(A T-bone is similar, but smaller.) Here, we brush the steaks with a richly-flavored baste, dust them with our favorite rub, and smoke them for 30 minutes before finishing over high heat. While most recipes suggest letting steaks come to room temperature before cooking, we prefer to leave them in the refrigerator until we are ready to grill them.

Oakland >Bars & Clubs > Mc Nally Irish Pub
5352 College Ave, Oakland, CA | Directions 9461837.839298 -122.251232
Neighborhoods: Rockridge
Good service, pricey drinks – I'm not usually one for pubs, but the service here was great. I ended up having a pretty neat conversation with the bartender. The drinks were totally overpriced though. Not sure if just friendly service is worth their prices.
Eh. – Happy Hour on a Thursday. About 5 patrons. Overpriced Heffe: $5. Bartender provided little conversation.
They have big screen tv's, at least.
Saddest Guinness ever poured... – The saddest pint poured, ever. My friend and I were served a Guinness in a plastic drinking cup and my Murphys came in a can...for $5.50 each. Yesterday it was St Patrick's Day. The bartender slopped the cup down and spilled all over the bar. They "ran out of glasses." An insult to the Irish spirit. On St. Patrick's Day, we both agreed we would have had a better pour at the airport lounge, or possibly at a ballpark.
Good for a nice laid back drink – The bartenders treat everyone like they're locals, always attentive and ready to tell a joke. I've always enjoyed going there because the atmosphere is laid back and a favorite to locals, if you go, ask for a Mussollini, the tastiest drink they make.
I wish I could say better things – But this place is very ordinary. The Irish flavor is barely there. Aside from the bar the space is not much even with the fireplace. The bumper pool is just in the way. If you want a relatively quiet place to have a drink your fine.
A large fireplace and friendly service keep patrons warm at Rockridge's historic Irish pub. – The Scene
This is the oldest Irish pub in Oakland (established 1933). Dark-wood tones and a long bar give the place a classic feel. The centerpiece of the room is a huge stone fireplace. Decorations include European sports paraphernalia, a framed portrait of JFK and a sign counting the days until St. Paddy's day. Irish bartenders keep folks happy with fast, friendly service.
The Draw
This is not a sports bar, but patrons watch two TV monitors closely when games are on. During the school year, this place gets crowded on weekend nights with UC Berkeley students blowing off steam. Most other times, it's a simple neighborhood watering hole for Rockridge locals. A bumper pool table provides a unique diversion, while Elvis and the Beatles dominate the jukebox.
fireplace and freindly barpeople – They have a great fireplace that burns REAL logs, friendly bar staff that are quick with a joke and with a drink.
They even have an outdoor smoking patio, and a back room that looks like some friendly nieghbor's garage, complete with card tables, small television, and posters tacked up on the walls...
a very comfortable and warm place to sit a while.

After a storied, 79-year history as the Army's New England headquarters, the base's thousands of acres were a bit desolate.
Many remembered fondly the busy, bustling place the post had been. Families lived in the tidy neighborhoods and officers enjoyed the stately brick homes on tree-lined streets. The parade ground was often full and the post had the buzz of purpose. Generations of soldiers went through Devens — it trained infantry divisions, nurses, cooks, chaplains and bakers, and in 1940 it became the reception center for all New England draftees, according to the Devens website. It also served as a demobilization center for many returning troops. Since its birth in 1917, as Camp Devens, and its naming as a permanent Army post, Fort Devens, in 1931, the land had played a vital role in the nation and region's military history.
But, after the Army packed up and left in the mid-1990s, one got the sense that tumbleweeds could soon start rolling down the streets, says Brewer, the vice president of sales, marketing and real estate in Devens.
Brewer works for MassDevelopment, a public-private enterprise that, according to its website, works to "strengthen the Massachusetts economy."
"You couldn't get a cup of coffee here," he said recently, sitting in a van at an intersection by the new Devens Common area, where hotels, a gas station and small shops now stand.
