I worked at Amazon.com full-time (more than an year)
Projects are interesting. You can get technical challenge with fellow software engineers. There're lots of smart people, here.
Work environment is not great. In the beginning, A shared desk was assigned to me without cube. A small war-room kind of office with 7 software engineers and there's no privacy while others kept complaining about smell of my coffee. I've never been in this kind of atmosphere. It might only be my team but quite discouraged to be creative.
The benefit was even worse. In normal company, HMO is the cheapest plan but Amazon offers the most expensive HMO option and there's wierd plan of health fund. Health fund is okay for who doesn't go to see doctor more than 7 times per year but totally out of sense when you had family. Premium was already high but out of pocket cost for hospital is another story. 401k matching is very low and the company tries to get employee's patent idea for free while my previous company always paid for it. Parking reimbursement wasn't enough to drive your car to downtown. There's no ESPP. And so on..
There's no formal training except new hire orientation which took only half day. No education support. It seems like this company only want to use your knowledge and has no interest to develop it.
On call duty is also painful. You need to carry the pager and it might beep in the midnight and must respond it within 15 min or it'll be escalated to your manager, director, vp, ...
You need to care your employees as human being.

The main global forum for climate change negotiations is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Australia is working constructively in the UNFCCC towards a legally-binding global climate outcome that is effective, fair and efficient. This agreement is to include mitigation commitments for all major emitters and is to be finalised by 2015 and commence from 2020.
Australia takes an active role in the negotiations to advance and protect our national interests. Australia is the chair of the Umbrella Group, a loose coalition of non-EU developed countries. Australia is also an active participant in the Cartagena Dialogue, a forum of developed and developing countries working to advance a progressive agenda on climate change issues. Both the Umbrella Group and the Cartagena Dialogue are helping drive international climate change action.
To find out more
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations have made strong progress in recent years towards a legally-binding global climate outcome that is effective, fair and efficient.
Australia regularly makes submissions to the UNFCCC. These submissions outline the government's views on issues that are important to international climate change negotiations.

I get to spend new years with this lovely lady. Best Friends since the day I moved here.
Like i just found this in a google search that had nothing to do with Pat Brown. This shirt makes me feel really uncomterbul and weirded out. People are creepy.
We don't REALLY know that much about eachother yet i feel like we know a lot. I don't understand why im all of a suddon so intrigued by you? Is this "hard to get" game you are clearly playing working? Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? I wish i just had enough balls to go and tell you exactly how i feel.
Don't Believe A Word Their Telling To You
You never know how important people are until you have to say goodbye. Even though I'll see you in a few weeks, it feels as if i'm never going to see you again.
why must your weather suck? I enjoy every season but winter because you make my life so difficult. I had to spend the night at school because you decided we needed more snow. I go all around Minneapolis looking for towels and a place to shower. I brave through the snow and sleep on a couch freezing the whole night. Then when i wake up at 5:30am i take the time to get ready and it's fucking snowing/raining/sucking outside. Not only did i need to WALK outside for a long time, i had to move my car which was impossible because of all the snow. Now, i look gross and feel like shit.
Thanks >:L
I love my school to death, don't get me wrong. But everyones true colors are quickly showing. I'm starting to see the bad side of the music industry. That's okay because i knew it was going to happen. The amount of people i need i can count on one hand. There are 2 people who i need the most. As long as i have them i'm okay.
I told you about a boy, who clearly was not you
i wanted to see your reaction, to see what you would do
you looked at me sadly and said "do you like him?"
i responded " i don't know." Secrety shouting "But i like you!"
For a moment i felt something, was it that spark ive been waiting for?
But since we both sat there in silence, the secrets fell deep into my core.
Since when is next weekend christmas?!?!
Early Saturday morning i was in my first car accident ever. I was driving home from Minneapolis durring one of the worst snow storms in Minnesota history. I was halfway home with no problems at all, driving like a champ. What happened next was something i never thought i would deal with. I've been driving for 2 years, never an accient, never a ticket, never pulled over. When i opened my eyes i was faced in the other direction with a pounding headace. The man driving the huge SUV behinde me had rear ended my little toyota, smashing the drivers side. With that impact he spun my car around and hit me along the dirvers side and in the front. I rolled down the window to ask if everyone was okay and saw a party going on inside the car and a cop car pulling up behind us. I pulled over to the side of the road, got out of my car and bursted into tears. This man, this man who was driving too close to me and too fast durring the snow storm had trashed my car.
I asked the cop if my car was driveable because all i wanted to do was go home. It indeed was and i was able to make it home in one piece. The event landed me in the ER with some minor neck injuries. To say the least, my seatbelt along with my metal only made car saved my life.
What irritates me the most about this whole situation is that the man who hit me never once asked if i was okay. After getting out of his car he came over to me, looked at my damages, mumbled a few words to himself and left. Nothing. What people don't realize is that being behind the wheel of a car is a big thing. I may sound like an old lady but it's true. Driving can kill someone, and this man could have killed me. Even by hitting my car, he had the power to take my college away from me. I love my school more than anything and my car is how i am able to get there everyday. He had that power that i could not control and almost took it all from me. Because of this, i will fight. I will fight hard legaly for what is right. I'm not going to try and scam this guy for everything he has, but take back what he stole from me.
So for the next few days i will be hyped up on meds, sleeping and resting. I'm not one who likes to lay around and do nothing so this is quite difficult for me. But i refuse to miss anything.
Just believe me, if you don't do the right thing, you deal with me. I'ma bigger bitch than karma could ever be.
always forget i've got myself a tumblr. Sorry Kids :/

