SUNY Upstate students get matched with residencies on national Match Day
At noon on Thursday, March 20, 157 fourth-year students from SUNY Upstate Medical University's College of Medicine joined graduating medical students from across the country in learning where they will spend their first year of training (or residency) in their chosen specialty.
This annual rite of passage, known as Match Day, was established in 1952 by the National Resident Matching Program of the Association of American Medical Colleges. The matching program provides an orderly and fair way to match the preferences of applicants for U.S. residency positions with the residency program's choice of applicants. It also provides a common time for the announcement of the appointments, as well as an agreement for programs and applicants to honor the commitment to offer and accept an appointment if a match results.
[b]At Upstate Medical University:[/b]
? 100 percent of SUNY Upstate's fourth-year medical students received residency appointments;
? 44 percent of the fourth-year medical students will enter the primary care specialties of internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology and a combined medicine/pediatrics program;
? 60 percent will remain in New York state; and
? 29 first-year residents will remain in Syracuse; 23 at University Hospital and six at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center.
In addition to matching its students to programs throughout the country, SUNY Upstate must also fill its own residency positions.
According to William Grant, Ed.D., associate dean for SUNY Upstate's graduate medical education, SUNY Upstate has filled all but one of its 115 specialty and subspecialty residency positions. He expects to have the final position filled within the next few days.
Since 1952, the NRMP has served as an initial indicator of the career interests of U.S. medical school graduates and other physicians who seek training in U.S. residency programs.
In the months prior to Match Day, students submit resumes and interview at hospitals. In February, both hospitals and students rank their choices for placement. The match process is conducted primarily through the Web — a computer center in Washington, D.C., the National Resident Matching Program — generates the matches.

Title. Got into debate with my friend about it.. I don't see how it even was a debate because it definitely is. Pornstars do it all the time, gay pornstars do it, prostitutes do it, heck, I ****ing did it.
Argument started about how i hooked up with a lesbian last night and he said, yea, shes bi. And i was told him no, she likes women more than men and shes sexually attracted to women. Just because she has sex with a man doesn't mean she likes the man, she's just trying to get it in.
Then he says something about you needing to be sexually attracted to someone to have sex otherwise you wouldn't have it.
idk about you guys, but i don't need to be sexually attracted to something to get a nut in.

Green companies you'll feel good supporting

I would love to hear your feedback on this list of companies! Some I completely argree with - Patagonia, Seventh Generation - but others I just can't see, like IKEA and P&G. What do you think? If a company uses green energy and recycled packaging, does that make them green?Go Green: 15 Companies You Can Feel Good About Supporting
What's the definition of a green company? Depends on who you ask. Some people think it's a company that focuses on reducing its energy use and carbon footprint. Others might not consider a company green unless all its products are nontoxic and sustainably sourced. And still others believe brands must engage in fair trade practices in order to be considered green. To come up with our list of 16 companies you can feel good about supporting, we took a look at all these factors -- and more
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 11:11am
I'm happily surprised to see Hasbro on there. To me, Ikea is - using sustainable forests, recyclable products, less packaging, free transportation to and from, less energy (light bulbs). :)
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 11:13am
I see Hasbro and Ikea are on the list and they are definitely two companies on my list of good ones to support.

I don't think it necessarily makes them green companies, but they should be recognized for the progress they've made. It's incredibly important that industry leading companies make strides like these ones have (like P&G, Johnson & Johnson, etc.), because they have the most impact on our environment. They also tend to set industry practices, and hopefully other manufacturers will follow their lead.
I agree. Lessening their impact on the environment is definitely a step in the right direction. I just can't think of IKEA, who sells so much stuff that's meant to be used for awhile then tossed (or recycled), a company that is built on consumerism, as a green company, no matter how many CFLs they use.

They both surprised me with the cutest pregnancy "care packages" in the last few weeks. And though both boxes are still sitting on my kitchen table with their contents scattered everywhere, I'm finally seeing light at the end of my "first trimester is no fun" tunnel so maybe I'll finally get some of the goodies out and use them. :)
|I have used the Preggie Pops. The Warheads were KUH-RAZY sour!! I managed one for about 3 seconds and had to spit it out. Kelsey (responsible for this box) is clearly a bad ass.
|Definitely going to start using this stuff soon. My winter skin is not muy bonita.
|Cute little baby toy. So sweet!
|Box of staples Kaleena found useful during pregnancy.
|Plus a cool pregnancy book for Dad. :)
Seriously, girls. Thank you both so much!! Not only for the thoughtful boxes, but for just supporting me not during the last 3 years of infertility, but for the last few years (well, a couple of decades in Kelsey's case and only a couple of years less than a couple of decades in Kaleena's) of our friendship as well. :) Love you both!

Since news has surfaced that Ken Shamrock is now working as a security guard, many are starting to question his net worth. Some sources are stating that the former UFC champion is worth approximately $1.5 million, but many believe that it is much lower than that.
While it has been years since his heyday as a professional wrestler and actor, sources are stating that Roddy Piper still has a net worth of $4 million right now. The belief is that he made quite a bit of money during his time with WCW and has invested well.

You are just perfect and those actions shud be taken for govt also. you are setting a bench mark in your sector sir.Answered by madhavi, 02 Sep '09 08:12 pm
In an organization every position is important. In case a particular position is not important then the position itself gets redundant. A redundant position need not have any employee working at it. So your Mantra becomes simpler if you just state - Non performing individuals have no place in the organization. In your Mantra in the present form you are conveying that only in Important position non performers will not be tolerated but they still have a place in the organization in so called non important area. Non performers are like parasite. They not only piggy back on the performers for their survival but also demoralize the persons in the organization with their gossips and loose talks. Like weeds in the garden, non performers needs to be thrown out and have no place either in important jobs or in so called non important jobs.Answered by Shyam, 03 Sep '09 11:32 am
These days the management rules are different. What you talk about is administration i.e. working under the rule of stick. But management means one has to make his subordinates capable and willing to work for the goals of the organisation. We have to provide trainings - behavioural as well as functional so that they become non-performing to performing individuals. If we fail, we need not blame only them. It is easy to ask for good performance but better to know why some do not perform and work on them. By the way I am senior specialist in a Public sector hospital and MBA (Hosp. Mangt.). The NTPC culture is different.Answered by sunil sharma, 02 Sep '09 09:34 pm
Yes,you are right , even myself inculcated in the minds of my junior executives that they should follow up discipline, quality performance and productivity . The floor level supervisory personnel easily tolerate lackadaisical attitude of workers and I found them give long rope and compromise indiscipline and non performance with indulgence and simply never report about non performers mostly besides handle disputes in their own style and often meddle in trade union matters in their best known ways ,which would jeopardize human resource management and Industrial relations . The production managers simply try to safeguard their subordinates and try to blame that there no strict disciplinary action taken and erring workers are not suspended or dismissed always try to shift the blame on the H R personnel . I could recall my experience that in one particular department the worker concertedly fail to honor their committed production norms and work assignments for a long period under one pr ...moreAnswered by venkatesaldevarajan, 02 Sep '09 08:17 pm

