Affiliate revenue grew 13% and 42% at the domestic and international cable channels, respectively. Domestic network growth reflects higher rates across all networks, led by growth at the Fox News Channel and RSNs. Approximately 40% of the international affiliate revenue increase reflects strong local currency growth at the non-sports channels at FIC and STAR. The balance of the growth was principally from the inclusion of Fox Pan American Sports ("FPAS") and Fox Star Sports Asia, partially offset by the impact of the strengthened U.S. dollar.Advertising revenue at the domestic cable channels grew 8% in the quarter over the prior year period driven by growth across most networks. The international cable channels' advertising revenue improved 29% from the prior year quarter. Nearly two-thirds of the international cable revenue increase reflects strong local currency growth at the non-sports channels at FIC and STAR. The balance of the growth was from the inclusion of FPAS and Fox Star Sports Asia, partially offset by the impact of the strengthened U.S. dollar.

Regal Comments on The Rock, Latest on Mysterio & Sin Cara at WrestleMania 28
by Amish Patel - March 06, 2012
– WWE NXT matchmaker William Regal wasn't happy with The Rock's comments about England on last night's RAW from Boston. Regal wrote:
"A lot of British bashing by The Rock on #Raw.He wants to not worry so much about John Cena and worry about getting a dry slap from me."
– It's still up in the air whether Sin Cara or Rey Mysterio will be cleared to perform at WrestleMania 28 in Miami. WWE will still have one major Latin star on the card as Alberto Del Rio is ready to return. The hope is that Del Rio doesn't re-injure his groin again from returning too soon.
WWE was hoping to book Mysterio vs. Cara for WrestleMania this year and try to break the world record for most people wearing masks at once in the same place. It's said that even if Mysterio and Cara can't compete, they can still appear for the world record angle, if WWE still decides to do it.

Newborn choking while nursing
Comments (10)
Could be your letdown is too forceful, this has happened to my lo when he nurses in motn and I am really full. Try pumping a little first so it's not so forceful is what I have read to do in that case.
The first few weeks/month of bf is always the most nerve wrecking. It sounds like your doing a great job! Stick with sites like Kellymom for facts on bf since it is reliable. From personal experience, I don't think you need to worry about aspiration either. Your baby will work it out! Good luck!
Alexandria Catherine - Born September 1, 2010
Annabelle Margaret - Born November 4, 2012
Google "kellymom oversupply" and you'll find more info on oversupply and forceful letdown. If the symptoms sound familiar that's likely your issue.
If those don't sound familiar, then it could be that baby has something going on with his oral anatomy that is making it difficult for him to swallow properly. If you determine that you don't have oversupply/forceful letdown, then def get baby's mouth evaluated by a pedi and/or an IBCLC asap.
Something to help ease your mind a little bit - at least if baby is aspirating breast milk it's not anywhere near as horrible as if baby was aspirating formula or water. Formula in the lungs can easily turn into pneumonia. Breast milk in the lungs, while not ideal, actually bind to any bacteria in the lungs or upper respiratory tract and help baby stay healthier. Obviously too much BM in the lungs is bad, but a little bit should not hurt baby despite freaking out mom!
If your ped is not familiar with BFing or is not BFing friendly he may scare the heck out of you and make you want to quit BFing. If this is the case, be sure to get a second opinion - go to www.ilca.org to find an IBCLC near you for hands on help. It'll be expensive, but compared to the cost of formula it'll be worth every penny.
Don't worry....it is common. Read this: kellymom.com/bf/got-milk/supply-wor...

From: Larry S. Fisher
The primary election will be held in Columbus on May 6. Among the electoral positions is judge of Bartholomew Superior Court 2. I ask that you consider casting your vote for Judge Kathleen "Kitty" Coriden. She has proven in the past nine years of serving as judge that she is not only capable to serve as judge of Bartholomew Superior Court 2 but that she does so in a compassionate, fair-minded and ethical manner.
I have known Coriden for more than 20 years. In addition to her legal qualifications, her personal commitment to the community through numerous volunteer committees and her overall love for our city enhances the educational qualifications she possesses. She also has a personal commitment to the financial concerns of the county taxpayer. Every year she was able to keep the budget in line and bring money into the county, returning money to the General Fund.
Also, in regards to this nonsense regarding Coriden switching parties, might I remind you that the Bartholomew County Republican Central Committee welcomed her to the party. This foolishness is nothing more than a smoke screen to divert voters from focusing on her qualifications and experiences.
Voters, let's not take a chance on her opponents who do not hold the legal, life and judicial experience that Coriden does, experiences that have proven to be essential for a successful judge of Bartholomew County. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

CTM17260 - Distributions: demergers: clearance procedure and returns
The legislation provides a clearance procedure. Under this a company that wants to demerge trading activities can obtain advance confirmation from HMRC that the distribution that will arise will be an exempt distribution.
Similarly, a company can ask for advance confirmation that a payment it proposes to make will not be a chargeable payment - see CTM17290.
Such transactions usually have tax implications. As a result, the vast majority of cases involve use of the advance clearance procedure.
Clearance applications and the administration of the demerger provisions generally are the responsibility of the Clearance and Counteraction Team, Counter-Avoidance. Apart from making reports in certain circumstances, officers should only take action on this legislation on advice from the Clearance Team.
Except where otherwise shown below, any correspondence relating to the demerger provisions should be sent to
HM Revenue & Customs
Clearance and Counteraction Team, Counter-Avoidance
CTIS Clearance S0528
PO Box 194
Bootle L69 9AA
Telephone 03000 589004.
Fax 03000 589802.
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Details of how a company makes a clearance application in connection with the demerger legislation are given in SP13/80. Members of the public can obtain copies of SP13/80 from the HMRC Internet site.
Officers should refer all other enquiries relating to this legislation to the Clearance and Counteraction Team. If the enquiry is urgent the enquirer may telephone the Clearance and Counteraction Team on 03000 589004. However if the enquiry relates solely to chargeable gains matters (other than clearances under TCGA92/S138 or TCGA92/S139 (5)) officers should refer enquirers to Specialist PT (Capital Gains Technical Group), and to Code of Practice 10 if appropriate.
Return of exempt distribution CTA10/S1095
Where a company makes an exempt distribution it must make a return within 30 days of making the exempt distribution. The return is made to an officer of HMRC giving details of the distribution and the reason why it is exempt.
If the demerger is in accordance with transactions for which HMRC has given clearance, the return should simply confirm this.
HMRC Clearance and Counteraction Team provide details for officers of all demergers where they have given or refused advance clearance. (This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Return of chargeable payments CTA10/S1096
The legislation imposes a similar requirement for a return in respect of a chargeable payment (see CTM17290) if a chargeable payment is made within five years of an exempt distribution.
In certain circumstances a company not directly involved in the demerger, or a person other than a company, can make the return.

