The battle over maintaining six-day mail delivery grew loud Sunday in the Buffalo region, as nearly 400 letter carriers, residents and union officials rallied hard to maintain Saturday service.
Alison Ayer, a letter carrier in Depew, was one of hundreds who echoed the cry outside the post office on Galleria Drive in Cheektowaga and who marched with many others to the chant of "Five Day? Go Away."
"Once they cut one day a week, they could cut more. This could be the start of something worse," Ayer said. "I don't mind working Saturdays. I've worked Saturdays my whole life. Bring it on. I think we (the U.S. Postal Service) are viable to keep it sustained."
West Side Station letter carrier Macy Courtemanche, who has worked the job for 18 years, said that if Saturday mail delivery ended, it could signal the start of much worse.
"I think it would just be the beginning of the disintegration of the Postal Service," she said. "The postmaster general didn't have any authority to [suggest] this, himself."
As many walked – carrying signs that read "Keep the Middle Class Working" and "No Closing Post Offices. No Layoffs" and "Five Day? No Way" – a prominent figure with the National Association of Letter Carriers' Buffalo and Western New York branch talked about the importance of keeping Saturday mail delivery, despite the plan of Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. Most at the rally were sporting navy, red and white T-shirts with the message "USA for 6 Day ... Don't Dismantle the Postal Service."
The Postal Service "says we lost $16 billion last year. Almost $13 billion of it was due to our mandate to fund future retiree health benefit costs. Very little of it was operational," said Douglas Fordyce, legislative and political chairman of the NALC's local branch. "Our message is to gain the public's support to continue mail delivery for six days a week."
Fordyce and others said they believe there are alternatives to eliminating Saturday mail delivery. The opportunities for new revenue they mentioned included the possibility of co- ordinating with local officials to offer fishing licenses and financial services and expanding offerings to include food deliveries to elderly people.
Buffalo's rally was one of about 150 held in major cities across the nation Sunday.
"We understand the Postal Service is facing some serious financial challenges, like online bill paying," Fordyce said. "But it's a necessary institution for a great number of Americans. Seniors would be hurt the most, rural communities and small businesses who rely the most on Saturday service."
If Donahoe's plan goes forward – and many say it cannot, without congressional approval – Saturday mail service would end in August. However, packages would still be delivered. If that happens, an estimated 30,000 city letter carrier jobs would be eliminated across the nation, amounting to a sixth of the Postal Service's full-time workforce, Fordyce said. Locally, that would translate to a 300- to 400-job loss among Postal Service workers in the Buffalo, Rochester and Jamestown region.
During the two-hour rally, Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, lobbied hard for the postal workers and again had harsh words for the postmaster general, reiterating his call for Donahoe's resignation.
"This postmaster general has been a disaster. He needs to go," Higgins said, noting that Donahoe previously called for the closing of Buffalo's William Street processing center, which had recently been praised for its cost efficiency and which Higgins said should have been regarded as a national model. Since then, Donahoe has promised that the William Street facility would remain open until at least 2015.
"He does not have the authority to unilaterally impose" the changes, Higgins said. "He needs to go."
Higgins also blasted the Postal Service's practice of pre-funding retiree health benefits, a practice that costs the Postal Service between $5.4 billion and $5.8 billion per year.
"If you eliminate six-day delivery, you begin to undermine the viability of the United States Postal Service," Higgins said. "Our nation is about choice and competition. USPS can compete with a level playing field. The only thing we're looking for is fairness."
Retired letter carrier Jerry Kaczmarczyk participated in the rally. He said people relying on medications in the mail could be negatively impacted if there were no mail on Saturdays. Plus, department stores' sale slingers would get delayed delivery with the elimination of Saturday service.
"Do we need to go back and put more people back in unemployment lines?" he asked.
Fordyce said that though slashing the sixth day of mail delivery has been talked of before, it has yet to happen.
"Congress hasn't had the stomach to do it," he said. "We have the bipartisan support to maintain six-day delivery."
Current and retired letter carriers in the region weren't the only ones fighting the issue. Agnes Mabins, an Erie County Department of Social Services employee, was walking in the rally because she believes in six-day delivery.
"People need to work and have their jobs. That cuts into their economic situation without the Saturday delivery," she said. "If it's cut down to five days, it would be the start of something else or go to four days and then three days. We've had six days for years. There's no need to cut it down."

Berenson, Deborah Berg, Ai-Min Hui, Neeraj Gupta, Alessandra Di Bacco, Jiang Yu, Yaping Shou, Ruben Niesvizky; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; Clinical Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA; Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Division of Hematology/Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ; Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research, West Hollywood, CA; Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cambridge, MA; Center of Excellence for Lymphoma and Myeloma, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY
Background: MLN9708 is an investigational, orally bioavailable, potent, reversible, specific inhibitor of the 20S proteasome that has demonstrated antitumor activity in in vivo models of MM. We report safety, activity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of weekly oral MLN9708 in a phase 1 trial in patients (pts) with relapsed and/or refractory MM after full enrollment (NCT00963820).
Methods: Pts received MLN9708 (days 1, 8, 15; 28-day cycles) at 0.24–3.95 mg/m2 (dose-escalation phase) and at the MTD, 2.97 mg/m2, in relapsed and refractory (RR), bortezomib (btz)-relapsed, PI-naïve, and prior carfilzomib (CZ) expansion cohorts. Adverse events (AEs) were graded by NCI-CTCAE v3.0. Response was assessed by IMWG uniform criteria.
Results: 60 pts (33 male, median age 64 yrs [40–79]) were enrolled, 32 in the dose-escalation phase and 31 to the expansion cohorts (11 RR, 10 btz-relapsed, 6 PI-naïve, 4 CZ; 2 RR and 1 btz-relapsed pts included from MTD dose-escalation cohort). Median time from MM diagnosis was 4.9 yrs (1.5–18.8). Median number of prior regimens was 6 (2–18), including btz, lenalidomide, thalidomide, and CZ in 83%, 95%, 52%, and 13%, respectively; 76% were refractory to last therapy (17% btz-refractory). At data cut-off (Nov 29, 2012) pts had received a median of 2 cycles (1–11); 5 pts remained on treatment. All-grade/grade ≥3 drug-related AEs were seen in 83%/52% of pts; common drug-related grade ≥3 AEs were thrombocytopenia (33%), diarrhea, neutropenia (17%), decreased appetite, fatigue, and lymphopenia (8%). 6 pts (10%) had drug-related PN (no grade ≥3). 5 pts discontinued due to drug-related AEs; 1 pt died on study due to an unrelated AE. By investigator assessment in 41 evaluable pts, responses included1 VGPR, 5 PR, 1 MR, and 15 with SD. MLN9708 was rapidly absorbed, with a terminal half-life of 4–12 days (supporting weekly dosing) and a proportional increase in plasma AUC with dose (0.8–3.95 mg/m2). PK data were similar across expansion cohorts.
Conclusions: Current data suggest weekly oral MLN9708 is generally well tolerated with infrequent PN, and shows activity in this heavily pretreated population with prior exposure to immunomodulatory drugs and btz.

