Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Charles River Development (Burlington, MA).
Spoke to them at a campus event. They got back to me within a few days of speaking to them. Interview process was of one on campus interview at their headquarters. About a 2-3 hour long process, but fairly straight forward. Data structures, algorithms, linked lists were some of the topics. Also spend a portion going over my resume. Nothing unexpected.
Interview Questions
- would like to comply with disclosure agreement. Answer Question
I did not negotiate.
- No OfferNegative Experience
I applied through college or university – interviewed at Charles River Development.
The worst interview experience I had in my life. I am a student at a liberal arts college, and I talked to the recruiter at a career fair at a state university within the consortium. The recruiter took a look at my resume, took it back and emailed me the next day asking me if I can do an onsite interview and I said yes. And the next day she called me and asked if I have ever taken a class outside of my college, so I told her my study abroad experience and she said she would send me a confirmation letter very soon. I waited till the day before my onsite interview to get her reply as:" Our intern program primarily focuses on top 100 computer science schools... After discussing with our director of engineering we will be unable to continue the interview process with you." I felt terrible about myself after getting this email because I had to stay up for several days so that I could get my things done to commute to the company the next day. My school has a growing computer science department, it is small but people here are smart and they get into really awesome big tech companies. I would have been very depressed if I did not get accepted by a big company on the same day.
Interview Questions
- What classes have you taken outside of your college Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took a week – interviewed at Charles River Development (Boston, MA) in March 2015.
There was a brief 15 minutes interview and then a logic test followed. The interview was mostly the interviewer talking about the position and describing what qualities they are looking for. The logic test was 20 multiple choice questions on two different cases with different scenarios and limitations.
Interview Questions
- What do you know about the finance industry? Answer Question
Helpful (1)No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university – interviewed at Charles River Development.
Talked to them at a University Career Fair and got an email setting up an interview soon after. They did not call when the interview was scheduled so we had to reschedule for the next week. Asked mostly about the resume. What classes I've taken, and what I have learned in them. The person I spoke to didn't sound too friendly, but loosened up towards the end of the interview.
Interview Questions
- Two simple questions about Java were asked: What is polymorphism? And what is unique about Sets in Java? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Charles River Development (Burlington, MA) in February 2015.
1 general phone interview, 1 technical phone interview, 1 onsite interview that consisted of two technical interview. The recruiter and the interviewers were very nice. The questions were not too hard.
Interview Questions
- Basic OOP concepts, basic data structure problems. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Charles River Development.
Previous work ex, some basic financial industry based questions. 2 phone interviews followed by on site interviews. You also need to give a basic IQ test when on site. The interviews most of the time revolve around prior experience and how you'd contribute to CRD
Interview Questions
- Very simple interview process. Nothing unexpected Answer Question
- Declined OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Charles River Development (Burlington, MA).
One of the most bizarre places I've ever interviewed with. Came in the day of the interview, 2 of the 5 ppl I was supposed to meet weren't available. Met with the other 3, it went well. Every interviewee is given an analytics test (several logic questions/puzzles, taking an hour), and have to draft a 1-page writing sample. More than one of the interviewers commented on the eccentricity of the CEO, and I gather these tests are his brainchild. Are they really not going to hire someone that struggles with logic puzzles, but can otherwise excel at the position? Had a follow up call with the 2 ppl that were unavailable the day of the interview, both asked questions and for examples that were unrelated to the job responsibilities... very off-putting.
Interview Questions
- Questions unrelated to the job itself. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Charles River Development.
Flew me to company in Burlington for three rounds of interviews; spoke with 3 different interviewers including head of engineering department; one interview was over lunch; basically talked with team leads as well as other software developers.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Charles River Development.
Hiring process was through staffing company.

1854 Cent Pattern, Reduced From a Seated Dollar1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-157, Pollock-185, High R.7, PR64 PCGS. 51.08 grains. 61% copper, 26% nickel. 12% zinc. The obverse is derived from a Seated dollar obverse die, but crudely reduced by a circular lathe to the diameter of a contemporary half cent. The 4 in the date resembles a 1 because of the blurry reduction. On the reverse, 1 CENT is encircled by an oak and acorn wreath. Struck with a reeded edge in a German silver alloy with the combination stated above (and printed on the insert). Several compositions are known of this pattern, and only a few examples have been subjected to metallurgical analysis. The surfaces are remarkably bright and silver-like with a slight presence of hazy gray patina. Each side is relatively problem-free, which is significant when one considers the crude method used to produce these pieces. (PCGS# 11650)

Despite cost overruns for Watts Bar Unit 2 and a decline in revenues, TVA has not abandoned its plan to build a small modular reactor in Roane County.
"TVA will continue to participate on a team that will make a proposal to the Department of Energy in response to a cost-share program for the design and licensing of up to two small modular reactor designs," TVA spokeswoman Barbara Martocci said. "The site in Roane County will be part of that proposal."
A Rockwood Middle School student died Sunday from spinal meningitis at East Tennessee Children's Hospital.
The community had rallied around 12-year-old Morgan Peters, holding a prayer vigil for her last week in hopes that the very sick sixth-grader would pull through.
A Facebook page called Team Morgan was even created and children wore specially created shirts in her honor.
"Obviously, by the outpouring of people, you can tell how well she was loved," said her father Andy Peters. "She was definitely a hugger."