Flo Rida - Right, Round
Artist: Flo Rida
Producer: Mr. Luke
Album: R.O.O.T.S.
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 85 votes )
Fans of '80s pop are likely to burst out laughing upon hearing the hook to Flo Rida's latest single – Right, Round takes its inspiration from Dead or Alive's 1984 hit, You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), changing the lyrics to describe the rapper's reaction to a pole-dancing performance. Flo describes the head-spinningly beautiful stripper who has him throwing his money around (to the tune of several grand). The emcee may be dismayed at the lightness of his bankroll in the morning, but this energetic cut is catchy enough to convince listeners that it was all worth it. Mr. Luke goes all-out on the production tip, packing his propulsive beat with a dizzying array of synths, and the result is a record that's sure to get its share of spins in clubs nationwide. If Right, Round is any indication, Flo Rida's forthcoming sophomore LP, R.O.O.T.S. (Routes of Overcoming the Struggle) will offer fans ample opportunity to get out on the dancefloor when it hits stores in April.

Economic recovery from the Great Recession has been slow and painful and for many states, revenues are only now getting back to pre-recession levels. While the recession took states on a fiscal roller coaster ride, it also helped reveal the importance of planning for hard times long before they arrive and having a strategy in place to manage volatility. A new series of reports by The Pew Charitable Trusts aims to provide state policymakers with a roadmap to help manage fiscal ups and downs and uncertainty. The first report in the series, "Managing Uncertainty," looks at volatility across the 50 states, noting that the drivers of economic and revenue volatility vary widely.
Governors are releasing their budget proposals for fiscal year 2015, which for most states will begin on July 1, 2014. Seventeen states previously enacted two-year budgets covering both fiscal years 2014 and 2015. The National Association of State Budget Officers has compiled a comprehensive list of links to proposed and previously enacted budgets for states and territories - check it out here: National Association of State Budget Officers.
Jennifer Burnett, CSG Program Manager, Fiscal and Economic Development Policy, outlines the top five issues for 2014 related to fiscal and economic development policy, including pervasive federal instability, a sluggish recovery, soaring health care costs, a stagnant labor market and new demands on state resources for economic development.
The current economic malaise and austerity have forced governments to make painful choices and might lead to what some are calling an "intergenerational civil war." According to a recent article by Newsweek, the US spends more on the elderly than the young. While that fact by itself is not surprising or new, the article attempts to trace out some potential issues with that continued trajectory. According to the Urban Institute's Kids Share study, public spending on children in 2008 (in current dollars) came to $12,164 per child, with about a third of that total coming from the federal government and two-thirds from state and local levels, mostly via education spending. The elderly by contrast received about $27,117 per person and mostly from the federal government via social security, Medicaid and Medicare.
While the economy has slowly started to rebound and state fiscal positions are getting stronger, high unemployment rates stubbornly remain and state leaders are still struggling to find ways to bring jobs to their states. According to a new Stateline article, states are once again turning to big incentive packages to either retain or lure companies into their states. In addition, states are experimenting with other creative solutions - such as work share - to help usher recovery in to a still-fragile economy.

