Harboring a small-town feel and luscious greenery, Staten Island provides students ample, affordable living spaces, gorgeous beaches and waterfront views, and a burgeoning local arts and alternative music scene - all within a free ferry ride of Manhattan's vast spectrum of opportunities.
Increased migration amongst young people, coupled with the exciting new development of parks and entertainment venues, is making Staten Island the City's newest underground darling.
Keep reading to explore the changing landscape of the City's fastest growing borough!
[back to top]
Nearly 18,000 students attend three undergraduate programs located in Staten Island, while just over 120 students attend the Staten Island School of Nursing. Harboring some of the largest, most bucolic campuses in the City, Staten Island's schools offer top-notch liberal arts educations and copious athletic fields and facilities. Nestled alongside Willowbrook Park, CUNY's College of Staten Island lies at the heart of Staten Island on a beautifully-manicured 204-acre campus, while St. Johns University and Wagner College are located to the north in the Grymes Hill neighborhood - the latter situated high upon a hilltop.
Check out a complete list of Staten Island's colleges and universities.
Staten Island neighborhoods range from charming "small town" communities to working-class, historic neighborhoods, to dormant districts ripe with redevelopment potential.
Although still below Citywide totals, the North Shore is the borough's densest and most racially diverse district. Here, new development has increased by roughly 75% in recent years - mainly in urban St. George, home to the Staten Island Ferry and the minor league Staten Island Yankees ballpark. Priced out of their Manhattan studios, an increasing number of artists and musicians are colonizing St. George, promoting the rise of a lively, local indie scene and attracting cafes and galleries to the area. To the west, Stapleton, one of the Island's oldest communities, is slated to undergo its own renaissance following the completion of the new Stapleton Waterfront District.
Much less dense, the rest of the Island contains beautiful parks, beaches, and wetlands, as well as athletic fields and retail complexes featuring national retailers like Target.
Access to Staten Island from the rest of the City exists via the Staten Island Ferry departing out of Lower Manhattan and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge coming out of Brooklyn. The borough also connects to New Jersey via three bridges.
The Staten Island Ferry offers free, 24-hour service between Staten Island's St. George's Ferry Terminal and the Whitehall Ferry Terminal in Lower Manhattan. Both terminals recently underwent extensive renovations and efforts to turn these terminals into well-stocked retail and dining destinations. The twenty-five minute ride on the Staten Island Ferry offers unparalleled views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, New Jersey's waterfront, and Lower Manhattan's impressive skyline.
The Staten Island Railroad runs 24 hours a day between the Island's southern-most neighborhood of Tottenville all the way up to the St. George station, where passengers can connect to the Ferry.
To see the largest selection of Tibetan art outside of Tibet, check out the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art located adjacent to La Tourette Park and Golf Course, on the Staten Island Greenbelt. Spanning 2,225 acres, the SI Greenbelt features 28 miles of hiking trails, numerous athletic fields and facilities, and sledding and ski hills. In warmer weather, head over to the East Shore to swim at Midland Beach, catch a summer concert, fish, and walk along the 2.5 mile South Beach Boardwalk, which features a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean and New York Bay.
For a unique history lesson, visit Historic Richmond Town, New York City's only living history museum, or the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, featuring the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, the Staten Island Museum, the Staten Island Botanical Garden, and Art Lab, an institute offering classes in fine and applied arts, along with exhibition space for artists.
There are several development projects and land use studies underway aiming to invigorate Staten Island's lapsed commercial corridors and under-utilized waterfront. New development plans for Staten Island will substantially increase housing and park space, while respecting Staten Island's more suburban context and scale.
The New Stapleton Waterfront District is an exciting project underway on SI's North Shore, promising to create a public esplanade, parkland, and retail opportunities along the waterfront.
At the heart of Staten Island, Fresh Kills, the site of a former landfill, is presently undergoing an ambitious, innovative conversion into the City's largest public park.