Dalton Broshears, a 4-year-old Roane County boy, could have everlasting scars from a pit bull attack that occurred earlier this week.
"He's lost an ear," grandmother Ann Wells said.
The attack occurred on Monday at 542 Emory Heights Road. According to a dispatch report, Annette Broshears called 911 and reported one of her dogs had bitten off her son's ear.
Dalton was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville.
A man suspected of robbing the Bank of America in Kingston on May 1 wasn't on the run for long.
According to a news release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Billy Joe Dugard, 36, was arrested in Columbus, Ohio on May 2.
The FBI said Dugard, of Crothersville, Ind., will be charged in federal court in Tennessee for robbing the Bank of America and a BB&T in Loudon County.
Both robberies occurred on May 1 less than an hour apart.
Dugard reportedly entered each bank, handed a note to the teller and demanded money.
The memory of John Calvin Henry, the namesake of The Henry Center, was honored recently by a state-level resolution.
The Henry Center, a daycare facility for children with and without disabilities, is part of the Michael Dunn Center's services to those with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
John Henry died late last month.
His parents, Jim and Pat Henry, have been long-time advocates for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities — even before John's birth.

Kingston officials may finally have the go-ahead to use leftover waterline funds to shore up its sewer system.
For months, the city has been in a quandary as to how to use monies available after the completion of a sewer project on Gallaher Road, enabled by a federal grant and loan program.
"The Sound from Heaven" is the theme of a special worship, testimony, activities and ministry planned by Harriman Lighthouse of Aglow International on May 26.
The event will start at 6:30 p.m. in the Princess Theatre at 421 N. Roane St., Harriman.
The celebration includes Hebrew dancing and a special presentation by Maxine Raines, founder and director of Lost Sheep Ministry, Knoxville.
Parishioners and guests at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Harriman, are asked to bring a new stuffed animal — with the tags still attached — to the 10 a.m. service on Mother's Day, May 13.
These toys will be brought forward for a blessing and then sent to area law-enforcement agencies to be used as needed.
Property deed transfers as recorded at the Roane County Courthouse Feb. 14-March 5:
From Shelia Ann Justice to Luther S. Hall and Dorothy S. Hall by warranty deed, Dist. 2, Hwy. 61/62, $8,000.

Common in origin, lacking the symmetry and color of more glamorous vegetables — even sometimes defamed for its carbohydrate content — the potato's place in history is still important.
Enjoyed by rich and poor alike, it is a powerhouse of nutrition. It is estimated that 12 million tons of potatoes are consumed annually. Potatoes rank with rice, wheat and corn as the world's most important crops.

Bible, Biblical, Christianity, Church, Jesus Christ, Resurrection
When we encounter the resurrection accounts in the New Testament we face a challenge in putting all the pieces together in a way that the sequence of the events flow in logical order. This is due to the fact that no one Gospel presents all, or even most of the data. Some of the data also seems to conflict. I tried to show in yesterday's blog that these apparent conflicts are not, usually, true conflicts. Another problem with putting all the facts together in a coherent and reasonably complete manner is that the time line of the events is often unclear in some of the accounts. Luke and John are the clearest as to the time frame of the events they describe but Matthew and Luke give us very few parameters. Both Acts and Paul also supply data wherein the time frame is not always clear.
Nevertheless I want to propose to you a possible, dare I claim, even likely, sequence of the Resurrection events…

The researchers found that generally in the more prosperous countries of Northern and Western Europe the trend was downwards for cancer incidence; the exceptions were for obesity-related cancers such as colorectal and postmenopausal breast cancer, and for tobacco-related cancers in women, such as lung cancer.
Incidence and mortality from tobacco-related cancer decreased for men in Northern, Western and Southern Europe, they increased for both sexes in Central Europe and for women nearly everywhere in Europe. With the exception of smoking-related cancers, mortality trends generally in most cancers were moving downwards for most of Europe.
Survival rates for most cancers generally improved. The researchers say this is due to better access to specialised diagnostics, staging and treatment. "Marked effects of organised or opportunistic screening became visible for breast, prostate and melanoma in the wealthier countries," they report. For instance, although the incidence of breast cancer continues to rise in most countries, deaths are declining and survival is improving. The rising incidence and survival rates are partly influenced by the presence of organised breast cancer screening programmes and even opportunistic screening that increases the detection of smaller and less aggressive tumours, resulting in decreased mortality after five to eight years. Survival and mortality is influenced also by improved staging and treatment, such