Many people want to know what goes into making a simple yet well thought out gaming website. When any gambling firm/casino attempts to make a website there are key considerations that are taken into account which directly impact the design and user experience.
This is one of the world's most popular gambling sites, Bodog.eu:
We initially went in with this sort of mindset and made a few mockups which included attractive women, and a "vegas" atmosphere.
We worked with a very talented design firm to produce the following:
We were focused on making what is essentially a proven design guaranteed to excite users and get them to roll. A few days later I decided to throw away these ideas and the entire concept of a gambling theme. It became our team's belief that the USA had driven the gambling boom and after black friday the innovation and progress within the online gambling world had completely stagnated. We wanted to create something new and clean and simple, not one that would make people want to throw their money away or pump their adrenaline. Rather we wanted to create a design that would make users feel comfortable and create an environment of social, fun gambling where users would pay for entertainment rather than for a chance to win big.
We went back to the drawing board and pushed our design team to create these designs:
The more we designed the more I moved towards our Primedice 2 design which is currently present on www.primedice.com as of Feb 10th, 2014
We ended up with a ton of mockups that looked like this:
Our tentative final theme:
Note: Our New logo is visible in that last image
All in all, not a whole lot changed in terms of design despite spending over 2 months on it, when you create something simple and clean that people enjoy there is really no real reason to change it. We strived to just update it and make it a bit smoother which we feel we've accomplished. Much of the design can't be shown in images as it takes the form of JQuery/front-end and we feel that will take this to the next level. All of this is still a work in progress and I guarantee half of this will change by the time we launch given the nature of our team.
Primedice 3 truly marks the beginning of Gambling 2.0 and we feel we will be setting the bar for all online gambling, not just bitcoin.
Stay tuned for a blog about the features which make up PD3, expected launch is by the end of February 2014.
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Post coming soon…
Gambling is changing and so is PrimeDice.
We're looking to introduce several new games in the near future, we feel they will revolutionize their respective fields. Our vision with them is create an aesthetically pleasing and social gambling environment as we did with PrimeDice 2. I've been doing a bit of research into gambling and gamblers and found that people who like to risk their money primarily do it for three reasons:
The second two go hand in hand but both are important in their own right. With our new websites we're trying to stress the social and entertainment aspects rather than simply money. A few games we're working on include:
Ideally we'd like to both offer a simple and intuitive game to our users but we'd also like to add in some sociability. To do this we have been toying around with ideas for how a group of visitors can gamble on events together or against each other. For example, this can be applied to roulette as every 30 seconds - 1 minute the wheel could spin and users could have the choice to either bet on red or black collectively.
A good example of what I like to call "team gambling" done correctly can be seen at www.saltybet.com. Users are able to gamble fake currency on one of two fighters in simulated fighting matches. Their site runs 24/7 and the fights are all live-streamed on twitch and consistently have thousands of viewers. Essentially what they have is something as exciting as sports gambling but with the instant gratification of something like roulette. What I'm looking to do is take an idea like theirs, simplify it and make it provably fair.
In terms of what we're doing to continue to support PrimeDice, my main objective is adding in PVP. There are some excellent bitcoin PVP gambling options but none of them are simple or entertaining enough to keep me interested. The main issue with instant PVP gambling is how do you make it both instant and provably fair? This is what I've been trying to figure out, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know [firstname.lastname@example.com]. I've found that big gamblers as far as bitcoins go prefer to dice as it is the most straight forward way to wager their coins. Thus, we will continue to devote the majority of attention to PD while working on the projects detailed above. Also important for me to quickly note that PrimeDice is currently being ported to French, Russian, Chinese (simplified) and Spanish.