Newbie with a question
I have a 00' single cab 2wd silverado...i ordered this leveling kit :
They are basically spacers that go above the springs from my understanding...But my question is what about the rear? Won't it look goofy?...I initially ordered them thinking i could adjust torsion bars on the rear only to find that only the 4wd systems run torsion bars. So, if i do want to level out the rear, what do i use?...I can't find a shackle lift or anything for the rear end for any 99 - 02 2wd silverados! If anybody has any insight i would be greatly appreciative!...
Step rails
Bed rails
Front grill
Front grill guard (looks a little off without the lift!)
L.E.D. taillights ( i highly suggest these to anybody) they look cool!
06-19-2009, 10:59 AM #2welcome to the site, the point of a leveling kit is to bring the front end so that is sits the same hight as the rear end, and no i dont think it would look goofy

i like the truck though..have you done anything to it?
06-19-2009, 01:19 PM #8mine? no i haven't suspension wise, i have tires that are bigger then the stock ones
06-21-2009, 07:45 PM #9the leveling kits on 2wd are pretty easy to do as they are just spacers that go above the coils. Go to Auto Zone and rent a coil spring compressor. Jack the truck up and take the front wheels off. take out the springs using the compressor. Put in spacers and reinstall the coils. be careful with the compressors tho because there is a lot of force behind those coils when they are compressed.
As for lifting the rear you can get a set of 2" blocks that go under the leaf springs at auto zone for 30 bucks and i think you can use your stock U-bolts. if not they are relatively cheap anywayPETE

Smartwool Women's Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf Socks
Ideal for a climb of Mount Rainier, or that trip-of-a-lifetime trek in the Himalayas, the SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf sock bathes your feet in high altitude comfort. The unique SmartWool fibers have the ability to keep feet warm and dry when the temperature drops and perspiration free when the temperature rises. This is due to the fiber's fast moisture moving characteristics, transporting water before it condenses while still in the vapor stage. The SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf sock not only cushions the bottom of the foot, but the top of the foot too. This aids in protecting the foot from pressure caused by stiff boot uppers, crampon straps, and impact from kicking steps up long couloirs. Another feature of great value is the arch and ankle bracing - areas of increased spandex content to comfortably hug the foot and eliminate sock movement and bunching. After all, the last thing you want to worry about is an annoying wrinkle in your socks buried within your boots, crampons, and gaiters.
- Fabric content: 80% wool, 19% nylon, 1% spandex
- Full cushioning surrounds foot
- 2 x 1 rib knit cuff provides excellent horizontal stretch
- Arch and ankle brace knit with spandex
- Flat-knit toe seam and side panel
- Mid-calf height
Purchase the Smartwool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf Socks for Women from Altrec.com. All order totals over $45 qualify for free ground shipping.
Great socks
I walk my dog year round in every kind of weather. It has been hard to find thick and warm socks for the mid-west winters but these are the best I have come across. Super thick and comfy! I will be buying more!

Smartwool Rocks my Socks!
I am a cold-natured person that recently moved to N.E United States. These socks are amazing!! I wear them everywhere, super comfy. They keep your toes nice and warm. Can't wait to use them when it actually gets cold!

Not completely sold
Bought these for ice climbing as well as a winter ascent on Mt Washington. They are indeed thick and so cushion really well. I had new shoes and new socks and not once did I feel chafing or bunching. So no blisters at all - which is a huge plus. On the minus side -- my feet were cold way too much while wearing these. I originally bought two pairs but am sending the second pair back and will try a different brand.

