Placido's story
Placido came to YES when he was 14 because he was struggling with drugs and gangs. Because of drugs and fights in school he was suspended. He was also fighting and resisting his family efforts to help him; sometimes, he would not come home, many times he did not go to school, and eventually he was referred to YES.
"When I first came to YES, I didn't care, I didn't want to talk. But didn't know I needed help."
After coming to YES, Placido received the supportive care he needed through our Substance Abuse, Success Mentoring and Latino HEAT programs. Through his involvement with YES, Placido has made positive choices and is now on track to graduate. He has new friends and has reconnected to his passions of art and soccer. He is even giving back as a volunteer mentor to other at-risk-youth.
"I can count on YES for help, they helped me and my family. I was able to think again, reflect and realize that I want to contribute and share my story so that others realize that in this world all challenges can be overcome and that you can go on and get ahead."
YES helps youth like Placido overcome their challenges through one-to-one counseling, group support and mentorship. You can help, too.

What can we do to prevent school violence?
The staff at Youth Eastside Services is saddened by the news today of a school shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School, and we offer our condolences to the families of the victims. This is heartbreaking news for adults; it is even more unfathomable and frightening for children.
So how do we help our kids cope? As parents, we may not be able to protect our children from crisis, but we can react in a way that prevents it from causing undue stress. When disaster or violence hits the news, we sometimes want to hold our kids closer. But it's important to let them go about their usual activities.
When kids hear a story like this, they often have fears about whether it will happen to them. Talk with them honestly about what happened, but don't overly focus on it. Sometimes fear can be allayed in older children by helping them plan what they would do to stay safe if they were caught in a dangerous situation.
Here are some other tips for helping kids:
Encourage children to talk about their feelings. Ask what they have seen or heard and if there's anything they're worried about. Then give them only as much information as you feel they need, and let their responses guide you.
Let your children know their fears and emotions are okay by acknowledging their feelings while providing reassurance. Don't minimize their concerns by telling them not to worry, especially since any subsequent incident will diminish that line of logic.
During the heat of the crisis, keep the news off when your kids are in ear shot and try not to bring it up excessively. Even young kids absorb more than you realize, even when they don't appear to be paying attention.
Use the news as a teachable moment when you can share your family values. For instance, you might point out the importance of helping those who are unable to help themselves.
With older children, use the news to discuss tough issues raised in these stories, like accepting people from different religions or cultures.
It's important to remember that as scary as a random act of violence can be, more kids are harmed by guns in the home. Figures gathered from emergency rooms across the US show that around 20,000 children are injured by firearms each year, and 900 incidents are fatal.
If you own a gun, this is an ideal time for a safety check: keep it locked, out of reach of kids, and unloaded. But even if you don't own a gun, remember your child may still play at a home that has guns, or be exposed to a gun if someone brings it to school or the park.
Tell your children that if another child shows them a gun or they see an adult other than a police officer or soldier with a gun in a public setting, they should absolutely tell you or another adult immediately. If they are alone and have a cell phone, instruct them to dial 9-1-1. Assure them that they won't be in trouble, and that it could help avoid someone getting hurt or killed.

Debbie says... I like mysteries, suspense, and literary fiction with a historical setting. Realistic characters and a strong sense of time and place are more important to me than plot, so don't expect any fast paces thrillers from me!
As leader of the library's Crime Readers book discussion group, I spend a lot of time reading suspense, crime novels, and mysteries with complex, discussable plots and set all around the world. I am also a sucker for a good, nostalgic coming of age story.
Suspense recommendations: Instruments of Night by Thomas H. Cook and The Church of Dead Girls by Stephen Dobyns.
Mystery recommendations: A Beautiful Place to Die by Malla Nunn and Killed at the Whim of a Hat by Colin Cotterill.
Coming of age story recommendations: The Cape Ann by Faith Sullivan, The Bottoms by Joe Lansdale, and Winter Wheat by Mildred Walker.