Skool Principal

The Skool Principal is the current principal of the Skool. He is first heard speaking on the phone to Ms. Bitters in the episode Tak: The Hideous New Girl, where he makes loud pig sounds to an outraged Bitters. He also makes a larger appearance in the episode The Voting of the Doomed, but only as a silhouette. He brainwashes Willy to make it so that he does not complain about the terrible conditions of the Skool, namely the dirty bathrooms. The principal has a pet beaver who appears with him in The Voting of the Doomed. This is a homage to the stereotypical 'Evil Mastermind', who usually carries around a Persian cat. The beaver also appears to be petting something itself, although what is unclear.
The Skool Principal does seem to have a softer side, though, as he allowed the Skoolchildren to celebrate Valentine's Day in Tak: The Hideous New Girl, against Ms. Bitters' wishes and lets them get a skool pet to 'lessen their misery'.

Kimock is instrumental in the music scene
By: Paul Cambra, Features Editor
Veteran Bay Area guitarist brings all-star lineup to Grass Valley
Steve Kimock
With Bernie Worrell, Wally Ingram and Andy Hess
When: 8 p.m. Saturday, March 30
Where: The Center for the Arts. 314 W Main Street, Grass Valley
Tickets: $25 members, $30 non-member. Available at The Center Box Office, (530) 274-8384 ext. 14; BriarPatch Co-op Community Market, (530) 272-5333; www.thecenterforthearts.org.
Seems like Steve Kimock has made a career out of playing with legendary Northern California musicians. And we're not just talking members of the Grateful Dead, though he did time with just about every member for the better part of three decades. There were names like Bruce Hornsby, Melvin Seals, Pete Sears, John Cipollina and Nicky Hopkins.
But they all came in tied for second when he had to name his favorite person the share the stage with.
"The most rewarding, by far, is playing with my son John," Kimock said, from his home in Lehigh Valley, Pa. "By some incredible blast of goodwill, my first born grows up to love music and be a fantastic musician."
John Morgan Kimock, 23, will not be accompanying his father on the trip to Grass Valley at the end of the month. There will, however, be a top-notch trio of well-traveled players alongside him on stage. Drummer Wally Ingram has played with Sheryl Crow and David Lindley. Bass player Andy Hess boasts the Black Crowes on his resume. And keyboardist Bernie Worrell? Well, he's only a founding member of Parliament-Funkadelic and a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer to boot.
"I get to see this guy every night go through his stuff, he can't play anything wrong," Kimock said. "He was one of those child prodigies on the classical piano. He's got this ridiculous innovative use of synthesizer for melodies; he's equal parts European classical and cartoon music. It's a delight to play with him every night."
Kimock's reputation has largely been based on instrumental improvisation; just don't call them a jam band.
"In the late 70s 'jam band' was a slur the music industry came up with," he said. "It was like a slam on the live music scene because they couldn't get their manufactured boys bands to sell tickets. I never embraced that handle. Even today it's so ill defined, maybe more of a marketing handle as opposed to a musical style."
That being said, while Kimock has touched upon a slew of genres over the years — folk/rock, salsa, psychedelic — most of his bands have not had singers, though his salsa band, "The Underdogs," with saxophonist Martin Fierro, did on more than one occasion have an "eternally pregnant woman" sing everything in Spanish for them.
"We're mostly instrumental with a good bit of improvisation because I'm a terrible singer," he said. "Bernie sings some, and I am occasionally pressed into service, as some kind of novelty act. A lot I write is song spaces that are right for putting your imagination into it, with space for listening."
Kimock moved back to Pennsylvania 10 years ago to be closer to family. He grew up in Bethlehem, and, like many who were 10 years old when the Beatles hit the scene, thought it would be cool to be in a band.
"I remember I saw Joan Baez on TV, finger picking and I thought 'that was so cool, how do you do that?'"
But for all of the musical styles he consumed — from John Coltrane to Captain Beefheart to Ravi Shankar — his greatest musical influences were still family and friends.
"It's the people you are closest to that make the biggest impression," he said. "My Aunt Dottie was a folk singer, my cousin played the guitar. To this day, I can't pick up the bottleneck without thinking of Billy Goodman, or the slide guitar without thinking of Frank (the folk/rock group The Goodman Brothers was his first Bay Area band)."
Kimock said he looks forward to a return to Northern California. For all his time spent on San Francisco stages, he always lived a rural life, in either west Marin or Sonoma County, for a while caretaking a sheep ranch in Bodega Bay. He feels more comfortable creatively in a natural setting.
"I get super jangled in a city," he said.
So then, how does a Pennsylvania country boy fare in Japan? The band is fresh off a headlining slot at the Fuji Rock Festival.
"The whole experience to me feels like getting abducted by aliens and dropped into this advanced civilization," Kimock said. "The language barrier is insurmountable. Anywhere I go in Europe I can at least read the alphabet and figure stuff out. But Japan is like another planet."
It was, however, not without its high points, Kimock found the fans there to be a more than capable audience.
"The coolest thing, at least as it pertains to music, is they are so into the music as an audience," he said. "They really follow the dynamics of the band, they are very participatory. When you are hushed they curl up and hush with you and when you jump on it they're on their feet."
Will Nevada County be up to the task in measuring up to the Japanese audiences? It may not matter to Kimock. He'll just be happy they speak the same language.
Steve Kimock, with Bernie Worrell, Wally Ingram and Andy Hess will play the Center for the Arts on Saturday, March 30. Tickets are available at The Center Box Office, BriarPatch Co-op Community Market and online at www.thecenterforthearts.org.