Many of you who find yourself reading this have probably heard about the new iteration of PrimeDice coming out in a week or so.
What really sets it apart from our current PrimeDice is the design and functionality. Everything has been designed from the ground up and all the code has been re-written so we can deliver the ultimate gambling experience for our users.
Notable features available at launch include:
On top of these features, we have a few big ideas we're working on implementing over the months after launch. As I've mentioned before we're utilizing a "tick-tock" framework. I can't share these ideas at this moment but I'm sure you'll all enjoy them when they are ready!
We're going to attempt to launch the new PrimeDice in roughly a week give or take.
My response to a question on what PrimeDice is doing to counter competition and answering what "PrimeDice Pro" is Via Bitcointalk:
The initial plans for a redesign came to fruition before j-d launched. Quite frankly I wasn't 100% satisfied with our initial final website, it was lacking in many features which should be core to any gambling site. We've broken down our upgrades into a "tick-tock" model, new PrimeDice will come out and we will phase out the old PrimeDice as PD1 is not nearly as great in any regard. Within the coming weeks after that we'll be working in small new features, within a month hopefully an additional big feature. Our aim right now is to complete a small amount of back-end work that needs to be done, put on final touches and test.
We want to put more emphasis on testing this time around as PD1 was initially mired by major issues which hampered the experiences for our bettors such as the slow roll speeds people experienced on and off for the first few weeks. I want to say that we will launch this within a week, it is easily possible but I want to ensure that it is perfect. That being said it will launch when it meets our standards. We're also looking to give more back to the community which we had initially intended, there will be a variety of giveaways/competitions for both gamblers and non-gamblers in the coming months. One of the ways we want to do this is by bringing back our btc bonuses through some sort of faucet specific to each account that can't be abused by bots. Can't promise that this will be present in the first iteration. Going back to your question though, we're hoping to keep pushing and raise the bar. Dooglus has done an incredible job especially when you take into account that j-d has only been around a bit over a month and the fact that he's more or less a one man team not counting his investors. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if j-d encouraged SD to sell so unexpectedly, can only speculate there. That being said we're looking to hit the ground running and keep up the pace. The online gambling market, bitcoin or fiat, is a very young industry and the opportunity for individuals to have significant autonomy in defining it will not last and thus we're going to work our hardest to achieve this. I see bitcoins becoming massive within the coming years and we're looking to solidify a position as one of the top bitcoin gambling sites before the market becomes saturated.
First post! Testing out tumblr for the first time :)

VBI Vaccines is developing safe and effective vaccines that seek toAbout VBI CMV Vaccine
About VBI Vaccines
VBI Vaccines, Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIV) is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel technologies that seek to expand vaccine protection in large underserved markets. VBI's eVLP vaccine platform allows for the design of enveloped ("e") virus-like particle ("VLP") vaccines that closely mimic the target virus. The company's lead eVLP asset is a prophylactic Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine; VBI has initiated work for GMP manufacturing of its CMV candidate for use in formal preclinical and Phase I trials. The company's second platform is a thermostable technology that enables the development of vaccines and biologics that can withstand storage or shipment at constantly fluctuating temperatures. VBI has completed proof of concept thermostability studies on a number of vaccine and biologic targets. VBI is headquartered in Cambridge, MA with research facilities in Ottawa, Canada.

eVLP PLATFORM
VBI's eVLP vaccine technology allows for the design of enveloped ("e") Virus Like Particle ("VLP") vaccines that more closely mimic the structure of enveloped viruses than currently marketed VLP vaccines. VLPs are designed to resemble the structure of viruses, but do not contain any potentially infectious viral material.Learn More
VBI is developing a prophylactic eVLP-based vaccine to prevent CMV infection and disease with a Phase I trial anticipated beginning in 2015. Approximately 5,000 U.S. infants will develop permanent problems due to CMV each year, some of them severe, including deafness, blindness, and mental retardation.Learn More
As an alternative to reliance on the cold chain, VBI's LPV™ technology enables thermostable vaccine delivery, which is expected to increase vaccine safety, efficacy, and access in both established and emerging markets. VBI has completed proof of concept studies on a number of vaccine and biologic targets.Learn More

Years ago, while working for Green Giant, I phoned our steel can sales rep to ask for a 4% reduction. We had information suggesting steel prices had fallen 8%.
He certainly wasn't very happy and, as expected, argued against any decrease.
"Are you saying you're still purchasing steel at the same price as before?" I asked. "That would be surprising."
"Um… no, of course not", he said, "but look – let me get back to you."