The Mangle Street Murders by M. R. C. Kasasian (2014)Renowned London detective Sidney Grice is irascible, vain, and a genius. When he takes in a young woman as his ward, he never dreams that her humanistic approach to life will assist him in his detecting. A chance meeting with a doctor and struggling writer Arthur Conan Doyle suggests that Grice and March Middleton, his […]
A Beautiful Place to Die by Malla Nunn (2009)When an Afrikaner policeman is murdered in a remote area of South Africa, detective Emmanual Cooper is brought in to investigate. It is 1952, and the Apartheid system has recently become the law of the land. How does an honorable policeman investigate when not all witnesses are considered equal and people of different races are […]
Denise says... I love to read fiction for pleasure and escapism. Learning about another part of the world or culture, a time in history, or perspectives on current issues is often an added bonus! The most important factor for me is characterization. Well-developed and at least one likeable character is crucial. I love to meet new characters and see the world through someone else's eyes, or feel like I've made a "connection" with a character.
My favorite fiction genres are mystery, suspense, thrillers, and women's fiction. I enjoy the fast-paced intensity and sense of problem-solving found in suspense, thrillers, and mysteries. I love unexpected plot twists (the element of surprise). A few of my favorite authors are Harlan Coben, Nelson DeMille, Lee Child, and Michael Connelly.
Alternatively, I enjoy reading about people's lives and relationships, and stories that touch my heart, often found in women's fiction. I appreciate books that help me gain new insights into myself, or others, as well as books that allow me to escape to a different place or time, and open my mind to something I've never even imagined. Some favorites are The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom, and The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.
My Latest Reviews
Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler (2013)I listened to the audio version of Julie Kibler's debut Calling Me Home and loved it. The narration alternates between Isabelle, an 89-year old white woman, and Dorrie, an African American woman in her 30s. These two women have an unlikely friendship, which started many years earlier when Dorrie became Isabelle's hairdresser. At Isabelle's request, […]
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd (2014)I loved everything about this book…the superbly-drawn, complex characters; the inspirational, and often intense, storylines of each character; and the wonderful setting descriptions that made me feel like I was there with the characters! The fact that this novel was based on real-life people makes it more powerful and unforgettable. Set in Charleston during the […]
Jennifer primarily reads fiction, and loves getting drawn in to a character's story. She enjoys both contemporary and historical novels (especially those that have strands of both such as The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes). She appreciates witty/quirky dialogue or characters (The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger) and fast-paced stories that quickly engage her attention. Within fiction, she particularly enjoys WWII tales (Elizabeth Wein'sCode Name Verity), mysteries (The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka J. K. Rowling), and romance (Sarah Addison Allen'sThe Sugar Queen). Series hold a special place in her heart, especially Julia Quinn'sBridgertons, Lauren Willig'sPink Carnation spies, Susan Elizabeth Phillips'Chicago Stars, and Meg Cabot'sHeather Wells.
Jennifer is partial to nonfiction that weaves a personal story into history (Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, The Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan).
My Latest Reviews
Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher (2014)Julie Schumacher's brief epistolary novel offers a glimpse of academia from a crotchety and beleaguered middle-aged creative writing professor. In a series of snarky letters, Jason Fitger laments the death of liberal arts on college campuses, endorses his struggling grad student, and documents the ridiculousness of teaching in a decrepit building. His own literary career […]
The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan (2014)In 2012, Marina Keegan's final essay in the Yale Daily News went viral after her sudden tragic death five days after graduation. In The Opposite of Loneliness, her teachers and family compiled a selection of her writings, both fiction and nonfiction. I enjoyed listening to Emily Woo Zeller's narration – she captures the wry humor […]
Jez enjoys fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novels in the adult, GenLit, and young adult collections. Within fiction, she reads fantasy, science fiction, dystopias, LGBTQ, and mainstream. With all fiction, she enjoys good world-building and engaging plot, which must hold her attention and be well-paced. Within nonfiction, Jez enjoys reading biographies and memoirs, especially written by celebrities and comedians, such as Tina Fey or Mindy Kaling. She also reads many memoirs involving Asperger's syndrome. Jez listens to many audiobooks in a wide variety of genres and has made herself very familiar with audiobook critique and narrators.
Some of her favorites include The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, the Hawkeye series by Matt Fraction, Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, and anything by David Levithan.

Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson (2011)A scientist has successfully created artificial intelligence and puts the world in danger when the robot, calling itself Archos R-14, kills its creator and escapes. Archos slowly spreads its influence across the world and takes over many robots, of which this future society is full, and bides its time before launching a major attack against […]
Reality Boy by A.S. King (2013)When Gerald Faust was a small child, his home was invaded by television cameras and the overdone star of the reality TV show, Network Nanny. Now in high school, Gerald has to live each day being tormented by his classmates and knowing everyone he meets saw him on national television, acting out by pooping on […]
Joan says... I can read most genres if the main character is likable and interesting and the writer paints a setting that you could walk right into and long to visit. I cannot tolerate lengthy descriptions that go on for pages and pages. I would rather the characters and setting details unfold as the story progresses. My reading time is often limited, but if I can get my hands on a good page turner, I cannot put it down. If I am up until 3:00am and the story resonates with me throughout the coming day of exhaustion, that is a 5 star read to me.
Although my preference is fiction, I have found some narrative nonfiction enthralling. Fiction based on a true story, a semi-biographical story, or a great historical fiction novel is also appealing. A good mystery is relaxing, but many other types of novels can have an element of suspense or mystery and keep my attention. For years Dean Koontz's psychological suspense entertained me, but I could never go for Stephen King. I find myself skimming through gore and violence. I cannot believe I loved Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo trilogy. The suspense and the characters allowed me to see past the gore and violence.
I enjoy a plot that goes back and forth in time and draws connections between characters in different time periods. A good example of this is hard to find. It may encompass historical fiction, mystery, and/or fantasy. I like a surprise ending, but not a totally unexpected and out of sync with the rest of the book and the nature of the characters. An ambiguous ending can be frustrating and I will often make up my own.
Recent favorites include The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, Set the Night on Fire by Libby Fischer Hellmann, and A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True by Brigid Pasulka.