The KPMG study, Expect the Unexpected: Building Business Value in a Changing World, explores issues such as climate change, energy and fuel volatility, water availability and cost and resource availability, as well as new urban centres spawned by population growth. The analysis examines how these global forces may impact business and industry, calculates the environmental costs to business, and calls for business and policymakers to work more closely to mitigate future business risk and act on opportunities.
Michael Andrew, Chairman of KPMG International, says: "We are living in a resource-constrained world. The rapid growth of developing markets, climate change and issues of energy and water security are among the forces that will exert tremendous pressure on both business and society.
"We know that governments alone cannot address these challenges. Business must take a leadership role in the development of solutions that will help to create a more sustainable future. By leveraging its ability to enhance processes, create efficiencies, manage risk and drive innovation, business will contribute to society and long-term economic growth."
Yvo de Boer, KPMG's Special Global Adviser on Climate Change & Sustainability, says global sustainability megaforces will significantly increase the complexity of the business environment.
"Without action and strategic planning, risks will multiply and opportunities will be lost. Corporations are recognising that there is value and opportunity in responsibility beyond the next quarter's results, that what is good for people and the planet, can also be good for the long-term bottom line and shareholder value," according to de Boer.
From a local perspective, Neil Morris, Director, Climate Change & Sustainability at KPMG in South Africa, adds: "In Africa, these sustainability megaforces are even more pronounced. With growth as the primary agenda item for the continent, the key challenge and the area of greatest opportunity for business, is to decouple our growth from environmental impacts and resource depletion."
The KPMG research finds that the external environmental costs, which today are often not shown on financial statements**, of 11 key industry sectors jumped 50 percent from US$566 billion to US$846 billion in the eight years from 2002 to 2010.This represents on average, a doubling of these costs every 14 years.
The report calculates that if companies had to pay for the full environmental costs of their production, they would lose 41 cents for every US$1 in earnings on average.
Morris states that KPMG has taken a leadership role in helping organisations understand the opportunity side of the equation, and not just the risk. "KPMG's clients and others are seeing the link between sustainability and financial results becoming increasingly clear. Companies that recognise the external influences on their organisations and leverage them as opportunities, are realising a competitive advantage. To that end, the exercise of measuring and reporting sustainability activities to stakeholders with clear, accurate data is increasingly relevant and quickly becoming a priority."
This applies across an organisation's entire supply chain. Dr Dinesh Kumar, Country Leader on Supply Chain and Procurement at KPMG in South Africa, says, "While the African continent is experiencing tremendous economic growth, its supply chains are still in 'survival' mode in terms of stability, maturity, value-add and confidence. In addition, African supply chain managers need to address the challenges posed by the 10 global sustainability megaforces. They need to secure their inbound supplies, meet rapidly changing customer demands, utilise their assets and develop reverse supply chains."
Dr Kumar stresses that "the approach to address these challenges should include aligning the supply chain strategies, strengthening the stakeholder's relationships, ensuring availability of right supply chain skills, increasing the use of technology, embedding a compliance culture and adopting an attitude of global competitiveness."

No, Mike Isabella Is Not Done Yet: Probable Greek Eatery Coming to 14th & W
Back in November, rumor had it that Graffiato's Mike Isabella was interested in opening yet another restaurant (his third in about a year) at 14th and W Streets NW. At the time, Isabella's rep confirmed that he'd looked at that particular corner—and lots of others—but added that no lease was signed or anything like that. Today, Dining Bisnow brings word that the restaurant ("probably Greek") is close to happening. His rep still says no lease is signed but now confirms that Isabella has registered an LLC for the location.

Please be a Negima continuation.
After the Magical World Arc, there still needs to be another arc for spoiler[Negi to go save his dad, and not to mention save planet Mars (regardless of if they still put Asuna to sleep for 100 years or not).]-----------------------------------------------------------------
I could see spoiler[them putting Asuna to sleep, then Negi works on the space elevator for the duration of a mini-arc, then after a time skip he gathers a select group of comrades to go save/kill his dad.]

Let me guess: It'll be about a nerdy guy with glasses who is suddenly the object of every other female's affection. There will be a bitchy girl who is the female lead, a shy purple-haired girl that has a crush on him, an energetic happy-girl that's friends with the female lead, and an emotionless samurai girl.
I swear if I'm right, then Akamatsu is officially the Seth MacFarlane of Manga. To be fair, at least Negima wasn't filled with domestic abuse, so maybe he'll get rid of his cliches one step at a time.

It was more of a stab at their tendancies to reuse archetypes for their shows. Rumiko Takahashi does that a lot too.

He's stating that he's talking to "Magajin Henshû-bu" マガジン編集部. Weekly Shônen Magazine usually is only called "Magajin", simply to the Weekly Jump often being only called "Jump". If it was just some random Manga Magazine, he would probably be writing "Mangazasshi" 漫画雑誌 instead.