I think my crush likes my best friend? Help?
I'm sorry in advance for my bad english! So yesterday my best friend was talking to a guy she kinda likes. That guy told her that my crush has a crush on her. But there's no evidence that he may like her, (well I don't know if this counts but my crush asked her for money a few times) and no one else said something like this before. My best friend was obsessed with my crush like, one or two years ago but he used her for her money and then broke her heart. But I'm scared that she may start liking him again because he's very cute and she said that him liking her would be awesome... even if she told me that she'd reject him. By the way, my crush knows I likes him. What do I do now? :'(

Two Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Dept. officers helped rescue a fawn that had run into a fence on Tuesday morning.
The officers responded to a call of an injured animal at the Magnolia Memorial Gardens cemetery at 5530 Silk Hope Rd., and the caretaker told them that a fawn had run into the fence there, according to police.
The officers took the deer that was lying on the ground to the Animal Hospital at Rice Hope on GA Highway 21 in Port Wentworth. Officer John Steed, who just graduated from the SCMPD Patrol School on Oct. 17, was one of the officers who helped the animal
Veterinarians gave the fawn an IV and are holding it for overnight observation.
"This incident shows me the human side of the work that we do. This was a young deer and we wanted to give it a chance to grow up. We were able to help, so we did," Steed said in a statement.

Lehigh Floats Idea of Starting New Local Carrier
A committee of the airport's board reconsidered the viability of Lehigh Valley Air, which flew briefly in 2005, as a way of boosting air service at LVIA.
Lehigh Valley International Airport discussed on Wednesday relaunching a local airline as a way to boost sagging air traffic.
A committee of the airport's board reconsidered the viability of Lehigh Valley Air, which flew briefly in 2005, at the request of one board member, Randy Uhler, who said boosting air service at LVIA is an urgent issue. The committee took no action Wednesday.
The airport originally pursued the venture so that LVIA would have more control over the flights it could offer. LVIA launched Lehigh Valley Air with flights to St. Petersburg and Fort Lauderdale after the collapse of a discount carrier left the airport without service to the two Florida cities.
The airport's management hoped the venture would serve as a catalyst to win service from other carriers. After two months, Hooters Air took over the routes, and flew them until last year, when the airline ceased operating. One route is now handled by Allegiant Air.
The airport's top official, George Doughty, said relaunching local air service is worth studying. But he said LVIA would need more than $1 million to restart the service, and probably would sustain losses in the first six months to a year of operation.
The airport would probably have to charge higher ticket prices than larger airlines, said Doughty, who prepared a financial analysis of the airline's relaunch.
"I just wanted to let you know the complexities of this, and that it's anything but a slam dunk," Doughty said. "This is sort of a reality check. It doesn't mean we can't do it."
Uhler, who was appointed to the board of the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority this year, was undeterred.
"People are getting impatient, as I am, as to where this airport is going," Uhler said.
LVIA must take aggressive steps to increase flights, Uhler said. The airport's traffic fell 5 percent last year to 788,511, its lowest passenger volume in more than 10 years. It was the second consecutive year of falling traffic. Uhler said the airport should pursue Lehigh Valley Air despite the high costs.
"I don't like facts and figures," Uhler said in an interview after the meeting, in reference to the financial analysis. "I go with my gut feeling. My intuition is, if we persevere long enough, it will work."
Uhler's comments about the airport's performance echoed concerns expressed recently by both county executives. Last week, Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham sent a letter to members of the volunteer airport board to communicate his interest in becoming more engaged in how airport decisions are made.
In an interview, Cunningham said it's possible a large part of the problem is the declining traffic that's affecting all small airports. But he said he wants to learn more about current operations to see if it's time to take a different tack.
He and Northampton County Executive John Stoffa have appointed new members to the 19-person board in the hopes that turnover will bring new perspectives and approaches to running the airport.
"I share the concerns a lot of other people have about the airport," Stoffa said in an interview this month. "I think a lot of people would like to see it do better."
Neither county gives operating money to the airport. The airport board decided in the late 1990s that it wanted LVIA to become financially self-sufficient. Some longtime members of the board are against asking the counties for money.
The airport derives its operating budget from Federal Aviation Administration grants, terminal rents, fuel sales and services such as parking.
While the airport is run by the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, the two counties have paid little attention to the airport's operations until recently.
"Historically, county executives have made appointments to the board, and then pretty much forgot about it," Cunningham said.