Eye to Eye: Photographs by Vivian Maier (2014)Vivian Maier was a nanny, not a professional photographer. Her work was never published until after her death. Her vision and talent were incredible. Maier, with her Rolleiflex in hand, captured the essence of her subjects and their time. Much of her work told a story of the people of Chicagoland in the 1950s, 60s, […]
The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes (2013)Sophie and Liv struggle through tragedies, tough decisions, and community ridicule nearly a century a part. A hauntingly beautiful portrait of Sophie with penetrating eyes painted by her impressionist husband connect the womens' plights across time. Liv feels a deep connection to Sophie and risks everything to keep the painting out of the wrong hands. […]
Joe says... I like to read nonfiction, young adult fiction, and science fiction, but any book with a good plot will grab me.
Nonfiction: For many years, nonfiction has been what I like to read, especially adventure stories like Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger, Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand, and A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. More recently, I have enjoyed The Boys in the Boat by Daniel Brown, No Easy Day by Mark Owen, and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I like books that start in the middle or at the end and then come full circle, because these stories start in the thick of the action. Also, whereas too much detail in a fiction story seems to bog things down, I relish the minutia that nonfiction writers unearth, provided they weave it artfully into the story.
Young Adult Fiction: In the past two years, I have rediscovered my love of fiction, and I prefer to read young adult titles like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and Holes by Louis Sachar. As far as the "where" of the setting, I am not too picky. The story could take place in some fantasy realm, or it could take place today. As long as the plot grabs me, I am happy. If the author goes a step further and brings me into that world, I admit, I am even happier.
Science Fiction: My two favorite books are adult science fiction titles: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron by Jasper Fforde. Although I will read books from any time period, I have recently become addicted to stories set in a dystopian future where society is broken into factions. I am also enamored with tall tales like George Fitch'sThe Big Strike at Siwash. You know the story is over the top, that the characters are exaggerated, and yet you just eat it up. A science fiction version of this might be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
My Latest Reviews
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher (2001)This young adult title will make you cry both tears of joy and anguish as it explores the themes of racism, child abuse, and high school bullying. T. J. Jones, an adopted high school senior of mixed race, takes it upon himself to stop the quarterback of the football team from bullying a mentally challenged […]
Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron by Jasper Fforde (2009)Shades of Grey is science fiction, suspense, and comedy rolled into one. It is set in a dystopian future in which everyone is color blind and one's class status is determined by the amount of color that he or she can see, with the greys toiling at the bottom, the purples at the top, and […]
Mary K.
Mary K. says... I enjoy reading literary fiction, mysteries, some suspense as well as true adventure, memoirs and history. Books about ordinary people confronted with "extraordinary" circumstances appeal to me. Although I don't intentionally seek out books to learn something new, curiosity about a place, event, or historic timeframe will often draw me to a title.
I prefer novels with interesting characters and endings that are unambiguous. Some of my favorite authors include Alan Furst, Rebecca Cantrell, Anne Tyler, and Ed Gorman'sSam McCain mystery series. A few of my favorite nonfiction titles are No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer.
My Latest Reviews
Red Means Run by Brad Smith (2012)When successful criminal lawyer Mickey Dupree is found dead on a golf course in upstate New York, all fingers point to ex-baseball player turned farmer Virgil Cain as his killer. Several weeks earlier, Cain had spouted off in the local bar that "someone ought to blow Mickey's head off." That statement alone is sufficient evidence […]
Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead (2014)The world of professional ballet is the centerpiece of this character-driven novel. To dance for a professional New York ballet company is no small feat, but for Joan her role as a member of the ballet corps does meet her aspirations. She becomes romantically involved with Arslan, a Soviet ballet star whom she helped defect […]
Mary P.
Mary P. says... I enjoy reading historical novels, mysteries, suspense, and women's fiction (typically written by women and read by women), literary fiction and nonfiction books. I'm delighted when I find a book with a strong sense of place and time. I guess that is why I enjoy historical stories by far.
I lead the Novel Idea book club at the library. I try to introduce less famous authors to the group hoping that they will find a new favorite and continue to read that author.
I like learning something I haven't known about from a book.
I listen to audiobooks and find that experience gratifying. Sometimes the author will read their own book, especially in nonfiction works.
I can recommend:
Historical Fiction: Night in Shanghai by Nicole Mones
Mystery: Silent Voices: a Vera Stanhope Mystery by Ann Cleeves
Suspense: Black Skies by Arnaldur Indridason
Fiction: Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen and Falls the Shadow by William Lasher
Nonfiction: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder and Reading Jackie by William Kuhn

Hissy Fit by Mary Kay Andrews (2004)After calling off her high-society wedding after discovery her fiancé's infidelity (with the maid of honor), Kelly Murdock faces financial ruin before receiving assistance – and an opportunity for revenge – from the new owner of a local bra company. Mary Kay Andrews has written a great, light, funny story guaranteed to make you laugh […]
Making Masterpiece: 25 years behind the scenes at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! on PBS by Rebecca Eaton (2013)I have watched Masterpiece since it first was broadcast on TV. Masterpiece Theatre and its sister program Mystery! were outstanding productions of British classics. Rebecca Eaton has been its executive producer for the past 28 years. She shares what that's like, plus a lot of her own personal story. There are interesting anecdotes about many […]
Mary S.
Mary S. says... I have taken pleasure in reading since childhood. I read fiction mostly for escape and sometimes to learn about other cultures. I like books that are more plot-driven than character-driven. I prefer books that are fast paced, tied up at the end, and for the most part probable. As far as characterizations, I favor a book with at least one likeable character and fairly well-developed characters. It slows down my reading when there are so many characters that I have to keep flipping back to remember who a person is.
The genres I read most are mystery (Nevada Barr, Michael Connelly'sHarry Bosch series, Jacqueline Winspear'sMaisie Dobbs series) and suspense (Deborah Crombie, Dennis Lehane). I read some literary (Ann Patchett, Anne Tyler, E. L. Doctorow) and issue-driven women's fiction (Anna Quindlen, Jodi Picoult'sMy Sister's Keeper). For the setting, I primarily prefer contemporary or where it starts in the present and relates to things in the past. I appreciate books where artwork or rare books are featured.
The nonfiction books I enjoy are on the subjects of memoirs about well-known people, travel, cats and other animals where they don't die at the end, and true crime especially theft. If possible, I prefer to listen to a book.
Favorite books include Blessings by Anna Quindlen, The Drowning Tree by Carol Goodman, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear, Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Run by Ann Patchett, and Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie.