It'd be pretty funny if he kills two birds with one stone by continuing Negima by creating a new series out of the pilot side story he did at the end of the the series.
It'd really save world building time, after all.
I've read Negima as a parody since the action parts began so it's not as if the ending bothered me. In fact, I thought it was particularly brilliant, an inversion of the idea that "It's not the destination, it's the journey." Go figure, it's the destination after all.
But I do wonder how Akamatsu felt abut having to frame it that way; He put a lot of creative energy into even before it started and and his selfimage on the article page is somewhat how I pictured him after reading the conclusion. Like he was playing and just had to throw away his favorite toy because his parents were too strict...

|I would love it if he redid the horrible ending to Negima. It's like he did a time skip then cut it off with a dull hatchet. Nothing was ever resolved, plot-holes were so large a semi-truck could drive through it and ending that was meaningless.

This guy is way too conceited
love hina was good, but they way he goes on and on about wanting to make negima his best work is getting old. how many remakes does negima need to not suck? the manga is just silly. All i ever wanted was asuka with a sword fighting other girls who were not able to win because magic didn't work on her - that's it.
I didn't want boy characters with dog ears.

|I don't know if I would ever call Akamatsu-sensei conceited. To be honest, I'm very grateful to him for starting up the j-comi.jp service. I'm not going to say that I'm an apologist for him or even say that I'll necessarily enjoy this new manga. However, I do have a good deal of respect for him as an individual.

I haven't had a chance to reply to this, and I now realize that it's been quite a while. I don't want anyone to misunderstand what I'm asking, considering what the cognate of that word could be misconstrued as. That being said, is Nigromancy in context the classical term for black magic?
Just to illustrate, it was a period term and I do not mean any offense:

Ah, someone gets it! Yep on both counts, the possible misconstrue and the meaning.
But to be clear, it's a joke. The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's next book, and since Negima is jokingly referred as "Harem Potter"...................

In Response to Re: Need Honeymoon Ideas!!! : ?? I don't know of any stigma or stereotyped group of people who supposedly prefer all-inclusives. Very strange comment if I do say so. I know a couple who went to Paris, it's not a bad suggestion (if you don't mind smokers everywhere). But, an all-inclusive resort looks fabulous to me. The only reason we didn't do it was DH was afraid we'd overspend on food and drinks we didn't actually eat or drink. I was for either way. Turns out if you eat at your hotel's restaurants/bars you can just charge it to your room so you don't need to carry your wallet around either way.

Smoking on cafes/restaurants is now illegal in France, so you can enjoy the foie gras and escargots without any noxious distractions. If you must go tropical, I recommend St Barts - quite civilised.

Bongos Beach Bar and Grille is a four time Top 10 winner and finished in third place on the Top 10 list.
Bongo's has several levels of deck that provide different areas and sections in which you can enjoy this great atmosphere in the middle of Paradise.
In the evening waterfall tables and couches reflect a golden glow from the tiki torches. A long and beautiful wall of fire serves as a fire pit on chilly days or cooler nights. Baby Bongos is a bar within the bar located on separate level. Umbrellas shield this bar from the sun during the day, but at night the umbrellas are lifted up to offer beautiful views of the moon and stars. Tiki torches warm the atmosphere, and you provide the romance.
Bongos offers over 200 fresh frozen tropical drinks. Live bands keep the beach bar crowd entertained every day of the week, twice a day from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Food is served daily until 11:00 PM.
Shephard's Beach Resort Backyard Tiki Bar, part of Shephard's Resort in Clearwater Beach, makes Florida Beach Bar's Top 10 list for the fourth time. It is a favorite of voters and anyone who has ever visited Shephard's.
Shephard's Backyard Tiki Bar is located on the beach, features a large stage and dance floor that jet out over the water. Valet park your car or raft off of an anchored boat and make your way to one of the best beach bars around.
The stage is hardly ever empty and hosts some of the best local bands.
The Backyard Tiki Bar has everything from great food to fantastic sunsets. The entertainment is both on stage and in the crowd. There's live music every day that usually starts in the early afternoon and continues through the evening. Get up and dance or simply sit back and savor the incredible sunset, a cool tropical drink, and great beach specialties from the Margarita Grill.
2015 Top 10 Florida Beach Bar voting was extremely competitive. . A number of Florida beach bars moved up to and down from the Top 10 list. On any given day anyone of them could have made the list. Four of the five bars are former winners. Guanabanas of Jupiter is new to the Top 15. For the effort they all put forth and votes they received from their fans, we'd also like to mention these great Florida beach bars.:

Cathedral gets blowout win against Resurrection
BILOXI — Cathedral High School tallied 427 yards of total offense and limited Resurrection Catholic School to just 98 yards on offense in a 43-7 blowout win at St. Patrick Catholic School Friday night.
The Green Wave's Thomas Garrity and Jardarius Anderson continued to put up big numbers for Cathedral. Garrity finished 17 of 28 in passing with just one interception, while Anderson tallied 167 yards on six catches for three touchdowns.
"We went on a three-and-a-half-hour road trip and came out a little sluggish," Cathedral head coach Ron Rushing said. "We still need to work on everything. We made some mental mistakes, but the kids fought through them. In the second half, we played a lot better. We threw the ball well."
Cathedral actually trailed early in the game when Resurrection's Paul Blackwell had a fumble recovery in the end zone to put Resurrection up 7-0 with 5:48 in the first quarter. But the Green Wave came back to make it 7-6 on a 16-yard touchdown reception by R.J. Givens with 3:06 left.
Cathedral took the lead for good with 4:26 left in the second quarter when Anderson caught a 22-yard touchdown pass. Cathedral scored on the two-point conversion when Ishmael Blackmon caught the pass from Garrity.
The Green Wave added another touchdown with 16 seconds left in the half after Garrity connected with Turner Janette on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Cathedral led 21-7 at intermission.
In the third quarter, Cathedral began pulling away, beginning with two touchdown catches by Anderson for 60 and 41 yards apiece. Blackmon got in on the action with a 61-yard touchdown reception at the four-second mark in the third quarter for the Green Wave's final touchdown.
Blackmon finished with 130 yards on six catches, and Josh Wilkerson had four carries for 31 yards rushing. Christian Jenkins added 49 yards on the ground on eight carries.
On defense, Zach Flattmann and James Alan Coley both finished with seven tackles, and Ty Brown tallied six tackles for the Green Wave. Jame Smilo had five tackles.
Cathedral (4-1, 2-1) will return home next week to take on Stringer High School.