I couldn't find one already started, if it was just let this one die a slow, slow and painful death.
K, so the Jessichez thread turned into a FB friending fest and i was thinking that we haven't had a "dude, add me!!" thread in a while.
I think it'd be most fair (and feelings less likely hurt) that if you want to add someone you see participate on the thread just PAN them. Just a suggestion, though!
I'll start...you want a daily dose of this awesome, PAN me! :)
I'm only recently becoming less FB paranoid, so be patient with me.

5 Terrible Things We Only Know Because of the Internet
How much do you love the Internet? Statistics I'm making up suggest the answer is a lot. You love it so much that it makes your stomach flutter when you see the Internet across the quad, and you pause and stare and then it stops and flips its hair and your eyes meet and you think, "Ooh, Internet, you got what I like," and the Internet thinks. "010001110101001101." Yeah. That's sexy.
The Internet has taken our lives by storm and changed the world in ways arguably no other invention ever has. It's fucking awesome, and it's full of hilarious gifs and cats and gifs of cats. Look at this!
Satisfying. But the Internet is nothing if not a monkey's paw, the giver of wishes and, at the same time, the bestower of cruelly ironic punishments and other assorted badness. Think of all the wonders the Internet has brought you, and then pause to reflect on all the things you've seen online that made you wince. If it wasn't for the Internet, you'd happily live your life unaware of all kinds of terrible shit.
#5. The Proliferation of Racism
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
You know racism is a thing. I know it's a thing. You can be damn sure minorities in the Deep South know it's a thing. But would you have any idea how insane it was in 2013 if not for the Internet?
Maybe I'm just naive, and maybe I'm not saying "maybe" for no reason because clearly I am, but I honestly thought, or used to anyway, that we were getting away from hate as a cultural pastime. I thought, with a black president, with the millions of Hispanics across America, with white people actually becoming minorities in places, we were maybe on our way to that serene, Star Trek future where we'll happily pork ladies of all hues, even green. Fuck no, we're not there at all.
Were you aware that they still have segregated proms in Georgia? Black kids have to have their own prom on a different day from the white kids. In Georgia. Which is a state in America in the present. This year in Wilcox County, students held their first integrated prom, which everyone celebrated as a great move toward righting wrongs of the past. Not like the 1960s past, mind you, but 2012. And 2011. And every other year when the idea of a segregated prom went off without a hitch.
Across the pond, our European cousins are demonstrating their social graces in Italy by throwing bananas at their first black minister, and other politicians have openly referred to her as an orangutan. This would be like John Boehner calling Barack Obama a monkey. And while you're not likely to hear too many politicians say that, it doesn't mean other people aren't.
These aren't old tweets -- they're all from within the last month. If that's not enough, when I Googled Obama's name and the N-word to find some material for this entry, I ran across a forum that exists solely for people to be racist. Happily racist, away from the oppression of people who would dare criticize them for being hateful, ignorant dicks. It's hard being a racist, ya know. The forum has over 9,000 members, and they're pretty active -- 318 were online when I dropped in. That's almost as many as were active in Cracked's forum at the same time. Now, Cracked has a ton more users, but Cracked is a massive comedy website that has mass appeal. This was a site that was selling itself on how much fun it is to drop the N-word about all willy-nilly and hate black people.
Head to YouTube on any given day and catch a video from Worldstarhiphop and you'll see comments like this one -- he's not a racist, he just wonders if the world wouldn't be better with no black people! This kind of stuff is all over the Internet all the time.
#4. Dirty Buttholes and Clean Buttholes
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
How many buttholes have you see in person? I am going to guess that, on average, the number is pretty low. I would say the average American has probably never seen more than three buttholes in person. I feel that's reasonable. Some people are probably up to their elbows in buttholes, but then I bet there are others who will live their whole lives having never seen a single butthole, not even their own. Full disclosure: I've totally looked at my own butthole in the mirror. It was a trip.
Thanks to the Internet, I have seen so many buttholes, I don't even know where to begin talking about them. Yes I do. Dirty ones. Before you flinch and close the window, rest assured that I don't mean like "dirty" dirty. I have no other way to describe what I mean, though, except with more descriptive synonyms. Stained buttholes. Tarnished buttholes. Run-down buttholes. Buttholes that, while they may have recently been soaped and scrubbed, still look oddly cast in pewter. If you look at the same websites I look at, you totally know what I mean. If you don't, well, I'm about to school you -- some people have dirty-looking crappers. They're not really dirty, it's just a pigment on the skin. This leads me to my second point -- clean buttholes.
If it weren't for the Internet, I bet few if any of us would have any idea that you can pay a person to bleach your asshole. People with these chronically dirty buttholes are able to get ass bleaching to give their puckers a healthy, pinkish glow. Did any of us need this info to get through life? Not remotely. But despite that, I'm fully aware of just how common dirty buttholes are, and just how much it'll set you back to bleach it to a new shade of you. South Beach Skin Solutions will charge you $50 for 2 ounces of ass bleach. And don't worry, you can use it on your face, too, if you want to go out and make sure your face and ass are coordinated.
There was a time when porn was peopled only with hairy inebriants and ladies who looked like they breathed scotch. Then came the porn Golden Age, when everyone was pretty, at least everyone with boobs, and they were all clean and impossibly perfect and people complained that porn was not realistic at all. And then came the Internet, and there was nothing stopping literally everyone from humping on camera, and suddenly you could Google up a dirty butthole in under 20 seconds. And there's no closing that Pandora's Box of Buttholes, not anymore.
#3. Nerd Rage
Ablestock.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
If you remember back in the pre-Internet and early Internet days, there was a massive nerd stigma in Western society. There are still remnants of it today, at the fringe of the "new" nerd wave, where nerds and geeks are cool. But back in the day, it wasn't cool to be a nerd. It was an insult. Someone was making fun of you if they called you a nerd, and you would get called a nerd for reading comic books, playing Magic: The Gathering, or being into computers -- the kind of stuff that is generally considered cool today (minus the Magic part, that's still nerdy as shit).
While the world has moved on and embraced nerd culture -- Comic-Con is a huge mainstream event, movies like The Hobbit and The Avengers gross billions, and everyone is on a computer all the time -- nerds have not forgotten. Just because their culture has been embraced doesn't mean their awkwardness and nerdy habits have faded away. Quite the opposite. This growth in nerdism has contributed to an equal growth in nerd rage, easily witnessed on any and every message board and social media site out there. Here's someone sounding off on illogical plot points in Star Trek into Darkness:
Here's nerds fighting over a video game:
Here's a nerd losing his mind for 10 solid minutes and more than 200 "fucks" in a game of Team Fortress 2:
Nerds are mainstream now but have no idea how to deal with it. If the Internet wasn't around to allow the spread and growth of nerd hobbies, this would have never happened, and we'd never get to laugh uncomfortably at it. They'd still be stuck in basements and at card shops having low-key freakouts that the rest of us are unaware of because we just assume those nerds are emotionless freaks to mock for our amusement. And by our I mean your. I'm clearly with the nerds. Table flip, bitches!

