Pillows were great, kitchenette facilities were great
The hallways were freezing, the beds weren't that comfortable, no extra blankets
The room set up and furnishings
Almost No parking available. And the air conditioner was so loud and hardly worked. Plumbing problems as well
My kids enjoyed the indoor pool. The price of the hotel was very reasonable for Labor Day weekend.
Our key card deactivated a couple of times because the lock battery was low. It was inconvenient to have to go down to the lobby to have it taken cared of, but the front desk took care of it quickly. Also, the toilet and sink got stopped up a couple times. Again, it was taken cared of, but it was a hassle. Housekeeping changed the linens, but we had to strip the bed to signify we wanted them changed on our 3rd night there. The other days, our beds were made with the same sheets.
The room was clean and comfortable Breakfast was decent, although I had to ask for the coupons in the morning as they forgot to give them to us when we checked in. Everyone was however friendly and there was plenty of parking spots on the hotel yard. The kitchen facilities seemed decent with micro, coffee maker and fridge.
There were still previous guests' garbage in the bathroom garbage can. There was some kind of party happening in the ball room and pool which seemed to cause some noise, but after it ended we got a good nights' sleep. The looks might be a bit dated, but for the price it's really not something to be bothered with.
The staff attended my needs and answer questions in a very friendly manner.It was clean and the food was good.
The staff in front desk is kind of cool blood, not understanding, not very friendly.
Very nice hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. All the facilities were clean and in excellent shape.
Pool had too much chlorine. Kids were crying of their pain on their eyes. Had to leave the hotel and purchase eye drops at Walgreens.
Comfort of the beds and room.
Just about everything! It was a lovely hotel. Enjoyed the special touches such as cucumber or lemon water at the elevators. The staff was exceptionally professional and accommodating.
price reasonable, room clean and modern
The facility was very nice, the breakfast was great and the room was clean and comfortable.
The check in desk staff made me feel like I was not welcome. I was not given information about my stay nor was I given coupons for the breakfast, I had to ask for everything.
Comfort, cleanliness and location.
The hotel staff were very friendly.
I made the reservation - online and asked for a hypoallergenic bedding, so it would be all set when I got to the hotel....Well, the hotel was not informed - even though I got online confirmation that they were...They did change the pillows and said the comforter was ok. The next morning I woke up with a huge rash and my wife said I was snoring, so I looked carefully at the bedding and looked up online what it was and sure enough it was goose down....just what I was worried about...So, I took my benedryl & within 2 hours I was ok....Grrrrr - but other than - the hotel was great.
Polite and attentive staff. Clean, spacious rooms with mini fridge and microwave. Public spaces are very attractive, especially the nice coffee shop near the lobby. The grounds are very attractively landscaped.
very thin walls. I could hear the people in the next room talking half of the night, children running up and down the hall at night. Room rate was to much for the service, will not stay again.
Very good staff. Breakfast was also very good.
Bathroom was extremely small. Bathtub and toilet in room but very confined area
The place is excellent nice and neat!!!
The bed pillows

- Relevant exception classes
8. Use Cases
For now I will only assume usage of the AGI interface. The story is that someone calls an asterisk
server (#1). The caller will hear a message describing what options they can choose from (#6).
Then this person wants to hear this message again (#9). When listening to it again (#11), he
chooses option 3 (sales) (#13), but no one is present (#17). As such, the caller is redirected to a
voicemail (#19). After having recorded the voicemail (#24) sales is sent an email that a voicemail is awaiting them (#24).
PHP shuts down (#26).
Asterisk: PHP
1. Asterisk receives a phone call
2. Asterisk starts the php application
3. PHP is started up.
4. Asterisk sends all the details of the
conversation (caller id, protocols used,
number dialed, etc)
5. The PHP app reads (stdin) all the parameters from stdin
5b. PHP tells asterisk to answer the call
6. The PHP app tells (stdout) asterisk to play ~/welcome.wav
7. Asterisk begins playing the welcome.wav file
8. PHP tells (stdout) asterisk its awaiting user input for a certain
amount of time (the length/duration of the wav file)
9. Asterisk doesn't receive any digits from the caller
As such tells php no numbers were pressed
10. The PHP app tells asterisk to play ~/welcome.wav (again)
11. Asterisk begins playing the welcome.wav file
12. PHP tells Asterisk it's awaiting user input.
and begin to wait for input on STDIN
13. Asterisk receives the number 3.
13. Asterisk tells php that the number 3 was pressed
14. PHP receives the nummero 3 from asterisk (STDIN)
15. PHP tells asterisk to forward the call/channel to
the extension of sales
16. Asterisk begins dialling the extension
17. PHP doesn't get confirmation the extension is answered.
tells Asterisk to stop dialling the extension
18 Asterisk stops dialling the extension
confirms the stop to php's stdin.
19. PHP tells asterisk to play ~/voicemail.wav
20. Asterisk plays the given file
21. When the file is done playing, Asterisk
confirms that to php.
22. PHP receives over STDIN that the file was done playing.
23. PHP tells to receive any further input to voicemail-xxx.wav
24. The user hangs up, asterisk tells php about it
25. PHP emails the salesmanager that there's a voicemail awaiting for him.
26. PHP tells asterisk (STDOUT) to close the channel
27. Asterisk hangs up PHP quits
Card 2 contents.