I love this video–thanks for posting it! I have to admit I was drawn in by the dark lip. Although I ordered from that Chanel noir collection so that shows you wear my taste level is. Colors like light purple on the lips look a bit cartoonish on me but the darker tones (blotted on) are going to rock. Thanks!
Thanks for posting. Love the dark lips….
love the lips. i wonder what she used to create those.
Love Rachel Roy and Bobbi Brown! Thanks for highlighting this video of the two of them working together.
I have the Bobbi Brown Nudes & Shimmer palette which I love.
I love the shade of that lip with the purple in it.

2003 Dodge Neon Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have a 2003 SE with the 4 speed automatic even though I couldn't choose auto in the model type so I put manual and I love it. I bought it with 44,200 and It has 47,655 miles on it without any problems except oil change. The car is structurally and mechanically sound. No problems at all.
Fuel economy, nimbleness, lightweight, looks like it has a smile.
Wish the R/T 150 hp version came with an automatic.
2003 Dodge Neon Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Iv'e had my 2003 dodge neon SE for 4 years and put 200,000 miles on it. Oter than replacing the tranny at 100k miles (under warranty) ive had nothing but great gas mileage, luxary, compfort, and everything.
2003 Dodge Neon Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Bought this car for $3000 for my wife, second hand with 95k miles on it. We've been driving it for 6k miles, without a single major problem (some minor mechanical issues, but nothing worth mentioning).
The car was banged up in the back, and declared a total loss, but some mechanic patched her up, and she drove like a queen!
I have the automatic, not the manual.
Fuel efficient motor, power, fast acceleration, fun to drive, everything is just at the right place, interior doesn't look like crappy plastic, reliability, motor is dependable!, fits a 6'3" driver perfectly, aerodynamic body, airco can keep up with hot sun (for more airco drive in 3 instead of D, allows the RPM's to climb, and the airco to do it's job). Nearly flooring the pedal upshifts gear, flooring the pedal upshifts 2 gears (going from 2,5k RPM to 4,5kRPM), higher torque band above 3K RPM, peak torque between 4,5 and 5k RPM.
Radio and speakers, transmission tends to fluxuate rpms on the highways (do know it has nearly 100k miles on it); steering wheel not telescopic, speedometer too high for my comfort(hidden behind steering wheel). To keep driving in 4th gear instead of 5th (eg on a climb), you'll have to keep the accelerator pedal down, and motor consumes more that way (accelerating too much, while it can't keep up in 5th gear).
2003 Dodge Neon Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Well i just bought this car 2 months ago and its been to the mechanic 7 times, things I've had fixed have been 3 motor mounts, Brakes master cylinder, Rotors, and pads, brakes completely went out on me while on the interstate , Idler pulley, belts were replaced, tire blew out on me, Struts need replaced and now I'm starting to wonder about the tranny so not worth it.
great air conditioning and its roomy
2003 Dodge Neon Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I got this car used last year for just under $5,000. I wanted a small automatic sports car that is fast and good gas mileage and this is the closest i could get to that description. it's not fancy car but its good for taking long drives and not eating up gas. i always liked looking at the Dodge SRT-4 but since I don't know how to drive manual the Dodge Neon was just as awesome.
good gas mileage, small, accelerates quickly, sporty looking, enough room inside
to be able to open the trunk without shutting the car down since you have to use the key, no light in the trunk, sometimes the car stalls for a moment when traffic slows and it goes from fast to slower

It's the season of eating outside. From rooftops to sidewalks to gardens, there's a place to dine and swill wine right around the corner.
But there are also some hidden gems out there, spots you might not know have hidden or tucked away outdoor spaces. Those are the best places in which to dine outside, because everyone loves a secret.
Here are some of our favorites...
Lolo's Seafood Shack
Lolo's Seafood Shack, the new Caribbean/ Cape Cod-style seafood restaurant in Harlem also features a "secret" outdoor space. The blueish green-washed deck and colorful tables transport you to a seaside shack pretty easily, and the food, from steamers to soft shell crabs, help fulfill the beach-side fantasy. 303 W. 116th St., lolosseafoodshack.com (Credit: Lolo's Seafood Shack)
The Pines
Looking into the window at The Pines, you'd never guess that tucked back behind the restaurant near the Gowanus canal would be a garden straight out of a movie, you know the kind of movie that features leisure-enthusiasts drinking wine for hours on a rough-edged but alive with plantings patio? Well, that's what it's like behind the Pines. And the food is great here, too.
The backyard reopens May 15.
284 3rd Ave., Gowanus, 718-596-6560, thepinesbrooklyn.com(Credit: The Pines)
At the pioneering Brooklyn farm-to-table restaurant iCi, located in a Fort Greene townhouse, the garden is the star. It's a romantic spot - bring a date here if you want to really turn on the charm.
The garden is enclosed by a blue grey wooden fence, evoking summer nights in the South of France. Because it's in a traditional Brooklyn townhouse backyard, there's plenty of light and the tree branches blow in the breeze.
iCi is a French country restaurant, and the food is top notch. Dine on charcuterie, local mushroom fricassee and olive oil brandede.
246 Dekalb Ave., Fort Greene, 718-789-2778, icirestaurant.com(Credit: Facebook/ iCi)
Saraghina is located deep in Bed-Stuy and has made a name for itself there and beyond. Locals and visitors alike flock to it. There's delicious pizza and pasta, yes, but the garden alone is reason to make the trek if you don't live nearby.
The mismatched chairs and wooden tables give the space a rustic vibe, and with enough cups wine and plates of coppa and fresh mozzarella, you just might feel transported to an Italian villa.
435 Halsey St., Bed-Stuy, 718-574-0010, saraghinabrooklyn.com(Credit: FLICKR/ Robyn Lee)
Milk and Roses
Not only is this idyllic, fresh restaurant tucked away in the nether regions of Greenpoint, it's garden courtyard is hidden from sight, too. This is the place for a glass of fine Italian wine amongst lovers and friends. A $24 prix-fixe lunch, with an entree, coffee or tea and unlimited mimosas is particularly enchanting. 1110 Manhattan Ave., milkandrosesbk.com (Credit: http://milkandrosesbk.com/)
Pok Pok NY
Pok Pok's second location on Columbia Street features a garden that's less of a garden and more of a patio, but it's still a magical spot, especially once the food starts arriving. (Did someone say Ike's Vietnamese fish sauce wings? If you don't know what i'm talking about, RUN to Pok Pok NY.)
The vibe at Pok Pok is easy, care-free and no frills and the plastic-lined and brightly-colored tablecloths help translate that. So do the painted milk crates lined with garbage bags and filled with dirt so plants can grow. It's ramshackle-chic, just like chef and owner Andy Ricker wants it.
117 Columbia St., 718-923-9322, pokpokny.com(Credit: Pok Pok NY)
The West Village is teeming with top-notch pasta spots, but none transport you to Italy quite like Palma. If the music and ambiance (exposed wooden beam ceilings, white stucco walls) don't do the trick as soon as you step inside, head out back into the ivy-covered garden and grab a table among the abundant fresh flowers and herbs while you peruse the menu over a crisp glass of prosecco or a summer cocktail. The garden's roof is open during the warmer months.Chef Palma's menu is centered around traditional family techniques and recipes using organic ingredients. Start with the crispy, cheesy arancini and then dive into a homemade pasta, with choices ranging from fettuccine with mushrooms to pappardelle with slow-roasted lamb ragu.

