the black line you are seeing when you take a pic of your tv is because of the tv's refresh rate.. as for the light it could be a similar thing happening because of the florescent lights have a flicker rate..
normally lcd tvs are 50/60hz.. so a shutter speed over that should suffice.. the lights are 120hz i think (google search)

After a heated debate over high fishing fees and an announcement that the U.S. would pull out of the South Pacific Tuna Treaty, negotiations have restored the treaty and U.S. fishing vessels are back at sea.
Due to a bad 2015 season, the 37-boat American tuna fleet said they couldn't afford the fees for the fishing days they had agreed to buy in August. They sought to lower the number of fishing days for the fleet and reduce their bill, but the Solomon Islands-based Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, the administrators of the treaty were holding the fleet to their initial agreement.
The U.S. Department announced in mid-January that it intends to pull out of the 27-year-old treaty, effective immediately, and U.S. boats were headed back to port along the California coast.
Now the department has announced that they've negotiated, lowering the number of collective fishing days from 5,959 to around 3,900 and the fleet's tuna tab from $90 million to $66 million. The unused days will be resold to other nations, according to the treaty agency, but those deals will not be as profitable as the original deal with the U.S.
"I commend the Pacific Island Parties for once again being able to use their strong commitment to regional cooperation," agency Director-General James Movick said in a prepared statement, "and unity to find solutions to a problem that has been foisted on them by the actions of others, in this case the U.S. tuna fishing fleet."
While recent disagreement over the treaty has been resolved, the U.S. fleet isn't out of the fire quite yet. The current agreement only lasts until the end of 2016, so negations will continue to ensure the treaty works for everyone if it is renewed next year.
It's impossible to tell what might come of a renegotiation at this point, but the U.S. will surely be looking to add more flexibility to the agreement, avoiding the pitfalls we faced this year. One bad season can really affect the fleet, so tuna boats need to have the option to assess their situation and change their outlook for the next season.
Complete withdrawal from the treaty would devastate the U.S. fleet, so expect to hear about the treaty from now until its renewal.Add a comment Add a comment

As a creative English major turned fishing news editor, I was really excited the first time I heard about the FisherPoets Gathering.
Being an industry outsider, I never thought about fishing and art mixing in any way, shape or form. Not that I thought the two couldn't go hand in hand; I had just never experienced it.
Boy, do fishermen crank out some beautiful words!
I first attended a FisherPoets reading at Pacific Marine Expo back in November and loved it. I didn't attend the annual gathering in Astoria, Ore., unfortunately, but there are some great photos of the event on the FisherPoets website and from the local media.
Over 95 poets took to the stage during the gathering and many of them were new to the scene.
Corey Arnold, a Portland-based photographer who has worked with National Fisherman, added a new element to the gathering, projecting photos and video he had gathered from the back of his pick-up truck at the side of a gallery building.
While reading about the gathering is no supplement for being there and listening to all of the poetry, there is one poem posted on the website that really sums up what these poets are all about.
The poem, titled "Where We're From," is a collaborative poem by the attendees. Bits and pieces of a lot of individual and group poems were combined to create this one.
Where We're From
We're from the Sears catalogue
with only three choices,
from frosted flakes and Icy Straits.
We're the coast plains, the Delaware River,
train whistles, and fog horns in the night.
We're from the smokehouse out at Chenega,
tidepools, salmon berries and glistening sweat, a live net
of flotsam and jetsam. We're from Québécois,
meatballs, ice cold glasses of coca cola,
white elephants and gnarled-up hands. We're from
traders and travelers, standing up straight,
thrifty and sensible ones, the good group
that puts down roots. We're: hold your horses,
clean your plate, trust no one, and help your sister.
We're from Lutheran potlucks, holy water
washing hands clean, the people who turned left,
and prayed about it. We're from
tide-water Virginia, spaghetti, sour dough
French bread, sugar plums and pickled herring.
From Friday nights in Buffalo, the dance where out parents met,
we're sin, and soiled women, and the cold swim dad took.
We're from men who don't cry in public,
from Edna Bay where photos and dusty books still sit.
We're scrapbooks with black pages,
our origins long forgotten,
the last of our kin and kind.
For a collection of photos and more info on this year's gathering, check out their website or visit their Facebook page.Add a comment Add a comment

When the Gloucester shrimp season kicked off on Dec. 1, 1985, the whiting boats switching over from a late season realized that they had company on their grounds.
Two 90' scallopers — the O'Neal's pride and the Jake O'Neal — had come up from Virginia. O'Neal vessels weren't completely foreign to Gloucester fishermen; they usually came up for the summer scallop season. But this time was different.
Instead of scallop dredges, they sported southern shrimp gear. Cue the talks of southern invasion. Rumor had it that that the two boats were scouts for another two dozen O'Neal vessels that were looking to switch out of an uncertain scallop fishery.
As you know, fishermen tend to be protective of "their" section of the ocean and outsiders aren't always welcome.
The O'Neal vessels became the hottest talk of the town. One of the two boats ended up leaving, but the Jake O'Neal stayed put. Locals gave Captain George Jones the silent treatment, his radio calls met with silence most days. It wasn't rare for him to get the middle finger instead of a hello from passing boats.
Despite debate over whether or not the Jake O'Neal's southern gear was fit for northern waters, they were landing a respectable amount of shrimp.
National Fisherman Field Editor M.L. Edwards went along with Capt. Jones one day and watched him pull 3,800 pounds of clean shrimp. He was averaging about the same as Gloucester fishermen.
Denny O'Neal, manager of Seaford, Va., shrimp company that owns the fleet said they weren't going to send any more boats right away.
"I could send another boat or two; I haven't decided yet," he said. "I think the resource is there, but we're just learning the bottom."
Gloucester fishermen let out a sigh of relief.
Over time, the hostile attitude settled down into one of neutral wariness. After all, most of those Gloucester fishermen troubled by the thought of outsiders had worked off the coast of Maine and Cape May, N.J., where they had been the outsiders.
Always remember where you've been and where you might end up next season. You never know when you'll end up in someone else's water.Add a comment Add a comment