"Does it not seem a vast waste of valuable human material that the pioneers of thought, those who by their genius dare to clear unknown paths in the arts and sciences and in government, should have to conform to the dictates of that non-creative, slow-moving mass, the majority? An appeal to the majority is a resort to force and not an appeal to intelligence; the majority is always ignorant, and by increasing the majority we multiply ignorance. The majority is incapable of initiative, its attitude being one of opposition toward everything that is new. If it had been left to the majority, the world would never have had the steamboat, the railroad, the telegraph, or any of the conveniences of modern life." ~ Charles Sprading

"When radical ideas emerge potential revolutionaries always face the agonizing decision: should one compromise the utopian vision in the hopes of more realistic change or should one remain consistent to one's principles until the singularity of revolution is brought to fruition? This binary struggle is not exclusive to any one particular ideology or movement. It is the classic dualistic struggle of radical versus moderate; idealism versus pragmatism. Radical movements also face the possibility of having their ideas partially and disarmingly absorbed into mainstream avenues of power. Libertarians are certainly grappling with this today. Their efforts are split into the two mostly mutually exclusive directions of electoral and apolitical means. To ensure that libertarianism as a movement does not repeat the mistakes of their predecessors, libertarians need to heed this examination of radical politicking which will be teased out through the illustrative example of the socialist movement during the Progressive Era and the preceding Populist movement."

Growler fill at the Brewpub. For $26/fill, this better be damn good. Poured into Vault Brewing 16 oz snifter.
Appearance: Deep amber and clear. 2 fingers off-white head with good retention and lacing. Good-lookin' brew
Smell: Floral, grassy hops, with some grapefruit and citrus notes. Slight bit of malt and honey on the nose. Not overwhelming aromatic but it's nice.
Taste: Modest amount of hops in the taste, but a lot of bittering hops that stick on the palate for a while after the swallow. Not very bready or malty.
Feel: Quite smooth throughout, exceptionally dry on the finish.
Overall: This is a solid beer that I could enjoy several times in a sitting. However, there are better offerings out there for the double pale ale style (see Half Acre's Double Daisy Cutter) and at the ridiculous price of $26/growler (and $9/22 oz bottle), I likely won't be coming back to it often.
Serving type: growler

Has a neat fresh rolled copper sheen to the pour. Off-white dense head.
Subtle nuances of flora and fruit medley. Hoppy and lite pine tar. Nothing really screaming out-I'm here!
Deep rustic dry hop and pine resins. Just enough malt sweetness to support as such. Leans more bitter than sweet.
Creamy, smooth, clean and cuuurushable!
Great hop lineup of Centennial, Chinook, Cascade and Amarillo. Getting nice little whack off of one bottle. When can we expect this in 4/6 pack can/bottle format? Really!! This is one freak'in great concoction!

Pours a deep gold, clear, with an off-white fine head that dissipates slowly.
Smells of light biscuit malts and fresh citrusy hops. Some caramel.
Caramel and citrus hops over biscuit malts with some light honey and lemon elements.
Medium to full body with tingly carbonation throughout.
A very nice hoppy pale ale, good flavor and aroma as well as a nice body. Very enjoyable and worth having.

The fact Utah basketball will renew its long-standing series with Utah State starting in 2014 was generally well received. However, Larry Krystkowiak, who played at Montana when Utah State coach Stew Morrill was a Grizzlies assistant, said this week that it wasn't his idea and that he was unsure about the arrangement.
"I'd rather not play Utah State at any time if I had my druthers," Krystkowiak said. "I think it's good for our state. We'll give it a shot for a couple years and reevaluate. It's something that's been done for a lot of years and I've got a relationship with Stew. I wasn't opposed. I was asked if I was willing to do it and I said, 'Yeah,' so we're going to go from there."
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
Krystkowiak pointed to Kansas, a major-conference program that typically does not play Wichita State, a successful, in-state mid-major. The Utah coach's objection to playing Utah State seemed to be framed as a risk-reward issue.
It's worth pointing out that USC will play at Utah State in 2013, but that is part of an arrangement that will send the USU football team to USC in 2013 and 2014.