Okay, so the garden at Montmartre isn't exactly "secret," but it's a hidden gem regardless of whether or not it's advertised on the French-inspired bistro's website.
With its beautiful tiled floor and herb garden meticulously maintained by farmers from The Brooklyn Grange, this is the garden that transplants you from the busy city to the French countryside.
The garden is open all day, with food at all hours. Enjoy artichoke toast with eggs, steak frites or chicken liver mousse -- and a glass of wine or a cocktail, of course.
158 Eighth Ave., 646-596-8838, montmartrenyc.com(Credit: Montmartre)
Sweet Afton
If you live in Astoria, you're probably well aware of Sweet Afton, a local favorite that's great for drinks, dinner or a hang with friends. The small but comfortable backyard garden is the wholegrain mustard (icing) on the grilled cheese (cake). There are even nice plantings to make it feel country-like.
Sweet Afton is affordable and fun, with live music some nights and the famous mac and cheese with scallions, New York state cheddar, muenster and gruyere every night.
30-09 34th St., Astoria, 718-777-2570, sweetaftonbar.com(Credit: Facebook/ Sweet Afton)
La Lanterna di Vittorio
Tucked away behind its quaint MacDougal Street facade is La Lanterna di Vittorio's hidden gem... a cozy, intimate garden seating area with ivy-covered, exposed-brick walls, a glass ceiling that welcomes natural light and antique-style, wrought iron tables and chairs that would be just as at home on the Tuscan countryside as they are in Manhattan.
This is an ideal date or small group spot-- the tables, though pretty, are tiny-- and is a great way to bask in the romance of outdoor dining on a summer night sans humidity and mosquitoes. Try one of the authentic, thin-crust pizzas or rich lasagnas, paired with an extensive wine list, and finish things off with a homemade tiramisu or mille foglie topped with fresh seasonal fruit.129 MacDougal St., 212-529-5945, lalanternacaffe.com (Credit: Facebook)

No moment in baseball history is more important than the April day in 1947 when Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field, ending a ban that had extended back to 1882 prohibiting African Americans from fully participating in the National Pastime. "Cap" Anson's dictum, in 1882, of "Get that nigger off the field," referring to the presence of black player Moses Fleetwood Walker on a Major League ground, merely reflected the overwhelming social attitude of the day. But in 1947 baseball no longer followed custom, but changed it. Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson's integration plans went beyond challenging Major League baseball's apartheid policies, their actions set in motion and preceded, by a decade, the actions of the courts and government to rectify the injustice of segregation throughout society in general.
The road to Robinson's appearance at Ebbets Field on April 15, 1947, was a long, often crooked, and dark one. Partially hidden and ignored by the general population, black baseball emerged as a parallel version of the National Pastime subsisting on the margins of society. Black ball differed from Major League ball in many different ways. The game as played by African American players relied on speed and offered entertainment as a bonus. Rather than the static dependence that Major League baseball placed on power hitting, Negro baseball utilized speed, bunting, and hit-and-run tactics. Attempts to organize various Negro leagues met with limited success. Andrew "Rube" Foster organized the National Negro League (NNL)in 1919. In 1923, the Eastern Colored League (ECL) was formed, resulting in the playing of the first Colored World Series in 1924. The Kansas City Monarchs of the NNL defeated the ECL representative Hillsdale Club of Philadelphia five games to four with one tie. But scheduling was erratic, finances weak, white newspapers ignored game results, and teams were required to continually barnstorm, resulting in fan apathy.1
With the onset of the Depression, the lifeblood of black teams depended more and more on owners scheduling barnstorming games against local white nines. Black teams found money and a sort of once-ayear racial acceptance if they came into a town, played the local team, won