WordPress.com owners Automattic, working in conjunction with Answers.com and former WordPress core developer Alex King have just released a new plugin which allows WordPress.com users, and WordPress.org users to easily link to topics and definitions on Answers.com.
Sphinn Greatest Hits – Could The #1 Be Some Useful Content?
John Andrews currently has the top rated article on Sphinn with a truly brilliant display of link baiting and social media awareness.
I am not sure I am going to be able to knock him off the top spot, and this very post will probably gain him a few more votes, but I would like to think that one of my older articles could at least be a contender.
WordPress Plugin – Custom Query String – UTW Edition
This is the first release of this modified "classic" WordPress plugin and is based upon the original Custom Query String by Matt Read which has been looking for a permanent home for a while.
Sphinn Support – Antisocial (SEO Friendly Sociable) WordPress Plugin
I have just added support for Sphinn to my hacked version of the popular Sociable plugin.
For those unfamiliar with Antisocial, these are the differences
- All links have nofollow added – this might sound strange coming from someone who strongly supports the removal of nofollow from comments, but there is no logical purpose having a followable link to a social bookmark site that just points to a submission form
Sociable Plugin Error With WordPress 2.2.1
There seems to be a bug with the Sociable plugin, for which I provide a hacked version with a couple of minor modifications. The bug seems to only be for users of WordPress 2.2.1 (which you should upgrade to for security reasons)

