I hear you cause it gets to me too and I think about it a lot and root for them to get back together) means that the writers are doing a good job. (Actually, sorry- writer. Adam Green writes and directs all of the episodes.) If Adam and Corri got back together this early on then that would be a mistake, although the way they break rules on this show I wouldn't be shocked if they did get back together soon. I get the feeling that they'll get together eventually anyway. I mean they sort of have to. But that's what this show is about. the time of your life when things don't work out. Usually on TV shows when the main characters get together it's sort of the end of the show. I haven't cared about Pam and Jim on The Offce since they got back together. Though I admittedly don't really care about that show anyway.
This whole show is so weird to me because I never would have even known about it had I not been dragged to the screening they did in Holliston, Mass and now I'm boarderline obsessed with it. I seriously love this show so much and I'm kind of freaking out that there's only two episodes left this season. Whoever decided to only do six episodes should be shot. I hope they get more episodes out fast. The news release on this site says there won't be more episodes until summer of 2013. That's insane if that's true. Also, I met all four of the main cast members in Holliston at the screening and they couldn't have been nicer. The weird part is that they're all exactly like they are on the show. It's crazy but I wish I was friends with them in real life. I want to walk into that apartment and watch movies with Adam and Joe and look at laura's paintngs and try and talk sense into Corri so that she'll just be with Adam already. Maybe it's only because I met them in person, but I've never enjoyed a cast this much or wanted to live in the world of a show I watch. And I live in the real town of Holliston!! But I don't have friends like this show, sadly. I wish I did. i wish I could live in the show. I'm so happy that tomorrow is Tuesday night and that means a new episode but I can already tell you I'm going to be majorly bummed out after nex week's season closer. No matter what happens in it, I'm gonna be let down that I have to wait so long for more episodes. To the Fearnet people or the cast if they read this, please come back to Holliston again when you premiere the next season! That was so awesome! We would all love to have you back again.
I was also at the screening in HollistonHatchetArmy4Lyfe on Friday, May 4, 2012 - 12:09pm
and you are right. They all are totally sweet and down to earth. That was actually the second time I met Adam and he is so freakin gracious and sweet. He is one guy who really appreciates his fans. Joe is hilarious in person too and made me laugh the whole time I was talking to him. I had a blast that night and it was one I will def. always remember. Adam already started writing Season 2 so hopefully it'll be here sooner than a year from now. Usually when he gets ideas they seem to just pour out and he can't stop so we'll see. I hope so cuz the show is pretty amazing. As for him and Cori getting back together I was kind of shocked at the whole ice cream thing not sealing the deal also but as you guys said it would be too soon. Though in episode 5 when he hands her the robe and wraps it around her and said, "You dropped this" I almost cried AGAIN. Adam told me that if this episode tugs at your heart, wait until the season finallie. So I think somethings going to happen between them. and Yes I will be watching with tissues

Stony Brook Medicine "danced the dance" – the Pink Glove Dance, that is – and now needs help grabbing votes to help it win a national competition with the goal of raising breast cancer awareness.
Sponsored by MedLine Industries Inc., the Pink Glove Dance is a national competition that will award a first prize of $10,000 to the winner's charity of choice. Voting runs until Oct. 26 and is completed by a voting system integrated with Facebook. More than 250 entries were submitted.
"We danced the dance, and now it's time to rock the vote," said Linda Bily, cancer patient advocacy and community outreach coordinator for the Stony Brook Cancer Center, who coordinated production of Stony Brook's video. "We need the support not only of the campus, but from the broader community we serve, since our goal is 75,000 votes in just two weeks' time."
How to Vote: To vote for the Stony Brook video, make sure you are logged into Facebook and click here: PinkGloveDance.com. Click "Start Voting," then scroll down to the "S" section. Click on the "S" hyperlink, then scroll down to Stony Brook Medicine, where you can view the video and vote.
As of noon on Monday, Stony Brook had 365 votes. Its video includes the Stony Brook cheerleaders, dance team, hockey team, diving team, along with dozens of doctors, staff, students, fire department volunteers, and community members – and even sky divers with the signature pink gloves.
Dr. Yusuf Hannun, director of the cancer center, said in a statement that while the dance is in good fun, it represents a serious cause in its mission to defeat breast cancer.
"This video project is symbolic of all that we can accomplish when we join together to achieve one unifying goal," he said. "It symbolizes the enormous teamwork at Stony Brook Medicine in dedicating our research efforts toward finding a cure for this disease."

Mineral Wells Index
By CLINT FOSTER
The land of Crazy Water got some national exposure Thursday night when a murder victim on the CBS show "Elementary" was mentioned multiple times as being from "Mineral Wells, Texas."
"Elementary" is a modern adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories in which Holmes is a former consultant for Scotland Yard now living and solving crimes in New York City.
The show features the talents of Johnny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson – named for Holmes' sidekick in the original novels.
In Thursday's episode, titled "Blood is Thicker," the character from Mineral Wells, named Haley Tyler, fell to her death from the balcony of her New York City apartment onto the roof of a delivery truck.
The detectives are left to determine if Tyler's death was an accident or if, indeed, foul play was involved.
In bygone day, Mineral Wells was a destination city for the rich and famous, as many celebrities such as Clark Gable and Judy Garland flocked to the North Texas town to stay in the luxurious Baker Hotel and soak in the town's healing Crazy Water mineral baths.
Could such national exposure signal an impending rise for Mineral Wells back to prominence?
With plans to now renovate the Baker, reopen the Crazy Water Bath House and a potentially build a specialized ammunition factory, only time will tell if Mineral Wells does indeed go the way of the phoenix.
Watch "Elementary" on Thursdays at 9 p.m. on CBS on online at cbs.com/shows/elementary.