Cable internet, or broadband as it's frequently called, works by using the cable TV infrastructure lines to bring internet access straight to a residence or workplace. Today, it is the most popular way to obtain internet access because it is faster when compared to a dial-up connection furnished by a telephone land line.
Cable internet service in Milton-Freewater utilizes a shared line which gives service to a whole neighborhood. When there are many people on the internet at the same time, it could slow down the transfer of data. Also, security measures are needed because it is easy for anyone on the same LAN (local area network) line gain access to somebody else's data, if they understand how to do it. Most cable providers have addressed this challenge with firewall capabilities and modems that put into action the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). This supports cable network security.
Fiber optic internet is the fastest available with upload speeds up to 50 mbps (megabytes per second) while cable offers around 16 mbps. Verizon FiOS is the first and only 100% fiber optic communication network that's directly for home services. It not only delivers extremely high speed internet it also produces remarkable picture quality for TV and videos online, isn't susceptible to power surges, noise or static and has very little down time because fiber optic wire is much more durable than copper cable.
Comcast one of the largest cable internet providers and digital TV providers in the United States. Their internet service is provided through cable but they also use fiber optic technology for their patented PowerBoost? that makes downloading videos, games and music as well as uploading documents faster than standard cable. Services include SmartZone? Online for listening to voicemail online and more. Comcast also provides free Comprehensive Security.

Flow is a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.
According to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Talk about living in FLOW! Right?
Yesterday… I was in FLOW. (Where were you?)
We decided to get a bunch of amazing people together and go on a hike. At first a couple of people were like..
"Drew, it's Wednesday… I have to focus on work."
Have you ever said anything like this… lemme share a thought with you…
Whatever it is you are working on, it will still be there when you get back… trust me.
In fact, the more you raise your vibration… MORE opportunity will be there waiting for you. I mean, when I was out looking at views from up here… How good do you think I felt?
It's those same feelings that fuel GOOD things, coming in!
If you are ever in San Diego, you should come join us. Seriously… let's grab a juice and hit the trail.
We need these times of absolute absorption in what we are doing. When was the last time you were in flow?
Think about it….Leave your "Flow" moment in the comment section below.
P.S. My friend sent me his new book and I think you will enjoy it… If you are wanting to gain muscle.

CAMP HIGASHI-CHITOSE, Japan (Dec. 7, 2009) - On a bitterly cold December afternoon, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and U.S. military opened Yama Sakura 57 in a ceremony that demonstrated the warmth of a 50-year friendship.
The JGSDF Northern Army hosted the ceremony and the exercise. Assembled for the United States were representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Army Reserve and National Guard units from over a dozen states.
"This exercise proves the strength of the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and Japan," said Lt. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, commanding general, USARPAC.
"In order to further improve our bilateral response capabilities," remarked Lt. Gen. Takeshi Sakai, commanding general of the JGSDF Northern Army, "I request that you all make coordination between our forces and make bold, daring attempts to meet new challenges without fear of mistakes."
"We will prepare ourselves for future threats and enhance our relationship, as well as gain a greater understanding of civil-military operations," concluded Mixon.
Over 5,700 personnel will participate in the exercise. Yama Sakura, which means "mountain cherry blossom," is an annual joint and combined full-spectrum training exercise. Since its start in 1982, Yama Sakura has focused on the refinement of bilateral planning, coordination, and interoperability.
The exercise has four objectives: the exchange of ideas, techniques, and military experience; training U.S. forces for deployment to Japan; the exercise of JSDF and U.S. forces in the defense of Japan; and preparation of USARPAC forces for combined, multi-national and joint full spectrum operations.

Tonight is the season finale of the second season of The CW's Hart of Dixie. The series, which features Rachel Bilson as Zoe Hart, was recently surprisingly renewed for a third season.
Big decisions are in store for Zoe and friends on tonight's episode, "On The Road Again," as Zoe returns to New York City to clear her head. Do not expect to have all your questions answered tonight, however, says series showrunner/executive producer Leila Gerstein.
"It's the kind of cliffhanger where we're going to come back and see everyone a few months later in season three," she said.
Gerstein really felt like the series caught fire this season.
"I think we really found our groove in season two. The show is a romantic comedy. Season two really highlighted that. We let Zoe get a little crazy which Rachel [Bilson] handled beautifully. I think we found a way to make George Tucker (Scott Porter) funny, which has been super successful, and I'm most proud of the fact that we redeemed Lemon Vreeland (Jaime King). I think the audience is really relating to her this season. She's really struggling to find herself now that she's left at the altar and we really succeeded in making people fall in love with her," she said.
Next season's story is still being worked on, but Gerstein is excited about the raoad ahead.
"I'm only really just starting to think about season three right now. There are things that I feel like aren't done and we'll still come around to. It's a long series, whatever team you're on you'll probably have a chance to see something that will make you happy by the end of the series," she added.