In 1996, the future looked daunting. It is a scene familiar to any community that has withstood a base closure and one that is echoed in the challenges Anniston faces after the 1999 closure of Fort McClellan. For Ayer, Shirley and Harvard, towns that have always been linked to the fort's physical property as well as its fate, the fort's closure was devastating. More than 7,000 jobs were wiped out and the communities that had catered to the post for decades were left reeling. But planners recognized that the crisis that demanded an innovative approach, so they embarked on a bold experiment.
It is an experiment that has been successful in many ways. It would become one of the largest redevelopment projects in the Commonwealth's history.
Brewer smiles, remembering the first time he turned onto this road and had to wait for traffic to pass. "To see that transformation after 11 years" has been rewarding, he says. Today, Devens is a thriving multi-use community, cited as a model for base-redevelopment efforts nationwide.
Eighty-seven businesses currently operate at Devens, employing 3,634 people, according to a report released in June from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst's Donahue Institute.
These jobs are in private, nonprofit and government sectors; 72 percent are private-sector jobs. Devens jobs pay good wages, the report says. "Estimated average wages in Devens are high relative to those in the Commonwealth, $69,210 versus $57,304," according to the report.
Drive down the wide boulevard that enters Devens today and one is greeted by a mix of bucolic and historic scenes, interspersed with industrial sites.
Economic development is in full-swing here — attracting everything from biotech companies to warehouses and light manufacturing.
Around 150 families also live in Devens. And, according to the Donahue Institute study, the former base's total economic contribution to Massachusetts equals $1.44 billion. This includes estimated direct spending of $841 million and an additional $600 million in indirect spending, the report says.
With these contributions come tax revenue, as well. The report says private firms at Devens "can be expected to pay an estimated $2.94 million in corporate profits tax in 2013, while their employees will pay an estimated $12.9 million in personal income tax."
Devens has thrived even during the economic downturn. Planners and state officials tout it as a shining success story and virtually beam with pride when talking about the former post.
So, how did this happen? How did Devens get where it is today, and what lessons does it offer for other similar communities, such as Anniston?
The Devens story offers a lesson in the benefits of sustainable mixed-use planning, government collaboration and business recruitment strategies.
Development at Devens doesn't happen by chance. It is carefully planned — there is an overriding vision that is enshrined in its master re-use plan, and everything refers back to that document.
Planners have been blessed with a supportive state Legislature and successive governors from both parties and a central agency — MassDevelopment – with the means to manage and facilitate the process. It also benefits from fast-track permitting that makes Devens appealing to businesses, a highly skilled and educated workforce and an accessible location.
Challenges do remain and the question of housing at the former fort – how much is too much and who should have the final say and the challenge of what will happen to Devens when MassDevelopment is slated to leave in 2031 – will likely be key topics of conversation and debate in the years to come.
Transforming Devens
Devens' military history is felt all around.
The U.S. Army Reserve still keeps a substantial training and vehicle maintenance presence on 5,000 acres here. A federal prison hospital – where accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is housed — sits in a barbed-wire-clad enclave and remains Devens' biggest employer. Streets still bear the names of generals and battles: Patton, Sherman, Antietam and Vicksburg Square among them. A museum carefully preserves and celebrates the base's history.
But, Devens is also transformed in many ways from the Army fort it once was. Dog walkers and bicyclists roam the quiet and pastoral streets. Flower gardens and trim green lawns dot the residential neighborhoods.
Shirley has carved out a section of Devens – known as the Shirley Village Area – for municipal buildings and a new middle school.
The Frances W. Parker Essential Charter School educates students from a variety of towns. The Shriver Job Corps gives "at-risk" youth training and educational opportunities. There is a food bank, a women's shelter, housing for homeless veterans, child-care centers and shops. There are acres of open space and many businesses employing thousands.
How did Devens get here?
It was a huge challenge. How to take 4,400 acres and transform them into a multi-use, vibrant community? How to replace the jobs that left with the Army? How to care for and manage the land? How to draw employers?
Who was even capable of rising to this challenge? The local towns? The state?
As with most base closures, the federal government was the messenger and executioner but then would step aside. It would deem the need for Army Reserve training facilities and the prison hospital. It would clean up the extensive environmental issues — Devens was declared a SuperFund site when the Army left, mostly because of leaking oil storage containers and a former parachute dry-cleaning facility that leached chemicals into the ground, according to Brewer.