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on April 1, 2010.

we wanted to see how ready he was," Julien said. "I thought he did a great job, he certainly gave us a chance when he was in net."
Despite all the hub-bub of coming in during the middle of the game, Turco said he felt good on the ice.
Though he did admit that it was a bit of an adjustment from the Olympic-sized sheets he was playing on while he was in Austria.
"Every minute I felt a little bit better, a little bit more comfortable," he said. "It's all a little different, a change of scenery. Just becoming a little bit more accustomed to it is the goal, making saves will probably help with the mental game. "
Perhaps the highlight of Turco's night came with the save he made on Jordan Staal in the second period.
Stall broke loose along the boards and snapped a shot at Turco, who made an astounding acrobatic back-rollsave to keep the puck out of the net. A save of such of the likes to leave no doubt our goalie had his head in the game, along with the rest of his body.
Turco said that saves like that are easily lost in the heat of a game, but will help cement his confidence with the team over time.
But for Bruins captain Zdeno Chara and the rest of the team, a save like that was pivotal for the whole team's drive and vitality.
"Any time a goalie makes a great save, it gives energy to a team and it kept us in the game," Chara said.
"I thought he was really good, he made some really big saves for us. He's such an experienced goalie, and you could see he handles the puck really well, making nice plays and helping on breakouts."
Turco finished out the game and made 20 saves, and allowed two more goals as the Penguins beat the Bruins 5-2 at the Consol Energy Center.