The Morton and Barbara Mandel Family Foundation Presents The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt $10 Million Gift
The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum has received a $10 million gift from the Morton and Barbara Mandel Family Foundation on behalf of longtime trustee and board chair Barbara Mandel and her husband Morton. The gift is the largest in the history of the museum and will support the new Cooper-Hewitt, which opens in fall 2014 with 60 percent more gallery space after a major renovation of the historic Carnegie Mansion and grounds.
In recognition of this gift, the new third-floor gallery, which provides an additional 6,000 square feet of exhibition space, will be named the Barbara and Morton Mandel Design Gallery in their honor. The Mandel gift will also support the museum's new visitor experience, physically and virtually, through new interactive experiences and increased digital access to the museum's collection of 217,000 objects.
Barbara Mandel joined Cooper-Hewitt's board in 1997 and has been a member of the museum's executive committee since 1998. She has played an active role at Cooper-Hewitt, supporting numerous exhibitions, education programming, digital initiatives and the renovation. Most recently, she served on the executive search committee, which resulted in the appointment of Caroline Baumann as the museum's fifth director.
"Barbara Mandel is a cornerstone of the museum's board of trustees and her leadership has been a guiding force for the museum's transformation," said Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough. "Barbara and Mort's generosity is truly enabling Cooper-Hewitt to deliver its mission and turn museum goers into designers."
"Believing in design's power to change, Barbara and Mort are visionaries who have supported our mission for almost two decades," said Caroline Baumann, director of Cooper-Hewitt. "We are so grateful for Barbara and Mort's support, which will have an incredible impact, broadening our audience by truly making design accessible to everyone."
"Design empowers us on so many levels, and Mort and I are thrilled to support Cooper-Hewitt as it begins a new era," said Barbara Mandel. "Having been on the board for 17 years, it is truly gratifying to see this organization expand physically and digitally. In preparation for the opening, we've made a quantum leap in terms of digital access to our extraordinary collection, which will be the backbone of our new visitor experience."

Ada —
Two East Central University graduates – Mara Richards and Susan Rindal – are two of 12 nominees for the State of Oklahoma Teacher of the Year Award, it was recently announced.
The state's Teacher of the Year will be announced at the Oklahoma State Fair later this month in Oklahoma City. The winner will take part in the national Teacher of the Year competition and serve as Oklahoma's ambassador of teaching, according to Regional University System of Oklahoma Regent Richard Ogden.
Richards received a master's degree in library media from ECU after completing her bachelor's degree in biology from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. She teaches at Durant Middle School in Durant.
ECU also graduated Rindal, who earned a master's degree in reading education. She teaches at Vanoss Elementary School in Vanoss.
"At ECU, we have adopted a continuous improvement model that utilizes input from parents, employers and other stakeholders, as well as assessment data to ensure our programs are effective," said Brenda Walling, dean of ECU's College of Education and Psychology. "Mara and Susan's successes in the school library and classroom show our graduates are prepared for the challenges of teaching. They continue ECU's long, proud history of preparing outstanding teachers."
Alumni that have gone through the ECU program have ultimately been named Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. Most of this year's nominees actually graduated from the Regional University System of Oklahoma universities, the state's traditional teacher education schools.
"Seven of the 12 nominees earned degrees from one of our six universities," said Ogden. "Since voters included these schools in our constitution as a vital part of the state's vision for the future, we have recognized the importance of education and of dynamic teachers for Oklahoma's growth and well-being."
Some 87 percent of the system's graduates stay in Oklahoma and return almost $10 in benefits for every $1 of state resources spent on the students' education, Ogden said.
"That's an enviable return on investment. Leading the list of nominees shows the investment produces great results for the children of our state and the future of our people," said Ogden.
Also nominated from RUSO institutions were:
*Therese Rawlinson, received bachelor's degree in elementary education and master of education degree in reading education from Northeastern State University. She teaches at Jane Phillips Elementary in Bartlesville.
*Gentry Guinn earned bachelor's degree in education from Northeastern State and teachers at Porter High School in Porter.
*Tera Landrum received a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Northeastern State and teaches at Oak Crest Elementary in Broken Arrow.
*Chelsea Roberts earned a master's degree in history from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. She teaches at Woodward Middle School in Woodward.
*Barbara Bayless received a master's degree in reading from the University of Central Oklahoma. She teaches at James Griffith Intermediate School in Choctaw.

To get the program running we have first turned-on its transactions rewards points component, and to announce its launch we have decided to QUADRUPLE the normal rewards points rewards for the next three days (Wed., Thurs., & Fri.

So, for example, if you place an order for $100 worth of products you will earn 400 points instead of the usual 100 points (which equates to $20 worth of discount on a future order(s) when you choose to redeem the points).

Street artists take over subway (From Gazette)

Street artists take over subway
4:00pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
STREET artists have taken over an underpass plagued by graffiti vandals.
The move is in a bid to discourage people from painting offensive messages on the subway, near to Peto Avenue, in Mile End.
Artist Scott Irving was approached by Martin Goss, borough councillor for Mile End, to carry out the work.
Mr Scott said: "We were working on another project in Colchester when we were asked to take part and we jumped at the chance.
"For us, it was a nice project, because it was so difficult.
"We needed to get the balance right between 'street' and more traditional murals, so everyone using the subway would be happy."
The new art shows a European dragon, a woodland scene and some street art.
Mr Irving joined Sean Dipper and Gemma Rose to start the work last Tuesday. The £2,000 project was completed on Saturday.
The team, from Brave Arts, in Southend, have also worked on stairwells in car parks in Osborne Street and Nunns Road, Colchester.