|25 acre (10 hectare)
Battery Park is a 25 acre (10 hectare) public park located at the Battery, the southern tip of Manhattan Island in New York City, facing New York Harbor. The Battery is named for the artillery batteries that were positioned there in the city's early years to protect the settlement behind them. At the north end of the park is Castle Clinton, the often repurposed last remnant of the defensive works which inspired the name of the park, the former fireboat station Pier A and Hope Garden, a memorial to AIDS victims. At the other end of the park is Battery Gardens restaurant, next to the United States Coast Guard Battery Building. Along the waterfront, Statue Cruises offers ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The park is also the site of the East Coast Memorial which commemorates U.S. servicemen who died in coastal waters of the western Atlantic Ocean during World War II, and several other memorials.
To the northwest of the park lies Battery Park City, a planned community built on landfill in the 1970s and 80s, which includes Robert F. Wagner Park and the Battery Park City Promenade. Together with Hudson River Park, a system of greenspaces, bikeways and promenades now extend up the Hudson shoreline. A bikeway might be built through the park that will connect the Hudson River and East River parts of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway. Across State Street to the northeast stands the old U.S. Customs House, now used as a branch of the National Museum of the American Indian and the district U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Peter Minuit Plaza abuts the southeast end of the park, directly in front of the South Ferry Terminal of the Staten Island Ferry.
The southern shoreline of Manhattan Island had long been known as the Battery, and was a popular promenade since at least the 17th century. At the time, it served as protection to the town.[1] The Battery was the center of Evacuation Day celebrations commemorating the departure of the last British troops in the United States after the American Revolutionary War. The relatively modern park was created by landfill during the 19th century, resulting in a landscaped open space at the foot of the heavily developed mainland of downtown. Skyscrapers now occupy most of the original land, stopping abruptly where the park begins. On State Street, the former harbor front and the northern boundary of the park, a single Federal mansion survives (photo, right) as the Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Until the 1820s, the city's stylish residential district lay north of this house, between Broadway and the "North River" (now known as the Hudson River).
Within the park lies Castle Clinton, an American fort built on a small artificial off-shore island immediately prior to the War of 1812 and named for mayor DeWitt Clinton. When the land of Battery Park was created, it encircled and incorporated the island.
According to data from the National Park Service, Castle Clinton was named the most popular National Park. Castle Clinton, site of the ticket office for ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, recorded nearly 4.08 million visitors in 2009.[2]
The fort became property of the city after the war and was renamed Castle Garden. Leased by the city, it became a popular promenade and beer garden. Later roofed-over, it became one of the premier theatrical venues in the United States and contributed greatly to the development of New York City as the theater capital of the nation.
"After a New York clipper had finished loading, it was the custom for her to drop down the East River and anchor off Battery Park, then a fashionable resort, where she would remain for a few hours to take her crew on board and usually to ship between five and ten tons of gunpowder ... The people who gathered at Battery Park to see a clipper ship get underway came partly to hear the sailors sing their sea songs, or chanties ... which originated early in the nineteenth century, with the Negro stevedores at Mobile and New Orleans ... As the ship pays off, and gathers way in the slack water, the longshoremen and runners tumble over the side into the Whitehall boats, the crowd at Battery Park gives three parting cheers, the ensign is dipped, and the clipper is on her way to Cape Horn."[3]
The migration of the city's elite uptown increased concurrently with the mass European emigration of the middle 19th century. As immigrants settled the Battery area, the location was less favorable to theater patrons and Castle Garden was closed. The structure was then made into the world's first immigration depot, processing millions of immigrants beginning in 1855 – almost 40 years before its successor, Ellis Island, opened its doors. This period coincided with immigration waves resulting from the Great Hunger in Ireland (a.k.a., "The Irish Famine") and other pivotal European events. The structure then housed the New York Aquarium until the 1940s, when it was threatened with destruction. It is currently a National Monument known again by its original name, and managed by the National Park Service. In addition to a small history exhibit and occasional concerts, the fort is the site where ferry tickets are sold to visit Liberty and Ellis islands.
Five months after being damaged but not destroyed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Fritz Koenig's The Sphere, which once stood at the center of the plaza of the World Trade Center a few blocks away, was reinstalled in a temporary location along Eisenhower Mall in the northern section of the park.
Hope Garden is a memorial dedicated to AIDS victims.[4] With its eternal flame the garden has also served as a temporary September 11 memorial, housing The Sphere.[5][6] The garden has also been used as a site for environmental demonstrations due to its fragility and status as a tourist attraction.[7]
Battery Park, due to its key location, has played an important role in the construction of transportation infrastructure. Under the park lies the following active infrastructure:
On December 8, 2005, New York City authorities announced that builders working on a new South Ferry subway station in Battery Park had found the remains of a 200-year-old stone wall.[8] After archaeological analysis, it was widely reported to be the oldest man-made structure still in place in Manhattan.
"This wall most likely is a portion of the gun batteries that once protected the city in the late 17th and 18th centuries and gave rise to the modern park name," said Robert Tierney, chairman of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The city and the New York City Transit Authority plan to work together to preserve the remains, which were described as "an important remnant of the history of New York City."
A total of four distinct walls and over 250,000 individual artifacts were found in the excavation of the South Ferry subway station. A portion of one wall was placed on temporary display inside Castle Clinton. In 2009, a long portion of wall was embedded permanently into the wall of the entrance to the newly constructed station.