November 22, 2014
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - The mayor of the northern Niger town of Agadez says that around 35 migrants, including women and children, who were being smuggled to Algeria died of thirst and dehydration in the Sahara Desert after their truck broke down.
Mayor Rhissa Feltou said Monday that this occurred as long as two weeks ago, but authorities are only learning of it now after survivors managed to make it out of the desert. He said at least 60 people were travelling on two trucks, and one of the two broke down around 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Arlit, on the sand path to Tamanrasset, a town in southern Algeria.
The path is a well-known trafficker's route for taking people to North Africa, from where they can try to board boats to Europe.

I've needed glasses for years, had many pairs, yet still none I really like or actually wear. I'm terribly short sighted, and I've lost count of the times people tell me they saw me but I didn't see them, or I wave at people who it turns out I don't know :/ I fell in love with the London Retro range as soon as I saw them. I've bought glasses online before, and the problem I found was that I couldn't try them out first to see if I liked them on me.
Glasses Direct offer a free home trial. You can pick up to four pairs, which they will send out to you {with clear lenses} for seven days to try out. The hardest part was picking four pairs! Once I had chosen, they were in my letterbox within a couple of days. It was great having glasses to try out at home, better than being in a shop. For one, there is no sales assistant standing watching, making you feel nervous or pressured. Secondly, you can try them out with different looks – hair up or down, and different outfits if you wanted. I'd definetly recommend a home trial if you're purchasing online.
Once I had decided on the pair I wanted to keep, I posted them all back, sent them my prescription and waited. A few days later my new pair of glasses was sat waiting for me. I love the style that I picked, even though I felt a little self-conscious at first! But I'm getting used to it, and it's kinda nice to be able to see things clearly, and not just see a blur! The London Retro range are all fab – I'm tempted to get a couple more pairs in different styles.
You can win a pair of London Retro glasses or sunglasses of your own via the Rafflecopter box below :)

New Tumblr
I started a little tumblr called Pictures of People Taking Pictures of my Car. The little Fiat gets photographed a billion times a day and at some point I started taking pictures of people taking pictures until I had a decent collection going. It's silly but it makes me laugh and now I have a place to put my photos.
ps: We filmed a little commercial for Ebay last month. It's filled with things we actually bought from Ebay (like the car!) I've heard you can see it on Youtube as a commercial but for anyone that is curious you can see them right here. It was really fun to make and I love how they turned out.
Go Australia!
Years ago, when Paul and I met, we made a list of places we wanted to travel to. Number 2 on that list was Australia. (The first was France, and we ended up moving there.) I had started noticing all the amazing designers and brands coming out of Australia and I realized there was something cool going on down there and I wanted to see more of it. So I was over the moon when my friends at Go Mighty said that they were putting together a really cool project with Tourism Australia and Air New Zealand. I feel super lucky to be going with 10 other bloggers to Australia where we are going to check some things off our life lists and share our experiences over at Go Mighty.
I've never been to Australia and have just started to do some research. Do you have any places you recommend in Sydney and Melbourne? Especially great places to eat and places to shop. When I travel I like to go to party supply shops and office supply shops, sometimes the practical stuff is the prettiest without even trying. Also, my 15 year old self is very interested in making out with Jim from The Man from Snowy River. How do we make that life list goal happen?
A huge thanks to Tourism Australia, Air New Zealand and Go Mighty for making this adventure possible. If a trip Down Under is a dream you've had, please be sure to check out the Tourism Australia site for all sorts of information about Australia; in addition, Tourism Australia, Air New Zealand and Go Mighty are running two additional campaigns to help make your dream come true in 2014: the first, Fill-A-Plane, where you can sign up to be one of 322 people to get a special discount on air travel for folks who take the pledge to travel to Australia next year; the second, "Win a Wild Card ticket to Australia," for a chance to win a trip to Australia, by simply becoming a member of Go Mighty and adding your wildest Australia-based dreams. You can check out all the details here.

Letterpress Business Card Class
I'm happy to announce I'll be teaching a series of beginning letterpress classes in September and November in San Francisco. I used to teach these classes regularly but took a break when we moved to Paris. We've brought them back by popular demand! I've organized the classes by date and by ink color (everyone in the class prints the same color ink.) The class teaches the basics of printing with photopolymer plates on a Vandercook letterpress. Each student submits their own design or chooses from one of our templates and gets to print 250 of their very own letterpress business cards. It is a really fun relaxing class (there are only 8 students!) and snacks will be provided. I hope to see you guys there! Sign up here. Also, just FYI this is probably the last time I'll offer this in a while.
ps: I'm even doing one special watercolor /letterpress class where students will watercolor and print their own business cards.