in the world
is usual today.
This is
the first morning.
Come quickly - as soon as
these blossoms open,
they fall.
This world exists
as a sheen of dew on flowers.
Izumi Shikibu (974)
The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn as the round earth rolls. John Muir (1838)
Nothing is more practical than
finding God, than
falling in Love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide
what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.
Father Pedro Arrupe (1907)
...anything that the mind thinks, it can unthink. If, therefore, by the law of cause and effect we have produced unpleasant conditions, we should be able by this same law to produce an entirely different effect. Ernest Holmes (1887)
"Is there anything that I can do to make myself enlightened?"
"As little as you can do to make the sun rise in the morning."
"Then of what use are the spiritual exercises you prescribe?"
"To make sure you are not asleep when the sun begins to rise."
Anthony De Mello (1931)
This too shall pass. Sufi Saying
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. Mother Teresa (1910)
Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would have your brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his appeal to hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. (T-15.III.12:1-4) A Course In Miracles (1975)
It's not to seek and find. It is simply to ask and wait. Byron Katie
You cannot serve two masters, my dear friends, not Evil on the one hand and God on the other hand! Bruno Groening (1906)
Think about each word, each sentence that you speak and each thought you receive, whether they are worthy to be admitted! And think about everything in detail whether you have acted correctly! Call yourself to order daily, that is to say, to God! Reprimand yourself! Bruno Groening (1906)
This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. William Shakespeare (1564)
How can a soul which misunderstands itself have a sure idea of other creatures? Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C.E.)
Happy is the man that findeth Wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; and all things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. (3:13-15) Proverbs (400)
All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788)
I salute you. I am your friend, and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not. But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant.
Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. There is radiance and glory in darkness, could we but see. And to see, we have only to look. I beseech you to look!
Life is so generous a giver. But we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that brings it to you.
Everything we call a trial, a sorrow or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there. The gift is there and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Your joys, too, be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts.
Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty beneath its covering, that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage then to claim it; that is all! But courage you have, and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending through unknown country home.
Fra Giovanni Giocondo (1435)
One Song
What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
many jugs being poured into a huge basin.
All religions, all this singing, one song.
The differences are just illusion and vanity.
Sunlight looks a little different
on this wall than it does on that wall
and a lot different on this other one,
but it is still one light.
We have borrowed these clothes,
these time-and-space personalities,
from a light, and when we praise,
we are pouring them back in.
Jalal Al Din Rumi (1207)
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus Christ (4 B.C.E.)
You are banging the walls. What walls? There are no walls. You are fighting the guards. What guards? They don't exist. You are free right now. See this. Vernon Howard (1918)
Enter yourself, let self-honesty turn you in the right direction, after which self-awareness lives your life for you. Wishing for something other than darkness is already a bit of light. Have no fear of exposing the illusion that your present world is a false world, for the end of the old reveals the new. Change starts with even the dim realization of being betrayed by our own faulty thoughts. Self-renewal occurs spontaneously when habitual thoughts are dropped. Few people realize how little truth they can take, but those who do will become new. Vernon Howard (1918)
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment. Henry David Thoreau (1817)
We have it in our power to begin the world over again. Thomas Paine (1737)
The thing about our choices is that after we have made them, they turn around and make us. Anonymous
Go within or go without. Mayan (325)
The musicality of being holds both unending joy and infinite sorrow
It is the delicate touch of longing for the infinite
It is the tears of pain in the eyes of the worshiper
It is the sacrifice, at last rewarded
With a crown of roses, or thorns
It holds the mystery of all beings who strive without knowledge
The infinite cycles of meaningless pain
The cares and woes of a thousand lives
Can one look at them, and listen without pity?
I touch them, I call them unto me
Those of little faith, and of great
Those who cry forever and those that laugh hysterically
The poor, the maimed, the lacking, the unhappy
The many parts each person must play
I call them unto me, and I say:
Take all, take all, take everything and more
Your unhappiness is unbounded, take from me
And be at peace.
They scream, they cry, their tears are unending
The many forms of misery which all beings are heir to
Haunt me in the night.
There are beings of joy, of wonder, of enjoyment
There are sensual heavens, and pleasure-filled paradises
Yet where may those who suffer and grieve go
Those for whom the illusion of separateness
Is the truest reality?
Ropes and coils of evil deceptions
Locks and bars and endless loneliness
Before joy comes sorrow, before knowledge, pain
Before the thrill of enlightenment
Am I, who aid the wounded
I share their grief, I hold them in my arms
I shed my tears, that they may realize they are not alone
In the vast depths of the infinite universe
There is one who cares.
Buddhism (500 B.C.E.)

Just over a year after it was initially downgraded, Royal Bank of Canada is at risk of another slash to its credit quality as Moody's Investors Service reviews all major global banks with big capital markets divisions.
The rating agency has initiated a review of 17 banks and securities firms with global capital markets operations because it feels that the risks associated with these divisions "are not fully captured in their current ratings."
"Capital markets firms are confronting evolving challenges, such as more fragile funding conditions, wider credit spreads, increased regulatory burdens and more difficult operating conditions," the rating agency said. "These difficulties, together with inherent vulnerabilities such as confidence-sensitivity, interconnectedness, and opacity of risk, have diminished the longer term profitability and growth prospects of these firms."
"Rapidly changing risk positions expose these firms to unexpected losses that can overwhelm the resources of even the largest, most diversified groups."
RBC was already dinged for its exposure to capital markets in December 2010, when Moody's downgraded its credit rating to Aa1 -- which is stil a stellar rating.
But much has changed since then, and Moody's thinks its worthwhile to re-evaluate.
"The combination of changed operating conditions and increased regulatory requirements and restrictions has diminished these firms' longer-term profitability and growth prospects," the agency said. "While we had initially expected their standalone credit profiles to recover once the acute phase of the crisis had passed, we now view these challenges as structural features of global investment banks."
In an e-mailed statement, RBC said it was "surprised" to be included in the review and the banks believe is inclusion "is unwarranted."
"This action does nothing to help investors differentiate between strong banks and weak ones. RBC's credit rating and capital base are among the strongest of all banks globally," RBC said. "Over the past three fiscal years, our capital markets business has been consistently profitable and represents less than 25 per cent of RBC's earnings."
10 of the 17 firms that Moody's will inspect have been her placed on review for downgrade, or had their reviews for downgrade extended. Along with RBC , the firms placed under review include U.S. giants such as Bank of America , Citigroup , and JPMorgan Chase .
Moody's goes so far as to break the firms it will review into different categories, with some susceptible to one-notch downgrades, and others susceptible to more. RBC is susceptible to two-notch downgrades, while Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and UBS could all face three-notch downgrades.
- Royal Bank of Canada$75.09-1.12(-1.47%)
- Bank of America Corp$14.03-0.33(-2.30%)
- Citigroup Inc$44.26-1.31(-2.87%)
- JPMorgan Chase and Co$61.53-1.04(-1.65%)
- Updated May 4 1:15 PM EDT. Delayed by at least 15 minutes.