Welll.... ok. So will add that but will also post the recipe for make your panties drop cake.

Well wouldn't ya know the minute I say everthing remains the same and all, some minds would change. Daughter has always for the last 20 years wanted a pineapple cheesecake, so then she decided on red and white dessert. Well then I was talking about my recipes from Scotland and said Trifle, and she said ohhhhhh haven't had a trifle in like forever so she wants a trifle, she wants a strawberry one. I have an authentic recipe, not an American one. I was stationed there in the Navy and one of the local ladies made one and I loved it and it is her recipe that she made on Hogmanay (New Years), so I will update the recipes and add these two recipes as soon as I can.
Gretchen H gcolie - Nov 16, 2013
I love trifle! I didn't know that was Scottish- thought it was English? I have no idea lol. Hope you post that one Cathy! We (women in the family) are still making last minute changes to our Thanksgiving menu.
Cathy Smith GrannyGrumpsTable - Nov 21, 2013
Miss Gretchen I would venture a guess to say it is originally English but I received my recipe from a nurse I worked with at the Navy base. Her name was Mary Walker and she was a lady of the finest kind. She gave me a few recipes. The thing is the recipe was not Americanized at all, it was written orinally in pints and kilograms etc, and they have "marks" on their ovens etc, so it would say bake in a tin at mark 4 etc. So I had to Americanize the amounts but otherwise it is from there and it is in its original form using sponge cake not gingerbread or devils food etc. One of my favorite things over there is they serve their berry cobblers and pies with a warm custard sauce instead of whipped cream or ice cream and it is divine. I wouldn't mind diving into a bathtub of the stuff.

