Atlas Van Lines survey shows optimistic outlook for 2010
Evansville-based Atlas Van Lines sees signs of economic hope in 2010, according to the company's annual Corporate Relocation Survey.
The 43rd annual survey, released today, polled 274 corporate relocation professionals, who responded via e-mail between Jan. 11 and Feb. 26.
More than one in five of those surveyed said they expect relocation volumes to increase this year. That's a more hopeful outlook than in last year's survey, when more than half of those surveyed said they expected a decrease in relocations.
In the survey, most participants also said they expect their companies' financial performance to improve this year as compared to 2009.
"These survey results are a possible early sign of a recovery for the relocation industry, and they indicate that companies are finding ways to contain costs while retaining employee incentives," Atlas President and Chief Operating Officer Jack Griffin said in a press release.
Other survey results:
* 56 percent of respondents said they had had employees refuse to relocate in 2009, as compared to 65 percent in 2008. Among those who refused, 77 percent cited housing/mortgage concerns, including worries about selling a home, as the top reason.
* 53 percent of respondents said economic conditions had the biggest influence on relocations. Another 31 percent said the lack of qualified local people was the biggest influence.
* 42 percent said they moved fewer employees in 2009 as compared to 2008. In the 2008 survey, 25 percent of respondents said they had moved fewer employees than in the previous year.
* The Midwest was the destination for 36 percent of transfers, followed by the South (28 percent) and the Northeast (27 percent). The most popular destinations for international transfers were Europe (47 percent) and Asia/the Pacific Rim (36 percent).
* Men ages 36-40 were the most frequently located employees in 2009. Women represented 17 percent of relocated employees.