For those with two or more kids, what were some big costs of having a second child? Did it totally wipe you out? Also, was there something you would do differently knowing what you do now? Thank you!
For those with two or more kids, what were some big costs of having a second child? Did it totally wipe you out? Also, was there something you would do differently knowing what you do now? Thank you!
My blog: sleepingshouldbeeasy.com
Yeah, I said it.
When I analyzed our budget when we were deciding, here's what I came up with. Some of these happen immediately and phase out and others will happen later, but be long-term.
Daycare ~ $800/month
Diapers ~ $20 month (we have lots of cloth)
College Savings ~ $500/month (we believe in fully funding college)
Activities ~ $75/month
Summer Camp ~ $1500/year
Groceries ~$125/month
Clothing ~ $25/month
That comes to about $20,000/year. It might go down once daycare ended, but we use private school, so not by much; it might even go up.
We decided to stop with our first and not add to our family and do not regret the decision. It was not a primarily financially-based decision, but that did play a role. We want to retire early and didn't feel that was obtainable with a second child. We are a very happy family of three.
The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge. --B. Russell
No. We have not been wiped out for having two kids (or three). But, three is our max.
Our children are spaced out (3.5 years and 4.5 years), which helps on costs. DH also works part time, and I flex my work time so that we only need daycare 2 days a week. As for summers, we do get some family help, and for two children, we will be spending less than 800 for summer care.
We also do private school, but tuition is cheaper than part time daycare.
We are frugal with our kids anyway (garage sale clothing through age 5), minimal baby gear cloth diapers, limited amount of toys for birthdays/Christmas. We also don't feel it's necessary to buy our 5 yo an ipad. (Great that it works for some families, not just ours.)
We limit activities to two at any one given time, and we've asked the grandparents to help with saving for post-high school education rather than buying a ton of Christmas birthday gifts. (If my kids want to be an electrician or plumber, I'm not going to tell them no.) Our house should be paid off, and should be able to help cashflow the difference.
We also live in a medium cola (with the exception of daycare/housing costs).
ETA: We already had our financial house in order before we had our first kid. We had a fully funded EF, retirement savings, short/medium term savings, and no debt other than a mortgage.
I also save 3K to help with the costs of unpaid maternity leave. This year, we won't have that, so the 3K will help cushion daycare costs for the first year.
Having our 2nd didn't wipe us out, the timing wasn't the "best", but some say if you wait for the perfect time you may be waiting forever.
The main expenses for us were a 2nd daycare bill, diapers, and #2 has had more health challenges that set us back.
I have two girls, so I saved all of ODD's clothes/shoes so hand me downs have saved us a bit.
I think for us 2 is our comfort level where we can manager bills and still have an enjoyable life. I don't think we could comfortable afford a 3rd and that's probably mainly b/c of daycare/ aftercare and then I look at 3 in college at one time.
~ Nikki ~
For us the cost of a 2nd baby was next to none - nothing more than diapers hardly. The cost of a toddler just a few couple brand new outfits when I wanted them in matching outfits. The cost of our 3rd was a little more b/c I got rid of things but even then I knew what to buy and what not to and how great consignment stores were:)
Now at school age the cost of each kid is not cheaper for additional. They eat a ton at 12, 10 and 5 yrs old. We are a sports family so $100 for soccer for oldest, $100 for basketball, and $70 for dance. I want to add in the $50 for gymnastics but haven't done that yet. Preschool was a cost for each kid. Vacation is that much more expensive. Dh loves to snow skiing and that is expensive per kid. Yes you can go cheaper by not letting them do anything but we just don't want that. I don't even want to know what our food bill would be if we added a 4th kid. We are so done at 3 LOL.

Thanks for the advice, ladies!
I should have said that both my husband and I work, so child care is needed. My head is just spinning from the costs of having someone watch our infant while the older one would be in preschool. I did some numbers and we could afford it, but it just sucks that a quarter of our salaries is going straight to child care :(
Other costs I think are manageable. We kept a lot of our equipment, and we're frugal. Even having smaller savings as a result of a second child I can swallow. But the sudden spike of child care is what is scaring me!

I agree that while the short-term costs of having another baby may be minimized, the long-term costs of raising another child is substantial enough.

Before my time, apparently.
"(Houston) Flournoy's passing is also noteworthy because he was one of the few living veterans of a particular age in Capitol politics, the 1960s, that many consider to be the golden age of personal camaraderie and political progress. Centrists such as Flournoy dominated the Legislature's Republican contingent in those days and pragmatists controlled the Democratic majority, making agreement possible on a variety of issues. But the 1966 election also marked the beginning of the end of that era."
Now – "Centrists such as Flournoy centrists of either party could not survive in today's Capitol. Their few latter-day successors, such as former Assemblymen Keith Richman (a Republican) and Joe Canciamilla (a Democrat), were ostracized by their caucuses when they attempted to reinstate the kind of intraparty cooperation that thrived in the 1960s."