The first thing that struck me was how short the game was. I understood it was an arcade-like shooter and expected the whole game to be cut up the way it was (into sniping missions duh), but a total of eight missions was pretty weak even for a time kill rental. I was actually impressed with the g...more

Chef Estes Makes the Final 10 — The Next Iron Chef Caption Itby Maria Russo in Shows, November 2nd, 2012
For Duskie Estes, the opportunity to compete on The Next Iron Chef didn't come easily. While the other nine rivals will face their first challenge during Sunday night's premiere, Chef Estes has already battled — and won — two cook-offs on the Road to Redemption, an online-only Web series that pitted four chefs against each other in a three-round competition. Ultimately, Chefs Madison Cowan, Robert Treviño and Lee Anne Wong fell, but Chef Estes proved herself worthy of Kitchen Stadium glory with winnings in Battle Coconut and Battle Pineapple, and she earned the right to join the cast of The Next Iron Chef.
In this sneak-peek shot from the Next Iron Chef premiere, Chef Estes is seen with a no-nonsense glare and blank expression as she eyes fellow competitor Chef Elizabeth Falkner. Has a twist in the competition caused these chefs to take the spirit of friendly competition too far? Will Chef Estes be able to maintain her focus in the face of week-one stress?
Before you tune in to the Next Iron Chef: Redemption premiere this Sunday at 9pm/8c to find out what has these ladies locked in a staring contest, we're challenging you, Next Iron Chef fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this eye-to-eye moment in the comments below.
Support your early-favorite rival chefs by casting your Fan Vote up to 10 times per day.

I notice the new abstract and introduction refer to the XKMS specification as specifying "protocols for distributing and registering public keys". Shouldn't it be "protocols for registering, locating and validating public key information"? We seem to have lost the location and validation in the abstract and introduction, and key distribution has a different implication. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia Mobile PhonesReceived on Thursday, 19 December 2002 10:46:57 GMT

It's important for people to know the myths and facts of dental health so they understand how to properly care for their teeth. For example, WebMD states that many people believe sugar causes cavities, when in reality it is the bacteria in the mouth feeding off of sugars in foods that leads to decay. Recently, The San Diego Union-Tribune published an article explaining some common myths about dental health that need to be dispelled.First, the news source points out that putting an aspirin next to a tooth is not an effective way to relieve pain."Placing an aspirin directly on your gum causes an ulceration of the tissue, commonly referred to as an aspirin burn. Aspirin can be effective as a pain reliever when taken as directed. However, no home remedy can replace the expertise of a dentist," writes the information provider.Also, while some individuals think that a little bit of bleeding in the gums while brushing is normal, it isn't. Bleeding gums could be the sign of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, or an indication that you're brushing too hard.Finally, it is a common misconception that dry mouth is only a problem for elderly individuals, when in reality it can happen at any age, may pose a serious threat to dental health and should be addressed by a dentist.

Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893.

Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Gaelic Storm
Saturday, February 14, 2015 at 7:30 PM Gaelic Storm Live in Concert Over the course of 10 albums and nearly 3,000 live shows, Gaelic Storm - the chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band - is dishing up a hearty serving of Full Irish - The Best of Gaelic Storm. The greatest-hits album spans the bulk of the band's career, mixing crowd favorites and concert staples with three previously unreleased recordings, including "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Irish Party in Third Class" from Titanic. The album features sea shanties and drinking songs, traditional tunes and Gaelic Storm originals, instrumental workouts and vocal showcases. Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic Storm has built a loyal following as diverse as the band's own music. Fans of traditional Irish music have championed the group for years, as have fans of harder-edged Celtic rock. On tour, Gaelic Storm is just as likely to play a large rock club as a plush theater. Gaelic Storm has straddled the line between tradition and innovation for nearly two decades, infusing traditional Celtic music with modern influences, and updating the genre for a new generation of fans raised on rock, country and folk. Along the way, the group has topped the Billboard World Chart four times and earned a reputation as a hard-touring, genre-bending band.

Strange error when installing npm package globally on Ubuntu
10th February 2014 | by Adam Beres-Deak | npm, ubuntu, node.js
Installing modules globally has never been a problem for me, neither on Windows nor on Ubuntu. At least until today, when I ran into a somewhat strange problem.
I tried to install the pm2 package on an Ubuntu 12.04 Server (
sudo npm install -g pm2@latest), but the package just didn't want to install correctly. I kept getting gyp error messages and this one: "OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied". I thought it was impossible to get this error since I was running the install command as root (sudo).
Installing modules with the unsafe-perm flag
And after a while I found the solution: using the unsafe-perm flag.
sudo npm install -g pm2@latest --unsafe-perm
What the docs say about this flag:
If npm was invoked with root privileges, then it will change the uid to the user account or uid specified by the user config, which defaults to nobody. Set the unsafe-perm flag to run scripts with root privileges.
And it worked for me like a charm!
Honestly, I have to admit, that it is not 100% clear to me, why it made any difference in this case. I suspect that it was because of gyp. Does anybody maybe have a better explanation?