Wedding help
- Kitchen Queen Jul 15, 2006 01:49 AM
I will be getting married early next spring and would like to begin the planning soon. I have chosen the home of a friend for ceremony and reception. This will allow me to enlist my own chef/caterer AND wedding cake/tart/or ?. I am looking to all of you chowhounds for a bit of help in this dept. I want only the best in fare, off the beaten track -a bit unique. Would rather spend $$ on food I love and appreciate than be in someones elses space with so-so food and little choices. I'M VERY FLEXIBLE AS TO THE TYPE/KIND. TASTE AND SERVICE ARE IMPERATIVE
Wedding: May 6 2007 Alta Loma (Claremont area)
Outside environ
less than 100 guests
brunch/early lunch menu
Joan's on Third
The Kitchen for Exploring Foods
Good luck and congratulations!
re: Suebee
We used the Kitchen for our private home wedding reception in 2003. They were incredibly professional, and the food was excellent. We chose to do heavy hors d'oeuvres rather than a sit down meal, and they had a lot of creative ideas, including a panini station and a lemonade bar (before Martha Stewart caught on). They set up a working kitchen in the garage, did a fabulous job decorating the tables, had no issue with us buying and serving our own champagne, and did a beautiful job of serving and presenting the cake I baked. Can't recommend them highly enough.
re: Amuse Bouches
Thank you - I've been reviewing their website and the Kitchen looks like just the caterer I'm interested in. I especially like the Martini Salad bar! - I'll have to try some of their bento boxes. Great suggestion. They're even close to Alta Loma.
re: Kitchen Queen
I have to say that they also were great about working in our budget - I think we ended spending a little over 30 pp on food and servers, and there was a TON of food. They wrapped up all the leftovers and left them in the refrigerator.
re: Amuse Bouches
Thanx again - I just sent them an email. I'll keep you and other chowhounds posted.
re: Amuse Bouches
Amuse Bouches - Tell me, what did you serve? I love seafood but, not all places serve fresh and fine. Would love a fresh oyster bar, shrimp, smoked fishes, etc.
re: Amuse Bouches
Oh gosh, what we served -- that was years ago!
I remember the smoked trout with pecans appetizer, and the panini station, and I think part of the Mediterranean station, and a fabulous crab dip, and brie en croute, and artichoke bottoms with a wild mushroom mousse. Everything was delicious. I ate at my own wedding, which is supposedly pretty rare.
This advice probably won't help you in Claremont, but I imagine other people will be interested in suggestions, too.
Papa Christo's catered our wedding last month, and their food was a huge hit. We had much more than our large group could finish of delicious kebabs, gyros, spanikopita and tiropita, pita bread, tzatziki, hummus, Greek salad and olives, and it worked out to about $10/person. Also owner Chris Chris was wonderful to deal with, and spent a lot of time making sure we were happy with the menu. I'd highly recommend Papa Christo's to anyone planning a big event within driving distance of their restaurant at Pico and Normandie.
More info: http://www.papacristo.com/cater.htm
We got flat cakes at the Los Angeles Baking Company in Lincoln Heights, which they were able to print with images we provided on CD-Rom onto edible rice paper. The classic Phoenix Bakery strawberry cake recipe was amazing, and very reasonable. They can also do stacked wedding-style cakes, and they deliver.
Wedding food can be wayyy overpriced for what you get, but there's great stuff out there at good prices if you look. Spend what you save on the wine. We did:
re: Krispy Kringle
Thank you! This is great info. I like the idea of printing images on rice paper. I surely will do my research! I've not married before and don't plan to do it again! So, this is it.
re: Krispy Kringle
Yes - spend at least some of what you save on great wine and beer The beer in particular was a huge hit at our early evening pool-side reception. My uncle said, "This is the only wedding I've been to with good beer." The Beverage Company in Marina del Rey is one place to get some help with a great selection.
re: Chefdavis
I used the Kitchen for an event and would have to concur with the positive remarks on the food...they can be pushy on menu selections (order off their menu) and I didn't find the person we met with to be very friendly or interested. Day of the event, they were prompt, food was fresh and the tables were tiered and dressed beautifully with creative displays. We did a Martini glass mashed potato bar which was a huge hit.
Thank you all for these wonderful suggestions. I just sent THE KITCHEN an email. Not sure how far in advance to book a caterer. Has anyone tried Joe's on Abbott Kinney in Venice? http://www.joesrestaurant.com This also looks really intriguing. I always like the words "custom for you" - May pay a little extra but, I get what I want..... :)
What about Carmelized Productions- anyone else know of them?
Also thanx much for the wine/beer suggestions. Know we won't have a mixed bar but, some good wines and beer as an alternative would be nice.
Here's another suggestion for off-the-beaten track, if you want to do a Chinese sytle banquet, try OCEAN STAR.
They will cater (e.g. provide on-site chef) and are negotiable re: dishes. But you will have to provide the equipment and wait staff.
Congrats on the wedding.
145 N. Atlantic Blvd., #201-203
Monterey Park
Well, first of all, congrats. Hope you and yours have a long and happy life together.
Now, to the important part: food.
If budget is really no object, the greatest chef in the United States (and maybe the world) does catering for a price. Daniel Boulud, of Resturant Daniel in New York.
If you get him, I expect an invitation.:)
re: Bostonbob3
Thank you Boston Bob but, we do have a budget and I would like to keep w/a local baker anyway.
re: jlisa1
Thanks for the cake options. Porto's I know well - it's the bomb! Love the fruit tarts. I was looking at Fantasy Frostings and Bees Knees. Know of these? Anyone know of these?
re: Kitchen Queen
Recently the bees knees did my wedding cake and i have nothing but good things to say about them. my fiancee and i were on a strict budget and they worked around it. also, i am a very picky eater and they had no problem adjusting some of their flavors so i could get exactly what i wanted. the cake was GORGEOUS, i was very happy. try them.
re: kitchenwitch
I have to say that I was very underwhelmed by the Bee's Knees...when we went for our tasting they were rude to us and the cakes tasted old and cold...I was pretty disappointed...same with Portos...love their food but the wedding cake tastings were not very good.
We are picking between Cakery Bakery in La Canada and Takes the Cake...both very reasonable and great cake!
re: madrigal_singer
We did a Porto's tasting last month. I thought the cake tasted pretty good, but the designs were very old fashioned (IMO). We went with Rosebud...gorgeous cake, less expensive that Porto's.
re: Kitchen Queen
I also used the Bee's Knees for my wedding cake and have to say it was fantastic! The cake was beautiful and delicious, staff was easy to work with. We had 2 flavors in our cake, chocolate( the BOMB!) and vanilla cake with fresh berries and lemon curd. Want to go back and try all the flavors!
Porto's is good also, but their cake designs aren't so great.
Congratulations on your wedding! We were just married last month. My first choice for catering was the Kitchen for Exploring Foods, but finally opted for a relative newcomer, Elements Catering in Pasadena(Carol Grogan-626-440-0100), and cannot say enough about them! Prices were extremely reasonable--about $25 per person-- the food was heavenly and the service outstanding. Since we are Asian, we wanted American food with an Asian flair, and they executed fabulously with Salmon and ribeye marinated in Asian spices and herbs.
Carmelized Productions are excellent, different and super creative. They are easy and really fun to work with. For your cake, have you tried Sweet Cakes on Sunset Boulevard? So delicious and not dry like most cakes.
re: laonion
What kind of cake is good at Cakery Bakery? The last one I got looked like buttercream but was some kind of light whipped cream that I didn't want.
re: jackattack
Buttercream vs. whipped cream is a pretty personal preference. I tasted both there. I hate buttercream but love whipped cream cakes so I order the Raspberry Bavarian Cake and ordered the Chocolate Ganache Cake for the chocoholics. I loved both of them.
I just went to this party last week in West Hollywood and the food was outstanding. A couple of guys from New England opened their own catering company called Nourish Kitchen. The food was better than any restaurant I have been to in quite some time. Plus they were the nicest guys. Didn't grab a card, but I did get the owner's cell - his name is Shad I think. 310.463.6263. Supposedly it was their first major hollywood party. Have to say it takes a lot to impress me, and they did great. The prices seem very reasonable for the quality of food and their menu was very eclectic with a fresh twist. Not the typical food you see from a caterer. Worth a phone call at least.
re: kproq323
Thanks for this. My S.O. however, has chosen Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock -made a deposit already. And, I am choosing Compartes chocolates to accompany. Kind of you to offer suggestions. :)KQ
RE: Cakes. Haven't made a decision yet but, really like the idea of a small cake and having Auntie Em's supply their other treats. They bauffed at my idea of complimenting a wedding cake w/Porto's small mousse desserts. - Probably 'cause they want me to buy THEIR sweets. So, I think I'll use the small mousses as wedding favors. Each person with a mousse and their name on a square of chocolate on top of each treat. Whaddya think?