TCR Monday Notes
I was suppose to post this Friday night, but life got in the way the rest of the weekend...
- Arizona Phil does what only he can do...an amazing retrospective on how the 1969 Cubs were built and his memories of the season.
- Ryan Theriot is losing fans in the Cubs organization apparently by sticking to his $3.4M demands. Bruce Miles on the radio and Bruce Levine both saying that an arbitration hearing looks inevitable. It would be the first arbitration hearing in 17 years between the Cubs and a player (Mark Grace).
- Orlando Cabrera signs with the Reds on a 3 million deal for one year with a $1M buyout on a $3M mutual option in 2011. They then acquired Aaron Miles from the A's for Wily Taveras and Adam Rosales. As long as they don't land Johny Damon...
(Interesting twist to this story, A's DFA Taveras immediately. Also, the A's are sending a PTBNL to the Reds as part of the deal).
- Reed Johnson was offered $800K by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- Wezen Ball relates some interesting press quotes when Andre Dawson signed with the Cubs in 1987. There's been a bit of myth perpetuated that Dawson was dead set to
play for the Cubs at any cost. But what really happened was that he was a victim of
collusion by the owners and the blank check story was a desperate plea to find a team for '87. To his credit though, he was a man of his word and certainly didn't sulk over the low-ball contract offer.
"I didn't think they'd make an offer, because I thought they didn't want to be the first ones to sign a free agent," Dawson said yesterday. "But since they did, I'm man enough to stick by it.
I know I'll miss Montreal . . . but you gotta do what you gotta do. I don't want to say a move was overdue, but with the problems I had the last couple years . . . I had the same salary the last six years, and then they offer me a pay cut . . .
It got so that towards the end of the season some of my own teammates told me it would be best that I make a change."
- An interview with an author of a book on how the Cubs may have thrown the 1918 World Series.
- The Xavier Nady deal was made official Friday. The Cubs will be cautious with Nady in March and April though and he probably won't see much time in the field to start the season, much like Tyler Colvin did at the beginning of last season after his Tommy John surgery. I do wonder what that will do to the bench since it means Fukudome won't have a platoon partner. They could possibly put Baker out there, but that means either Fontenot plays against a lefty or Blanco. They could also carry an extra bat at least for the first two weeks as a 5th starter isn't due until April 18th.
Dr. Hecht has some good info on Nady's surgery and expected recovery in the comments.
- Jayson Stark says the Cubs prefer to sign a reliever such as Chan Ho Park or Kiki Calero, otherwise a trade with the Blue Jays for Jason Frasor or Scott Downs is a possibility.
- Jerry Crasnick tweets that Jermaine Dye essentially turned down the offer that Xavier Nady accepted.
- Today in Get off my Lawn with your Baseball Stats Articles.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Sunday, April 18, vs. Houston is when we'll need the fifth starter.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Reds-"As long as they don't land Johny Damon..."
They could land Pujlos, ain't going to matter.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
The article on defensive metrics was pretty good. It would have been better if his shining examples of how to do it right weren't also organizations that value OBP and defense...
I do think that by stacking these defensive improvements next to eachother (CF-LF and 3B-SS) the sum is going to be less than the totals of the parts for the Sox.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
It certainly attempts to address some of the concerns. I would actually like to see fielding preference worked in there, somehow. Since the corner guys get and pitchers shot at the ball before the Middle infielders it seems like that should be incorporated into any model. I'll have to encourage them to look at it over there.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
If this goes to arbitration, Theriot will lose $$ as well as fans. I like Theriot in that he plays hard and gives all he's got. I just don't see him as being worth $3.4 million. I hope both sides will come to an agreement for something under $3 mil. If not, I like the Cubs chances in this one.
Re: Theriot
If I'm Ryan Theriot, I agrue that I've put up numbers very similar to Phil Rizzuto at this age. And he's in the Hall of Fame.
Re: Phil Rizzuto may not qualify as a contemporary
Theriot should counter that Rizzuto was underappreciated by his contemporaries as well. He never got more than 38% of the BBWAA vote. Didn't get in until 1994 when his brilliance became clearer, 38 years after he retired.
Don't let those bastards underpay me, I'm HoF material!
Re: TCR Monday Notes
I was joking, but the arbitration criteria is interesting.
e.g., What are the salaries of comparable players?
~edit~ oops, I see we have one, Stephen Drew.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Any of the players special accomplishments IE Golden Gloves, All Star appearance
Golden gloves? The player has to know how to box?
Re: TCR Monday Notes
When asking for money, it never hurts that the other party thinks you know how to throw a mean hook.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Interesting. Also, this:
"The Players contribution to the team in terms of leadership as well as performance"
I had no idea about that clause. How do you quantify leadership in specific dollars and cents? Does scrappiness count?
Re: TCR Monday Notes
More like "Yakety Sax", better known as the Benny Hill theme.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Oh man, I would pay money to watch Theriot baserunning gaffe's to the benny hill theme. That and caught stealing.
Re: A's DFA Taveras right after making trade.
"be pretty amusing if Reds then DFA Aaron Miles..."
Over Dusty's dead body.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
I like Dana Eveland. His big league numbers are pretty awful, but he's still just a 26 year old lefty with some good stuff.
Had some injury issues throughout his AA and AAA years. I don't think this team has the space to let another youngster figure it out, but somebody just might get him for a steal.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
I was looking at Michael "In Lou's Doghouse and GONE for No Apparent Reason" Wuertz's Baseball Reference page. And lo and behold the pitcher most similar to him... Kiko Calero.
Oh the irony!
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Let Colvin hit in Iowa until we find significant playing time for him or can get value for him in a trade.
I'd probably prefer Taveras. I don't have any faith that Fuld can stay healthy and Taveras is a better defender and probably a better base stealer, and can get hits out of sac bunts if his legs are right.
Tevaras is a month younger than Fuld, too.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Costs being equal, Taveras just seems like a better fit for the team and the role.
But he'll probably be looking for at least a 4th OF job, though I guess there aren't many of those left now.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
He wouldn't exactly be stuck behind Ruth,Mantle and Williams with the Cubs.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
agree about taking a flyer on taveras.
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Have read 'The Original Curse' based on the premise that the 1918 WS was crooked. It's well-written & makes a good circumstantial case that the Cubs were screwed long before the billy goat was booted from WF. It would make a good read between now & the arrival of P's & C's at Phil's place...
Re: TCR Monday Notes
Cubs sniffing around Kris Benson, according to the latest rumors from The Pope over at Foxsports.com
Re: TCR Monday Notes
They are probably just sniffing around his wife, and he happens to be in the same place... Yikes!!