Global Agenda is barely two months out of launch, and the game is continuing to grow rapidly. Hi-Rez Studios announced today that they have added a new server to accommodate that growth and open the Global Agenda to more players around the world.
The new servers are located in Singapore, and will provide access to those in the Pacific Rim who have been interested in the game. Global Agenda Vice President of Game Operations Stewart Chisam says, "We are excited to launch servers in the Pacific Rim market and to make Global Agenda truly global, as one of the first games to bring players from throughout the world together while still offering the performance expected from a fast-action, multi-player shooter."
The game is retaining the single-shard model, meaning that players can move between the three servers as needed. As a little bonus to those considering the game and its new player access, Amazon is offering Global Agenda at a 50% discount this weekend, so this is the perfect time to jump into the game.
Check out the official site for all the details on the new server.

I gave this game a try and I was not impressed. The screenshots make it look like an awesome futuristic game but the gameplay was clunky and seemed almost antiquated.

I'm totally happy with my $50 pre order of the game, so obv the collector's edition for $30 is amazing. This game rocks, if you like shooters and have a decent enough gaming computer to run it. The devs for it are great and really listen to the community, too. Can't recommend highly enough!

Here's the deal with Global Agenda: If you are expecting an MMO shooter akin to Planetside, you will be very disappointed. If you are expecting an online shooter like TF2, Counterstrike, etc. in which you can hop into both PvP and PvE missions, you will probably get a lot out of it. I was unfortunately hoping for an MMO when I bought it, but once I learned what to expect from it I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Do not regret my purchase.

Good Catholics Should Not be Masons Comments

Thank you Fr. Beck for this wonderful article. I hope to read your book some time when I can get it. I fully agree with all you say and it is a very important topic for all to be conscious of, that as Christians and Catholics, should not be a Mason for any reason. It is interesting to know that there are groups of Anglicans who are Masons which adds to my reluctance to be immediately accepting when Anglicans are received into the Roman Catholic Church. As we know those who are masons can be very deceiving. I think it is always wise to remain with discerning spirits and to know what is of God and not of God, and to do so without blinders. Thankyou and God Bless You,

Any ideas on how to help my brother come to grips with this? He is a cradle non-practicing Catholic, a rebel, a MASON now, who is a thinker and a really good person with a heart like a big marshmallow who thinks he's doing right. He's 53, and did I mention, he's a REBEL! I love him, please any advice?

I think you should read about former Catholic and a Lawyer who served in the Masonic Lodge--John Salza's book.
"Why Catholics Cant be Mason's."
and "Masonry Unmasked: An Insider Reveals the Secrets of the Lodge"

RCM, I agreed with you up until the part about "leftist/Marxists." Contrary to popular belief, there are many different branches of Communism and Marxism, each more or less extreme than the other. And certainly the Labour and Democratic parties are not Marxist; they're not even leftist! The Democratic Party is center-left (although not all individual party members are center-left) and the Labour party has moved recently from left to center-left.
TB, I agree 100%.

"...the prayers in its rituals specifically exclude reference to Our Lord. They are often prayers of Christian origin which have been vandalised."
How is this supposed to be different from prayers made in other group where people are of different faiths? Should Catholic children not belong to Boy Scouts because they engage in non-denominational prayer? The US Congress opens its sessions with a non-denominational prayer offered by the House chaplain -- should Catholics not serve in US Congress, lest they be forced to pray non-denominationally with non-Catholics? That's just silly.
"...the oaths required in the initiation rites require the new Mason to promise to keep secret the organisation's rituals..."
And? Does the Church allege that the keeping of secrets is wrong? Or does she suggest that, before committing to keeping a secret, someone must be told what the secret is FIRST, and then make up their mind about keeping it?
Father, don't you have an obligation to keep secret what is heard in the confessional? How can you make such a promise without knowing what you will hear? See how absurd that sounds?
All in all, the Catholic Church is far more anti-Masonic than Freemasonry is anti-Catholic.
I find it far more disturbing that the Church sticks her neck out on this while not condemning membership in the Ku Klux Klan, for example, which does welcome Catholics in its modern incarnation, or membership in leftist/Marxist political parties like Labour in the UK and the Democrats in the US.