Whew. Life's been a whirlwind. Good things, hard things, sucky things, you know, things.
Still grappling with trying to get to 10K steps a day. Grrr. Averages around 7K-ish... So, for now, the goal: Get to 7500 steps a day CONSISTENTLY. Then we'll worry about 10K.
Food: I've been consistently (there's that word again!) whittling down my carb intake. The goal? around 100 carbs a day from fruits and veggies, not from grains. Again, I'm about 70% successful. What am I shooting for realistically? 80%. If I can eat 80% on track consistently...that will be a great place from which to fine tune and attain the goal of eliminating more processed foods. All at once? yeah. that works for about 2 hours for me. What seems to be working? Consistently (3x I've said that now) adding more veggies and reducing grains/processed foods. Replacing grains with veggies. Walking away from the sugar.
This is National "Lab" week and of course, I work in a lab. What does that mean? Food! I should say, Carbs! Today, pizza. Instead, I ran home for an early lunch of a giant salad with lots of chicken and veggies (new fave: Trader Joe's "Healthy 8" - prechopped mix of broccoli, cabbages, radishes, jicama, etc - great for tossing in a salad!) and so far I have avoided the lure of the aroma of pepperoni wafting up the stairs....Tomorrow? Sub sandwiches. I will likely try the same tactic to avoid the carb fest - eat my own salad right before food arrives so I won't be starving and dive in...
Water continues to be an issue. Working it, but it's an issue.
I've cut way, way back on diet soda. I would not say I am free of it, pretty much have at least one drink out of my partner's cup a day, but I no longer buy my own and now I'm working on not pouring my own at home either - just because she drinks it doesn't mean I need to!
CPAP usage: 85%. I'm pretty darn proud of that one! I might miss one night a week on the weekend from falling asleep before I put it on...but otherwise, it's on every night and I can FEEL the difference!
Weight? Exactly the same: 244. Nope, no change. Haven't measured in around a month. Not in any hurry to either. I get on the scales maybe once a week, or every other week. Doing this is about feeling better. YES, I want to lose weight, but....the scale is my quickest tool to sabotage myself so, no. Just say no....
That's it! I've been lurking around SP all this time, watching my friend feed - I'm watching you friends, LOL! Just too busy to post much or do much else on the site.
i'm working it though!!
Strength training 2x this week: Check
Walking: Check
Lower back spasm: Check.
Sigh. The back thing...ugh. I knew the week we went to tacoma I was in mild pain. The week before I'd sat on my keister beading, beading and beading. Then we had a 6 hour car trip, followed by two days of sitting and judging categories, followed by the 6 hour car trip home - back to my job where I... sit. What's the worst thing for a chronic back injury? Sitting. So Monday I was really feeling it and by Tuesday? Spasm. Typically, this would have ended with me being flat on my back with muscle relaxants for a week.
I can't afford the time off. So, instead:
Ice. Ibuprofen. Rolling the affected area on the floor with a tennis ball and a knotted rope dog toy, LOL - works surprising well! Walking. Getting up out of my chair every 30 min for a lap or two around our floor at work. Repeat.
Is it all better? no, but it is improving and with no lost time from work or muscle relaxants. Let's cross our fingers it continues to go the right direction here - I have a LOT of stuff coming to a deadline, and being injured is putting it on hold in a big way.
But, I'm working it. I'm working on strength, on walking, zumba etc. One day at a time.
Yesterday was my 49th birthday. I woke up with a fire in my heart that in a year, when I turn 50....I want to have changed my body.
I'm still stuck at 244.
I had weeks I was well on track. 244.
I had weeks I was so tired and stressed I ate what I wanted. 244
I skipped weighing all together for two weeks and after that? 244.
I look a little different - some measurements have shifted. But I'm still definitely morbidly obese and still physically miserable at this weight.
So, what to do differently? In no specific order, my thoughts on the subject:
1. Consistency. In what I eat, in what I do.
2. Track my food.
3. Replace other beverages with water. (I have reduced my diet coke consumption by about 50%...now working on that last half)
4. Body weight exercises
5. Keep dogging that 10K steps a day - get to it, and stay there or increase it!
6. Work on stress levels
That's it for today. My last goal? To spark daily. Being on site keeps me motivated and focused.
This is my dance partner and I performing this weekend at a bellydance competition in the troupe/duet category:
This is me on the far right with a big smile, because we WON! 1st place out of five groups!
This competition has been my major focus for three months, and the last three weeks I have done nothing but work and bead that costume. The last week, I did no zumba or other exercise, I beaded, LOL.
Whew. Glad to have a good result for all that time!
The other amazing thing? I was the largest woman in that category. Some of them were tiny barbie dolls, a couple were more curvy, but I was the largest. And yet, we won.
That is a success for every fat chick, in my book.
Now...back to zumba. Back to walking. Back to eating clean. I remain, believe it or not, at 244. Despite having eaten whatever I really wanted the last two weeks due to intense stress (lot more than the competition going on, sadly, in that regard).
Today when I stepped on the scale, I thought really?? 244, still? I'm beginning to think it's broken, LOL. I was asked more than once this weekend tho, how much weight I've lost. That means those measurements don't lie. I HAVE lost some inches.
Back to regular posting and the pursuit of health, as of today. :)
I've been MIA....beading, beading and more beading. Costume is finally done, aside of a bit of finishing work. I'll try to post pics of the complete costume soon, but below are some in progress pics from last week. I spent literally 18 hours last weekend, and up to 3 hours a day on weekdays the last two weeks.
Cardio, steps, exercise, all have suffered. I tell people - you can do everything you want, just not at the same time. In this case, the exercise had to take a back seat to finishing this costume on time.
Every bead and every sequin....hand sewn. I think, no kidding, I passed the 120 hours mark sometime mid week - I lost count. At LEAST 120 hours. Possibly closer to 150 hours.
Competition is this weekend in Tacoma, Washington. Finally feel ready to go and have some FUN. I'd like to place in the competition, but more than anything I'm looking forward to having some fun and seeing old friends. Back to the business of steps, cardio and health on Monday.
I signed up for a 10K on Labor Day. I haven't done more than a 5K in many years, so it's a good "next step". :)

Lifestream Lyrics - Dream On, Dreamer
I see the world as an entire
When I'm most alone.
I'll walk a mile,
Just to take the throne.
We all have one wing,
But together we can fly away
I see myself doubting everything,
And everyone because it's you
I sing this song to now.
I'll walk alone as this is what life's like now.
The cold will never be so cold, this is because of you
This is because of you.
There's no life with clean breaks.
Or no chance we can't take.
Forgiveness lies too deep
To be vanished away.
So flawless from the outside.
Never trust a stranger.
Farewell to our hearts
Remember the so called desire
A brand new spirit destiny,
Won't let my mind play tricks on me.
Closed chapters, opened curtains
To let myself be focused.
Through coldest nights we found ourselves marching.
Summer nights were meant to save us,
And stop us from aching.
I don't need another tragic ending,
No time for precious glorifying.
What's left in me will be better shortly.
I learnt too much, I've seen it all
Was love suppose to feel like this?
I can only run away
Let my past drown inside of me.
Let go and leave it all behind.
There's no life with clean breaks.
No chance we can't take.
Forgiveness lies to deep
To be vanished away.
When you piece it all together
Fragments of affection, come crawling back together
It will never stop unless you make it,
And grab the chances you have so take it.