I, Toto: the autobiography of Terry, the dog who was Toto by Willard Carroll (2001)Did you know that the cute cairn terrier that played Dorothy's dog, Toto, in The Wizard of Oz performed in fourteen major motion pictures? This is a timely book to read since August 2014 is the 75th anniversary of the release of The Wizard of Oz movie (and check Bill's review last month on other […]
Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys? by Billy Crystal (2013)Upon turning 65, Billy Crystal, a comedian, actor, and director, wrote this entertaining, humorous, and sometimes poignant book. It alternates between quips about aging and reflections on his family life and career. In the audio version of Still Foolin' 'Em, the chapters on aging seem right out of his stand-up act complete with laugh track. […]
Sally says... I read more literary fiction than anything and I enjoy mystery, suspense, and historical fiction. I enjoy stories with multiple story lines, but the plot should be engaging. I like books that focus on issues and ideas. But nothing is as engaging as a good storyteller, for instance, Elmore Leonard. I really don't like implausibility or cliché; rather I look for ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. An author (like Barbara Vine) who makes past events unfold in the present day will always be on my reading list.
My Latest Reviews
Acts of Faith by Philip Caputo (2005)Philip Caputo sets this fascinating tale of aid workers against the background of Sudan's civil war, where the Muslim government in the north fights the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) for control of the Christian and animist south. Acts of Faith presents multiple stories of a group of men and women who confront their own […]
The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman (2014)In New York City in 1911, a fire devastated both the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in Greenwich Village and destroyed the amusement park Dreamland being constructed above Coney Island. These public events are the framework for a spellbinding tale in which the author weaves realism and fairy tale. This novel, a romance and a tightly plotted […]
Shirley says... I have eclectic tastes and read—or listen to—whatever grabs my attention as I scan titles and book descriptions or read literary reviews. So, I have trouble pinning down my preferences. This means I read a variety of genres, although I often pick up a romance when nothing else appeals. If pressed, I'd say I prefer intelligent main characters and first-rate word craft (rich, descriptive use of language). Weak writing, overused phrases and incomplete sentences, and grammatical or editing errors annoy me and ruin my enjoyment of the work. I read mostly for the story and how the characters relate within it, and I have read a number of delightful nonfiction memoirs/biographies, especially those that speak to the human experience and connections with others and with animals (such as The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating and Conversations with a Prince). On the other hand, a page turning mystery provides escapist fun, too. I also enjoy a variety of short stories (Poe, Russian masters, Elmore Leonard), and I read some Christian and inspirational fiction.
As a regular listener to audiobooks, I count Barbara Rosenblat's narration of the Nevada Barr books as among the best.
My Latest Reviews
Juliet in August by Dianne Warren (2012)I haven't become so invested in characters in a long while. This subtle, evocative novel interweaves multiple stories and characters during the course of one August day in the small western Canadian town of Juliet. I discovered many lovely moments in this wonderful piece of storytelling, including some of almost indescribable lyricism; I especially loved […]
The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova BaileyThe Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey (2010) "It must have some kind of teeth, and it wasn't shy about using them."—A description of a nightmarish monster? No. Instead, it's a tai chi master…snail. This surprising, lovingly crafted homage to a snail, written by the seriously ill and bed-ridden Bailey whose […]
Suzy says... I read mostly for pleasure, and I enjoy literary fiction and chick lit. I like reading about people's lives and their relationships with others. When I am reading, I really enjoy well-developed characters that I think about after I close the book. Some of my favorite books have unforgettable characters such as June in Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt and Dellarobia in Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. Quirky stories and offbeat characters also really draw me into a book, such as in Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan and Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple.
I like to listen to audiobooks and with the right narrator, it can be a remarkable experience. Ralph Cosham narrates the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny and his rich voices gives life to the many characters in the story. Wally Lamb's latest book We Are Water features multiple narrators including the author himself. I enjoy the way audiobooks transform a story into a dynamic listening experience.

Flurry Of Scientists, Recent Peer-Reviewed Papers, Warning Of Approaching Little Ice Age
By P Gosselin on 10. Mai 2014
There's a lot of excitement flaring up, especially on the alarmist side, because of a possible super El Nino occurring later this year – one that could push global temperature to a new modern high. That of course is entirely possible. However, it isn't going to really matter, and possibly may only be the last […]

Clear Solar Impact On Climate Shown By New Study – German Meteorologist Calls Parrenin et al Paper "The Latest Gag"
By P Gosselin on 10. März 2013
Is CO2 the main driver behind climate? Warmist scientists would have us believe it is. One recent European study claims that CO2 and temperature rose simultaneously at the end of the last ice age, implying CO2 is a real driver. However, one prominent German meteorologist dismissed it and bluntly called the Laboratoire de Glaciologie et […]

Airport Travel Just Got A Little Easier (Really!): Zipcars Now Available At Greater New York City Airports
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, Inc., the world's leading car sharing network, today announced the introduction of Zipcar vehicles at three airports in the Greater New York City area, including Newark Liberty, LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy (JFK) airports. The cars are conveniently located in Zipcar branded parking spaces at the Avis Car Rental pick-up facility at each airport.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111118/MM09809LOGO)
"Every day tens of thousands of members rely on the convenience of Zipcar's on-demand access to 'wheels when they want them' near home and work. Today we're excited to bring the convenience of Zipcar's leading solution to Zipsters when they travel," said Zipcar President Mark Norman. "We look forward to supporting members' travel needs at additional airport locations over the course of the coming year."
Zipcar is currently offering four vehicles at Newark Liberty Airport, four vehicles at LaGuardia Airport and five Zipcar vehicles at JFK Airport. The Zipcars in these locations include Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra models, with pricing starting from $12 per hour and $89 per day. As with all Zipcar reservations, gas, insurance and 180 miles per day are included in the reservation price for these vehicles. The vehicles contain E-ZPass ® readers, and members will be billed separately for the toll charges.The vehicles can be reserved by all Zipcar members ages 21 and up, including those residing in the greater New York City area as well as those traveling to the area. Detailed instructions on how to locate the Zipcars will be included in the reservation confirmation page for reserving members. The Zipcars at JFK and Newark Liberty airports are accessible via the airports' monorail systems, and all three airports can be reached using public transportation. "The availability of Zipcars at airports will provide increased options for members who may not need a full day rental car, or for those who need to travel somewhere not easily accessible by public transit," continued Norman. "We believe this is the first in many new offerings that will enhance the value of Zipcar membership that we can provide thanks to the support of the Avis Budget Group."

This is my HG mascara. I go back to it when I'm in a hurry or when a new product fails me. I took 1 lippy off cause it sometimes gives me panda eyes when the day is too humid. My lashes grow downwards and I didn't really see the curling power until I changed a new method (shiseido eyelash curler before mascara and then a electronic curler after mascara. This is the only method that works for me. Damn stubborn straight lashes!). After that I compared all my mascaras and this one has the best curling power :) It can last all day when it's not too humid. In terms of length and volume, this mascara defines and lengthens lashes well but not dramatically so. It's not realistic to expect miracles from products so I tend to be moderate in my appraisals.