The Effects of Feedback on the Performance of Paraprofessional Behavior Modifiers and Their Retarded-Trainees
German, Mark
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectHospitals--Employees--Behavior; People with mental disabilities--Behavior; Behavior modification--Hospitals--Employees; Feedback (Psychology)
The problem. To determine whether the behavior modification skills of hospital attendants are improvable by program respecifications, delayed graphic feedback, or by immediate verbal feedback. To also determine if these improved skills would result in the desired behavior change in the retarded trainees. Procedure. The behavior modification performance of two trainers and the performance of their retarded trainees were measured and recorded throughout the two studies. After initial observation, the experimenter rewrote the program specifications for both studies, in order to improve their quality. Further improvement in the performance of the trainers and trainees was attempted by use of conventional feedback techniques in a multiple baseline design. Findings. The results show that more detailed and specific program specifications were successful in: 1) improving the trainers' ability to acquire the trainees attention precurrent to the cue, 2} increasing the appropriate use of verbal cues by the trainers, and 3) decreasing the rate of self stimulatory and disruptive behavior exhibited by the trainees. In Study II, when prompting specifications were increased in complexity, overprompting and a decrease in correct scheduling of prompts resulted. Delayed graphic feedback was effective in improving the prompting, reinforcing, and timing skills of the trainers. However, the ability of the trainer in Study II to accurately time the durations of the inter-related overcorrection procedures, was only improved by immediate verbal feedback. Improvements were maintained in all post feedback conditions. Conclusions. It was concluded that some shaping skills were easily improvable by program specifications, while other shaping skills required various types of feedback to improve. Moreover, these improved skills resulted in the desired behavior change of the trainees. Recommendations. It is recommended that to effectively improve trainee performance, program specification and feedback should be used, as needed, to improve the trainer's performance.

Article from Reuters (and CNN ) - May 24, 2005
Christian group abandons Disney boycott
Join a discussion on this article here.LOS ANGELES, May 24 (Reuters) - A conservative Christian group has ended a nine-year boycott of the Walt Disney Co (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research) , citing as "positive signs" the departure of Chief Executive Michael Eisner and the release of a film based on the children's book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
Mississippi-based American Family Association said it ended its campaign to stop Disney from "promoting homosexuality" to focus on "new challenges in the culture wars" such as the appointment of federal judges and same-sex marriage laws.
The group called off the campaign without achieving any of the changes in corporate behavior it sought, including a call for Disney to ban "Gay Day" revelers from its theme parks and set up an advisory panel of evangelical Christians.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. (NYSE: PRX) today announced that its generic division, Par Pharmaceutical, has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Glenmark Generics Limited and Glenmark Generics Inc., USA to market ezetimibe 10 mg tablets, the generic version of Merck & Co. Inc.'s Zetia, in the U.S. Zetia is a cholesterol modifying agent with annual U.S. sales of approximately $1.4 billion, according to IMS Health data. Glenmark believes it is the first to file an ANDA containing a paragraph IV certification for the product, which would potentially provide 180 days of marketing exclusivity. On April 24, 2009, Glenmark was granted tentative approval for its product by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Under the terms of the licensing and supply agreement, Par has made a payment to Glenmark for exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute ezetimibe in the U.S. The companies will share in profits from the sales of the product.
Glenmark is currently involved in patent litigation concerning ezetimibe in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Par will share control and costs with Glenmark for ongoing litigation. A trial is scheduled to commence on May 12, 2010.

'Slumdog' hits the jackpot at the Golden Globes
To DiCaprio, Winslet said: "I've loved you for 13 years and your performance in this film is nothing short of spectacular." To Mendes, she added: "Thank you for directing this film, babe, and thank you for killing us every single day and really enjoying us actually being in such horrific pain."
There was little surprise in the supporting-actor category. Virtually since he died nearly a year ago, Ledger has been the name on everyone's lips for that award.
Ledger won the prize for his diabolical turn as the Joker in the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight," raising his chances to become only the second actor to win a posthumous Oscar. The first was Peter Finch, who won the best-actor Oscar for 1976's "Network."
"Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan accepted the Globe for Ledger, who died Jan. 22 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Oscar nominations come out on the anniversary of Ledger's death.
"All of us who worked with Heath on `The Dark Knight' accept with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride," Nolan said. "After Heath passed, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema."
Among the stars Hawkins beat was Streep, who had a nomination for musical or comedy actress for "Mamma Mia!" Backstage, Hawkins said that as she walked up to accept her Globe, Streep asked, "`Are you happy now?' Yes, Meryl, I'm happy."

Council takes no action on Noe
CORPUS CHRISTI - The City Council took no action after a closed session Tuesday to discuss City Manager Skip Noe's performance and continued right into the rest of the regular meeting after a brief comment from the mayor.
"Several of our council members had concerns or questions. Their questions were answered," Mayor Henry Garrett said. "Now's the point for us to move forward with our education adviser so it can be a success for us."
Noe responded, "Thank you very much, sir," before the council moved onto discussing another agenda item.
Councilman Larry Elizondo, who asked that the discussion about Noe be put on the agenda, stepped out to address the media, saying the closed session was a chance to air out some concerns several members had about what they believe is a lack of communication from Noe.
Elizondo said that lack of communication was highlighted last week when Noe hired an education director who did not have a substantial background in education, as several council members, including Elizondo, had expected for that position.
"Some of us felt a little disconnected," he said. "We aired that out. Obviously we cleared that up."
Elizondo said questions about the process of hiring JoAnn Hooks as the director were answered appropriately and satisfied his concerns. The council will monitor trends in that area to gauge the effectiveness of this new position, he said.
"We have a very capable education adviser today," Elizondo said. "We'll see what she can do to enhance the opportunities with our local workforce."
Elizondo said the council members asked Noe to communicate more with them.
"It's good and healthy to have dialogue and we, too, can call a meeting if we're not clear on something," he said. "Maybe we need to do more of that to be sure we don't get off track."