Planners were faced with both serious environmental challenges and an "antiquated" infrastructure, with many deferred maintenance issues, says Brewer.
It seemed a huge challenge – one that the three towns didn't have the capacity to undertake. So, it seemed early on that redeveloping Devens would take an innovative approach. Enter MassDevelopment.
Devens shares many characteristics with McClellan. Both are former Army posts that were closed in the 1990s and both are going through a redevelopment process.
The similarities seem to end there, however. Most Devens stakeholders say the role of MassDevelopment — the quasi-public agency tasked with managing the redevelopment – has been key in any successes they have had.
After the Army left, Devens received the promise of hundreds of millions of dollars through this state-enabled private-public partnership. McClellan has been forced to make it on its own. The Army paid millions of dollars to clean up unexploded ordnance, but neither state nor local governments offered cash to develop and promote the property.
Meanwhile, for Devens, MassDevelopment has been the facilitator of its new life.
According to George Ramirez, MassDevelopment's executive vice president of Devens operations, the redevelopment of Devens has been unique, even in comparison to other closed military bases in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Legislature "enacted Chapter 498 of the Acts of 1993 naming the Government Land Bank as the Devens redevelopment authority and the Devens Enterprise Commission (DEC) as the local permitting authority," says Ramirez in an email.
Devens was purchased for $17.9 million and the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, commonly known as MassDevelopment, would succeed the land bank as the organization charged with running Devens.
"MassDevelopment is a quasi-public organization that gets some funding from the Commonwealth restricted for specific uses but mostly has to generate its own resources," explains Ramirez.
It does this with interest from successful loans and with fees for issuing tax-exempt bonds for nonprofits, manufacturers and others, according to a Boston Globe profile of the agency.
MassDevelopment has projects in a variety of Commonwealth communities. It functions as a lender and developer and offers finance programs and real estate development.
During 2012, MassDevelopment worked on 280 projects and invested nearly $2.5 billion, according to its annual report.
About 40 MassDevelopment staffers work in Devens.
Getting started
The first step at Devens was coming up with a master plan to dictate use. This mixed-used plan was created with "a lot of input from local communities," says Brewer.
Replacing some of the jobs lost when the base closed was the No. 1 priority.
"These communities have taken a significant hit from the base closure," says Brewer. "Our mission has been to replace jobs, attract businesses."
The towns of Ayer, Shirley and Harvard had cultivated a business community and workforce that catered to their federal neighbor. The three towns had long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the fort. On one street that directly borders Devens in Ayer, for example, there is still the ghost of the typical soldier-centric strip mall sprawling out from the fort, which catered to the 15,000 military families that lived at Devens in its heyday.
But planners also recognized the danger of relying on one industry to redeem the area and so sought to recruit a wide mix of industries.
They didn't want Devens to be a "one-trick pony," says Brewer. "Leadership … knew we had to diversify."
"A mixed-use project was envisioned in the master plan," he says. "I think Devens has benefited from multi-use … I feel as though we have a good balance, sustainable development."
Planners also included a residential component, with a strict cap on new housing units.
"Devens seeks to balance its commercial and residential users in ways that ultimately benefit both parties," says Ramirez.
Planners also sought to include recreation offerings and to preserve the historic area of the base.
Initially, MassDevelopment "focused its development on the core," Brewer says. That meant repairing and rebuilding sewer, electricity and water systems and "upgrading the infrastructure."
All of that work was vital in order to make the land appealing to businesses and residents, planners say.
A business services district was included in the re-use plan because developers "recognized the need for hospitality, restaurants, things to support businesses," says Brewer. That vision has been realized in the Devens Common area, which now houses two hotels, a restaurant, a Dunkin' Donuts, a gym, a dry cleaner, a credit union and a gas station. There's also a public golf course, a community center, playing fields and a lake that is open to swimming and boating.
Current business tenants include a newspaper production hub, a central baking facility for Dunkin' Donuts, a warehouse that uses robots to fulfill e-commerce orders, various high-tech life science and biotech operations, a wind-turbine manufacturer, defense contractors and a recycling plant.
There was also space set aside for an "innovation technology park," which houses smaller tenants, such as start-ups, says Brewer.