He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.

Police in Lancaster County are investigating a string of extension cable thefts.
East Lampeter Township police say someone stole five extension cables from H.L. Wiker and Sons. The excavating company uses the cords to keep its truck engines warm overnight.
The company thinks the thieves will try to sell the cables for scrap.
"To me, I don't see how it would be much to anybody because it's really not going to be that much to them, most of it's coating ... there's not much copper in there," said Dennis Fenninger of H.L. Wiker and Sons.
Police estimate the loss at $500. They say someone also stole similar cables from nearby Harvey Industries in December and January.

Where to start first . This place is very interesting in many ways but not in a possitive way. Yes , the place is close to Manhattan but paradoxically pretty difficult to get there . If you want to get there by public transportation , you need to change 3 times. From subway to path train and to lightrail or bus. Or you can also use the taxi (from Grove street it is around 7dollars + tips) In general if you want to get to the city it will cost you more than 50 min of travelling with public transportation. Area of this flat is as someone mentioned before veeeery sketchy even dangerous( after dark I will not recommend use of a public transportation to get to your address of staying , definitely taxi! ) We were even speaking to police officer who was paradoxically in charge of that district (Jersey city) and he warned us about this area, because of the drug violence – he literaly said this! We experienced some difficulties with the room also. There was a gap between the AC and window, therefore the second night came a little visitor(mouse). The gap was fixed just with the stiff paper. We cannot imagine how this room works in winter time, because it was relatively cold there. When we came into the appartment, there were no soap to wash hands with. We didn´t have any instructions, even the basics, how to get to appartment and so... Be aware of the american locks, mainly in this room, because you can easily get stuck in front of the room meanwhile your keys are inside of the room. Locks works here very differently from EU ones, so we recommend to take your keys with you even within the flat. When we were trying to contact Sylvia and discuss some matters about the appartment and surroundings, she promised she would come the next morning but she didn´t show up even contact us back. Consider your stay here.
We stayed for two weeks in this room.
The area at first, seemed a bit sketchy but after talking to someone who's been living there for over 3 month, everything was great.
Nothing happened to us (don't judge the neighborhood just by the looks :) ).
The room and the house in general are really cool and you have everything you need (bathroom, nice kitchen, living room, AC).
Also going to the city is pretty easy, it takes you about 25min with the LightRail and the PATH from Exchange Place.
I would totally recommend it to everyone who is looking for a affordable place to stay while doing a NYC trip.
I was 6 days in New York and have lived in that time in the house of Sylwia. The accommodation itself was top. Comfortable beds, large living room with kitchen and two bathrooms furnished reasonable. There were towels also by the hostess, as free wireless. Bursts is (2x double bed rooms, 1xEinbettzimmer) for 5 people. Sylwia is and when guests to meet only on Monday departures on. But what not disturbing, because then you have more privacy. What should be the narrow, is the fact that sound insulation in the construction of the house was probably a foreign word. If there are more guests in the apartment over it, it can be night and morning sometimes be a bit louder as each step sounds like a herd of zebras. And toilet paper you should buy in any case on the first day, as the funny way will not be restocked. Smaller kiosks are just around the corner, but an all too many choices should not be expected. American lifestyle up.