America's Most Haunted: The Secrets of Famous Paranormal Places
By Theresa Argie and Eric Olsen (2014)
There are books that people will love that others will hate for entirely distinct reasons. This is one of those books.
I categorize America's Most Haunted as a paranormal true believer's travel guide to "must see" places that are totally overhyped and banking on any paranormal popularity they can get. The authors count down ten locations that they have researched. There is no introduction to the book so it is not clear how or why they picked these ten, but according to their accounts and those of several contributors familiar with the sites, these are "tried and true" places for paranormal activity.
The book also has no table of contents, index OR references. No references means I can not care less about the stories inside – they are worthless as nonfiction, OK as entertainment. In that respect, the stories succeed because they are entertaining but they are often absurd in what we are asked to accept as true. The book is far more well-written than typical local ghost story collections. However, being well crafted does not make the stories any more reliable.
I have a fundamental problem with "stories". As a collection of anecdotes, the reader has no way to assess if they are verifiable or accurate to any degree. Yet, people make serious assumptions from stories. No doubt many readers will swallow these outrageous stories of "it happened to me" without a critical thought.

Love Wine and Tea? Scientists Discover Plant Part Whence Their Pucker Springs
January 12th, 2014 | 4
When you take a sip of red wine or black tea, you're swallowing a stiff swig of tannins. These astringent plant chemicals give the beverages their characteristic pucker. Now, the part of plant cells that makes and transports tannins — long overlooked by botanists — has at last been discovered, hiding right under our noses. [...]Keep reading »
Shooting the messenger: small RNA as a target for antibiotics
All living cells contain DNA; the code for producing every protein needed by the cell. As DNA is important it needs to be kept safe.

Fussy eaters: the favoured food of Salmonella
As antibiotic resistance increases the search for new anti-bacterial treatments becomes more and more important.

Guestbook comments from the manager
We had a wonderful stay in your home. It was beautiful and well-supplied and it was perfect for our Sunday evening family reunion kick-off dinner. Your binder of instructions and information was very helpful. You must have spent hours putting it together.
Thanks for making our week there so pleasant and restful. We particularly enjoyed the view from the deck and loved the opportunity to get some close up hummingbird viewing.
P.S. My husband and son say the golf was great - they purchased a 10-round punch pass and used them all.

Hmmm, I really have not been and done much BUT- in MHO you are not missing anything,but do try oysters
with someone who really knows them(the shellfish) As to Aruba baby beach is recommended, and it ie very
easy, but was cloudy water. Teh natural aquaria have a bit too much current and the wrecks are not really
for beginners either- ifyou have a good size group try the pirate sailing cruise for snorkeling- but bring your
own drinks- the food was wonderful but I cannot stand those cheap alcohol beverages they serve. If you are
good with the internet there are Aruba based sites to hear where to eat and where to dive, I do not recall
seeing a snorkel discussion, but for experienced snorkellers the wreck by the lighthouse(no I am NOT going to
stay up any later googling the name) is fantastic on top. Well it was years ago when the family flew down

Good Food Near East Hanover/Livingston?
- y
- YllowMstrd Nov 25, 2013 03:52 PM
Hi Everyone!
Is there any good food in the above mentioned area? Doesn't seem like it!!! Everything that use to be alright (Godfather's on Rt. 10, Nana's Deli) isn't so great anymore (at least imho) We're looking for simple places for lunch/dinner. Open to all cuisines except fast food/chain restaurants and we have two pizza places, so probably don't need recommendations for that... Prices under $15 per entree (yes I know that can be tough).
Any ideas?
Il Ripasso is an Italian restaurant near Shop Rite that we find above average and friendly.
Coco Bello is Italian, above average food, but quite loud.
Our new fave is Summit Thai on Rt. 10 in East Hanover.
Livingston is a culinary disappointment, speaking as a native son. Go to Montclair or NYC if you want a good meal.
re: scarlet knight
Thank you - yes it is a total disappointment...sorry you feel the same.
Will try the Thai and will take a look at Coco Bello's menu. I actually found Il Ripasso to be awful, but we went on a holiday which probably didn't help-
re: scarlet knight
Just ate in Summit Thai tonight and it was very good.
re: bropaul
Finally got there. Really good - very surprised for a strip mall - for some reason wasn't expecting anything amazing. But delicious!
re: YllowMstrd
Whew! I am always glad when a place I recommend get a favorable review. Must get there again soon.
re: bropaul
re: coldbeer
Lol yes, very basic but I had forgotten about them...
re: harrison
Good suggestions but do they fit the budget?
re: harrison
Really? And it's good...hmm...hard to imagine but willing to try...
Never heard of Chef Jon - will take a look
re: harrison
1+ on the Chef Jon recommendation. You should note that this is not the place for your typical Americanized Chinese food. This place specializes in Shanghai cuisine, and it is best to stick with those items on the menu. Their Americanized classics are not that great, the Shanghai items are top notch though. Entrees range from $10.95 to 16.95, with a few specialty items running higher. IIRC the most expensive item on their menu was a $25.95 whole sea bass that easily feeds several.
re: harrison
We had lunch at Tomo Cuisine last week. The miso soup and salads were great. We are sushi newbies, so ordering was haphazard. My wife chose 5 sushi specials from the specials board. The presentation was bare. I had chirashi, which was pretty good. My wife then had Nabeyaki Udon, which was very good.
Service was attentive and the bill was reasonable.
If we lived nearby, we would go there again and get to know the menu better.
re: Anonimo
Yes we've tried Tomo a few times. Bare bones, but all the times we went the fish was exceptional. Better than Masa in Allendale which was our go-to for a very long time.
We thought Il Ripasso was pretty good. There is another restaurant nearby called Il Vicolo, which we have not enjoyed. I confuse them, but Ripasso wins IMO. Give Ripasso another chance on a normal night and let me know what you think of Summit Thai.
We like the food, atmosphere, staff and price point.
re: scarlet knight
Yes I've tried both. Vicolo definitely worse. We'll try Ripasso again based on your rec...will let you know as far as Summit Thai - probably try this weekend- Thanks!
Check out Sweet Basil's Cafe in Livingston. http://www.sweetbasilscafe.com/menu.htm
They also do an excellent brunch menu.
Thanks everyone. In terms of Tomo - looks very authentic and simple which we would love - even if beyond price point which it obviously is. Is Tomo as good as all the reviews seem to say?
re: scarlet knight
Thanks - spoke with a number of friends and they shared they had poor experiences there...willing to try though.
re: scarlet knight
I was there for a party recently and the buffet they put together was very nice. I've only been there for brunch otherwise -- and the brunches I went to were at the West Orange location.
If you're in the mood for a good Jewish Deli, there is always Eppes Essen in Livingston. Delicious pastrami and corned beef. I love their Matzoh Ball soup. When I go for lunch, I usually order the MB soup and split a sandwich with my companion, as they are quite large. Although it has been a while, the last time I ordered a sandwich with turkey, the turkey was "off the bone", not a processed, pressed, molded blob. Love the pickles and coleslaw they bring out to your table right after you are seated.
re: PuniceaRana
Thanks! My family actually loves the place, but for some reason I'm not a huge fan. I don't really eat meat anymore, so that's probably part of it - lol. But I do remember their pastrami and corned beef being great-
re: PuniceaRana
My family has been going to Eppes Essen for more than 20 years and I always wanted to love the place, but for some reason it just never seemed that good to me.
re: creamfinger
Eppes Essen is just ok. If I'm in the mood for deli, I go to Goodmans, on Springfield Ave. in Berkely heights.