In many ways, Devens is booming, but planners also sought a development plan that would last and would take into account environmental concerns.
Peter Lowitt, director of the Devens Enterprise Commission, says sustainable development emerged as a unifying theme when the first brainstorming sessions with stakeholders were held in the 1990s. That ultimately meant that out of Devens' 4,400 acres, 1,800 would be set aside for mixed-use economic development which would be handled with care to protect natural resources, says Lowitt.
Businesses hoping to locate at Devens must show a commitment to sustainable development, such as building greener buildings or plans to offset any possible air pollution, he says.
Developers created the Devens Eco-Efficiency Center to help in these efforts. The center works with businesses to "green their operations" through mentoring, forums and education. Devens has been structured as an "ecological industrial park" that has been recognized as a model for this sort of development, says Lowitt.
The focus on sustainable development also means being mindful of things such as availability of sidewalks and walking, hiking and biking trails to improve public health, he says.
Some might think added green regulations could create a burden to attracting development. Not so, says Lowitt. He says it's been an advantage.
"A number of companies have come here because of the ecological concepts," he says. He cites Bristol-Myers Squibb, which includes sustainable development in its mission statement. "It didn't hurt that we had that alignment," he says.
Devens planners are also mindful of preserving open space and wildlife habitat.
There's some land set aside for the U.S. Fisheries and Wildlife service, and because Devens happens to be friendly territory for the endangered Blanding's turtle, the land is dotted with yellow turtle-crossing signs.
Even as the eco-conscious ethos may appeal to global companies, the real incentive remains time, Lowitt says, because an expedited permitting process means businesses can get up and running quickly.
Enabling development
Ask MassDevelopment officials why they think they have been successful in redeveloping Devens and they cite several factors:
Brewer says a robust infrastructure and the expedited permitting process are two key advantages.
Funding and support from the Commonwealth, "the general strength of the Massachusetts economy, the continued presence of the military reserve forces at Fort Devens, the presence of talented workers near Devens in greater Boston and greater Worcester, and the expedited-permitting process" have made the re-use plan work, says Ramirez.
The expedited permitting comes up again and again when talking with Devens stakeholders. Businesses coming to Devens are promised a 75-day permitting process to get up and running — and in many cases the permits are cleared in under 75 days.
Tom Kinch, Devens resident and member of a local governing board, says the fast-track permitting has been invaluable.
"They have the ability to offer prospective industrial users a good, high-quality geography and quick permitting. They can basically give them authority in a very short time – less than 75 days – authority to build," he says.

- Overall Duration On a long ride, it's sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Breeze Bike Rides in Peterborough
This is a gentle amble around Peterborough and the surrounding areas. The Key Theatre is on the cycleways of Peterborough so we can go to Ferry Meadows, or Flag Fen, or Longthorpe Tower, without going on a road. Or we can go to Whittlesey if you want a longer ride! Where and how far we go is your choice, I am just the guide.
Once we've checked over our bikes, we'll ride out on cycle paths, exploring Peterborough's countryside and making the most of the lovely views and fresh air.
The routes are mostly flat and we'll ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don't have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Please note all children under the age of 16 MUST wear a helmet. Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments.
Please look out for other rides in Peterborough throughout the year where we'll be exploring more of Peterborough and its environs. The rides will vary and will be suited to the group and where you would like to go!
We'll meet at the bike racks. For more details go to the Facebook page Breeze Network Peterborough.
Don't live in Peterborough but want to join in?
The Key Theatre is around 5 mins ride away from Peterborough Train Station, along a cycleway, for more information please see the National Rail Enquires website.

So here is the deal. i am 24 weeks pregnant, have what they call an incompitant cervix, and having other pregnancy related problems. I have a hard time doing things on my own right now all the way down to pay the bills. My inlaws have been helping me out alot and i really appreciate it so very much and dont want to make them feel that i dont.
On mothers day we went to visit the family and was what i thought asked if my 4 year old son could go with my mother in law to another state for over 9 days. i said i was unsure about it and that im pretty sure he has a dr appointment. about 3 days later his grandma told me that his plane ticket was ready to go and that she had packed things for him. i didnt need to worry about packing for him.