Let's assess the winners and losers in American culture for 2013. Our first obvious winner is "Duck Dynasty" and its Phil Robertson. He's a winner for standing by his Christian principles after some offensive remarks about homosexuality.
Here's a twist on Christmas that would make Jesus weep.
Pope Francis' call for a truce notwithstanding, the culture war rages on in America.
Just look at the chain's outlet in Canton, Ohio, where management set up bins for food donations, asking people to give generously to the poor who otherwise would not have a Thanksgiving dinner. But the bins weren't for customers - they were tucked back in the employees-only area.
What's been called the "War on Christmas" is often a case of secular liberals wanting to engage in Christmas denial. In the name of not wanting to offend people of minority faiths (or no faith), they remove the C-word from department store catalogs and Christmas songs from public school concerts, leaving us with lame messages about snow.
Here's a jarring headline: "Economic Populism Is a Dead End for Democrats."
Making fun of Fox News' Megyn Kelly for her vigorous-without-a-doubt-make-no-mistake insistence that Santa Claus and Jesus Christ are both white would be like taking candy from a child.

I was, frankly, quite delighted to see that my former student Chai Feldblum, who grew up to be one of the nation's leading scholars and lawyers on issues of equality, especially for women and LGBT Americans, was confirmed to serve a full term on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Chai, a longtime law professor at Georgetown University, was first appointed to the EEOC in 2009 and then was a recess appointment in 2010. Her term expired last July, and her re-nomination has been languishing along with the nominations of more than a hundred other highly qualified people for executive ...
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., are about as opposite politically as two people can be. Nonetheless, last week they joined forces to introduce a bill to repeal the federal requirement to blend corn ethanol into gasoline.
Lately, I've been hearing from readers who are among the million Californians who had private health care plans, received cancellation notices and now have to buy new coverage. Some figured that if they signed up with their old providers - Blue Shield or Anthem - they'd have access to the same doctors and hospitals. Not quite. In Marin, San Francisco and Alameda counties, new plans in Covered California exchanges don't include doctors and hospitals in other counties.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wanted to share his long-repressed feelings about a traumatic event. "It was," the Kentucky Republican confided, grim-faced, "the worst day of my political life."
DEAR DIDI: Our four year old pit mix will play with toys if we interact with them but if we throw the toy and ask him to fetch he loses all interest and walks away.

"The power to declare war, including the power of judging the causes of war, is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature."
At last month's California gubernatorial debate, Republican hopeful Neel Kashkari praised Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris for using their discretion not to appeal a court ruling that overturned the state's same-sex marriage ban. Kashkari then chided both Democrats for failing to use that same discretion when they appealed the Vergara v. California court decision. The suit is named after Beatriz Vergara, one of nine students who sued to eliminate the state's teacher tenure system.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Lawrence Silveira is a Sierra High graduate now living in Chicago. In this column, penned on Sept. 5, he writes about the differences between the two locales, and what he's learned in his first few weeks at Columbia College.

Send Me Back to Afghanistan!
January 14, 2010 by Ted Rall
I'm trying to raise travel expenses to go back to Afghanistan via Kickstarter.
I need $25,000 (covers part of the travel, that's all). So far, 41 backers have put up $3,355.
So I need $21,645 more.
My plan is to return to the same places I saw in 2001, now under control of the neo-Taliban, to see how life has changed since then. Also planning to spend time in the most remote part of the country, the southwest desert along the border with Iran, to visit people who never see the foreign press. Best of all for politically-minded people, construction of the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline is now underway near Herat! I'll go get the exclusive untold story of one of the main reasons we invaded Afghanistan–photos too, natch.
I'll write a book about the experience, blog from in-country, and write columns and cartoons too.