Comoros: beyond belief
October 25, 2012
I thought this one might defeat me. As far as I could see, there was not – nor had there ever been – a single novel, short story collection or memoir published in English translation by a writer from the Comoro Islands. No matter who I asked or how charmingly I smiled at the Google homepage, the answer was always the same: nada. It seemed I had come to the end of the road.
In despair, I mentioned the dilemma to my colleague – the same colleague who came up trumps with the Niger book. A few weeks later he was back with, in his words, 'possible gold'. He'd found a CV online of Anis Memon, a lecturer in French and Italian at the University of Vermont. It stated that in 2005 he'd done a translation of Le Kafir du Karthala by Mohamed Toihiri, the Comoros' permanent representative to the United Nations and, according to Simon Gikandi's Encyclopedia of African Literature, the country's first published novelist. Perhaps if I contacted Memon, he might be able to dig out the manuscript for me?
I fired off an email and received a modest response from Memon. He said he couldn't vouch for the quality of the translation as it was a personal project he'd undertaken when Mohamed Toihiri was a visiting lecturer one year at Memon's grad school. The two had spent quite a bit of time together and as a result Memon had decided it would be good practice for him to try and translate one of the writer's novels. Still, if I wanted to look at the manuscript, he'd see if he could find it for me.
A nail-biting wait ensued. The way I saw it, Memon's translation was probably my one chance of reading a Comorian novel in English. I just hoped he was better at backing up and archiving his files than I was.
Luckily, that turned out to be the case and when I next checked my emails while on holiday in Spain, the file was waiting for me. The Kaffir of Karthala was mine to read.
Beginning on the day Dr Idi Wa Mazamba discovers he has terminal cancer, the novel tells the story of one man's struggle to free himself from the conventions, patterns and prejudices that have dogged his life. Liberated by the knowledge that his days are numbered, married Mazamba embarks on an affair with a French woman, Aubéri, and comes to look at the world around him with new eyes. Yet this fresh vision brings with it a heightened awareness of the racism, corruption and contradictions that riddle society. Appalled by the hypocrisy he encounters, Dr Mazamba hatches a plan to challenge the status quo while he still can.
Toihiri is a clear-eyed writer, who excels at presenting complex situations in concise, memorable ways. Whether he is describing the inequality of living conditions in Chitsangani – 'a neighbourhood where the Middle Ages and the Third Millennium went hand in hand' and where 'here one slept on a mat of fleas, there one got ill from hyper-cleanliness' – or the double standards that see foreign nationals and the 'generous partner' donors who pull the political strings behind the scenes receiving top treatment while patients in Mazamba's hospital can not afford drugs, Toihiri's descriptions are precise and fearless.
Often, they are very funny too. Ranging from witty anecdotes to satirical attacks, such as the summary of the political career of Marshal Kabaya – 'at first Minister of Sand in Your Eyes, he was then promoted, following a shuffling of the cabinet, and became the Minister of State in Charge of the Occult Sciences' – they puncture pomposity and pretence wherever Toihiri sees it. Meanwhile, the writer balances these descriptions with a wry affection for some of the customs on the archipelago that keeps the narrative from becoming overly bitter, as when Mazamba explains the rivalry between the islands to Aubéri:
'In Ngazija and Mmwali they say that the Anjouanese are poisoners, that they're skinflints, morbidly jealous, that you mustn't even look at their women otherwise they'll arrange to have you thrown off a bridge; we actually say a lot of nonsense about each other.'
Perhaps the most fascinating passages of the book for readers unfamiliar with Comorian culture, like me, are those surrounding marriage traditions in Mazamba's home village. There, the concept of the 'great wedding', a huge celebration which each man is expected to save for and go through once in his life, regardless of whether he is already married to another woman or not, holds sway. And when Issa, Mazamba's best friend, allows himself to be flattered into going through a great wedding with a canny teenager, the folly of the institution is laid bare.