I know that his grandma will take the best care of him that she can. my concerns are,
1. the family they are going to visit he does not know,
2. there will be 2 new babies that grandma has never met that will take alot of attention. one of which will only be a couple weeks old.
3. he has never been away from mommy for more than an hour at a time, he doesnt even go to day care.
4. he will be flying from montana to illinios. if anything happens to him i cant be there for him. i cant travel at all incase i begin to hemorage again.
Am i being to over protective? Am i right? i feel like i had absolutly no say so in what my son is doing in this case. im afraid that if i say no he is not going they wont help me anymore and i really have no where else to turn for help. I just dont know what to do, please someone out there help me ive been sick over this matter.
I think that you should let him go, I understand as a mother you always want to be there for your child but if you trust his grandmother than he will be fine. He will probably come back with more stories adn smiles on his face than ever. This will give you some time to yourself and actually relax there comes a time that you have to just trust the people around you and do it for your son and not keep him home for you! My son used to go to PA from MI for 2 and 3 weeks was on a plane at 6 months so it will be really good for him to experience other things.
Good luck
I have had a difficult mother-in-law as well. She was stubborn, old-fashioned, and a few other choice words I cannot say on this site. I truly think I can give you some at least decent advice, and I hope you at least read it over, think about it, and consider it.
The first thing I would do is talk to your son about it. Don't act nervous or scared, or he might become that as well. just ask him if he wants really wants to go or not. He might understand what you are saying, he might not, but I think you should definitely talk to him first. If he says he does want to go, make sure he knows he will not be able to see you. That he will be able to talk to you on the phone, but not see you in person. Ask him how he feels about staying at another person's house. If you want a good measure, ask an aunt or trusted friend or your parents to take him for a night one weekend just to see how he does, but if you want an accurate measure of how he might do, make sure it is someone he knows pretty much as well as grandma.
My grandma and grandpa babysat me starting at 3 mos when my mom went back to work and I was there for many hours a day. I liked it and I had fun, and I begged to stay in the summer, usually for weeks on end. I never had problems adjusting to new places or sleeping in unfamiliar rooms. That was because I always knew my mom would be back to pick me up. And if I missed her or wanted to ask her a question, I could talk to her on the phone. As long as there was one person I knew that I could stay next to, I was fine. My brother, however, did not stay there or anywhere else in those first couple years. He definitely has a harder time adjusting to new places, beds, and people. He gets homesick very quickly. If your son has never stayed the night anywhere else, and he can't stay the night at Aunt Karen's just one time, I would think the probability would be high that he could not stay at a stranger's house with Grandma and be okay.
Depending on how all of that goes, and how your relationship is with your mother in law, then you should talk to her next. I would be straight with her. That you would love for your son to have quality time with her, and it would kind of be a "vacation", but you have some real concerns because he is young and inexperienced in sleepovers and unfamiliar homes. Also, I would make her give you her word that you can talk to him every night before he goes to bed (or when he wakes up, or whatever works.) However, I don't think you should call more than once a day because she might think you don't trust her or that you are too attached to him. And honestly, I would probably think that too. Also tell your mother-in-law you are slightly upset because she did not give you time to fully think about letting him go and preparing for it before she assumed he could go and bought the ticket. If you have a good relationship and she is listening and understanding, you might also let her know that her doing that made you lose a little bit of trust you felt for her and it made you feel bad because you are his mother and should have made the decision. The extent that you talk to her and how you address each issue is up to you and depends on both of your temperaments and dispositions, but as long as you are mature, honest, and not condescending or whiny, I would tell her how you feel and discuss the trip with her. If she really cares about her grandson and taking him with her, she will listen to you and try to work it out. You could even include her in on the plan for your son staying the night somewhere else for the first time if you wanted. I hate to say it, but if you do end up letting him go, make SURE you have grandma's cell phone number because cell phones can be tracked.
I hope in the end you are calm and mature and put everything on the table that you are concerned about. She planned the trip assuming he could go and, therefore, kind of owes it to you to listen to your concerns and wishes while being calm and mature as well. She might be upset as well that you feel like you do, so try to be gentle and understanding. It increases your chances of getting kindness and understanding. I really hope this helps you and I absolutely wish you the best of luck!