Syndicated Column: "The Haitian Earthquake – Made in USA"
January 14, 2010 by Ted Rall
As grim accounts of the earthquake in Haiti came in, the accounts in U.S.-controlled state media all carried the same descriptive sentence: "Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere…"
Gee, I wonder how that happened?
You'd think Haiti would be loaded. After all, it made a lot of people rich.
How did Haiti get so poor? Despite a century of American colonialism, occupation, and propping up corrupt dictators? Even though the CIA staged coups d'état against every democratically elected president they ever had?
It's an important question. An earthquake isn't just an earthquake. The same 7.0 tremor hitting San Francisco wouldn't kill nearly as many people as in Port-au-Prince.
"Looking at the pictures, essentially it looks as if (the buildings are of) breezeblock or cinderblock construction, and what you need in an earthquake zone is metal bars that connect the blocks so that they stay together when they get shaken," notes Sandy Steacey, director of the Environmental Science Research Institute at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland. "In a wealthy country with good seismic building codes that are enforced, you would have some damage, but not very much."
When a pile of cinderblocks falls on you, your odds of survival are long. Even if you miraculously survive, a poor country like Haiti doesn't have the equipment, communications infrastructure or emergency service personnel to pull you out of the rubble in time. And if your neighbors get you out, there's no ambulance to take you to the hospital—or doctor to treat you once you get there.
Earthquakes are random events. How many people they kill is predetermined. In Haiti this week, don't blame tectonic plates. Ninety-nine percent of the death toll is attributable to poverty.
So the question is relevant. How'd Haiti become so poor?
The story begins in 1910, when a U.S. State Department-National City Bank of New York (now called Citibank) consortium bought the Banque National d'Haïti—Haiti's only commercial bank and its national treasury—in effect transferring Haiti's debts to the Americans. Five years later, President Woodrow Wilson ordered troops to occupy the country in order to keep tabs on "our" investment.
From 1915 to 1934, the U.S. Marines imposed harsh military occupation, murdered Haitians patriots and diverted 40 percent of Haiti's gross domestic product to U.S. bankers. Haitians were banned from government jobs. Ambitious Haitians were shunted into the puppet military, setting the stage for a half-century of U.S.-backed military dictatorship.
The U.S. kept control of Haiti's finances until 1947.
Still—why should Haitians complain? Sure, we stole 40 percent of Haiti's national wealth for 32 years. But we let them keep 60 percent.
Despite having been bled dry by American bankers and generals, civil disorder prevailed until 1957, when the CIA installed President-for-Life François "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Duvalier's brutal Tonton Macoutes paramilitary goon squads murdered at least 30,000 Haitians and drove educated people to flee into exile. But think of the cup as half-full: fewer people in the population means fewer people competing for the same jobs!
Upon Papa Doc's death in 1971, the torch passed to his even more dissolute 19-year-old son, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. The U.S., cool to Papa Doc in his later years, quickly warmed back up to his kleptomaniacal playboy heir. As the U.S. poured in arms and trained his army as a supposed anti-communist bulwark against Castro's Cuba, Baby Doc stole an estimated $300 to $800 million from the national treasury, according to Transparency International. The money was placed in personal accounts in Switzerland and elsewhere.
Under U.S. influence, Baby Doc virtually eliminated import tariffs for U.S. goods. Soon Haiti was awash predatory agricultural imports dumped by American firms. Domestic rice farmers went bankrupt. A nation that had been agriculturally self-sustaining collapsed. Farms were abandoned. Hundreds of thousands of farmers migrated to the teeming slums of Port-au-Prince.
The Duvalier era, 29 years in all, came to an end in 1986 when President Ronald Reagan ordered U.S. forces to whisk Baby Doc to exile in France, saving him from a popular uprising.
Once again, Haitians should thank Americans. Duvalierism was "tough love." Forcing Haitians to make do without their national treasury was our nice way or encouraging them to work harder, to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. Or, in this case, flipflops.
The U.S. has been all about tough love ever since. We twice deposed the populist and popular democratically-elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The second time, in 2004, we even gave him a free flight to the Central African Republic! (He says the CIA kidnapped him, but whatever.) Hey, he needed a rest. And it was kind of us to support a new government formed by former Tonton Macoutes.
Yet, despite everything we've done for Haiti, they're still a fourth-world failed state on a fault line.
And still, we haven't given up. American companies like Disney generously pay wages to their sweatshop workers of 28 cents an hour.
What more do these ingrates want?