Occasionally, Toihiri's desire to encapsulate contradictions and struggles in punchy imagery runs away with the narrative. Muslim Mazamba and Jewish Aubéri's first physical encounter, for example takes place in a church during a trip they both conveniently have to take to apartheid-riven South Africa. Reading the descriptions of Mazamba breaking his Ramadan fast with Aubéri's bodily fluids under the shadow of a crucifix, I couldn't help feeling the author was labouring the point. In addition, the final stages of the plot, during which Mazamba is unexpectedly manoeuvred into a position of influence that enables him to take radical action, rely too much on coincidence and luck to be entirely credible.
But then I'm writing this having just read a translation that until a couple of months ago existed only on the hard drive of an academic I've never met more than 3,000 miles away. Hmmn. Perhaps anything is possible after all…
The Kaffir of Karthala (Le Kafir du Karthala) by Mohamed Toihiri, translated from the French by Anis Memon

My goodness – that was a lucky find
I am concerned for the health of your bookshelf though; there's a definite bow to it in this latest picture…

Thanks. I know. We were going to put a bracket under it, but Steve reckons leaving it will add another element of danger to the whole quest. Who knows if it will last out the year?
bottledworder saidOctober 25, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Fascinating. (1) This particular find. (2)Your world tour in search of books. (3) Your adventures finding them. Your style is gripping and the idea of the tour is very original (at least to me!)
James Elkins saidOctober 25, 2012 at 4:35 pm
I'm sure I'm coming late to this, and I hesitated even writing, but you're ubiquitous in my news feed! So please feel free to ignore this: but I wonder how you think about the difference between reading to find out about the world and reading fiction. Why not, in the simplest terms, read nonfiction? And if you're not distinguishing (John D'Agata style), then how, rather than why, do you attend to properties of writing as fiction?
londonchoirgirl saidOctober 25, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Well, I'm very glad you did write. I think for me 'finding out about the world' is a sort of by-product rather than an end for this project. I'm very conscious that as I'm only reading one book from every country I am in no position to draw conclusions about national identities, trends, psyches or anything like that. Occasionally a book will throw up insights into particular customs or local habits, such as the 'great marriage' above, and that's fascinating but not really what's driving me.
For me, it's more about seeing if it's possible to access voices from all over the world as an English-language reader and to explore what those voices are saying. When I first thought of doing the project, I thought I would stick to fiction (I talk more about this here http://ayearofreadingtheworld.com/2011/12/22/what-counts-as-a-story/), but the dividing line between fiction and non-fiction gets blurrier the more you look at it. Every narrative, whether it's a fairy story or the account of the founding of a nation will contain some aspects of creativity and very often things that others may regard as 'not true'. I was also conscious that prose fiction may not be a form that storytellers in some parts of the world feel particularly at home with. So I decided to throw the net wider and consider stories in the widest sense, leaving the door open for memoirs and biographies as well as fiction works.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks very much for your comment.
James Elkins saidOctober 25, 2012 at 7:49 pm
I see. Well, for me, that would raise the question of what a "voice" is. If it's a written voice (as in authorial voice) then writing, in a general sense, is what's at issue. And if that's the case, then regardless of how fiction or nonfiction are understood, it's a matter of thinking about whether writing is a good way to understand the world. An enormous, unsolved problem. I also try to read internationally, but I try hard not to learn anything. Voice matters differently for me, I suppose.