I think you should let him go this time and take some time for yourself, but be firm in telling your mother in law that next time she wants to take him on a trip out of state for and extended amount of time, she should ask you first regardless of your current situation. After all he is your child not hers. Also tell her that you know she means well, and if they are supporting you financially then she understand where you are coming from, lets face it she is not going to let you and her grandchildren become destitute.
It is hard to let your children go.... I have a hard time letting my children go anywhere for a weekend, much less 9 days. If you think he will be well taken care of and looked after, then you should let him go. If your son does not want to go, then maybe you could talk to your mother in law and let her know that it is your son that is apprehensive and you worry he will miss you etc... Ask your mother in law if she is prepared to leave her trip early should your son really miss you and want to come home OR see if your husband can go pick him up after 3 or 4 days. You will have to make sure that you stand up for what you believe is best for your son without hurting your mother in law's feelings. Good luck and let us know what happens!

Taxis >Checker-Yellow Cabs
3001 Conti, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011929.970453 -90.088447
Neighborhoods: Mid-City, Mid-City
I tried. I tried to give this company another chance after an incident where I called multiple times and either the cab no-showed or the dispatcher didn't put in the order. The dispatchers are rude and unprofessional on the phone and they, regardless of reason, once again did not dispatch a taxi to me when I called for one multiple times. I refuse to use their service and as a worker in the hospitality industry here in New Orleans will help people avoid them.
They actually come, unlike . . . – Yellow uses a computer dispatch system that makes their drivers accountable for showing up.
dirty service being provided – I am a New Yorker. I pretty much understand how sometimes city centers are crowded. pretty much of life I spent on travelling. and this is not the first time I am in a great city of New Orleans. But this case of terrible service by taxi company of Checker Cab, #725 with the very rude and unproffesional driver made me not to use Checker Cab's service anymore. The thing is when I asked the driver to slow down, he started with cursing at me and telling me about the conditions of his stay in this country. He said that he is a legal person in this country and he is about to do whatever he wants with his car. From his sayings I understood that he became the resident of new orleans recently, and from his manner of speaking that was somehow empowering him while talking with customers. I would like say that I have nothing against foreign people, it is just the behaviour of that driver made me think that Checker Cab company is not able to hire proper employees who can provide acceptable service

Ali and John discuss just how much parents should be paying for after-school activities. From dance and playing musical instruments, to hiring after-school tutors for your kids - parents spend thousands of dollars on extracurricular programs. Since many schools offer their own after-school activities for free, is it worth it for parents to pay for these other pricey activities?
Do you think parents pay too much for extracurriculars? Tell us in the comments!
More can't-miss moments: Ali talks Alec Baldwin, the Jersey Shore cast, and other celebs who have been donating to Sandy victims; the Ohio woman who broke into her neighbor's house, cleaned it, and then left an invoice; and a saloon in the UConn territory that serves a cocktail called the Sourtoe - which is served with a severed toe in the drink.

FWD 4dr S
Starting at $25,600 | Starting at 26 MPG City - 32 MPG Highway
The 2013 MINI Cooper Countryman is a taller, rugged 4-door model that represents the automaker's venture into crossover vehicles. The Countryman is also the first MINI to offer all-wheel drive and the first model from the brand to offer adaptive headlamps. With four doors, the Countryman also offers a little more passenger versatility than the MINI Cooper models, while the brand's reputation assures they are more nimble, eager-feeling alternatives to other larger crossover vehicles. Its interior is also more versatile and spacious, with textured-grain surfaces and trim details, plus cargo solutions including the customizable Center Rail system that allows for four passengers, or a new rear bench seat that allows for five. With the added value, the Countryman has a starting price that isn't much higher than that of the MINI Cooper.
The MINI Cooper Countryman sees a few trim updates for 2013 as well as the introduction of a John Cooper Works model featuring more horsepower and sportier handling. Interior updates include new door inserts, new armrests and attractive detailing around the vents and dashboard. A rear bench seat will also be standard, though two rear buckets are a no cost option.