Pocket Hunter
2 - 2
Pocket Hunter
Pocket Hunter
This patented product was uniquely designed to convert a standard Marksman #3040 Model slingshot into a slingshot capable of shooting standard size arrows for fishing and hunting. The Pocket Hunter was designed to provide a sleek, compact, lightweight, and efficient hunting unit that can folded and easily carried in a backpack, bug out bag, survival kit, or even on your belt. Use your Pocket Hunter and the fishing spool to bowfish with. Remove the adapter and use it as a slingshot with standard hunting bands to capture potential food sources and ensure your sustainability. The Pathfinder Pocket Hunter is the hottest in survival gear.
At a closer look, you will clearly see the smooth surfaces, the rounded edges, and rounded tips of the arrow rest, the 3 distinct sitting locations, thus allowing the hunter to hold the Pocket Hunter at an angle and still be able to accurately site the intended target.
The Pathfinder School recognized that carrying standard size arrows in your pack would be inconvenient, if not impossible, that is why the Pathfinder 3 piece Take Down Arrows (sold separately) are a perfect complement to the Pocket Hunter. With a 40lb pull at a 28 inch draw, the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter and 3 Piece Take Down Arrows are the ultimate in survival tools.
Safety Instructions:
When using the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter, always be mindful of ricochet and always wear protective eye-gear. Before each shot, inspect the hunting bands for wear, brittleness, tears, or other signs of wear or breaking. Replace damaged or worn bands immediately! Do not use the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter until all these safety guidelines are met first!
Do not dry fire the pocket hunter or shoot steel shot, rocks, etc. without taking the adapter off first!
Kit Includes:
•Marksman #3040 slingshot.
•Pocket Hunter Adapter with fishing spool and cap.
•Standard Hunting Band (42lb at 28" draw), leather pouch with Paracord installed.
•1 extra Hunting Band, leather pouch with Paracord.
•OD Green, 2 pocket canvas pouch.
•Instructions for use.