I've been eating pizza here since the late 70's. I live an hour away and will happily drive here to get the pizza. One time, I had to eat the pizza in the car because i couldn't wait to get home. I hope they never close.
When I have a taste for authentic pizzaria style pizza, I always choose Gil's. Its the best REAL pizza!!!!!
We've been going to Gil's for three generations. It's the best kept secret for delicious pizza. I'm now in Harford County and wish they would move up here, especially since all of Harford Co., use to live in NE Balto. Come on Gil's owner, move up to Forest Hill you would not be sorry. I think when you do just...
Great pizza. The cheese is amazing as is the crust. Toppings are under the sauce. We enjoyed the "half-baked" version which is cooked the rest of the way at home- comes out perfect and not just "warmed up.
I grew up on this pizza in the 70's and tried one recently. Unbelievable! I can't wait to go back. Truly there is no pizza around that is this good.
In the old days in North East Baltimore, you had a few good choices for great pizza: LaPores, Ollie Becks, and Gil's. Gil's remains and still has the best pies in the area. It is a shame that the neighborhood has become a jungle and they have thick glass to protect the workers, but this is what the city has...
I don't know why, but we thought they went out of business. We were sad for years. Then someone corrected us, we started going back.
Still the same good solid ingredients, one size, basically one price, still GREAT PIZZA.
Note: it has good ingredients and like a real pizza, it's gonna be leaking oil. So when you get it, left...
This is an old Baltimore pizza place that makes just pizza. The combination of cheeses make this a special pizza. If you are looking for your toppings they are under the cheese. My favorite is the cheese on the well done side. Take out only,
My entire childhood my family drove 30 minutes each way to get take out from this place EVERY time we had pizza. To this day nothing else compares. One size only... Take out only... Cash only. They kept it simple... and got it RIGHT.
First pizza I ever had and still my favorite over 50 years later! I have had pizza all over the world and this is the most unique tasting. If you are trendy and pretentious, STAY AWAY!!! Leave Gil's alone. One size pie, minimal choice of toppings, nowhere to sit, but just heaven!

Without voting representation in Congress, Puerto Rico has often had to depend on Members like Congressman Serrano to ensure the island is treated with respect and fairness.
Congressman Serrano was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and though he moved to New York with his family at age six, he has always identified strongly with his Puerto Rican identity. His great love for Puerto Rico and its people has been the source of many of his greatest accomplishments in Congress. From ending the Navy's bombing of Vieques, to opening the FBI's files on actions against Puerto Ricans, to ensuring fair economic treatment for Puerto Rico, Congressman Serrano has always sought to ensure that Puerto Ricans are treated the way any other American citizen group would be treated.
On one issue in particular, Congressman Serrano has been a leading voice--self determination for Puerto Rico. A territory of the United States since 1898, Puerto Rico has always had a strained and often painful relationship with the United States. Congressman Serrano believes that this relationship, called territorial officially, is actually best described as 'colonial.' Because the U.S. Congress has complete control over the terms of the relationship, and also can interfere in Puerto Rico's internal affairs, Congressman Serrano believes that any ability of Puerto Ricans to choose their own destiny is essentially denied. Therefore, he believes that the U.S. Congress must start the process of self determination, by setting forth the options that they would be able to accept should the Puerto Rican people chose one or another.
Congressman Serrano believes that among all the ideas for future status for Puerto Rico, only two are viable and non-colonial. He is indifferent between the two, which are either independence or statehood. He opposes and could not support any continuation of a colonial relationship. He often says that he is the member of a Puerto Rican political movement that has only one member--Congressman Serrano--because he does not favor any particular outcome of a status rearrangement, except anything colonial. Congressman Serrano is the co-sponsor of a bill to begin this process, and has worked tirelessly to push the bill through the House.
Congressman Serrano has been actively involved in both ending the bombing on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico and in assisting with its subsequent cleanup. Like many other politicians and people of conscience, Congressman Serrano opposed the Navy bombing of this island. In 1999, this bombing exercise reached a point of crisis, when two errant bombs killed a civilian Puerto Rican security guard. Congressman Serrano continued to protest these training exercises and was subsequently arrested for an act of civil disobedience after he stood in front of the White House with a sign asking for an ending of the bombing. Finally, in May 2003, the Navy officially ended their 60 years of bombing exercises.
Once the bombing ended, Congressman Serrano shifted his efforts towards the cleanup of the contamination that had been caused by this bombing. He secured strong language in the Defense Appropriations Committee Report for FY 2004 saying that the Committee expected the Navy to provide sufficient levels of funding to meet the Navy's commitment to undertake environmental remediation on the island of Vieques. However, he remained concerned not only about the damage caused by the training activities to the island's environment and natural resources, but also about the incidence of cancer and other diseases caused by the increase in pollutants released by the Navy's operations.
As ranking Member of the Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations Subcommittee, Congressman Serrano secured funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to enable NOAA to bring its expertise to this important environmental restoration effort. As a result of this funding, NOAA worked closely with the Navy and the EPA on projects such as underwater surveys, educational outreach, and marine habitat assessment.
Congressman Serrano continues to monitor the cleanup progress on Vieques. He believes that our government has an obligation to achieve justice for the people of Vieques, who have paid a high price for the protection of our nation, by repairing the damage caused to their home by over 60 years of bombing.
Congressman Serrano also pushed for the declassification of FBI records regarding the Bureau's activities over multiple decades in Puerto Rico targeting independence activists and unrelated citizens. In the spring of 2000, he asked then-FBI head Louis Freeh to release these secret files. To the surprise of many he agreed, and soon after, Congressman Serrano's office began receiving the files. Serrano reached an agreement with the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, CUNY, to receive and catalog these files and provide access to scholars and students. Since then, the files have revealed a covert program that operated from the 1930's to the 1970's which targeted independence activists, sympathizers and unconnected citizens. The knowledge of these programs has strengthened Puerto Rican hands when it comes to dealing with the FBI in the present day, and will hopefully prevent future damaging programs from being implemented.
Congressman Serrano's roots in Puerto Rico have pushed him to take many actions on behalf of the proud island and its people. He believes that all who are U.S. citizens, and fight and die on behalf of our great nation deserve the respect and honor they are due. He will continue to push the U.S. Congress to treat Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican people with fairness and respect.