The Onion puts Geary in top 25 of decade
January 13, 2010 by NBM
Specifically, they rave about his Mystery of Mary Rogers Book:
"Roughly once a year throughout the '00s, Rick Geary delivered another of his carefully researched, beautifully drawn "Treasury Of Victorian Murder" books (or lately, "Treasury Of XXth-Century Murder"). All are essential reading for comics fans and history buffs alike, but The Mystery Of Mary Rogers is especially fine.
Geary portrays the culture of New York in the mid-19th century as a hybrid of European sophistication and frontier barbarism, and as he muses on how a case can scandalize a community yet remain an utter mystery, he shows how fiction is born from our unceasing fascination with the lurid."
We might have chosen another volume of Geary's but hey! who are we to quibble?
Sequential Tart highly recommends Vatican Hustle
January 12, 2010 by NBM
On Greg Houston's Vatican Hustle:
"The first comic in a long time to make me laugh in public. If you do not enjoy the non sequiturs of Family Guy, you will want to avoid this book. Everyone else is in for a treat of the lowbrow type. Vatican Hustle is one of those comics that you find yourself quoting amongst friends. The plot is so offensive that it quickly turns the corner and becomes funny once again. I highly recommend it. Grade: 9/10″
GRAPHIC NYC: How 'Once Upon a Time in America' influenced BROWNSVILLE
January 11, 2010 by Neil Kleid
Here's a fun essay I wrote for Graphic NYC about the movie ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA and how it influenced my book, BROWNSVILLE.
"Brownsville, the graphic novel I created for NBM Publishing with Jake Allen, counts influences from mafia films and novels, history and transcripts, and comic book creators ranging from Will Eisner and Jack Kirby to Alan Moore and Harvey Pekar. But Leone's epic tale of friends, love, crime and time gets pride of place as the second great influence and inspiration behind the book, sharing the spot with Cohen's book."
Have a read and immerse yourself in one of the finest mob films ever made.
Week in reviews
January 8, 2010 by NBM
Joe & Azat in the Smithsonian?
Indeed, a nice review of Jesse Lonergan's Joe & Azat at the Smithsonian site:
"Joe's best guide is local Azat, "the computer expert at the education department" – never mind that the entire department has but one computer. Azat, "the greatest dreamer [Joe] ever met" is also his best friend in Turkmenistan. Azat makes sure Joe gets his stolen passport back, tastes the best cooking (including his mother's manty), meets a few of the local girls (at least one of whom Joe should marry), and enjoys every wedding with or without an invitation. In return, Joe puts up with Azat's bully-of-an-older brother, listens to Azat's nonsensical schemes to get rich, commiserates with Azat's yearning for a girl he can't have, and patiently tries to answer one absurd question after another."
Publishers Weekly had six critics round up the best of 2009 and our Story of O and Year of Loving Dangerously made the list. Also, Augie De Bliek, Jr. at Comic Book Resources puts Trondheim's Little Nothings 2 in the top of 2009.
Speaking of CBR, Jason Sacks there says of Royo's newly remastered collection Malefic: "You can't ask for a more beautifully produced collection of fantasy art than Malefic." And Andrew "Capt. Comics" Smith , syndicated in many papers through Scripps says of it:
"A very beautiful book, both in format and content. Royo is an absolute master of his craft, creating incredibly gorgeous and expressive women (and sometimes men), and switching easily from fantasy to sci-fi to horror."

"a measure of the occult"
January 5, 2010 by Naomi Nowak
Hi everyone; happy new year! Holidays are coming to an end and I have no excuse to stay away from the computer anymore (it's -17 c out, that's 1 degree fahrenheit! It's Narnia out there, eternal winter, no christmas. I refuse to stick even the tip of my nose outside the door). Anyway, Graylight is in stores, so let's celebrate with two of my favourite images? Each chapter ends with a two page spread like this.
As you've probably guessed if you've been reading my posts here or over on my personal blog (which by the way gets a lot of updates) there's a whole lot more magic going on in this book than the previous ones. In Unholy Kinship, it was there in the shape of madness. In House of Clay it was there as a dainty sort of half-dream twist on a mostly realistic story. I do fully believe in magic though, and witches especially. I remember in the very first interview I did about my comics someone (it was a panel interview) asked how much of my work was inspired by faerytales. I laughed and said that well, faerytales always meant a lot to me but … there's no unicorns or anything. The audience liked my answer… but I've gotten tired of putting restraints on myself for fear of my work falling into a stereotypical "magical girl" genre. While trying not to be a stereotype is a good thing it very definitely takes a back seat to being honest and describing your real passions. You won't see people throwing spells at each other in my comics because to me that's not how it works. That's fantasy and what I would ideally want to do is show how much magic I see everywhere, in this real world. I've met three (older) women I believe to be witches so far in my life. They've fascinated me like no other people I've ever encountered and I've had more dreams about them than anyone else. Here's a strange coincidence: one is from the south (I met her before I started on Unholy Kinship), one from the north (I met her just as I began work on House of Clay), one from the east (You figure…). I guess there may be a fourth in my future. Okay so this probably all sounds ridiculous and perhaps too personal but now that Graylight is out I felt it was time to talk about my inspiration and motive more explicitly. Hopefully it will make someone want to read.
Moving on though, right? I'd like to write about new projects coming up this year … but I can't. True to my partner in crime for one of my juiciest crimes yet (only in part comics related) I can't share any news, but I swear this will be an exciting year… can I write stay tuned or is that cheesy? No, it's cheesy. Ok. But stay with me.
ps. There's gonna be unicorns some day.
pps. My website now has illustration and photography aside from paintings.