Pokemon Bashing
Mewtwo Lives
November 17th, 2014
Dogasu @ 07:50 JST -- There are a number of rumors about this franchise that people just sort of accept and take at face value despite a lack of clear evidence one way or the other. One such rumor is the supposed death of Philip Bartlett.
The rumor goes that Mr. Bartlett, whose real name is Jay Goede, passed away after providing the voice of Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back and was therefore replaced by Dan Green for the TV special sequel Mewtwo Returns. There was never really any proof of his death and a lot of people - myself included - just sort of took this information at face value. Old VA died and so Dan Green takes over. Makes sense, right?
A post made a few days ago over at behind the voice actors tells of how Mr. Bartlett is actually very much alive and was willing to speak with the poster about various things. He talks about his supposed death, what it was like to record the movie ("I just remember spending a lot of time recording...about 2 or 3 days"), how he was also the voice of Dr. Fuji and how surreal it was to play both the creator and the creation, and how he believes his ego was the reason he didn't get asked to come back to reprise the role for Mewtwo Returns. I found it to be an extremely fascinating read and I don't even like the dub!
Special thanks to PockyAddict over at the Bulbagarden Forums for the tip.
Yanaga Kazuko, 1947 - 2014
November 16th, 2014
Dogasu @ 22:50 JST -- I'm a little bit late with this news but I want to post it anyway: we've lost another voice actor.
Yanaga Kazuko (弥永和子) passed away on November 1st from Sepsis, according to an announcement made earlier in the month by her talent agency 81 Produce. She was 67 years old. Ms. Yanaga was born on April 14th, 1947 in Fukuoka Prefecture and was married to fellow voice actor Otsuka Houchuu. Ms. Yanaga is famous for being the dub-over actor for the Japanese dubs of movies featuring Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, and Jamie Lee Curtis, among others.
In Pocket Monsters Ms. Yanaga provided the voice of Kaneyo, the rich woman who owned the Buru that would eventually follow our heroes throughout the Jouto region. She was the only character Ms. Yanaga voiced for the series.
Condolences to Ms. Yanaga's family and friends. May she rest in peace.
"Diancie and the Destruction of My Faith in the Dub"
November 15th, 2014
Dogasu @ 08:48 JST -- Last Saturday was a dark day for the English dub. Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction aired on Cartoon Network and...sigh.
The Japanese Blu-ray won't be out for another month or so but in the meantime I've written up a preliminary comparison between the uncut Japanese version and the English hackdub.
Pokémon the movie XY Exhibit
November 8th, 2014
Dogasu @ 17:41 JST -- This is one of those updates that's been about 95% ready to go for a few months now but am only just now posting for some reason.
This past summer there was a special exhibit over at the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower here in Tokyo called "Pokémon the movie XY Exhibit." The exhibit, which commemorated the release of Pokemon the Movie XY "The Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie" and "Pikachu, What is This the Key To?," was like one massive giant love letter to every Pocket Monsters film to date. It had everything an animation fan like myself could want: overviews of each of the movies, original production artwork, character sketches, background paintings, and a Pikachu Café selling special Pikachu-shaped food.
Tonight I've finished writing up my report on the exhibit and would like to share it with you. I go over what was displayed, how everything was set up, and what it was like to eat a parfait made to look like Pikachu. I hope you enjoy!
The exhibit's been over for a while now but hopefully it'll re-open again at some point in the future. Fingers crossed!
Pocket Monsters Special
October 21st, 2014
Dogasu @ 23:32 JST -- A new chapter of Pocket Monsters Special came out yesterday so I've typed up the usual summary for it and added it to the Manga Guide:
Also, a reminder that the first volume of the re-release of the Ruby & Sapphire Chapter of Pocket Monsters Special hits stores this Friday, October 24th.
"Pokemon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion" & "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom"
October 20th, 2014
Dogasu @ 17:58 JST -- Two new manga series started in the issue of CoroCoro Comics that went on sale last week and so tonight I bring you synopses of the first chapters of both Pokemon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom.
Detailed plot synopses of both chapters as well as a bunch of Character Bios have been added to the Manga Guide. The promos for next month's CoroCoro Comics are saying that there will be 64 pages of this Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire manga in the December 2014 issue so I'm guessing that means that each chapter will be 32 pages apiece.
"Pokemon Radio Show! The Rocket-Dan's Secret Empire" probably isn't coming back after all
October 18th, 2014
Dogasu @ 01:49 JST -- Mima Masafumi (三間雅文), the sound director for Pocket Monsters and the man responsible for getting the excellent "Pokemon Radio Show! The Rocket-Dan's Secret Empire" radio show off the ground, posted a few tweets early last month saying that he was working on a proposal for a possible second season of said radio show. He posted a picture of what we can assume is the proposal along with a message stating that he was going to get input from the Rocket-Dan('s voice actors) before turning it in. Yesterday morning he was asked for updates on how that all went:
Unfortunately it seems like we won't be getting a second season of the radio show after all and it seems like at least part of the reason the proposal was rejected was because of money?
If there are any updates on this or any other Rocket-Dan event in the future then I'll be sure to post about them here.
"The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon"
October 12th, 2014
Dogasu @ 10:37 JST -- Today is a very special day in the history of the Pokémon dub. Today "Summer of Discovery!", the 416th episode that The Pokémon Company International (formerly Pokémon USA) has released since taking over production of the English dub back in 2006, premiered on Cartoon Network. Now for simplicity's sake I'm only including the regular TV episodes and am ignoring things like movies, TV specials, Pokémon Origins, or anything else extra for the moment.
During 4Kids' run on the show, they dubbed 416 episodes (eight seasons with 52 episodes apiece). Again, I'm not counting the movies, "Beauty and the Beach," TV specials, Pokémon Chronicles, or any of the other extra stuff they dubbed over the years. Just regular TV episodes.
Which means that we now have one week before the number of episodes starring Sarah Natochenny as Ash Ketchum outnumbers those starring Veronica Taylor.
This is a big milestone for the English version and not one that I wanted to miss so I decided to go back and compare the first thing TPCI ever dubbed, "The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon," to see how things started.
How was TPCI's first stab at the franchise? Have they gotten any better in the eight years since then? Was this special a sign of things to come? How many pages of the message board review threads from when this special first came out can you get through before wanting to close your laptop and throw it out the window? Let's find out!
Kayumi Iemasa, 1933 - 2014
October 9th, 2014
Dogasu @ 22:43 JST -- I hate having to add another name to the "list of voice actors we've lost" but unfortunately tonight I'll be doing just that.
Kayumi Iemasa (家弓家正) passed away on September 30th, according to an announcement made yesterday by his talent agency 81 Produce. He was 80 years old. Mr. Kayumi had been voice acting since the 1950s and has been in everything from Tetsuwan Atom ("Astro Boy") to Jungle Emperor Leo ("Kimba the White Lion") to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind to Dragon Ball Z to One Piece. He also provided the voices of Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Stewart in the Japanese dubs of their films, among others.
In Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl Mr. Kayumi provided the voice of Nanakamado-Hakase. The professor was the only character Mr. Kayumi voiced for the series.
Condolences to Mr. Kayumi's family and friends. May he rest in peace.
It looks like these DVDs might be *puts on sunglasses*...JYNXED
October 7th, 2014
Dogasu @ 22:46 JST -- Let's look at some of the digital versatile discs coming out in the next few months.
This year's movie The Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie and its accompanying Pikachu short Pikachu, What is This the Key To? will be headed to Blu-ray and DVD here in Japan on December 17th, 2014. Both releases will be two disc sets that include the Diancie short Princess Diancie of the Ore Kingdom as well as the textless opening / production artwork extras you've come to expect from these releases. The cover art has not been revealed yet.
Over in the U.S., meanwhile, Viz Media is re-re-releasing the Kanto episodes for those of you who missed them every other time they've been released. They re-released the first DVD box set back in November and so now, almost a year later, they're going to re-release the second and third box sets. They're also releasing one massive nine-disc set that will contain 78 Kanto episodes for the insanely low MSRP of $54.98 (that's like 70 cents per episode).
Here's the thing, though. There are actually 80 dubbed episodes in the Kanto saga. One of them is "Beauty and the Beach" but that's a special episode and so that's not going to be included here for various reasons. The other one, and the one I think is missing from both the third box set and the "All 78 Episodes" set, is "Holiday Hi-Jynx." The 2008 release of that third box set had 27 episodes but this 2014 re-release only has 26, making me think that they've removed the episode starring the blackface pokemon because controversy. "Holiday Hi-Jynx" and every other episode featuring the Ice-Type ("Pokémon Stage Fight" and "The Mandarin Island Miss Match") are also missing from Netflix and Pokemon.com so it's not like this is totally unexpected.
The omission of "Holiday Hi-Jynx" hasn't been 100% confirmed yet but I think it's highly likely.
The DVD Guide has been updated accordingly.
New Pokemon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire series starting in this month's CoroCoro
October 6th, 2014
Dogasu @ 06:55 JST -- Two new manga series will be starting up in the issue of CoroCoro Comics that goes on sale next week.