Fiction Contest Runner-Up: Lactose Intolerance
The garage reminded me of my mom. She was the
only one who paid much attention to it. Situated in between my Greenwich Village apartment and Jack's Falafel
(where, as she would say, they "irresponsibly" threw rice on the sidewalk for
the "flying rats" to congregate in numbers to eat), the garage and its cars
constantly encroached upon my sidewalk and was "incredibly dangerous" for
pedestrians. My mother constantly
warned me that a car would come out of the darkness and injure me while I
"daydreamed like some kind of hooligan." And daydream I did as I walked back
from Nomaan's Falafel (for which I braved the walk for a cheaper price and more
authentic sounding name than Jack's).
As I walked past the garage, I felt my eyes roll
to the corners as I pictured with cinematic clarity how it would feel to get
hit by a car. I only imagined it
visually, never thinking about the sounds or the pain. I always pictured it in third person,
like a camera looking on to the car slowly coming out of the dark abyss like
some sort of diablo-ex-machina, catching every frame of the impact in slow
motion from the horizon of my body inward.
"It wouldn't be so bad," I joked with my mom
once, "The crutches would be an excuse to
finally go to Jack's."
Having thought of my mother, I decided to call
my parents once I got to my apartment. As always, they asked me about what I
ate. I told them about the falafel
and the sub I had eaten earlier.
"So what else is going on?" I said.
"Hmm… we've lost our culture."
"The perugu, son. We can't make it anymore, we've just
been eating American yogurt or sour cream or buttermilk." Making yogurt at home
is a lengthy but routine process that requires a small amount to be preserved
from batch to batch so that new milk can be fermented. Nobody knows who made
the first culture, but it would seem that families like us around the world
were dining on the descendents of some great bacterial progenitor from long
ago. My parents had failed to keep
enough to make new yogurt or their culture had somehow spoiled because of weather
changes or something.
"Oh, no big deal." I think I lost my culture
long ago, but that was more the victim of apathy, not improper anaerobic conditions. "For a second I thought you were going
to make me go to some Arangetram."
"Funny, your dad made the same joke. But thanks for reminding me, Pooja is
dancing in a few weeks I think you should come home and go with us. You remember Pooja don't you?"
"Which one?"
"Chennarapalli, you probably met her at Ramarao
Uncle's house."
I couldn't think of a good excuse not to go in
enough time and got stuck having to go home in a few Saturdays.
And so I heard more and more in the proceeding
weeks about the missing culture. The light and worry-free tone I heard in my mother's voice the first
time she told me about the yogurt's disappearance faded. A sense of desperation crept in
instead. Using imperfect substitutes was taking a physical and mental toll on
"It's amazing how many people don't eat perugu
anymore. People change so
easily," she would say. My mother could barely sleep without it. Her stomach was so used to yogurt that anything
else would keep her up at night. Family and friends were no help. Some sort of global epidemic had destroyed the bacteria cultures of
Indian families throughout the northeast United States. It was said there were still successful
yogurt cultures south of the Mason-Dixon, where the climate more closely
mirrored the hot and humid tropical weather of our motherland. But traveling down south was too
difficult; their contacts in that region were tenuous at best and the road too
treacherous for the bacteria that had apparently become so fragile.
As culture loss spread wider and wider people
began to come up with theories. The news even hit the press. My mom forwarded me an article from India Abroad: Indian
Americans in the Northeast are facing confusion as they watch one of their main
food staples disappear: homemade yogurt or curd, also known as perugu, thayir,
and dahi. The delicate
bacteria cultures required to make the yogurt have been dying off.
Some blame antibiotics in the milk and
antibacterial cleaners around the house.
"Just like they are destroying our immune
systems, they are destroying our food," said Krishnababu Rao, a New Jersey
Sitanjali Srinivasan of New York suspects a
conspiracy, "The heavily
subsidized U.S. Dairy Farmers are seeking to promote their higher margin
buttermilk and yogurt products to the growing Desi populace." The Indian
demographic has thus far been unusually resistant to pre-made products, eating
out, and other, profitable consumer activities. When contacted, America's Milk Processor's declined to
It is unclear whether this is the beginning of
the end of Indian curd in the United States. People are not, however, going to sit around idly and watch
it happen. As one boy, 12, from
Edison, N.J. put it, "We will fight whomever did this until we get our
perugu back!"
The Friday of that weekend, I was supposed to go
home was the holiday Holi. The
stars, the planets, the heavens, must have been especially aligned that day
because it was apparently also Purim, Good Friday, and the Spring Equinox. I called my parents in honor of Holi,
but I may as well have chosen any or all of the above.
"It's good you called, we need you to do
something before you come home," said my father.
My parents, unable to take it anymore, had pulled
out all the stops. Reaching out to
every known friend, relative and relative of relatives and friends, they
finally came across a valid, living culture. The maker, my mother's cousin's wife's sister's
mother-in-law who was conveniently located in Queens, somehow defied the tides
of destruction and preserved a perfect yogurt culture. My mission was to retrieve a sample and
bring it home with me the next day.
And so that afternoon I grabbed my iPod, popped
in my noise-cancelling earbuds and set off for Jackson Heights. My destination was only a few blocks
from the Roosevelt Avenue subway station and I arrived in 20 minutes flat. I knocked heavily on the door. Sumitra Auntie answered, "Oh, it's been
so long since I've seen you. Your
mother was right, you have changed so much. I remember, you were much smaller, and I think a little
I feigned a smile and looked past her. The operative color of this townhouse
was red. The wallpaper had an Oriental red design. The spectrum of the white lights seemed to have degraded to
the low-end reds. The light
reflected off her dull sari, dancing between earthy beige and the red of
the lights. The smell was the red
of chili powder and mango pickle.
She sat me down and offered me food, which I