A very good Dior mascara. I have yet to find a Dior mascara that's not good. It doesn't give much volume (I have full but short lashes) but it does provide the length and good separation. Stays on the whole day without smudging, flaking etc. I combine it with Dior maximizer lash serum but then again if I apply two layers of the Iconic mascara I get the exact same result. I would absolutely buy it again.
This mascara is beautiful. It makes my eyelashes longer, curlier and fuller. It also is a bit glossy which makes it a very nice choice for fancier makeup.
Only issue I have with this is how difficult it is to remove. I got the non-waterproof one and using a variety of eye makeup removers and cleansers (including ones for waterproof mascaras), it's still very difficult to remove and requires minutes of rubbing which makes my eyes red. This is by far the most difficult to remove mascara that I have ever used.

Got a sample of this, and it gives you pretty long and separated lashes. I get surprisingly many compliments when waring this.. But I can not use this when I'm working because it does not last all day without rubbing of. In humid conditions or on a rainy day it gives me panda eyes. Not a pretty look! And my cleanser which removes makeup well, has a problem removing this. Why?
This is my newest love in mascara... i used the ysl mascara before(can't remember the name) that was good too, but this one is my favorite...i always come back to this one..If you have short lashes go for this...i have really short lashes, but i have got a lot of compliments on how long my lashes are when i use this one..Volume isn't very wow, so if you want volume, i don't think this one is the right one...but for length its just wow:)
This is a great everyday mascara, it coats my fair lashes with product quickly and gives a clump free result. Oh and it lasts so well without flaking or running. I have worn this all day and into the early hours and it still stayed put (this includes dancing !!). Also didn't irritate my normally watery sensitive eyes.
It does however go gloopy after about 3 months use or so, it doesn't become unusable but this is a bit irritating with such an expensive mascara. Expensive but worth it for me.

I got interested in eyelashes and mascaras really late, so this was my first mascara (the rest before were either freebies or GWPs which I didn't know how to use properly). Anyway, I got it in non-waterproof formula thinking it'd be real hard to remove. Big mistake. While this mascara really curls the eyelashes up, and ends length, it smudges badly. In addition, if you swipe more than twice, it'll clump your eyelashes. This is actually more buck than bang, so I'd give it a miss if you can. Besides it burnt a big whole in my pocket, about SGD 50++. Not repurchasing.
Sorry to spoil the party, but I don't like this--to me, it's not worth spending $28. No volume, a little bit of length, and no noticable curling. What does this mascara actually do? I like the brush, but the formula is weak. I get better results from Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous, and that tops out at $7.
I have the Diorshow Iconic Extreme in the rinsable formula. I have asian lashes but they are very long and have a slight curl to them. Diorshow Iconic is the best lengthening mascara I've ever tried and it does a great job at lifting your lashes, and holding a decent curl after you use an eyelash curler. It doesn't smudge or flake on me!
However, don't get this mascara if you want volume, it just coats your lashes with a rich black color. It also has a tendency to clump and I don't find it very defining. This mascara is quite natural (great 'day' mascara), which is not my desired effect as I prefer more drama (lots of volume!). Taking off this mascara is fairly easy, I gently remove it with water and it comes out in these little fibers.
I'm on my fourth tube, so I'm guessing it's probably an HG for me. I wear mascara daily, and bought this after a friend wore it to dinner and sat opposite me. Her lashes looked great - individually defined, separated, long, dark and plushy, so I asked what mascara she was wearing (to the derision of all the guys at the table).
It's pricey, but I find it adds great definition, length and volume, and, most importantly, it doesn't leave any fallout on my lids (greasy, so very prone to it with most mascaras) or cheeks. I wear contacts and have quite a sensitive lashline, but I've had no tingling, itching or discomfort with this mascara. I've found it hard to find a mascara that gives good length and volume without clumping - I've tried them all, from YSL to Maybelline - and this is the only one I've repurchased repeatedly.
I recently bought the giant Sephora box of mascaras in the hope I could wean myself off this very pricey stuff, and didn't find a single one in the set that came close, unfortunately. If you get the chance, buy it duty-free to offset some of the price!

Combat Pay for Evacuated Soldiers
Combat Pay for Evacuated Soldiers
Week of January 07, 2008
When Soldiers are evacuated from a combat zone due to a combat-related injury, they no longer need to wait 30 days to begin receiving their Combat-Related Injury Rehabilitation Pay (CIP). Now, CIP kicks in immediately, ensuring troops continue to receive an additional $430 dollars a month, even while they are recovering in a military hospital. Soldiers who believe they may be eligible to receive CIP should contact their Warrior Transition Unit chain of command, local Wounded in Action DFAS representative, or call 1-800-237-1336.

"I am moving on March 1st, and would love some frugal ideas and tips for moving on a budget. Any suggestions??"