This series investigates patriotism in the United States based on its most iconic representation, the American Flag. It began in 2005 and since that time I have captured the multitude of ways the flag is represented in the every day. It began in the East Coast and spans to Hawaii, covering much of the country in between.
Over the last six years, I have collected numerous types of flag imagery. These images display a range of materials from t-shirts, air fresheners, fold-up chairs, plastic bags and of course, the traditional flag display outside of homes and businesses. In this time I have become enamored with the image of the flag in all its kitschy incarnations. Due to the time we live in, it is intended to add to the discussion of where American patriotism is today.
Throughout this process I've asked myself, how is patriotism changing in the United States? My hope is for people to ask themselves, in addition to national pride, what does our flag mean to us?

Iraq Joins the Chemical Weapons Convention
The government of Iraq has deposited its instrument of accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) with the Secretary General of the United Nations and within 30 days, on 12 February 2009, will become the 186th State Party to the Convention
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is the implementing body for the Convention. The OPCW Director-General, Ambassador Rogelio Pfirter, welcomed Iraq's decision as a significant step to strengthen global and regional efforts to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons.
"Iraq's accession draws us closer to the Convention's goal of the universal ban on chemical weapons, and we call upon those nine States that have not yet adhered to the Convention to do so without delay," Ambassador Pfirter said.
The Convention aims to eliminate an entire category of weapons of mass destruction by prohibiting the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer or use of chemical weapons by States Parties. States Parties, in turn, must take the steps necessary to enforce that prohibition within their jurisdiction. All States Parties to the Convention are obliged to declare and destroy any stockpiles of chemical weapons they may hold and any facilities which produced them, as well as any chemical weapons they abandoned on the territory of other States Parties in the past.
All States Parties declare to the OPCW the extent of specific activities which could pose a risk to the object and purpose of the Convention. These activities are then subject to international verification and monitoring by the OPCW Secretariat, primarily through inspections, to ensure non-proliferation. States Parties also agree to abide by a verification regime for certain toxic chemicals and their precursors in order to ensure that such chemicals are only used for purposes not prohibited.
Iraq will now be eligible to benefit from the OPCW's international cooperation and assistance programmes, which provide support in drafting and enacting the legislation necessary to implement the Convention at the national level. This legislation enables States Parties to detect, prosecute and punish any breach of the chemical weapons ban committed on their territory or by their nationals anywhere in the world.
In addition, the Organisation provides support in the practical implementation of the Convention's stipulations, in particular, the establishment of an effective National Authority to facilitate annual declarations and OPCW inspections, as well as monitoring chemical transfers and maintaining relevant chemical transfer restrictions. Member States also receive training and may draw upon the Organisation's expertise to enhance their national civil protection in the event of a chemical weapons attack or the threat of such an attack.

Ordered potstickers first, they were just average, nothing special. The sushi was good. Get the crispy California roll, it is amazing. Really liked the double salmon roll, very fresh. I didn't like the spicy tuna roll at all, it was really fishy.
I visit from England to stay with family quite often and have always used the great sushi bar nearby! I now have a really hard decision to make next time as to which one to visit, both are great restaurants. My favourite dish was the Golden Gate Sushi which was so good we ordered another! Godzilla Roll is worth a...
We stopped here after an Ohio State - Berkeley Football Game....the Japanese restaurant we used to go to had changed owners and was no longer Japanese - so we stopped here instead.
The food was very good - very fresh sashimi, excellent salad, good appetizers, saki, and green tea ice cream for dessert. Nice food - yummy and fresh.
A recent accident has temporarily closed the locally appreciated (if not beloved) Sushi 29. An automobile failed to stop outside and came crashing into the restaurant a short time ago. This is a loss to everyone, most seriously to the family that owns and runs Sushi 29, but also to the driver and of course to the neighborhood, too. One...
We've eaten here about five times. The sushi is outstanding. It has become my favorite Japanese restaurant, and I've lived here 20 years. Sometimes I order the chirashi. One clue is that serve real sisho leaves, not that green plastic that ordinary sushi places use. Last night we had nigiri and it was great, large portions of fish with the...