The 2013 MINI Countryman includes four models: MINI Cooper Countryman, Cooper S Countryman, Cooper S Countryman with 'ALL4' all-wheel drive and the John Cooper Works version. The Countryman includes a 121-horsepower, 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that can help the MINI reach 60 mph in 9.8 seconds; the Countryman S gets a 181-hp turbocharged version of the 1.6L that's capable of getting to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds, while the John Cooper Works version makes 208-hp with the same displacement, hustling to 60 mph in 7 seconds flat. All three engines are nicely fuel efficient: EPA ratings for the base Countryman are 27 mpg city, 35 highway.

Written by Marie Puissant
Students agree that the student body is very eye pleasing, literally. While there is a little more commentary about the girls, they do not discount the attractiveness of the male population. Looks aside, students do find most people to be accepting and friendly in nature. This "Midwestern mentality" makes it easy for new students or visors to feel comfortable at UW.
UW brings a wide range of people, and with that comes a wide range of personalities. It's not really fair to typify the guys into one group and the girls into another. Overall, there are a lot of friendly people. Whether you're in class, at work, or at a party, it is very easy to find someone to chat with, and more so to feel comfortable in your surroundings. That is the key-to find the environment you're into. On the flip side, you will find those that you clash with. Class-wise, this is great because it creates dialogue and debate, and hopefully both sides will leave the conversation with a better understanding of each other. Socially, this can be a problem, but only if you let it. Know whom you can and cannot tolerate outside of the classroom, and choose your social events accordingly.

Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef and leaders of the Rockland Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) today announced they have reached a tentative labor agreement. The CSEA is the county's largest labor union with close to 2,200 employees.
"For many months we have been negotiating with the CSEA," said Vanderhoef. "I am pleased that we were finally able to reach an agreement that I believe benefits the County, the employees and the taxpayers of Rockland County. We have taken many critical steps this year to improve the County's finances and settling this contract is an important piece of that overall plan. I'd like to thank the CSEA leadership for working with us and recognizing the challenges that we
faced as we negotiated this contract."
"We are pleased to have reached what we feel is a fair contract given the current fiscal climate," said CSEA Southern Region President Billy Riccaldo. "Through a respectful, collaborative process, we reached an agreement that achieves needed savings and preserves services for county residents while also offering needed job security for our members. I'd like to thank County Executive Vanderhoef for his commitment to wrapping up negotiations. I'd also like to extend my appreciation to the members of the CSEA Negotiating Committee and CSEA Chief Negotiator Larry Sparber for their hard work."
"After many months of negotiations, we are happy to be able to bring a tentative agreement back to our members that we feel is fair to both taxpayers and the CSEA workforce," said CSEA Rockland County Unit President P.T. Thomas. "We've said all along that meaningful savings could be achieved while preserving vital services and we feel this tentative contract does just that. We will be holding informational meetings with the CSEA membership to explain the details of the tentative agreement, after which the contract will go before the membership for a vote."
The tentative agreement, which is retroactive to January 1, 2011 and runs through December 31, 2013, includes the following:
●A 15% health insurance contribution rate for new employees
●A salary and wage freeze through the life of the contract, with the
exception of five year longevity increases or salary increases tied to
job promotions
●Deferred payment for a total of 10 days work during certain periods
in 2012 and 2013, with compensation for those days taking place on
December 1, 2014
●Language preventing layoffs for budgetary reasons through the life
of the contract
If the contract is ratified by the CSEA membership, it would then go to the County Legislature for final approval.

A report from the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers says Americans with tablets and smartphones spend as much time reading newspapers online as do those who still prefer the printed editions. The same is true for readers in Western Europe.
The report estimates that, around the world, 2.5 billion adults read newspapers in print while more than 600 million people get their papers in digital form, and that number grows each year.
Publishing has set sail for the digital universe, and one day the printed version of a newspaper, magazine or book may be strictly commemorative. (When the Orioles win the World Series, or the Ravens take another Lombardi Trophy, there certainly will have to be print editions of The Sun.)
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
This summer marks 40 years since I got my first newspaper job, and back then, even in the midst of the Watergate scandal — brought to us by dogged newspaper reporters — I heard veteran editors and reporters predict the demise of newspapers. The big villain then was television, and certainly massive numbers of Americans opted for that form of news over a printed newspaper and never looked back.