The new series are called Pokemon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion & Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom and it seems like they'll both be running in CoroCoro Comics concurrently. This hasn't been confirmed yet but I imagine this will be one of those six chapter deals that'll eventually get printed into a single graphic novel collection early next year. Everything I could find out about the series based on its seven page preview and subsequent online searches has been added to my section on the series, from information about the author to character bios to a synopsis of the aforementioned preview.
Pocket Monsters Special
October 1st, 2014
Dogasu @ 23:56 JST -- Tonight I'd like to catch up on the chapters of Pocket Monsters Special that I've missed over the last two months:
The December 2014 issue of CoroCoro Ichiban! will go on sale October 20th, 2014. The next issue of Pokemon Fan, on the other hand, will apparently go on sale sometime in November (I've heard November 20th but haven't been able to confirm that yet). Rumor has it that Issue 40 will come out in February 2015.
In other news the official Pocket Monsters Special site has also announced that they will be re-releasing the Ruby & Sapphire chapters later this month. The Fourth Chapter, which Mr. Yamamoto mentions is one of their more popular storylines, will be re-released as part of Shogakukan's special "My First Series" (マイファーストシリーズ) line of convenience store graphic novels. The first volume goes on sale October 24th and will be 376 pages; for comparison's sake Volume 15 is only 198 pages and Volume 16 is 190 pages. The entirety of the Ruby & Sapphire arc will be printed across four volumes and they should all be out before the end of December.
Also the second XY graphic novel collection will come out on November 28th, 2014, which will probably cover everything up to the aforementioned December 2014 issue of CoroCoro Ichiban!
Finally, this happened to me today, so yay.
"The Castle Beneath the Sea! Kuzumo and Dramidoro!!" has a new airdate
September 25th, 2014
Dogasu @ 23:22 JST -- TV-Tokyo posted this earlier tonight:
Here's a translation:
So! It looks like the episode will finally air after the dancing Yancham episode.
It'll be interesting to see if the episode is edited to fit in the way "The Fishing Sommelier Dent Enters!!" was back in Best Wishes!. It'll also be interesting to see if the alleged screenshots posted by that random Korean Twitter user show up in the actual episode.
I've updated the A timeline of the events leading up to / following the skipped Kuzumo episode page.
"Pokemon Radio Show! The Rocket-Dan's Secret Empire" Season 2?!
September 24th, 2014
Dogasu @ 16:41 JST -- Back on September 6th Mima Masafumi, the sound director for everything that has to do with the Pocket Monsters animated series, tweeted the following:
"Pokemon Radio Show! The Rocket-Dan's Secret Empire" was a 30-minute radio show that aired every Sunday evening from July 1st to December 23rd 2012. The show was hosted by voice actors Hayashibara Megumi (Musashi), Miki Shinichirou (Kojirou), and Inuyama Inuko (Nyasu) and featured guest interviews with other voice actors, hilarious little radio dramas, product placements, an artwork corner, and whatever other random stuff they decided to air. The show was performed entirely in-character and was fantastic.
CDs featuring a lot of the material that was on the radio show went on sale in the first half of 2013.
A second tweet added some more details:
Later, Mr. Mima was asked about the possibility of another event like the Secret Live they had back in 2013. He responds by saying that he was only the supervisor for the previous event and reminds us that the Rocket-Dan are poor and so there's a limit to what they can do. He also talked about the possiblity of having maybe two or three events instead of just the one to give people more chances to attend but wasn't able to promise anything.
The previous radio show took a year and a half to organize but hopefully we won't have to wait that long this time around.
There was a CD that came out in 2003 that lists "Dogas" as one of the artists THAT IS AMAZING
September 23rd, 2014
Dogasu @ 23:24 JST -- Tonight I turn my attention to music and the various music CDs that will be coming up in the near future.
The two big ones coming out are the Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire soundtrack and the The Big Fray - Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U Specially Selected Sound Test. The Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire soundtrack will be a whopping six disc beast that contains both the music from the 3DS remake and the entirety of the original Ruby & Sapphire GBA soundtrack that was released in Japan back in 2003. (Oh, by the way, I just created a whole page for all the CDs released in the year 2003 so check that out if you have a chance) It'll also come with a 28-page booklet, as these things tend to do, that includes an interview with the sound team, various production sketches, and liner notes from the people responsible for producing the game's music. It comes out in Japan on December 3rd for 3000 yen. I imagine an international iTunes release will be coming shortly after but nothing's been confirmed at this time.
The Smash Brothers CD set doesn't have a release date at the moment but I imagine it'll come out after the Wii U version of the game is released since you have to have registered both the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U versions of the game to your Club Nintendo account in order to get it. A full track list hasn't been made available yet but I'm sure it'll include a Pokemon song or two. Those songs, according to the in-game Sound Test, are:
I've also added information about a sneakily released Matsumoto Rika CD called O Thanks that came out last month featuring her doing a cover of the Manaphy movie ending theme. I loved the Sowelu original and I haven't heard the Matsumoto Rika version yet but I'm sure I'll love it just as much because Matsumoto Rika is amazing.
Numbers Game
September 21st, 2014
Dogasu @ 10:15 JST -- So I went back and looked up how The Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie did its fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth weeks in theaters and updated the box office performance section of my page dedicated to the movie. Long story short: it stayed at eighth place for three weeks and then ended placing at tenth place in its final week. Last week it didn't make the top ten at all.
Box office figures - as in how much money the movie's been making each week - hadn't been made available for weeks now and the number we got at the beginning of August is the most recent one I was able to find. A search online came up with a random commenter stating a 2.5 billion yen earnings as of August 28th but I have no idea where this person is getting his or her information. If that is true, though, it means that this year's movie made even less than last year's movie (it earned around 2.8 billion) despite the fact that every other "first film in a new series" has done better than the one that came before it. Some Internet commenters are blaming the decline in ticket sales to the popularity of mega-hit Yokai Watch; it is the hot new thing right now and a lot of kids probably see Pocket Monsters as old and tired in comparison. I work at a Japanese preschool here in Tokyo and from what I've gathered from the kids I work with that might very well be the case.
In happier news, The Big Fray Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS managed to sell a million copies in its first weekend, so that's awesome. Also Dogas returns to the game as an enemy character in the Smash Run mode after not appearing in the series since the original Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 so I'm pretty happy about that.
About "The Castle Beneath the Sea! Kuzumo and Dramidoro!!" airing in Korea
September 17th, 2014
Dogasu @ 17:23 JST -- During my extended and unannounced hiatus news popped up about the episode "The Castle Beneath the Sea! Kuzumo and Dramidoro!!" airing in Korea.
The story goes that the episode, which was scheduled to air in Japan back in April but didn't because of the tragic sinking of the MV Sewol ferry the week before, just all of a sudden popped up on Korean TV the night of August 8th. The episode supposedly aired at 6:30pm on an IPTV channel that doesn't usually air Pocket Monsters.
Here's the problem I have with all of this, though; it's been over a month since the episode allegedly aired. Why don't we have any detailed summaries, high quality screenshots, or video clips from the episode? Why isn't 해저의 성을 지켜라! 수레기와 드래캄, the reported Korean title of the episode, up on any torrent site? Why should we trust this random Twitter user that none of us know? Why do we still only know as much about the episode now as we did back on August 7th?
This all seems very suspicious to me. Right now the only "proof" we have that this episode aired are a couple of photos taken by somebody on Twitter. And I'm sorry, but "I read it on the Internet" isn't enough for me.
I've updated the timeline page I have for the skipped episode with everything I was able to dig up about this alleged airing.
Pocket Monsters XY Special "The Greatest Mega Evolution ~ Act II ~"
September 16th, 2014
Dogasu @ 22:36 JST -- TV-Tokyo's page for the Pocket Monsters XY Special The Greatest Mega Evolution ~ Act II ~ was updated yesterday and so I thought now was as good a time as any to finally get a page up for it on this site.
I've taken every piece of information there is on the official site and translated it. I've also gotten a new character bio up for Daigo, the Champion of the Houen Region. I wasn't a fan of the first special (bland characters engaging in a bunch of random battles just doesn't do it for me) but hopefully this one will actually have a plot and will be more interesting. Fingers crossed!
"The Battle of the Badge!"
September 15th, 2014
Dogasu @ 21:16 JST -- Oh hey, I have a website, apparently!
Sorry for the unannounced absence. Rushing around the U.S. and then trying to get settled back in Japan has kept me a lot busier than I expected. I have a ton to catch up on (OMG "The Rocket-Dan's Secret Empire" Season 2!!!!!) but I wanted to start things off by giving you guys a brand new episode comparison. Here's what was changed for the episode released in the U.S. as "The Battle of the Badge!"
This episode is one that's been requested many times over the years and contains quite a few notable differences that people are still confused about to this day. There's also some interesting things in there about how this episode not airing when it was supposed to led to a brand new opening to Mewtwo Strikes Back that wasn't going to be there originally. It's definitely worth a read!
I've unfortunately had to deactivate the site's Facebook page for the time being but I hope to be able to have it back up in a couple of days. In the meantime you can still leave feedback on Twitter, that thread up on Bulbagarden, or via e-mail.