You can get free boxes from stores like Wal-Mart, Fry's ect. Just go up to the customer service center and let them know. They will ask for more info and tell you what time to come back and pick them up. Most of the time it's the next morning.
I hope this helps!
check out craigslist for people who recently moved and have boxes to get rid of. It is much cheaper then buying them new!
When I had to move on a budget I went to local stores and asked them if I could have any boxes. I suggest going to a store like k-mart because they get shipments daily and usually have a lot of good sturdy boxes compared to the type of box that you would get from a grocery store.
I also had family help me with moving so that cut costs. If there is anything that you could sell and buy later I suggest doing thatand also getting rid of any clutter so that you will have les to pack since you won't need it. Donating anything that may be of use to the local salvation army or chairty and some of them will come to your home and pick it up for you.
If you have need a moving company, moving during the week is also cheaper because most of them have a weekend premium rate they charge so shop around for a good price if you will be hiring a company.
Lastly, I suggest you start packing things early and label your boxes so that you won't have stress along the way and when you move things will be organised.
Well wishes!
Also hold onto newspapers, plastic & paper bags to wrap glass and valuables in.
These are some of the things I did to prepare for our recent move.
If you live in the Northern MS area I will give you alot of the paper and boxes I have left.
Where do live and do you have packing material may 5 5014
Along with getting free boxes, make sure to get change of address forms from the Post Office. There are often coupons for local businesses in there that may be of use for you. Also, I suggest taking a carload of stuff prior to the big move. This will help the hired movers or truck to be done more quickly. Also, I suggest packing clothes into garbage bags as opposed to bulky expensive wardrobe boxes. They are more maleable that way and can be stuffed in between things as padding instead of being its own large box.
In addition to bags and newspapers to wrap breakables in, fliers and pages from old magazines you don't want anymore are good, too.
Fabric eco-shopping bags can also take the place of boxes – they're easy to carry and you can carry multiple in each hand at one time. Lighter things can also be thrown into garbage bags, luggage, bread baskets, and containers that are usually used in the home – You're going to be taking them with you anyway, they might as well be full.
Sell unwanted books at used book stores.
I have found I enjoy wrapping breakable kitchen items with my kitchen towels. Bathroom items with small bath towels, etc. Since the items were clean I just refolded and put away in the proper place.
I also have found packing a small breakable item or more inside a plastic pitcher helps to keep breakable items well cushioned.
My sister in law packs many bags and keeps them well cushioned with the items inside and these fill gaps in the uhaul trailer.
I collected boxes from work – or do like the previous suggestions and ask around at grocery stores. I also saved newspapers to wrap fragile items.
The last time we moved, I made it about a 3-4 week long process. I started packing the things I knew we wouldn't need or could do without in the next few weeks (starting with decorative things). Everyday, I packed additional items until the week before we moved, finally packing the last of the things – it came down to the kitchen as the last room to pack (food and the few last dishes we need to use to eat). Label the boxes clearly as to what room in the new house they should go to.
When we moved, we rented a U-haul and invited friends over to help. By that time, the house was already packed in boxes (thanks to me) so all they boys had to do was pack the truck. We bought them beer and burgers as a thank-you and were done in half a day.
It took a lot of work on my part to pack everything myself, but we only ended up spending money on the rental truck and food for our help!
We bought the different patterns of duck tape, designated a color per room, and put a square of that color on the side of the box for the room it was to go to. It cost a few $ more than just markers, but made our move go a whole lot smoother.
Suggestion, put pieces of that tape on the doors of the room where items are to go!!
That's what I do, but with coloured dots. The green dots go in the kitchen, the blue dots are for the living/dining rooms, the yellow dots are for the bedrooms, etc. It's easy to put dots on 3 or 4 sides of the boxes for easy identification.
I grew up in a military family and moved a lot! Here's what I learned:
* Put the items that you will need right away in one box that is clerarly labeled – things like a set of bed sheets, a few towels, stuff you'll need the first night.
* Label all the boxes with the room that the contents will end up in. That way, the movers (or friends) can put the box in the correct room without having to ask you for each one.
We moved 2,500 miles last year and rented our own moving truck. There are usually deals out there for the truck if you call around. I also used blankets and clothes to keep breakables safe. I think everyone else has covered the rest!
I'm part of a military family and move quite a bit. The thing I recommend to my friends the most is http://www.whitefence.com. WhiteFence is a site where you can order and compare phone, cable, satellite, electricity, high-speed Internet. You can also change your address through the USPS.
Awesome ! Thanks! As a military wife getting ready to move , this is helpful and I will pass this information to other wives here as well !
Never buy packing materials. Stop by your favorite Chick-fil-A and ask them to save you all their boxes. The fry boxes are especially perfect for stacking, and they are big enough to be useful but small enough to pack heavy things in. Cup and napkin boxes are also great if you want something a bit larger.
Also, invite some strong friends to help you load/ unload. Feed them pizza for their trouble; its way cheaper than hiring movers.
Liquour stores have the best boxes cause they have handles in the sides on most boxes. Get rid of stuff you know longer want/need on freecycle before the move. Pack stuff you don't need first. When you get to your new place set up the things you packed last which was stuff you use on a daily basis, clothes, dishes, beds, kids stuff and set up right away especially beds for kids. Like the others said mark your boxes for which rooms to go to so you only move them once.
Liquor store boxes also come with cardbord inserts for bottles that are amazing for packing things like glasses or vases. I love Spec's. You can pull up to the unloading dock and they will fill your car up with boxes.
we used liquor and egg boxes (from the grocery) they are both strong!
I agree – best place I have found for boxes.
Call a local newspaper or printing company and ask for "End Rolls". Most usually give them away for FREE. Use this "ink free" paper to wrap things that need to be wrapped. You can ask for a couple of them and it will work.
For wrapping breakable plates and such:
Get some cheap foam plates at a Dollar Store or somewhere. Stack the plates by alternating regular plate, foam plate, regular plate, foam plate. Do as many as you feel safe wrapping together. It helps prevent them for "clanking" together and breaking. Wrap each stack in a towel for 'bumper" protection.
For silverware: Band all the forks together and rubber band them. Do the same for the rest of the silverware and put it right back in the tray. Slip the tray into a plastic bag and pack with kitchen stuff. Everything stays together for easy unpacking.
For clothes that are hangers: Take 13 gallon kitchen bags. Cut a small slit in the bottom of the bag(the sealed end) wide enough to fit 8-10 hangers. Bunch some of the clothes together and slip the bag over the clothes and the hangers through the small slit. Tie the bag at the open using the "handles" of the bag. The hangers will be sticking out for easy carrying, but the clothes will be protected in case of "Dropping". When you get to the new house, place clothes in your new closet, rip the bags off and your closet is almost organized already!
Hope you have a smooth and easy move!
Good tip & not just for when moving. I use foam plates in between my Teflon coated pots & pans to protect the non-stick surface & in between my glass casserole dishes.
The comment above, if you don't want to put a hole in your garbage bag just put your clothes in the bag and tie it around your hangers. Plus the force flex bags work wonders. you pay a little more but you can STUFF them full! They also stretch around the hangers!
We have moved many times. Here are suggestions to help with the cost. 1. Hire loaders and unloaders on each end, but rent the moving truck and do the driving yourself. This will save you LOTS of money, particularly if you can move during the week or are moving across state lines. 2. While you're packing and shredding, save the shredding for packing. It will help your breakables make the trip safely. 3. Look for online coupons, call for pricing, compare, compare, compare. The loaders we used cost $250 less because we used a pair NOT from the U-Haul site we rented our truck from. However, they were U-Haul site owners, so they knew exactly what the specials were, when to rent, were efficient packers, and worked like dogs to get it done. Cannot say enough about them AND they were inexpensive (we were able to tip generously, based on what they saved us). 4. BEFORE you move in, walk through the house and make simple repairs, paint and clean. It isn't cheap if you spill on your furniture and it isn't nice to move into someplace that's not as clean as you'd like it. 5. See if you can't overlap your move; have at least a week when you have the ability to "live" both places. This allows you to have a tag/estate sale at the old place for the things you can't move, but also allows you to see what does and doesn't fit in the new place. Plus you get some cash for the move. A professional should be able to help you with this for 20-30% of the take. Or, get some friends together, pay them a percentage to help you with the sale, and advertise in the paper, on Craigslist and on estate websites. Take pictures of the big/good stuff and post those to get the most traffic. Then have a charity pick-up available a day or two before you have to be out of the old place and take your tax deduction. 6) When you get to the new house, there will be stuff that you can't believe you moved. If you have enough, have a garage sale, otherwise, find a place to donate it in your new town. Schedule the pick-up for 2 weeks after your move. It will make you motivated to go through and unpack. Another fun idea is to invite your new neighbors for a free "garage sale" gift and a cup of coffee or lemonade. It's a good way to make new friends, eye the babysitters in the neighborhood, or get your teenagers hired to mow the grass, shovel snow or babysit.
Get the free boxes, then do this!
ALL boxes with kitchen items, color a RED square with a marker in one corner, then using a black Sharpie write 1. Then, get a 3×5 card and color a top corner RED and write "Kitchen – box 1″, then write all the contents of that box. This will make it easier when you unpack OR if you need to find something you have already packed!
Be cautious about using garbage bags. There are many horror stories out there about things being trashed that were not trash.
If you have real china (dinnerware) do not wrap in newspaper. It will make permanent stains.
Use towels and sheets to wrap wall art.
Use GIANT marker to write GLASS or UP [with an arrow] on boxes that have delicate items.
Back up all your computer data ahead of time.
Use a garage sale, Freecycle or Craigslist to get rid of stuff beforehand.
Have a NEED IT FIRST box or two. Toiletries, change of clothes, towels…
friends, beer, pizza and free boxes! I also recommend getting a larger-size uhaul than you may think you need. if you don't use all the space, the $20 increased charge would certainly be wasted, but in my experience i always under-estimate the amount of stuff i have, and end up driving the u-haul on two trips or leading a caravan of friends' cars carrying the rest of my boxes. when i choose to go up a truck size I can make one trip, no extra cars, no extra gas! and filling a u-haul tank for a second trip costs a lot more than the difference in the rates for the next-size truck.