Ah. The first day of school in your new school. It's always the first day that gets you going. New students, teachers, lockers. You go into the front door and sit at a random desk. You look around the classroom. Then, you see, the most beautiful girl you have ever seen. You feel as though as if your heart is going to explode. You then see a boy (Usualy, they are fat) that goes next to her. He looks a little rich because of the shoes, and clothes. He then says as you eavesdrop "I'm the most awsome person in the world! I can do anything!" This, is what we call a showoff.
He is the one who says he can do "anything" but do well in school.
Help me. Because I am the guy in the new school.

51 year old man | Smyrna, TN, USA | Seeking women 35-50 within 50 miles of Nashville, TN
I wanna hold the hand that's inside you.
Back again on match. I have not met my soul mate, but I have some interesting stories from this experience. Like the lady who informed me that she could not make it to our first meeting because she was "too drunk to leave the house." I have learned a few things about the English language that this English Minor did not know, for example, curvy really means morbidly obese. Hope springs eternal, let's see who this subscription turns up. I occasionally suffer from writer's block, now is one of those times. I have been dating since 8-tracks, so I know what is essential to being in a great relationship. I am looking for my last first meeting, my last first date, my last first kiss, and the start of my only great love affair. Is that too much to ask? A very important thing to know about me is that I am a single father, so everything I do has an effect on someone else. I choose carefully the people that I let into my life, and I do not want to sound rude, but if you are on the way to joining a group that ends in Anonymous, I am probably not the guy for you. I am a healthy, sane, stable man and I intend staying that way. So if you have it together and think we might have a good time, then send me some mail, I might not have come across your profile, yet.

guida vs pettis
just another fight that shows how much ufc judging su.ccks. i mean guida didnt do sh.it and got the win. how is it important that you can take your opponent down and lay on him for 5 mins ? that greasy mofo didnt even use his fists to punch so that thered be no chance of getting submitted, instead he used his shoulders to hit pettis. but that did like NO damage at all. hate boring fights like this, judges should start making shi.t like that a draw so that fighters like guida would at least try to do damage and actually finish the opponent

I agree. I was just watching the last DREAM: Fight For Japan card yesterday and all those fights were freakin' sick but most went to a decision but the right guys won. I don't get how laying on top of somebody wins you the fight, Pettis was alot busier and easily out struck him on the feet.
It's bull***** how these wrestlers are killin' the UFC...

It's pretty ***gy yeah, but he was striking Anthony...just because you've no appreciation to the shoulder strike doesn't mean Guida didn't land more strikes....It looked a lot like he was jump humping Pettis....terrible fight, but I don't blame the judges...I blame the rules...MMA desperately needs too look at the rules for what is a useful strike, and what's just coasting enough to stop the ref from standing them up....IMO if you time how long Clay layed about humping Pettis there's no way he wasn't just riding the time out in dominate position...
Pettis shouldn't be so easy to take down if he want to strike...I've no problem with ground fights...if they actually fight...you know....make an attempt to seriously injury your foe...

It's the same as the freakin Miguel Torres-Demtrius Johnson fight. That fight was freakin awesome though. Torres did way more off his back and all Johnson did was win off takedowns. Another clearly robbery and reason why these fools need to change the rules of scoring to the Japan standards. Except do it round by round instead of judging the whole fight because you forget some ***** sometimes. But Japan rules neutralize wrestlers.
Thats why Japanese fighters can't be successful over here except Okami. UFC is all about control where their fights are always about attack. You can't win by LNP over there hardly ever. Those fights last week where sick! If the UFC put on cards like them nobody would be talking ***** this sport would be 10x more popular.

As for the fight. I was just short of dumbfounded. I was sitting there and going "how the **** is Guida doing this and my boy Benson couldn't? He is just as good a wrestler."
Then i realized at the 3rd round. Benson wasn't fighting like a bitch. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the wrestling, otherwise I wouldn't like Okami. But when you hold a guy in the cradel for 15 secs and the can-opener for 30secs, stand them the **** up!