All that happened long before the digital age. In Baltimore, Hearst's News-American folded in 1986, and The Evening Sun folded into the morning newspaper about a decade later. In between, The Sun moved its printing operation — and its printers — out of our Calvert Street building to Port Covington, away from downtown.
This is all back story to the news I have for you today, a modest milestone on the way to the future: The last Baltimore "printer's Mass" will be celebrated at St. Vincent de Paul Church, starting 15 minutes into next Sunday, 12:15 a.m. June 30.
If you've never heard of the midnight "printer's Mass," or if you knew about it but assumed it was long gone — that's OK, too. We are talking about a religious relic.
A century ago, when the Sunday Sun and its Hearst competitor were printed in downtown Baltimore, the "printer's Mass" allowed the Catholic men of that ink-stained craft to fulfill their Sunday obligation by stopping at St. Vincent's on their way home after the Saturday night press runs.
The tradition, established with special permission from the Vatican, began in 1914 with a 2:30 a.m. Mass at the 172-year-old church on Front Street. Printers attended, as did railroad and postal workers, police officers and firefighters. Even some of the employees from the burlesque halls and clubs on The Block came to appreciate the early-morning Mass.
In 1941, St. Vincent's added the 12:15 a.m. Mass. In fact, according to a history provided by the church, two additional Masses were added in the basement chapel to handle overflow crowds. At one time, as many as 1,400 worshipers showed up to praise God in the wee hours.
According to Christopher McCullough, pastoral associate at St. Vincent's, the services also became popular with young people out on Saturday night dates. Parentally imposed curfews could be violated without consequence if a date ended with the "printer's Mass."
As you might imagine, attendance at the remaining "printer's Mass" — the 12:15 — has fallen off considerably. The Rev. Richard T. Lawrence, the longtime pastor, likes to say that the Mass usually "attracts enough for a minyan," meaning at least 10. Paul McMullen of The Catholic Review reported 16 worshipers at the June 8 service, and that included the Gospel reader and Eucharistic minister.
So next Sunday, St. Vincent's retires the Baltimore printer's Mass, just as Lawrence prepares to retire after 40 years as pastor. A deeply thoughtful and eloquent homilist, he will no longer have to pray and preach at midnight, close the church, sleep, then rise for Sunday Masses. The ritual lasted long after its original purpose became a thing of memory — and well into the digital age — solely because of the priest's devotion to his church and its history.

So I ordered a Virgin SIM off eBay.
To my surprise, it arrived in barely 10 days. (I have ordered Gevey 3G, which arrived today as well and I had ordered Gevey 3G about 17 days back).
My question is, One is marked black, one is marked Red.
Black = Normal Speed?
Red = High Speed?
I had received my replacement for an i-Smartphone 3G, which was a Q-SIM from iSmartphone2008.com Which worked for 4 hours, and it says no sim now. Tried in different locations in different towers.
Gevey 3G also says No SIM, Im guessing my SIM has been blocked by the carrier? Does this have anything to do with the fact that it stopped working with the Q-SIM
I plugged in the Virgin SIM Normal speed, and it worked immediately.
I don't have 3G to test in India, but Data works flawlessly, and so does Calls/SMS incoming and outgoing.
Ill be doing a small review on SIM Unlocks soon after I have tested Virgin SIM fully!

Construction jobs or construction savings?by Opinion Staff
When Palm Beach County spends $200 million on a construction project during a prolonged economic slump, residents have every right to expect their local tax dollars will at least assure jobs for local workers in the hard-hit construction industry.
But that's not what happened with the county Solid Waste Authority's $200 million construction project on Jog Road near 45th Street. Contractor BK&E, a subsidiary of industry giant Brown and Root, said about half of its 300 workers are from out of state and two-thirds are not county residents.
BK&E has refused overtures from local trades unions, who have offered to take a wage cut to work on the job. We don't like the fact the company is brining in outside labor instead of hiring locally. One excuse could be the high cost of local unions, despite the offer of discounts. What local workers call union-busting could be a money-saver for taxpayers. Meanwhile, hundreds of local workers remain without a job.