There are lots of different Masons just like there are lots of different Catholics. Some of the Masons would put the the average Catholic to shame with their selfless imitation of Christ, and some, sadly, are bigots and very proud of it.

You must have a different definition of franchise QB . . . I look for a player who is a proven leader, puts the team before himself, sets the tone for his players with hard work and dedication and never lets his internal emotions negate a chance to win, and someone who backs his teammates up when the going gets tough - I challenge you to prove to me where Jay Cutler fits into ANY of that criteria.
Otherwise your definition amounts to nothing more than calling Jeff George a Pro Bowler.
Is Orton equal to Jay Cutler? Probably not. But Jay Cutler isn't exactly Steve Young or Joe Montana or Jim Kelly or Big Ben . . . not by a longshot.

Holy Shit! Nick Leftley! My Favorite Maxim Writer on New Jersey
The 15 best New Jersey songs
If you're heading to the Garden State, this playlist will get you there in toe-tapping style
Fri Jun 6 2014
CommentsAdd +
"I Like Jersey Best" by John Pizzarelli
No song namechecks Jersey locations like this one: "The Pinelands and the Vinelands / Seaside Heights, Margate / You can have Miami / I love the Garden State." Released on 1999's P.S. Mr. Cole, it takes listeners on a trip from Rutgers to the oil refineries, stopping briefly at Cherry Hill, Lake Hopatcong and a sat nav's worth of other high points along the way. It even pays homage to the state's most famous musician (sorry, Jon Bon Jovi): "Some states have their rock stars, but Springsteen beats them all." Damn straight. —Nick Leftley
"You Can't Catch Me" by Chuck Berry
The greatest rock & roll stars know how to make anything sound appealing, and so it goes with Chuck Berry on this 1956 belter, where Berry suggests we race a souped-up "air mobile" down the New Jersey Turnpike. A premonition of Marty McFly's hoverboard, perhaps? Who cares, we'll take it! And so, as it happens, did the Rolling Stones, who covered the track in 1965, plus John Lennon, who was sued by Berry's publisher for ripping off the song in the Beatles' "Come Together" (get a load of the line "Here come old flattop" in Berry's original here), and Bruce Springsteen, who drops the line "New Jersey Turnpike in the wee, wee hours" on his haunting Nebraska album. Sure enough, it's a helluva song.—Sophie Harris
"No Future Part Three: Escape from No Future" by Titus Andronicus
In the video for this epic cut from 2010, Andronicus frontman Patrick Sickles goes on a rant dispelling all the ugly stereotypes about his home state (Jersey Shore, bad smells, Real Housewives). Directed by fellow Jerseyite Tom Scharpling (The Best Show on WFMU), the road-trip footage—chronicling the band rocking out from the Pine Barrens in South Jersey all the way up to Jersey City—is a raucous love letter to the state. After a nod to Mahwah, the song's final mantra ("You will always be a loser," a sentiment anyone who grew up in the shadow of NYC can relate to) shifts from a lament to an embracing punk anthem.—Tim Lowery
"Hackensack" by Fountains of Wayne
Most folks know Fountains of Wayne for its ultra-catchy ode to MILFs, "Stacy's Mom," but the power pop quartet—named after a kitschy lawn-ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey—has been spinning tales about underdog heroes of the tristate area for close to two decades. One of our favorites is "Hackensack," a touching yet comical 2003 ditty about a perpetual dreamer who grows up in the titular northern New Jersey suburb, pining for the high-school hottie. She goes on to become a famous Hollywood starlet; he sticks around the hometown, working a dead-end job at his dad's paint store. The years, the miles and the polar-opposite lifestyles do little to deter our indefatigable hero's optimism, as he sends out a long-distance dedication to his would-be steady: "If you ever get back to Hackensack, I'll be here for you." Keep the dream alive, bro!—Michael Chen
"Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3
Some songs just have to be included, whether they're technically about Jersey or not. Alabama 3 actually hails from Brixton in London, England, but its 1997 song—specifically the "Chosen One Mix"—is now indelibly linked to the Garden State thanks to its presence in the iconic opening credits of The Sopranos. It is literally impossible to hear this song now without picturing Tony's cigar-chomping drive from Manhattan, through the Lincoln Tunnel, over the Pulaski Skyway and down to Caldwell.—Nick Leftley