This is MMA, you can't complain about Guida a WRESTLER doing what he knows best.
Pettis couldn't keep him off of him and couldn't stop the take down. He did well off his back defending the ground and pound but Guida also defended the subs very well.
Styles my friends, it's what happened in this fight. Guida dominated this fight and Pettis had no answer for him.
What did you want Guida to do, stand with Pettis and get KO'd?

lol, actually..... yes. Yes he should stand up and get KO'd.
Guida loss his warrior status if you ask me. He isn't a warrior anymore. He can be considered a good fighter but warrior, no. He gets scared shytless of Gomi and now the UFC-rookie Pettis.

They were a little too rusty to be more than a sacrificial piece, but they work fantastic for making a Lahti/PSL mag hybrid that feeds decently. IIRC Apex was selling them for $10-$15 each back then. I am looking for at least one each, preferably two, and am willing to buy or trade, but would prefer to trade. I have all kinds of stuff that is trade worthy. AK grips, various AK shoulder stock and fore grip pieces, drill bits, end mills, reamers, precision measuring equipment (c- mics, calipers, etc....). Let me know, thanks.

For information on short-term mission program, please click here. For information on the regular lay mission program, please read below.
Lay missioners men, women and married couples endeavour to integrate their faith with the reality of the world, by living the Gospel of Jesus among other peoples and cultures. They wish to discover and reverence God already present in the lives of ordinary people, wherever they go. Witnessing their faith through lives of love, justice and service, lay missioners feel called to use their gifts and talents humbly and earnestly.
Called to be prophetic like Christ, lay missioners strive to seek truth and offer solidarity in word and action in the midst of the weak and poor. They desire to form relationships, which are equal, trusting, affirming and respectful, hopeful in building a sense of self-worth and dignity in the people they are accompanying. Christ is then transmitted by the very fibre of their lives.
One distinctive role of mission is participating with the local people, priests and sisters in building a vibrant Christian community. Lay missioners offer a variety of unique gifts, witnessing God's love for all, within the Christian community and beyond. The focus of mission is unity of all peoplesone family in God. Lay missioners share joyfully and enthusiastically in serving the Reign of God.
"The witness of a Christian life
is the first and irreplaceable form of mission."
Pope John Paul II
All are Called to be Missioners
All Christians, by virtue of their baptismal dignity, share the responsibility to be missionary. Scarboro lay missioners feel called by Christ to participate in the universal mission of the Church. They willingly go to witness to God's love, justice and peace wherever they are sent in the world. Grateful for their faith and the experience of God's many blessings in their lives, they are eager to share their personhood, talents and experience of God with other peoples and cultures.
Called and guided by the spirit, Scarboro lay missioners go beyond the familiar to search for the presence of God among other peoples. In responding to this call of God, they learn to be open to change and growth in themselves and the ongoing process of conversion
Sent by the Church from Local Parishes
Life at the heart of a vibrant parish community nourishes and nurtures its members to go again and again into the world in loving service as Christ's disciples. From the very origins of Christianity, laity as individuals, families and entire communities have always shared in the responsibility for missionary activity. Lay missioners, who go out to the world beyond, reflect the missionary nature of their local churches. They give expression to the essential missionary vocation of their local faith communities.
Recognizing and celebrating the commitment of some of its members who go in mission to other peoples and cultures is important to a local parish community. A missionary vocation is not just a personal choice, but a charism that is meant to be shared with others.
Scarboro lay missioners are missioned from their local parishes by way of "mission sending celebrations." These celebrations are opportunities for the community to recognize and offer support to those who are being sent. It is through the presence and activity of lay missioners that the bonds of communion between the sending and receiving churches are strengthened.
Journey of Sacrifices and Blessings
Lay missioners accept the challenge to leave behind family, friends and security. They agree to live with an inevitable degree of obscurity, risk and personal sacrifice.
Although these challenges are a reality of daily life in mission, a sense of humor and an adventurous spirit lighten burdens. New languages, new foods and new customs all enhance the missionary journey. The many life-giving moments among new and special friends provide joy and equilibrium to this lay missionary adventure.
Entering the Lives of the People
To enter into the lives of the people among whom the lay missioner lives, experiencing their daily struggles for survival, sharing their pain and their celebrations, to be in touch with their experience of God and of their history as a people, loved and saved by God, is the very core of being a lay missioner. "Being" in relationship is more important than "doing."
At times, this immersion into the lives of the poor, oppressed or dehumanized demands that lay missioners advocate and work fervently for essential change. Accompanying those that are voiceless and powerless is what God asks of a Scarboro lay missioner.
As followers of Jesus, Scarboro lay missioners are committed to living simply, positively and non-violently, while at the same time challenging all that is oppressive or demeaning in our own and other cultures.
"this is what Yahweh asks of you: only this, to act justly,
love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God"
Micah 8
Discovering God in the Peoples of Other Religious Traditions
"Are we willing to go out "in twos and threes" to all peoples both at home and abroad to exchange and share in faith? Are we willing to have our faith challenged and deepened by participating in the "God" experience of other religions? The authenticity of our Catholic faith calls us to go forth. Can we find others of like mind to journey with and work together so that we may be more in the image of God? Yes, we can if we are willing to listen and dialogue."
Fr. Brian Swords, S.F.M.