Ich war 6 Tage in New York und habe in dieser Zeit in dem Haus von Sylwia gewohnt. Die Unterkunft an sich war Top. Gemütliche Betten, ein großes Wohnzimmer mit Küche und zwei vernünftig eingerichtete Badezimmer. Handtücher gab es auch von der Gastgeberin, so wie freies W LAN. Platzt ist für insgesamt 5 Leute (2x Doppelbettzimmer, 1xEinbettzimmer). Sylwia ist eigentlich nur Montags und wenn Gäste Abreisen an zu treffen. Was aber nicht weiter stört, da man dann mehr Privatssphäre hat. Was zu beimengen ist, ist die Tatsache, dass Trittschalldämmung beim Bau des Hauses wohl ein Fremdwort war. Sind noch weiter Gäste in der Wohnung drüber, kann es nachts und morgens auch mal etwas lauter werden, da sich jeder Schritt anhört wie eine Herde Zebras. Und Klopapier sollte man sich auf jeden fall am ersten Tag kaufen, da die komischer Weise nicht nachgeliefert wird. Kleinere Kioske sind direkt um die Ecke, aber eine All zu große Auswahl sollte man nicht erwarten. American Lifestyle eben.
Very nice and clean apartment. After 5min walk on Liberdy you reach the Light Rail State Park. In Newport, the path change and continue until the 33th. Even you are in Manhattan. Sylwia is very nice. She has even picked me up from the airport. Will certainly come back again.
Sehr schöne und saubere Wohnung. Nach 5min Fußweg erreicht man die Lightrail am Liberdy Staate Park. In Newport in die Path umsteigen und bis zur 33th fahren. Schon ist man in Manhattan. Sylwia ist sehr nett. Sie hat mich selbst vom Flughafen abgeholt. Werde bestimmt wieder kommen.
very nice apartment - very friendly and reliable host - costs reasonable - absolutely recommendable!
It's just been a pleasure to stay there...
I recommend to use google.maps for getting out and in house, just click the public transportation button and you'll get a choice of all bus stations around the door. Bus connections are quite reliable...
Nice apartment very quiet but wayyyy to far to get back and forth to the City the train stop running at 10 so we where stuck until 5 am.
Sylwia was a great host, everthing as described in the offer and always there if you had questions concering the appartment or itineraries.
Good range of beautiful private rooms. Quick and easy booking. The room was exactly what the description was super nice.
Gutes Angebot an schönen privaten Zimmern. Schnelle und einfache Buchung. Das Zimmer entsprach genau der Beschreibung, war super schön.
We arrived in Manhattan by coach and it required three different public transports (Metro, PATH and Light rail system) to get to the house. We had let know in advance when we'd arrive but she was out, meaning we had to wait 40 minutes outside with our bags - we tried calling but she didn't answer. When she arrived we were hurriedly shown to our room and within 5 minutes she left; we didn't see her again.
Toilet seat was broken, there was no toilet roll (another guest asked her about this and was told to buy it himself) and there were not enough bowls or cups for the number of people staying.
Most significantly it took at best an hour to get to down-town Manhattan, and cost about 10$ each way. Factor this in when comparing here with a location in, say, Queens, which is within the Metro boundary - for which you can purchase a 7-day pass for about 29$.
The place on the whole was not TOO bad for the money in terms of cleanliness and facility (free WiFi), but things like having to go get your own toilet roll and simply her lack of presence made it not very homely and is not somewhere that can be recommended for someone sight-seeing New York or who otherwise needs to be near it.

Knee-jerk reaction won't stop shootings
We are all saddened by the horrific events in Newtown, Conn. Again another example of mental illness rearing its ugly head. We are all hurt by such tragedy and violence. But we should not allow our raw emotions to dictate ill-advised "swift action." We need to consider more people are killed by drunken drivers every day than by gun violence, yet no one calls for taking away every automobile. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, we would not consider getting rid of all but military aircraft simply because planes were used in the mass slaying of innocent life.
Now is the time to look at the real cause of gun violence and recognize it is mental illness and a lack of self-responsibility, not the tools used by the insane.
The liberals will no doubt try to use this tragedy to further their short-sighted agenda. Let's not be fooled.