knew to accept without a fuss. She
asked me about work and family. I
responded tersely, with a fake grin. Growing tired of the questions, I began to trail off at the ends of my
sentences, hoping to trick her into thinking she had a hearing problem. Instead, her pupils dropped toward her
eyelids before perking back up in a smile. She began to talk louder, as if I
were the one with the hearing problem.
GOOD." I unconsciously let myself roll my eyes this time, thinking about the
statistic that 90 percent of Asians are to some degree lactose intolerant. But when I finished eating the spicy idli
sambar she had given me I was grateful to be able to cool down my mouth and
stomach with some freshly made yogurt. It was much more refreshing than I had remembered, but maybe that's because
it had been so long.
"Do you want to know my secret?" she said in a
quieter voice as if she was afraid it would get out, "I treat my culture like a
child: a gift, a responsibility." And she told me about her 20-year-old fridge and her meticulous yogurt
making routine. And then she asked
me where my ice chest was.
The one detail my parents forgot, the one item I
was missing. "In that case", she
said, holding her chest high, and her left hand out, "you will need to take
this and make sure you get it in your fridge within one hour at the most, I
don't know whether you will even be able to take it home to your parents."
Fine, I thought, once I get it to my apartment I
will be able to come up with something.
And I saw her pour a little bit of yogurt into
an empty glass mango pickle jar, which she then carefully placed into a
brown paper bag and handed to me, sending me on my way with a few words of
goodbye and several words of caution.
I could go home and come back and go home again
within an hour, I thought. And so
I ambled down the street toward the subway enjoying the song in my ears, Paul
Simon's "American Tune."
"Due to routine maintenance, all Manhattan-bound
trains will be bypassing this stop.
Please take the Jamaica-bound E and transfer at
Forest Hills to the Manhattan bound train."
I spent 30 minutes waiting for the train, ignoring
the judging glances from people at the paper bag wrapped cylindrical object in
my hand. When all was said and
done, I made it back to the subway stop by my apartment in 54 minutes. I had 6 minutes to spare before the
culture in my hand would spoil and reincarnate as some deadly disease. I
paused, rationalizing that my parents would understand if the yogurt didn't
make it home safely, that they had probably passed the denial phase and were
ready to move on. But the cool
taste lingered in my mouth and stomach.
So I ran for it. I hauled ass up the stairs and up the block, almost knocking
over a bum in a wheelchair. I
heard multiple honks with that distinct yellow cab blare as I diagonally
crossed two streets. And finally I
arrived on my block. I skillfully
evaded the pigeons outside Jack's falafel that had at this point grown too used
to humans to run out of the way. I headed toward my apartment building with two
minutes to spare.
And then, the world panned out behind me. A man across the street watched as I
turned my head to the right and saw the Mercedes peace sign approach my
side. The impact was much more
sudden and much less calculated than I had imagined. The jar flew out of my hand.
The man across the street watched the brown
paper bag as it arced through the air, until its contents flew from within and
crashed, startling the pigeons. The yogurt inside erupted spectacularly and garnished the rice on the
sidewalk. The pigeons, overcoming
their astonishment, lapped it up.
Weeks later, my parents forwarded me another India
Abroad article:
Sumitra Bharat of Jackson Heights, beloved
mother and grandmother, died in a house fire Monday morning. She was an active member of the local
Indian community who recently gained fame for having the last active yogurt
culture in the northeast. The
cause of the fire is presumed to have been electrical. Mrs. Bharat was hard of hearing. It is believed she was unable to hear
the smoke alarm. Funeral services
will be held in India, at her family's ancestral home.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have a third grader and a child in pre-k and I must say that this school is very unorganized. Unorganized within their own staffs and departments. When you need help and you go to the main office, they seem to be lost with a simple question such as how do I apply for kindergarten. My third grader has been blessed with outstanding teachers thus far, but it seems that the school leadership and organization continue to fail.
I graduated from P.S. 33 in 1949 having gone through the old learning process that WORKED! It was a great school then and I hope it still is GREAT!
This school is an excellent school! My child is bilingual and the principal with her teacher helped me and my child to do go to ESL classes. Ms. Salcedo and Ms. bright are ecellent teachers and so is the principal. The prinicpal is always there to help us bilingual parents and immigarnt parents. it is the first school that you can see and meet with the principal
I have no problems with the is school. I was a student and i see lots of improvements. the children have so much more that when i came to this school. the teachers and Ms. Santos the Principal are so nice. They are very bright peopel and they treat you very special. They don't make you feel umcomfortable like some other schools.
P.S.33 is the worst school my child has ever went to
As an alum, I have to say that this school really does care about your future. Even though it's an early time in one's life, I truly believe that these teachers really care about their students.
Overall, the school is fine. I mean the parents can become more involved with their kid's work. But the after school programs are a lot of fun for the kids, they get to be creative and go on trips.
This school needs a lot of improvement. some students disrespect the teachers and administration gives little authority to the teachers. This school is home to all of the children within the neighborhood. There needs to be a better communication between parents and administration. Please be aware that if your child goes to this school much reinforcement of academic work must be made on the parental part. the schools curriculum is geared only for the state tests. other subjects such as history and science are almost completely cut out of the children's academics.
This school leadership was not forthcoming towards the students, parents and community. The parents were not fully briefed and major incidents were overlooked.
Teachers are excellent one of the better public scools in the city of NY.