Rugby Championship: New Zealand and South Africa set to collide
Last Updated: 14/09/13 8:23am
New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has backed Sam Cane to rise to the challenge of tackling South Africa in Saturday's top-of-table Rugby Championship clash.
The top two sides in world rugby will collide in a mouth-watering encounter at Eden Park, which will be shown live on Sky Sports 3 HD.
However the All Blacks will be without their talisman Richie McCaw after the captain was injured in the victory over Argentina last time out.
That means athletic Chiefs back-row will get his chance on the openside - and Hansen believes the 21-year-old can shine.
"He's ready. He's a good athlete and mentally he's able to put things in perspective," said Hansen.
The inclusion on Cane is one of five changes made for the clash - with Dane Coles, Liam Messam, Owen Franks and Ma'a Nonu also handed starts.
The job of stopping the powerhouse breaks of Nonu in the centres will fall to South Africa captain Jean de Villiers.
And although the Springboks have not won at Eden Park in 76 years, the visitors are the last team to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand.
De Villiers scored a try in that 32-29 victory in Hamilton in 2009 and he believes there is no reason why the Boks can't emulate the feat on Saturday.
"It just shows nothing is impossible," he said.
"It's first of all a massive challenge but secondly one that we can really look forward to."
The Boks will go into the game with an unchanged line-up, having beaten Australia 38-12 last time out.
New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brodie Retallick, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements:16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Charlie Faumuina, 19 Steven Luatua, 20 Matt Todd, 21 Tawera Kerr Barlow, 22 Beauden Barrett, 23 Charles Piutau
South Africa: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Jean de Villiers (captain), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Flip van der Merwe, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Adriaan Strauss, 17 Gurthrö Steenkamp, 18 Coenie Oosthuizen, 19 Juandré Kruger, 20 Siya Kolisi, 21 Jano Vermaak, 22 Pat Lambie, 23 Jan Serfontein.

A few fallen trees here and there, the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary closed for safety reasons, some flooding in Modin, but no major threat to humans in the State of Israel and environs. This precipitation in the Holy Land is a blessing. The value of every millimetre that falls is truly great. People should have gratitude for the rainfall. They should not grizzle not too much about some temporary inconvenience. P.S. More people should understand the true meaning of the Eleventh Article of Faith by Maimonides. Good reign for good rain perhaps ?
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.

I (almost) pity those people that can't enjoy a rainy day at the park. When the clouds start looking black and pendulous there's only one place I want to be.
I've been a southern Californian all my life. To me, rain is a novelty and snow is something you have to take a vacation to witness.
So after work yesterday I hopped over to the park, bringing along my camera since I knew everything was going to be damp.
Today was a great day to exercise the "Goth / Death Rock" playlist on my Nano. The soundtrack when I entered the park was "Dawnrazor" by Fields of the Nephilim. When I didn't pass through a musical part of the resort I was listening to Switchblade Symphony, London After Midnight, The Cure, etc. I was an eyeliner-wearing teenage goth and I still attend every Bats Day. That probably has something to do with how much I enjoy the weather. On with the tour, yes?
This is something about DCA that has annoyed me since day one, and I really hope they'll address this over the next decade - the lack of a controlled view. Here I am in the center of DCA staring at what? The Anaheim Convention Center. How magical.
Recipe for a zen time - a glass of cabernet, a cloudy sky and a misty breeze.
"First of all, we're not sea gulls. Secondly, it's cold. Knock yourself out."
"Sorry, Fred."
Work continues unimpeded on Midway Mania.
Easy come, easy go.
Now you've just got to have one, don't you? Me too.
People-watching with a double-shot of espresso.
Blithe hijinks. I don't know who she is but that's my favorite Alice.
I'd never seen the line this short, so I got on Peter Pan.
While I was in the queue it started to rain.
And what do you know? Once I exited the ride, the sun was shining. Which just goes to show you: in SoCal, even when it's already raining, there's only a 50/50 chance it's raining.
This is what they call a "wet down" in the movie biz. It means dumping a layer of water on the ground to make everything prettier. Next time a car-commercial comes on the telly, pay attention to the ground.
Look! Golden sunshine at last! Come out, everyone, it's okay!
My umbrella and I took a ride on the Submarines.
Empty canals in Small World.
This little girl was losing her mind with excitement over the Power House. She just couldn't get enough of that sound.
Is me. Heraldry shop.
The inviting warmth of the Mercantile Shop. Even if the merchandise is all gentrified and boring. They used to sell things like bowler hats.
If you're one of those people who has a conniption over people snapping cameraphone pics of their ride photos or of themselves posing with a hat - this one's for you.
In case no one has yet posted a picture of these new balcony initials, here you go.
At this point my camera ran out of juice, and I didn't get any pictures of the lovely lights on Main Street reflected in the street puddles.
Oh well. I'll be looking back at these pictures whenever I need a slight pick-me-up. I hope they've been of some enjoyment to you as well.
See you at the park.
