Five die in New Jersey house fire

(UPI) -- A fire in a New Jersey farmhouse killed five people Thursday, four of them children, and left an 8-year-old in critical condition, authorities said.

The fire in South Plainfield, a borough of Middlesex County, broke out in the early morning and quickly engulfed the building. The home was a farmhouse built before the area was developed as a suburban tract, neighbors said.

A 12-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy, a 3-year-old boy, a 2-year-old and a grandmother perished in the fire, television cable service News 12 reported.

A relative identified the dead woman as Ann Jefferson, the Newark, N.J., the (Newark) Star-Ledger reported.

Three children escaped the blaze, but were treated for injuries at local hospitals, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said. It was not immediately confirmed if the victims were all members of the same family.

Vacation in Newark???? I don't think so!!You don't want to drive into NYC, unless money is no obecjt and you can afford the parking, in which case you wouldn't be considering staying in Newark. If you're going to see the sights in NYC, then stay in NYC. The commute isn't worth the hassle. To save money, you could try Priceline or Hotwire. Or you could save money by renting an apt/condo [try HomeAway.com] because you could prepare some of your own meals.If you must stay in NJ, look into maybe the hotel in Weehawken that is right near the ferry stop there's a ferry that goes between Weehawken and NYC and that might be an alternative.For info from past guests about hotels anywhere, go to TripAdvisor.com. You can also save some money [perhaps - you'll have to calculate whether it's a good deal for you] with CityPass.com.Oh one thing you can do that's free is to take the Staten Island Ferry [probably don't want to do this at rush hour!]. It leaves from South Ferry, goes past the Statue of Liberty and gives you a great view of the NY skyline. Another inexpensive thing to do is to walk the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. [Take the subway to Brooklyn Bridge stop, take a short walk to the bridge and there you go!]Good luck!

it is important to recognize the wrongs being committed against Christians in Turkey.“Religious minorities are under grave threat in today’s Turkey,” said Royce, a Republican from California. “Rather than enjoying protection, very vulnerable religious minority groups including the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the Greek Orthodox Church are denied full legal status.”Ken Hachikian, chairman of the Armenian National Committee of America, said the congressional committee vote was a step in the right direction for Christians in Turkey.“We won this landmark victory in the face of years of Turkey’s lies about its supposed tolerance, and despite its token conversion of a few ancient churches,” said Hachikian, according to CNN-Turkey.Archbishop Vicken Aykazian, Legate of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church, was in attendance when the congressional committee voted in favor of the bipartisan amendment. He expressed the importance of the vote.“This is a vote of justice against injustice,” said Aykazian. “I hope that this will be the first of many steps towards preserving Armenian Christian heritage in Turkey.”The United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs is responsible for overseeing and creating legislation regarding foreign assistance. This type of assistance includes security and health issues taking place overseas, according to the U.S. House of Representatives website.The Berman-Cicilline Amendment recently passed by the committee encourages the Turkish government to honor international treaties and human rights laws.The amendment encourages the Turkish government to “allow the rightful church and lay owners of Christian church properties, without hindrance or restriction, to organize and administer prayer services, religious education, clerical training, appointments, and succession, religious community gatherings, social services, including ministry to the needs of the poor and infirm, and other religious activities.” doxycycline cheap car insurance

I am deeply saddened by this news of Case passing. I’ve been friends, and inspired by him since we first met at Writers Corner 149 St. Case along with Bear167, Rib and Vine MTA. We all took a ride up to NOGA where I first got my true taste of the world style. There I met Kade 198, Team 5, Dee3 all rocking dope styles on paper, and canvases.Â I was honored to be one of few to share in Case’s personal life, dinning with his mom and spending time developing styles before going out to bomb. To sharing many trains at famed locations like Esplande, the 1 tunnel and Gun Hill Road. No one could bring so much liveliness to those moments, from just plain freestyling to hardcore lyrics to distinguish himself as the King of Style.Â Thank you for the friendship, inspiration and respect to be called king along with you as I rose to the level I am today!Rest in peace my brother, my prayers go out to you and family in this painful hour.Â buy doxycycline auto insurance quotes

Last night I heard an update on the Michigan garden under attack. It seems a decision was made to stop going after the garden for now. A great move for the poor gardener, but I would have liked to see the politicians out there getting hundreds if not thousands of phone calls on Monday protesting. I suspect the politicians had more pressing things to spend their time on, like fixing their budgets.Back in the garden, my sunflowers are starting to open. Like most of my plants this year, their growth is stunted. Last year I needed sticks to hold them up, this year they are maybe 2-3 feet tall and the flowers are tiny by comparison. Has anyone else noticed their plants getting a slow start this year? One container I was starting swiss chard seeds in before putting them in the ground is finally producing leaves that look like they may have a future on the dinner table. For weeks they just seemed to grow a bit, and stood the same size. I suspect the heat has had something to do with that. Up until this year I was always trying to give my containers as much sun as I could, moving them around. Recently I have them so the sun is partially blocked. Has anyone had a ‘bad’ garden year? Any thoughts on the slow growth? infinity auto insurance auto insurance quotes