Hi everybody,
To celebrate my one year anniversary on this forum, I thought I'd try a poll. I just hope I did the "poll" part right.
The "Special Price Break" thread from a few weeks ago got me thinking about the effect sky-rocketing fuel prices is having on RV travel. Simplistically, how much these rising fuel costs are increasing the cost of your RVing is primarily a function of your mileage. For example, if you drive the RV 10,000 miles a year and get 10 mpg., fuel at $3 a gallon costs you an extra $1,000 a year over $2 a gallon fuel. While that is a lot of money to some of us, I don't see that as a "deal breaker" for many retired, full-timers on this forum. Another factor is the amount of time you spend RVing. If that 10,000 miles is spread over 5, 6, 7 months or more of travelling, you're getting a pretty good return on the extra $1,000. On the lower end, an extra $500-$1,000 for a 3 week vacation may put a long summer RV trip out of reach for families.
I think it will be interesting to see the poll results (assuming I did that part of this post right) and comments by others on this financial problem facing RVers.

Hi Glen,
Since I purchased my "new to me" RV, on Feb 14, 2009, I've been driving 1200 miles per month on average. That is a significant increase.

Scarlett Johansson to Make HOW MUCH for Avengers Sequel?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
The Avengers 2 is a go, that much is certain.
And Scarlett Johansson will most definitely reprise her role in the franchise as Black Widow. But how much will she bank for the sequel? That question is up for debate.
A recent New York Post report claimed the beautiful star will earn a $20 million check for the role, a number that would set a new standard for actresses, eclipsing the $19 million payday garnered by Angelina Jolie for The Tourist.
However, a rep for Johansson tells E! News he has no knowledge of such a figure, which does seem to be excessive for what amounts to a supporting role.
Then again, based on The Avengers box office haul, we're pretty sure the sequel can afford any amount.
What do you think? Is Johansson worth $20 million per movie?
Scarlett Johansson deserves all the money and fame she gets, because she is a wonderful actress. Anyone saying she's not is either lying or doesn't have any knowledge about the art of acting at all. She is a beautiful, strong and talented woman and she deserves that much money for every role she plays.
there are twats on here saying she does not deserve the money or she cannot act. Well you guys are a bunch of twats. She is the one being paid and no one can do a better acting of The black widow than she is at the moment which is why she is being given so much to be kept in the first place!
There is not a person on earth who should get that much money to ACT. Its obscene. Oh wait, maybe she will use it to feed the poor or housing for the homeless. That would be awesome. But she probably wont.
Not a chance..Emily Blunt was chosen over SJ for the BW role if you remember but couldn't get out of a prior commitment at time of shooting so they went back to their 2nd choice..Many girls could play BW much better than her and its only a support role.I think its promotion to see how people react to build the BW character.Her rep denied it.
this is based on my own personal opinion bt these ppl gt paid all this money to do a movie or party on tv bt so much of us just try 2 keep our familys fed and bills paid its just crazy 2 me

"BarlowGirl" - Music Review
- Saturday, February 21, 2004
Artist: BarlowGirl
Label: Fervent
BarlowGirl, the trio comprised of sisters Rebecca, Alyssa and Lauren Barlow, is credited with inspiring "Barlow Girls," a song that first appeared on Superchic[k]'s debut, "Karaoke Superstars." And after listening to this teen-issue-oriented album, it's not hard to see why these young ladies have had such a positive impact. That's because seemingly anything that could potentially trouble young adults is somehow covered throughout the course of this CD.
For example, the danger of putting too much stock in celebrities is addressed on "Pedestal," while the way feminine clothes only seem fit for the rail-thin bodies of supermodels is woven into the lyrical fabric of "Clothes." Later, on "Superstars," listeners are reminded that they don't need to be famous in order to be true "stars" for God.
While addressing relevant issues is a great alternative to the pop-culture norm, after a while BarlowGirl's non-stop social commentary gets to be a little overwhelming. The group's debut may be a sharply produced pop/rock effort, but good intentions can occasionally get lost in the mix when the message feels a little heavy handed.