#2. We're Addicts
Quick, what's your favorite movie? Is it Lethal Weapon 2? Pirates of the Caribbean 3? How about Next Friday?
It's never a sequel, is it? Our favorite movies, the ones that stick with us, are always new experiences. We meet characters, we connect with them, we get drawn into a story from the beginning and watch its resolution at the end. It's a complete experience. It just works. There's nothing more satisfying than being told a fresh story from start to finish. And yet practically the only things Hollywood pumps out these days are sequels and remakes, reboots and reimaginings. Why is that?
Because we asked them to, of course.
"Will you pleeeeaaase make another Superman movie? THIS time, surely, somebody will enjoy it!"
You know that feeling when you finish a really good book, and you're just goddamn empty inside? If you could measure exactly when kids turned the last page of the Harry Potter series for the first time, I could probably extrapolate a pretty mean graph plotting the demise of childhood around the world. Finishing a good story is devastating. Because there's nothing more addictive than a good story, and just like any good high, it's going to be brutal coming down. The longer you spend hopped up on 'shrooms and bouncing around the rocks like a Gummi Bear, the longer you're going to spend sweating on the kitchen floor, trying to decide which is worse -- the existential crisis or the projectile diarrhea.
A good story makes addicts of us all, and addicts will always demand more, even if there's no more good stuff to give. You find a junkie in the middle of withdrawals and he's not going to turn down your heroin because you dropped it in the litter box. He'll shoot that shit into his arm, cat-poop rocks and all. That's why we'll watch Jack Sparrow fuck a squirrel on a life raft rather than say goodbye to him in a dignified manner.
Source."He's such a great character! RAPE HIS CORPSE FOR OUR AMUSEMENT." - The audience.
By pumping out crappy, cynical, slapdash sequels to our favorite properties, Hollywood isn't supplying anything that there isn't insane, drooling, shaky-handed demand for. It's only rebooting the reboot of the Spider-Man reboot because, when it closed the book and tried to leave the room, we all snapped wide awake and collectively screeched "NOOOO! READ IT AGAIN!"
#1. We're Too Media Savvy
How long has it been since we got a fresh, original story to get addicted to, though? If something's not a sequel, it's a reboot. If it's not a reboot, it's a reimagining. If it's not a reimagining, it's a mashup, or an homage, or a series of transparent references. It feels like we've seen everything before, doesn't it? Movies today aren't like new hit songs; they're like house DJ remixes -- more obnoxious versions of classic hits we've all heard a million times before. Are movies getting worse, or am I just getting old, or has the unique combination of exhaust fumes, whiskey, Red Bull and sun exposure that comprises my typical weekend permanently deformed the part of my brain that registers joy?
But ALSO, it's because the last few generations of us all came of age at the highest point of media saturation in human history. When we were kids, cable TV was just hitting its stride, home video was all the rage, video games were first realizing their potential and the Internet was connecting everything together into one all-consuming pop culture blob. That blob hungrily, mindlessly devoured every piece of media it could get its gelatinous jowls around, and inevitably, it started excreting the desiccated remains out the other side.
This is that other side.
We, friends, are living beneath the asshole of the pop culture blob.
Pictured: You. Your life. Covered in blob-shit.
There's nothing new or exciting to people like me, because people like me were thrown body and soul into the media Big Bang. The atoms of everything we love were used to build everything you see today. If you grew up in the '60s, the first time you saw Planet of the Apes, it probably blew your mind. How could you have seen that twist coming? There had never been anything like it. And that's because you spent maybe two hours a week at the movies, if you were a huge fan. Between those times, you did other things like "run around outside" or "speak to other human beings." My generation didn't watch movies in the theater -- we watched them in our living rooms, in our bedrooms, on our phones or in our friggin' cars while driving on the highway. We're not blown away by the reboot of Planet of the Apes, because we not only saw the original -- we watched the first reboot, the sequel to that reboot and the Director's Cut of the reimagining of that sequel, and played the Alternate Reality Game for the pre-release of the reboot on the movie's website.
It's not that Hollywood's out of ideas -- they've never had a ton to begin with. It's that we've simply hit our saturation point. I said I was excited about Looper, earlier -- but I've seen Goodfellas, The Professional and Back to the Future a billion times each. I'm so up on its source material that everything is probably going to feel mind-numbingly familiar. I watched Brave this weekend, but I saw Mulan when I was younger -- I didn't get much out of the Scottish reboot.
I mean, an inappropriate erection in front of some children, sure, but not much else.
It used to be fine to create along the lines of your influences, because most people didn't share the same influences. But now we're growing up connected, watching and reading and listening to the same things -- because we're all watching and reading and listening to everything. I mentioned earlier that movies are using niche markets like a crutch, and you've probably never seen a Madea movie -- but I bet if you did, you'd catch elements of Soul Food and Mrs. Doubtfire, a little Friday and just a touch of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
If you've heard all of the songs a million times before, even the most talented musician in the world can only issue remixes.
Hey, I don't mean to be preaching the end times here. If you're not this jaded yet, great! Go out and enjoy things (your time will come, you rotten little bastards). But if the luster seems to be flaking off movies these days, maybe the problem isn't with Hollywood. Maybe it's because, with people our age, with our knowledge and our backgrounds, all Hollywood can do is pull a nervous Chris Farley routine and mutter "Hey, remember that time with the thing? You do? Yeah ... that was awesome!"
Hey look, there's another little reference that we can all get.

Two young Buffalo men pleaded guilty to charges related to the home invasion and robbery of a retired, 84-year-old Buffalo school teacher, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced today. Alezander Lermineau, 22, and Nicolas Weathington, 17, both of the same address on Shepard Street, were both charged with second-degree robbery and second-degree burglary. They entered their guilty pleas before Erie County Judge Sheila A. DiTullio.
Authorities said Lermineau and Weathington broke into the victim's Goethe Street home, held her down and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. They took her purse and used her credit cards "to go on a shopping spree at the Galleria Mall," according to a statement from the DA's office.
The two face maximum prison sentences of 15 years each when sentenced Dec. 11.

The Ice Man
Many of us dream of becoming explorers. Sometimes we may mistakenly think that there is nothing left to explore on Earth. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we learned today from Dr. Lonnie Thompson and Dr. Ellen Thompson, of the Byrd Polar Research Center at The Ohio State University. They continue to explore the world, including Antarctica and Greenland, in order to study the Earth's climate. They both spoke to us in Second Life, and talked about where they'd been, and what they study. Lonnie Thompson even has the nickname "The Ice Man" because he is responsible for groundbreaking research in the area of climate change. He and Ellen have both observed, monitored, and studied ice cores and glaciers for evidence of how Earth's climate has changed, and is changing. And not only are they a research team, they are a husband and wife team too! So we were lucky to talk to both of them in our Second Life NASA island – outside sitting on the snow next to an ice core drill!
After we sat in the snow with both Drs. Thompson, we each got to work on making a short movie of our time in Youth EXPO. We only have one more class to go, and looking back at all our photos, we learned so much about climate, met the most amazing scientists whose research is changing the way we think about the Earth, got to build model sediment cores, saw the Space Shuttle on the launch pad on a visit to Kennedy Space Center, and millions of other things. It's a big challenge creating a short movie of so much!