Expanding FMLA Coverage Could Increase Access to More Than 8 Million Workers
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
February 5, 2014
For Immediate Release: February 5, 2014
Twenty-one years ago today, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was signed into law to give covered employees job-protected and unpaid leave for qualifying reasons. The law was intended "to balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of families, to promote the stability and economic security of families, and to promote national interests in preserving family integrity." A new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) demonstrates that the law currently covers 56 percent of private-sector employees, providing these workers with up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave in case they experience a serious health problem or need to care for a newborn, seriously ill family member, or injured military service member. However, the eligibility requirements in the law mean that 49 million private sector employees are not covered by the law's provisions. This analysis finds that relaxing eligibility requirements along the lines of some current proposals would increase access to family and medical leave for between 1.4 and 8.3 million more private-sector employees.
The report, "Expanding Federal Family and Medical Leave Coverage: Who Benefits from Changes in Eligibility Requirements ," looks at the current FMLA eligibility and finds that coverage is far from universal. The authors, economists Helene Jorgensen and Eileen Appelbaum of CEPR, note that employers with less than 50 employees in a 75 mile radius are not subject to the FMLA and employees who have worked for their employer for less than a year or with insufficient hours are also ineligible. According to the 2012 Department of Labor surveys on FMLA coverage and utilization, about 18 million employees take family and medical leave annually, but a large swath of employees are ineligible for the job-protections of the FMLA or cannot afford to take leave even if they are eligible.
In their analysis of the FMLA survey, the authors found that some demographic groups have less access to FMLA coverage than others. For instance, there was a strong relationship between educational attainment and FMLA leave eligibility, with more educated employees having higher rates of eligibility. Young men with a high school degree or less have considerably lower eligibility rates than other employees. And while women of childbearing age have slightly higher rates of eligibility regardless of education, a full two-in-five women have no access to family and medical leave under the FMLA.
Jorgensen and Appelbaum then turn to proposals to expand eligibility for FMLA leaves to encompass a greater share of employees in the United States. In particular, they look at the effects of expanding coverage to smaller employers and/or employees who work fewer hours than current requirements. They find that lowering the employee threshold from 50 to 30 workers would increase eligibility by 4.7 million employees. Lowering the required number of hours worked would lead to an increase in coverage of 2.7 million to 3.6 million employees.
As Appelbaum points out, "This increase in coverage would be particularly beneficial to young women as women are more likely than men to work for smaller employers and to work part time."
As more women have joined the workforce over the years, the demand for family and medical leave has increased for both men and women; many workers, however, are currently not eligible for such leaves.
"Reducing the requirements on the number of employees working at a firm or the number of hours worked by an employee would open the door to coverage for several million private sector employees but would still leave a large share of these employees without coverage," added Jorgensen.
Some partial wage replacement would make family and medical leave more universally available for workers across income groups. Of the six percent of employees having unmet need for leave, nearly half reported they could not take leave because they could not afford it. As the experience with the California program has shown, paid leave can work without imposing undue hardships on employers. An earlier analysis conducted by Appelbaum in California found that the state's family leave policy was not the job-killer many nay-sayers claimed it would be and in fact, an overwhelming majority of employers found it to have little or no impact on productivity, performance or the company's profitability.
Late last year, the Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act was introduced in Congress. The act calls for a national paid family and medical leave program modeled on similar programs in California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The adoption of the FAMILY Act would go far in achieving the intended goals of the FMLA, raising the share of employees eligible for an FMLA leave and enabling workers who can't afford leave -- even when covered by the FMLA -- to take the time to care for themselves and their families.

Man, who knew the clean-living types play on the same playground we do?
And the world wept.

A moment of silence, please.
The former child star has won the female lead in the not-at-all anticipated remake of 'A Nightmare On Elm Street.'
Plus, Brad and Angelina are moving to Long Island! And more from your favorite tabloid stalwarts, in today's gossip roundup.
We actually prefer her in her leggings ads.

We can all finally exhale, thank God! Plus, Charles Barkley and Matt Dillon provide mug-shot do's and don't's, in the very first gossip roundup of 2009! Yay!
For LiLo or Lauren Conrad, it kinda works. But J.Lo, Katie Holmes, and Matthew McConaughey? Cringe.
She also wears a size 0 in her brand 6126.
So she checked into a hospital, because that is what famous people do when they are tired.
At separate events, actually. And likely with separate hip-injury results.