I found your blog 30mn ago (thank you Twitter :p). What a great project you have! It's very interesting. I would never have thought it could be possible to find a novel from Comoros in English. And yet, you did it. Is it possible to get a link to Anis Memon's translation? I would love to read it.

Thanks Mayda. Glad you like it, I'll check with Anis and see if he'd be happy for it to be available online. Thanks for stopping by.

cjaccetta Posts: 236$14,500 for base Elantra GT with automatic transmission. Purchased June 15, 2001 in Little Falls, NJ. Sticker was $15,394. TMV shown as $14,300 at the time of purchase.
Called four Hyundai dealers in three counties before we found the GT we wanted. Yeah,...I might've paid a couple hundred too much but I still got a fair deal considering the lack of availability. Went to the dealer and drove out 2.5 hours later in the car. Smooth buy.
Love the car, too! -
elantragtguy Posts: 10I'm sure most of you have seen my posts for the price I've paid, but here it is again:
Orlando, FL Market
Elantra GT
Color - Pewter (Silver)
Moonroof/no ABS
$15,000 = Includes all dealer/destination fees. Does not include taxes.
Great car. Do yourself a favor and go buy one, that is if you can find one. As cjacceta stated above, it's a little hard to find what you want. It took us three weeks of looking before I found the package that we wanted.
Good Luck! -
ebekins Posts: 21Just to keep this ball rolling, I'll put here what I paid. I don't know if it's a good or bad deal, but you all can then compare with what you got.
2001 Elantra GLS
Package 3
bought in National City, CA (near San Diego) [Frank Hyundai]
Price: $13,916
less $500 rebate, so call it $13,416. I did no negotiations. I went in having made my first contact through my CostCo membership, and I got that price. Maybe I could have done better through negotiating, but at the time that price was right on Edmunds TMV, and the salesman was a nice guy to deal with, so I went with it. The F&I guy did try to sell us on some additional stuff, but it wasn't real high pressure, and we got what we were happy with. -
rbeaudin Posts: 14Yes, perhaps I could have done better if I had been willing to take a model off the lot, but since I wanted a particular package/color (5/champagne/mud guards), and it had to be located, I was somewhat thwarted in my plan to use the "you're never gonna get rid of that thing, especially with the IIHS report!" line. I got the car yesterday, and it looks great...very happy, good value; at least I came in under invoice, according to Edmunds info.
dbrowdy Posts: 5I just bought one yesterday. 2001 Elantra GLS, 4 door, automatic, package 2, mudguards, carpets, net, silver (couldn't find grey OR black ).
In Portland, OR at Thomason Hyundai through their internet department they give some good deals. I paid $12,188 (after rebate). That's about $1000 under invoice. I had a great experience there and definately would recommend them (assuming you go thru the internet dept!) to anyone.
billrubin Posts: 10Just bought a GT tonight. Automatic transmission, Package 7 (Moon roof plus ABS and traction control), overpriced carpet mats (although they are nicely padded), California emissions (now also required in New York). Sticker price was $16,700 or so, I paid $15,300 (plus tax). The salesman started the negotiations at $1000 above sticker because the GT with ABS (package 7) is almost impossible to find and he said his manager makes him do that. Fortunately, I had printed out the Edmunds page and when he asked what it would take to get me to buy the car tonight I pointed to the invoice number, actually I added $69 for the mats which I did not have on my printout to round it up which was a little high but I wasn't going to begrudge him an extra $10 :-). Much to my surprise, they took the offer. I think it had a lot to do with my being there the next to the last day of the month and telling them I'd pay and pick it up tomorrow so it would be closed in July. Apparently the salesman's salary is based more on number of cars sold than the price he sold them for. He was bitching and moaning about them letting a hot car get away for nothing, but I tried not to shed a tear. Interestingly, they showed me their invoice price on their system (the guy who had the sheet was not in) and it claimed the price they paid was $15,700. I am not quite sure how this can be different than the Edmunds price by so much, can someone explain?
He originally thought there might be a rebate but I told him no. Maybe I should have let him think that there was! I assume someone would have corrected it if he had written it up as having one.
I ended up getting it in Cardinal Red. I really wanted Cobalt Blue but no one has seen one in these parts. The GT with package 7 is almost impossible to find so I decided to take it since the deal seemed rather good :-). He said if I came back next week, I would not have gotten nearly as good a deal.
Oh, I am in Westchester County, NY.
Bill -
claudiner29 Posts: 3billrubin....WOW. Sounds to me like you got a great deal on your GT. Good job!!!
I bought the same GT as you except in Pewter--Auto Transmission, Package 7 (ABS, TCS, and Moonroof), CA Emissions, and Carpet Floor Mats. I bought mine in mid-June and paid $15,830 + title, tax, & license.
The dealer's sticker was $17,441 because they had added their "desert paint protection" and tinted windows. I SWORE to myself that I would not buy from a dealer that tried to pull those antics, but it was THE only Pewter Automatic GT w/ ABS in the Phoenix area. I told them straight out I had no intention on paying for these add ons. The first offer they gave me was for $16,847. I literally laughed in the salesman's face and told them that he was now at MSRP where the other dealers started.
The sales manager then comes in with the invoice and asks me to pay invoice ($15,700) + 2% + $130 for the tinted windows (they were asking $199). I still wouldn't do it. I finally agreed to pay invoice + $130 for the tinted windows.
I wasn't thrilled, but the finance guy at the dealership doing my back-up contract seemed VERY impressed with my negotiating skills. He told me several times that I did a great job and then looked in his file and said the dealership only made $80 on my deal (which tells me the cost of the tinted windows is really $50--I don't know where else they could make any additional money).
Anyway...that's what I paid thanks to all the research I'd done on edmunds.com, including reading these message boards religiously. I truly think this is a great site. Thanks everyone. -

Comments about DC Comics: The Number Ones Limited Edition Comic Cover Portfolio Set:
If I was sent the product, I could review it, but it was never shipped out and no one from DC notified me, and trying to get a hold of customer service is a joke. You close the department early with no regards for your west coast customers and no one goes through the email portion so it fills up and can not be utilized. .

not in stock, but still listed?
By vro
from San Jose Ca
Ordered the part, but not in stock and warehouse marked the shipping invoice with the word credit and did not notify anyone so they could notify the customer ahead of time that their order would be missing the greater valued item so that the customer knew that DC credited has credit card so he does not have to chase people down to get back his money.

I find that this site is providing me with a new aspect on my Catholic religion. I enjoy all the site has to offer and I am happy with my C.M. site experience. This site is offering me more than I ever expected when I joined a month ago.

Friends in my locality would be ideal. When you work as much as I do you need another outlet.
I love my children and grandchildren, but I need to have friends of my own generation.

What to avoid doing or saying based on the temperament of the spouse. Each spouse is different, and to have a strong relationship, it is best to learn how our personality types match and what the potential areas of conflict are.