Has anyone seen Tenjou Tenge if you have then do you know where I can finish watching it because it's not all on veoh well not in english and I can't get it from animefever so does anyone have any ideas?
wut iz tenjou tengei neva heard of that anime b4
same here first for me
it but its about a school that teaches martial arts and too find a true fighter. I can tell that you can watch the first couple of episodes on veohtv.com. "Soon the ashe's of your past shall burn again."
thanks for the info.
that xplainz itwell thanx 4 tha tip
It's not a school that teaches martial arts, but a school hat has several martial arts clubs in it that fight with each other. The fights that they show are the power struggle betwwen the clubs, the Executive Council ( like a student council) and the power locked within one of the girls in the school. I have the first 4 dvds to the series, I just need to get the rest. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
THATS THE RULES... "past is passed and let the past passed away"
I know. I've died once, and was almost killed once again, but I,m still here. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
"past is passed and let the past passed away"
the ending was so dissapointing.
Here's some places to try:
Hope that this helps. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
try this zomganime.com^^ / anime6.org or crunchyroll "everyone knows something but nobody knows everything"
I myself don't possess the ending but I have the climaxing episodesand to those who are speaking about what the show is about the mustnot forget the babes who a lot of us may have dreamed were human.... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Tri from www. animes-bg.com
hi every body im new! ^_^

www.zomganime.com it has the series and the movie on it though if you want the full series(the full story) read the manga it is already finished but the anime cuts it really short and doesn't even go nearly as far as the manga does.

ATTICA – Attica police are looking for the public's help in finding the vandals who caused $50,000 in damage to 28 new and used vehicles at the Upstate Chevrolet dealership on Main Street in the village overnight Friday.
The windshields of several vehicles were kicked in and rocks thrown through others, said police, who are reviewing surveillance videotape from the dealer and nearby businesses.
Police Chief John D. Palillo Jr. said that as yet, there is no motive, but also suggested that if this is a prank that got out of hand, it would be advantageous for the perpetrators to come forward.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Attica Police Department at (585) 721-5276 or the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office at (585) 786-2255.

By Mary Stalker
We are just weeks away from the "fiscal cliff." Should we go over the cliff there will be an increase in taxes and a decrease in spending. The decrease in spending is what has the human services community very concerned. The closer we get, the louder the cacophony of outrage and demands becomes. Those who will fall the hardest, however, are ignoring the situation, not paying one bit of attention. They are entirely too busy napping, snacking and smushing Play-Doh.
New Yorkers are in serious danger of losing supports that are essential to our economy and our long-term success. According to a July report issued by Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, "Under Threat: Sequestration's Impact on Nondefense Jobs and Services," more than 6,000 fewer children would be served through Head Start, more than 1,200 Head Start employees would lose their jobs and more than 6,000 fewer children would receive child care subsidies.
The unfortunate reality is that there are many sectors of vulnerable populations. When children lose services, however, the effect is three-fold. The most immediate is to the children themselves.
Ideally, children should be in high-quality environments, but even a child care program that is meeting minimum standards is better than a patchwork of unreliable and unregulated care that puts a child's safety and sense of security and comfort at risk.
The second layer of effect is to the parents. Balancing work and parenthood is a challenge for even the most compensated in the workforce. For parents who are struggling to make ends meet and working in jobs with little job security, losing child care assistance can mean losing a job or making sacrifices like heat, electricity and regular meals. The long-term impacts can be devastating for vulnerable children and families.
The third layer of effect is to society. In order for New York to build a stronger economy, it is imperative that we care for and educate our young children. Children who engage in high-quality early care and education are less likely to repeat grades, need special education, drop out of school or be incarcerated. There are multiple cost-saving results of investments in the young, but perhaps the greatest outcome is a well-prepared competitive future workforce.
In order to entice new industries and businesses to New York, we have to have something to offer: our human capital. If we continue to shortchange our children and sit back while other states invest in theirs, we might as well hang out the "closed for business" sign now.
We are approaching the cliff. We may or may not go over it. But if we do, our children may not survive the fall without a parachute. New York has to be prepared to ensure a soft landing for our children and our future. Are we?
Mary Stalker is the director of communications, research and development at the Early Care & Learning Council.

Best newborn product! Review by Becky

I don't know why more people haven't reviewed this - it is by the best thing I bought for my babies. The wool absorbs amazingly well when accidents happen during changes, is easy to clean and odour free - I just soak and rinse once per week. Great for changing a baby on a bed or during diaper free time. Also good for co-sleeping with older babies or as a stroller liner. Love, love, love this! (Posted on 10/30/12)

Despite strong support by House leaders, the farm bill is defeated with a 234 to 195 vote.
by Abby (Huibregtse) Bauer, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
The path to a new farm bill hit another huge roadblock yesterday, as House members defeated their version of the bill by a 234 to 195 vote. A surprising 62 conservative Republicans joined 172 Democrats in the opposition.
This came just hours after the House voted to adopt the Goodlatte-Scott (G-S) amendment as part of the House's farm bill. The 291 to 135 vote in favor of the amendment removed a milk supply management plan from the farm bill.
A letter of support for the amendment came from House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) earlier this week. In addition, Boehner, who had not voted for a farm bill since 1996, boldly stated that despite reservations he would vote in favor of the farm bill and encouraged his fellow House members to do so, as well.
It was expected the farm bill was going to have enough backing from both Republicans and Democrats to pass. However, at the end of the day, the bill lost too much support from urban Democrats due to cuts in food assistance, while conservative Republicans didn't think cuts to food stamps and farm programs went as deep as they should.
A blame game ensued, as Republicans felt Democrats went back on their word by not voting for the farm bill. However, Democrats refused to take the blame, stating that Republicans voted for amendments late in the game they knew could affect the outcome, including the Southerland amendment that changed work requirements for SNAP beneficiaries. Even before the vote, the Obama administration had said it would not accept the House bill, stating the $20 billion in cuts to the food stamp program were too severe while crop insurance and other farm subsidy reductions were not significant enough.
The defeat was a blow to many, including Boehner and his Republican leadership team. For some, though, the downfall of the bill was considered a win. For example, the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), the nation's oldest and largest taxpayer advocacy group, considered the failed vote a victory for the nation's taxpayers. They have been working to defeat the farm bill for the past year, because in their opinion it was expensive, contained too many subsidies and was not viable. Apparently, 234 members of the House agreed with them to some extent.
Moving forward, lawmakers have until September 30 before the current extension of the farm bill is set to expire. SNAP is permanent law, so that funding will continue past that date at current levels regardless if a new farm bill is passed or not. Unfortunately, the agriculture components of the bill are what lie in limbo without the passage of the farm bill. Many of those provisions are set to expire this fall without future congressional action.
Therefore, this defeat brings confusion and uncertainty for farmers and politicians alike. While some members have commented they feel confident the House can come to an agreement yet this summer, others are not so sure. U.S. House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin C. Peterson, D-Minn., said, "I'll continue to do everything I can to get a farm bill passed, but I have a hard time seeing where we go from here."
The House members will return to work on Tuesday. Let's hope the desire for progress, reform and a new farm bill outweigh partisan biases. The future of the dairy industry is waiting on it.