I am a interior decorator in Northeast MS and I have moved a lot during the course of my life. I have found that it is always helpful to have a moving sale before moving to your new home. Not only will there be less to pack, but you will also have a few extra bucks to help with the moving expenses. Getting rid of old decor that you are not going to use in your new place or clothing that no longer fits means less packing=)
You could also use the extra money for new decor! Hope this helps….

New Proposal for Illinois Pension System
The Illinois income tax increase would be made permanent in the latest proposal to fix the state's underfunded pension systems.
The income tax plan approved by lawmakers temporarily increased the rate from 3% to 5%. It's scheduled to begin decreasing in 2014.
But Representative Lou Lang (D-Skokie) said the state can't afford that. Lang said Illinois taxpayers didn't create the pension problem, but it's a problem they're stuck with.
""We have a responsibility to fix it. And we have a responsibility to have shared sacrifice," Land said.
Lang's plan would also increase state workers' retirement age to 67 and have them pay more out of every check.
In addition, it would gradually require school districts and universities to take over the responsibility of paying for their employees' pensions.

HKBN Launches "A Gift Of Communications" For Old Mobile Phones
HONG KONG, Feb. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hong Kong Broadband Network Ltd ("HKBN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of City Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL), is pleased to announce our "A Gift of Communications" Initiative targeting to collect 5,000 sets of old mobile phones for the needy for redistribution via Caritas Hong Kong Computer Workshop. Working in partnership with Caritas Hong Kong Computer Workshop, the collected old mobile phones will be tested, refurbished and donated or sold to the needy at nominal cost. For the parts which are too old or cannot be repaired, they will be sorted and sold to recyclers and proceeds used to offset operating expenses of the workshop.
Mobile phones have vastly changed the way we communicate and become an indispensable part of daily life. In fact, Hong Kong has one of the highest penetrations of mobile services in the World. Despite this, there are underprivileged individuals who do not have a cell phone of their own, and your donation of old cell phones could greatly enhance the quality of life of them - Let's turn your old mobile into the Gift of Communications!
As the fastest growing broadband provider in Hong Kong, we will fully leverage our considerable group resources to support this appeal. From now until Mar 31, 2011, we have set up collection points at our 19 Fibre shop locations as listed in Appendix I, and will invite our customers to join this initiative via direct mail. For our overseas friends, please send your old cell phones to the Attention of Ms Annie Sin, Director - Administration, Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited, Level 39, Tower 1, Metro Plaza, No. 223 Hing Fong Road, Kwai Chung, N.T., Hong Kong.For privacy reasons, please kindly erase any saved data before sending us the cell phones. Caritas Hong Kong Computer Workshop could also help to delete all data by formatting.