Angry Birds speakers + stand from Gear4 to land in stores this September
Summary: As if you don't already spend enough time looking at the Red Bird, Helmet Pig or Black Bird everyday, here are 3 new Angry Birds docking stations from Gear4 for $90 and up.
Landing on a desk near you this September: an Angry Bird speakers and stand from Gear4, the U.K.-based accessory maker that first brought you Angry Bird cases for iOS devices. Now that this game is widely available on everything from Android phones and tablets, within Web browsers and on televisions, Gear4 and Rovio are expanding its range of accessories to become compatible with more devices than just iPods, iPhones and iPads.
The self-destructive star of the Rovio game is without a doubt the Red Bird, so it follows that the most compatible stand and speaker in this collection would be of that character. Basically, any device with a 3.5mm jack will be able to plug into the Red Bird's 2.1 speakers, and can rest on the crate-shaped stand designed for everything from MP3 players to tablets. The Red Bird version is the most affordable of the bunch at $89.99.
The Helmet Pig, on the other hand, is a dock and 2.1 speakers specifically designed for the everything from the iPod Classic to the iPhone 4. It looks like it has a slot on top of the helmet where you can insert your device and apparently comes with a remote control for the system. I hope the combination of the helmet and Green Pig's skinny little neck makes for a sturdy enough stand, because the docking station would make for a very costly real life re-enactment of the game at $119.99.
Like the Red Bird dock, the Black Bird dock also has a crate-shaped perch for devices, though this one is designed for the entire iOS line of devices including all iPods, iPhones and even iPads. Besides amplifying the music through its 2.1 speakers and offering remote control to the device, the Black Bird model serves a third function: it can charge the iPad. That is probably why this particular version is most expensive of all, with a retail price tag of $129.99.
No word yet on when these Angry Bird speakers and docs will be in stores but they should be available this September, in time to make some serious Angry Bird fans even more addicted this holiday season.

Best Lease Cars
As you probably already know, leasing provides much lower car payments than buying with a loan. However, unlike loan purchases, lease payments actually depend on the type of car and other factors. The cheapest lease may not be for the cheapest car. Let's explain.
What determines low lease payments?
First, let's look at how loan payments work. If we have two different cars (different makes and models) with the same price — say, a Ford and a Honda — and we have a loan for each, the monthly loan payments will be exactly the same, assuming same price, same loan terms, same buyer. The type or brand of car doesn't matter.
However, given the same two cars, same price, same buyer, lease payments will be different. Why is that, you might ask?
The reason is that one car's lease-end residual value will almost certainly be different that the other's. The car with the highest residual value will have the lowest monthly payment and be the cheapest to lease. In our example, Honda cars will generally have higher residuals than Fords, which makes Honda the cheapest to lease. See our for a table showing residual values for all car makes and models.
Sometimes car companies offer special promotional lease deals with artificially boosted residual values that make those vehicles great deals for the time of the promotion.
What is considered a cheap lease?
Based on emails we receive and other sources, it appears that most people consider a ver...