A bicyclist that is more focused on how much they can haul on their bike than actually riding the bike. Adding bags upon bags to carry things they will never really need. Some items may include tiki torches, hammocks, camping chairs, box fans, art easels, welding equipment, sewing machines and last but not least a customized kick stand to hold the 900 pound bicycle that they have created. The majority of the equipment that they haul on their bike is used only when they are not riding the bicycle. A bagger will speak often of riding a bicycle even though the majority of the time is spent doing anything but riding. They are helpful from time to time as one thing they do have in their bags is beer.

SF approves 220-square-foot apartments
City is home to some of smallest apartments in country
Itsy-bitsy apartments are coming to San Francisco.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved legislation allowing construction of hundreds of 220-square-foot apartment units. Building codes had required that living rooms alone be that size.
It makes San Francisco home to some of the smallest apartments in the country.
The micro-apartments include a bathroom, kitchen and closet. Two people will be allowed to live in the tiny apartments, which are expected to fetch $1,300 to $1,500 a month.
The San Francisco Chronicle says they will help those who want to live alone but can't afford most of the studio apartments on the market.
The average studio apartment in the city goes for more than $2,000 a month.

It's a hack'n'slash game with a few bad, completely disconnected stories sprinkled on top, and possibly the most disappointing AI ever (partly due to all the pre-release hyping). The game feels less interactive than Ultima 7, which is 15 years old, and has less atmosphere than Morrowind (its predecessor). It does have nice graphics and generally fun combat, but I was expecting a RPG (meaning a believable, consistent, immersive "world simulator"), not a 3D version of Diablo. It was clearly designed for younger console gamers, not "old school" RPG fans. If only Valve would reunite the Origin / Looking Glass team and produce a real, polished, consistent RPG, based on Source... I can dream, can't I? :-)

"I'm very proud of these kids, the guys that play a lot, they're great kids but there's other five or six guys that don't play a lot and they showed a lot of character," Salem coach Rich Hart said. "They're great teammates and they are great young men. That's something that will make them great people, and that's the bottom line."
Salem got the start that they wanted for to the district final. It was the final three quarters there were forgettable for the Quakers.
Ryan Bush connected on back-to-back three pointers just inside of the three minute mark of the first quarter to put the Quakers (19-7) up by nine and by the end of the first eight minutes Salem had doubled up the Cardinals (12-11) 16-8.
Bush led the Quakers with 19 points while Max Wolfgang added 12 points.
"We got out to a good start but in the second quarter we just kind of got like deer in the headlights and we just didn't finish shots," Salem coach Rich Hart said. "We knew eventually they were going to play some man but we just didn't execute and when we did we didn't finish, that's basketball."
The Cardinals shook off their own lackluster start and used a 6-0 run to begin the second quarter to pull within two points. Mark Handel catapulted Mooney into the lead with a basket at 2:34, as the Cardinals went into the break leading 23-19.
Handel finished the night with 14 points.
"We came out with the mindset that we knew we were the better team," Youngstown junior Joe Cunningham said. "We knew we had to rebound and we wanted to run the floor on them. I think we did a pretty good job aside from the fact that we came out a little slow."
Salem cut the deficit to just one point as the third quarter unfolded, but Cunningham provided a spark to keep his team in the lead and the Cardinals began to surge from there.
"We cut it to one and we have a chance to get a loose ball there and we don't get it," Hart said. "It spurts out to their hottest shooter who knocks down a three. That was a back-breaker."
In all, 15 of Cunningham's game-high 22 points came from three point land. Freshman Andrew Armstrong also added 12 points.
"We fed him the good-shooting pasta before the game," Youngstown Mooney coach Brian Danilov said. "Joey always works hard for us and Armstrong has come a long way for us he couldn't have come along any better for us."
"(Coach) always jokes all the time, me being a Italian he tells me either 'eat the fast pasta' or 'eat the good shooting pasta,'" Cunningham said. "I was mentally prepared tonight, I hit my fair share of shots and they were falling tonight, thankfully."
The Cardinals steadily increased their lead, closing out the third quarter with a 38-33 score and never letting the Quakers back within striking distance.
"You have to give them (the kids) credit and give my staff credit," Danilov said. "You won't ever get anywhere by yourself. I'm always a great coach whenever I have talent, when you have talent it makes me look like a genius."
The loss for the Quakers concludes a three-year run for Hart's group that includes 10 seniors. Salem hits the reset button next year with Wolfgang the lone returning letter winner.
"It just shows where hard work and dedication can get you. Obviously it didn't get us where we wanted to go, but it got us pretty darn close," Hart said. "We have to wake up tomorrow and be proud of what we did, and maybe in our next endeavor, know that we have to work a little bit harder."