Sending Jobs to Nassau
March 03, 2005
Steven Malanga
In the eyes of New York's pols, stopping Wal-Mart was supposed to be a victory for small stores in Queens and for the city's working people who were about to be "exploited" by the big, bad retailer. But the real victor was Nassau County, which like other suburban locales has benefited hugely over the years from the city's efforts to keep out big-box storesan effort that started long before Wal-Mart came on the scene.
To understand just how big a winner Nassau is, consider a few statistics:
Queens' residents produce slightly more in aggregate personal income every year than the residents of next-door Nassau Countynearly $65 billion vs. almost $64 billion, according to the state Labor Department.
Given those numbers, you would suppose that the two counties would have similar levels of retail employment and spending. Sorry, you'd be wrong.
The last federal economic census, taken in the late 1990s, estimated that Nassau has about double the annual retail-sales volume as Queens.
Not surprisingly, Nassau boasts a much bigger, thriving retail sector. It has 82,000 retail jobs in about 6,200 stores, paying about $2.3 billion annually in wages, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics census of employment and wages.
Queens, by contrast, has only 49,000 retail jobsa whopping 40 percent fewer than Nassauand only about 5,700 stores, paying a total of $1.2 billion a year in wages.
It's no mystery why these vast differences exist despite the potential size of the Queens marketplace. For decades, New Yorkers have been leaving the city to shop because city officials keep at bay the stores where their constituents want to shop in.
In 1993, when the big-box controversy first erupted, the polling firm Leo J. Shapiro and Associates asked New Yorkers about their shopping patterns and found that more than half of city residents leave the city to shop regularly, often visiting stores they can't find in Gotham.
Obviously, the city's big box policies haven't done much to protect Queens' small retailers, as the recent stats on jobs and sales in Queens and Nassau demonstrate.
Of course, the big loser in all of this is the city's taxpayers. The extra sales-tax income that Queens alone forfeits to Nassau County might amount to about $250 million a yearto say nothing of lost property-tax revenues when sites sit empty while big-box stores build energetically in Nassau or Westchester or New Jersey.

Longboat pays tribute to Sept. 11
Date: September 11, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
For the eighth year in a row, Longboat Key Public Works employees worked three additional hours Sept. 10 to line Gulf of Mexico Drive with American flags. Each year on Sept. 11, 2,974 flags line Gulf of Mexico Drive, one for each victim on the terrorist attacks in 2001.
Using four golf carts, each equipped with approximately 700 flags, eight Public Works employees line the road from the former Longbeach Chevron on the north end to the town's welcome sign on the south end near the New Pass Bridge. The flags are sponsored by the Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce, which bought the flags for the first Sept. 11 Longboat Key tribute in 2002, and the town of Longboat Key.

- Studio: XLrator Media
- Release Date: Apr 25, 2014
- Summary: Britain's Ministry of Defense is on the brink of developing a game-changing weapon. Lead scientist Vincent McCarthy (Toby Stephens) provides the answer with his creation, The Machine—an android with unrivaled physical and processing skills. When a programming glitch causes an early prototype to destroy his lab, McCarthy enlists artificial intelligence expert Ava (Caity Lotz) to help him harness the full potential of a truly conscious fighting machine.… Expand
- Director: Caradog W. James
- Genre(s): Sci-Fi, Thriller
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 8
Mixed: 7 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
Even with a cut-and-dried approach to characterization and the issue of man-made consciousness, The Machine percolates with an elegantly palpable sense of wonder and danger.
Despite some striking imagery and sterling FX work, Welsh writer/director Caradog W James' expert use of limited resources doesn't stretch as far as the subtlety-averse script.
When Lotz is not onscreen, Stephens is miserable company. But James does reveal a deep fascination with the robotics that suggests the threadbare story was a chance for him to explore the very real advances in artificial intelligence.
Closer to "Her" in its musing on human/machine connectivity, while also incorporating the dystopian and action-thriller aspects of "Blade Runner" and its ilk, albeit on a much smaller scale, the pic will divide fantasy fans, some of whom will give it props for breaking somewhat from genre formula, while others will be disappointed by the largely budgetary limits of its imagination.
If the proceedings prove far too familiar, director Caradog W. James delivers a few striking images... as well as a sinister cautionary-tale finale made all the more unsettling by its use of a sterling John Carpenter-style synthesizer score.
The Machine is small science fiction. In a genre that openly invites invention, it barely bothers.
Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 7
Mixed: 0 out of 7
Negative: 1 out of 7
Sep 16, 2014I am not much into sci-fi and so bought this movie cheap on DVD and didn't bother getting the Blu Ray, but now I really regret this as it has become one of my favourite movies. The film kept my attention through out. It deserved a bigger budget, but did very well with what it had.… Expand
Sep 18, 2014The Machine tries for a hard science fiction story about artificial intelligence more honestly than what a large studio would produce, and it mostly succeeds. Read @EinRand's comment about the visuals if you watch this movie a second time. In comparison, I thought that the audio art was done poorly; the synth music score and baby doll voice were symbolic but ultimately distracting.… Expand
Jul 22, 2014A Dark Menacing Gem of a Film
Use of darkness to focus attention was unique. Nice menacing dark undertone that is lacking in so many optimistic films of the future. The combination of believable actors, story and excellent - but not overbearing CGI - all combined to make this film deserving of your attention. Caity Lotz was freakishly beautiful and menacing at once. Bravo.… Expand
Jun 2, 2014Simply and most extraordinary, The Machine is one of the best Sci-Fi in recent memory, the movie is intelligent, it is a provoking masterpiece, despite conflicted reviews.… Expand
Apr 27, 2014Although not perfect, worth a look! This movie kept me captivated the entire way through with all its twist and turns. I would have given this film a high score if it had given just a little more. It felt it should have longer, the story/plot has a lot of potential but makes due within its budget.… Collapse