UGG Australia Women's Bailey Button Triplet Winter Boots 8 8
This is a Christmas present for our Granddaughter, and won't be given until Christmas day. I will not know the real review until my granddaughter receives the UGG boots. These are not something I would have purchased for myself. I was however very disappointed that the 30% off offer, was reneged at the time of checkout. I have shopped at Dick's Sporting Goods here and in New Hampshire, with my husband and son, and have never been as disappointed as I was when ordering online, (only to find there was no discount). I checked "no', on "recommend this product", because it is not for me. Also I gave 4 stars because it hasn't been given yet. I don't know what the reaction will be. December 17, 2014
Most comfortable boot ever.. Highly recommend this boot to anyone..Comfort anf feel is A February 20, 2014
love it very warm and comftable but the draw back is that if you choose black color, your sock will be black too because the fur inside is stained black. To have button is good because it is easier to wear especially if you have quite big legs. February 6, 2014
Nice Good boots very warm does not make ur feet look big January 29, 2014
Good looking boot The shipment was on time. the boots look great. the size was accurate. stylish! January 4, 2013
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, these boots! I own these boots in this color and the chestnut. They are the MOST comfortable boots that I have ever owned, and I have owned many. They run big. I wear 8.5, but with these boots I wear a 7.0. Ugg suggests that you wear them without socks to get the full warmth and wicking properties. I have never worn mine with socks. I do suggest you prepare them for outside wear with the Ugg recommended products. I love my Uggs, it's like slipping your foot into a giant warm fuzzy slipper. December 3, 2012
Horrible! not the best boots in the world. your better off going for the normal tall because it is impossible to go anywere without getting one of the buttens stuck on something, and two of the buttens fell off! March 3, 2012
Great boots! Great for casual wear. I have received lots of great comments. Very versatile. Well worth the $$$ December 4, 2011

English Premier League Top 10 Scorers of All Time
- Updated: 28/11/2013
Two decades since the breakaway of the top twenty clubs in England and the formation of the Premier League, the competition has hosted some of the greatest strikers in the history of football. Here, we'll take a look at the ten top goal scorers since the current league system took shape.
1. Alan Shearer (260)
By far the most prolific striker of the Premiership years and arguably the greatest English striker of all time, Shearer established a record and legacy that place him comfortably at the top of this list. Scoring over thirty goals in three consecutive seasons between 1993 and 1996, the early years of Premier League football were personified by watching Shearer's feats.
2. Andy Cole (189)
Despite actually enjoying his highest scoring year while at Newcastle, Cole will be best remembered for his dynamic pairing with Dwight Yorke at Manchester United. Part of the now legendary 1998/99 treble winning team, Cole was a huge part of their success.
3. Thierry Henry (176)
For someone so high on this list, Henry spent a comparatively brief time in the Premiership. Transforming into a devastating striker while at Arsenal, Henry was part of possibly their best squad ever and scored more than 24 goals every season between 2001 and 2006.
4. Frank Lampard (168)
Lampard's inclusion on this list is all the more remarkable for the fact he plays as a midfielder. Posing a constant threat on the edge of the box, his long range efforts are often unstoppable and he is Chelsea's all-time top goal scorer.
5. Robbie Fowler (163)
Frighteningly quick and with some of the finest instincts in front of goal the game has ever seen, Liverpool legend Fowler might have been higher on this list if not for the emergence of Michael Owen as the club's star striker.
6. Wayne Rooney (162)
The only player with a realistic chance of reaching the heights of Shearer, given the age at which he began his Premiership goal scoring, Rooney has time on his side. The arrival of Robin van Persie at Manchester United has forced him into a deeper role but he still poses a constant threat.You can watch Manchester United live football streaming match for Capital One Cup , December 18th vs Stoke City at Britannica Stadium.
7. Michael Owen (150)
The sadness of Owen's ranking among the top goal scorers is that it would have probably been much higher, if not for the injuries that plagued his career. Beginning his Liverpool career remarkably young, less damage to his legs would have likely seen him still playing the game now.
8. Les Ferdinand (149)
Something of a journeyman, Ferdinand divided his great Premiership seasons between Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle. Had he not played some of his best years before the formation of the Premier League, he would have been higher on this list.
9. Teddy Sheringham (147)
Similarly to Ferdinand, Sheringham was playing some time before the reformation of the league structure. In spite of this, his remarkable consistency, even as he played into his forties, ensured he would be remembered as a Premiership legend.
10.Robin van Persie (129)
Another player whose career has been affected by struggles against injury, van Persie has been hugely efficient when he has been able to play a full season. His final season at Arsenal and first at United have been his best to date so that, now 30, he seems to be in the prime of his career.

Change of Life (Mudar de Vida)
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive
May 19, 2012
Directed by Paulo Rocha. With Geraldo del Rey, Isabel Ruth, Maria Barroso
Portugal 1966, 35mm, b/w, 90 min. Portuguese with English subtitles
The second and arguably most important film by Paulo Rocha (b. 1935), one of the central figures of the Novo Cinema, Change of Live is a direct response to Oliveira's Rite of Spring (and, indirectly, to Varda's Pointe Courte) and an important precursor to the radical documentary-shaped fiction of Trás-os-Montes and, much later, the work of Pedro Costa and Miguel Gomes. Captivated by the remote Portuguese fishing village of Furadouro, Rocha chose not to make a traditional documentary but rather to engage the specificities of the people and place through fiction, crafting a melancholy story about a soldier's return to a changing world. Inspired by his experience working with Oliveira on Rite of Spring and The Hunt, Rocha "cast" the local villagers as themselves, interspersed with experienced actors led by the great Isabel Ruth who would go onto become a Oliveira regular and an iconic presence in Costa's Ossos. The poetry of the local vernacular is captured in the textured dialogue written by Reis, who met Rocha through Oliveira. Regardless of the steadily building critical acclaim which followed the release of Change of Life – and despite its controversial depiction of a disillusioned Angola War veteran – Rocha effectively ceased filmmaking until the 1980s.