Struggling to get new patients? Let's talk.
Welcome To Killer Shark Marketing.
I'm Jeff Hopeck, founder of Killer Shark Marketing. We're a lead generation company focused in the health care space (Dentists, LASIK surgeons, Integrative/Holistic Doctors, ENT, Optometrists).
As a small, boutique agency, we get things done quickly. I'm sure you've experienced the feeling of working with a large company. You request a website change and you wait… And wait, and wait.
At Killer Shark, it's different. We're a small, dedicated team of marketing professionals, and we've kept it that way on purpose.
As the owner, it allows me to communicate directly with clients, and also meet directly with each member of my team. I personally talk with every member of my team on a daily basis.
As a business owner, I understand the need for strategic partners that can move quickly, take action, and get things done to accomplish key goals and objectives. At Killer Shark, we've brought that model and philosophy to the online marketing world.
What We Do and Why We Do it.
We generate highly qualified leads for businesses by using a variety of Internet strategies that result in increased website traffic, more phone calls and email leads, and ultimately more revenue for your business.
Some of these tactics include:
1 Telephone Interviews:
You're a wealth of knowledge in regards to your own business. This is why at the beginning of the relationship, we schedule a brief, 20-30 minute interview where one of our key members will ask you questions about your business, and record the conversation so we can craft blog posts, press releases, and infographics each and every month.
We continue to conduct these interviews on a regular basis, as it provides us with more ammunition to mow down your competition and reach your target market more effectively.
2 Properly optimized website Built with conversion in mind:
Just because a website looks nice, doesn't mean it converts into more customers. Our team will design and develop your website with conversion optimization at the forefront.
You will not only get a new website that looks great and displays correctly across all devices (phones, tablets, different browsers, etc.) but will also be setup from day one to start capturing leads and maximizing conversions from the traffic that our market efforts send to your website.
3 Content creation:
Companies big and small are realizing that content is the engine that powers the web. We're going to create engaging, helpful content that addresses the questions, needs, and concerns of your target audience so you are able to create an online sales team (your content) that works for you around the clock, 24/7, 365 days per year.
Your content doesn't get sick, doesn't take vacation days, and doesn't ask for a raise…it just promotes your business day in and day out.
4 Content syndication and promotion:
Creating great content is one thing, but getting it seen is another. Each piece of content created by Killer Shark is optimized for search engines, resulting in more "open doors" that lead to your website.
Our content creation and promotion creates new avenues for people to find your business, and we continue this process month after month, year after year.
The result is a snowball effect. Unlike renting ad space where you exchange a flat fee for promotion, marketing your business via the web with Killer Shark Marketing is completely different.
First and foremost, we are creating an asset that you own, and no one can take it away from you. Instead of trading dollars for ad space, you are building equity in your own brand.
With this model, our services actually become more valuable over time as traffic continues to build, and build, and build some more….and leads continue to pour in for the lifetime of our partnership.
5 Detailed Reporting:
You should never second-guess if your website is working for you, but we've seen it- A business owner pays for a web-marketing strategy but never sees or understands how the website is performing! How do you know what works if you don't track it?
Every 60-days, you'll receive a detailed report divulging into the actual key performance metrics of your website, compare to past months, review call tracking numbers, see how visitors are getting to your website, and even see the behavior flow… these metrics and more help us fine-tune your website so it can continue bringing in more customers to your business.
Here's an example of an actual client's phone calls over just a six-month period in 2014:
6 Adding Long-Term Value to Your Practice:
Our services are designed to generate more leads for your business, thus increasing your number and quality of patients, as well as the overall value of your business. As you can see, our services are not just for short-term gain, but provide a vehicle to truly add value to your business over the long haul.
At some point (if you haven't already), you'll be thinking about some form of exit strategy, and if you ever plan on selling your practice someday, having a model in place to consistently attract new patients month in and month out will increase the value of your business dramatically.