I probably spend too much time on Twitter.
A lot of people look at the social media platform and ask, "what's the point?" I don't need to know about every trip my friend takes to Starbucks or every thought that runs through their head in a given day.
But it's a good tool for journalists and occasionally you run into some new information or a story worth digging into.
This past week, I was adding to my massive list of "fish news" sources and came across Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's official feed. She had just tweeted about the upcoming season 12 premiere of "Deadliest Catch," and revealed that she had a family connection to the show.
So proud—my cousin's son Sean is the newest Captain in the Deadliest Catch fleet! https://t.co/CX0GDMZWTf— Sen. Lisa Murkowski (@lisamurkowski) February 22, 2016
Now I know "Deadliest Catch" and other commercial fishing TV shows are for entertainment and aren't hard-hitting documentary material, but the connection serves as a nice reminder that, despite the Hollywood of it all, these crews are hard at work.
23-year-old Sean Dwyer, will be the youngest skipper in the history of the show.
Sean's dad (and Murkowski's cousin's husband), Pat Dwyer was a well-established Bering Sea fisherman before tragically succumbing to ALS in the summer of 2013.
According to John Gray, one of the show's executive producers, Pat had purchased a boat, the Brenna A, with the specific goal of setting Sean up for the future. He said Sean being on the show this season will tell the "story of Sean carrying the torch from his father into captaincy."
Sean will be working to catch Captain Sig Hansen's 290,000 pounds of Bairdi crab.
Surely the show's producers will hit this storyline hard throughout its next season, but don't let that make you scoff at the story.
Behind the show designed to entertain the masses is a real fishing family.Add a comment Add a comment

The number of salmon returning to rivers in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures in Japan has decreased significantly since the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that damaged Japan in 2011, according to reports from the Chicago Tribune.
Salmon eggs are collected and young salmon are released into rivers in those districts each year, but fewer salmon were released following the 2011 earthquake. Those salmon were supposed to return last fall, but came back at the lowest levels since the disaster.
Can you blame them? The magnitude 9.0 earthquake was the most powerful one to ever hit Japan and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
It's bad enough trying to help a stock recover from natural population fluctuations or overfishing, let alone a national disaster that shakes the entire country.
According to reports, about 236,000 salmon had been caught in Iwate rivers as of Dec. 10, a decrease of 22 percent from the previous year. Numbers from Miyagi saw a 31 percent decline.
Data gathering for Fukushima stocks has not been completed, but the industry has only been operating in six of the 10 rivers they would normally since the nuclear accident and expects numbers to be very low.
Returns have been low as of late, but the industry is cautiously optimistic and has collected more than 90 percent of their target egg supply. Not a bad plan.
The disaster, of course, had people worried back in the states, too. As much as the corners of the internet would like to have you believe radiation from the nuclear disaster is still making it's way to North America, scientists have officially said "don't worry about it." Your Pacific tuna and salmon are safe.
While we aren't problem-free across the Pacific, remember to be thankful of the stocks when they're healthy. It has been an uphill battle for Japanese fishermen since 2011, but it looks like they're finally getting to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Lert's hope they can get back to full-throttle fishing soon.Add a comment Add a comment

If you've ever wondered what life might be like if we developed underwater settlements, I've got bad news for you.
Well, I have bad news for you that you might have missed 50 years ago.
While looking through back issues for the Fishing Back When section in the March issue of National Fisherman, I came across an article from 1966 that explored the idea of humans colonizing the ocean. Pretty cool idea, huh?
Apparently, it would be terrible.
According to experienced diver and underwater researcher Prof. John E. Bardach, Earth's oceans, much like space, would be "hostile to extended residence."
"Underwater existence is by no means as simple and easy as optimistic reports would have it — nor, in most places we will want to go for economic reasons, as beautiful as a Jacques Cousteau film would make it seem," he said.
He said no underwater location would be a satisfactory place to live and that we should stick to looking to the ocean for food, minerals, recreation and research only.
According to Bardach, the cold temperatures and poor visibility would be issues even in nearshore waters. The pressure alone in deeper waters make free diving impossible.
"OK," I thought. "All of that seems fair."
But toward the end of this article, Bardach admits that advancing the idea of underwater habitats would be possible with significant resources.
"If we spent as much money on the project as we do some space exploration, we probably could develop an artificial gill with sufficient surface to enable us to breathe underwater," he said.
He notes that it would likely be large and unwieldy though.
I don't need to tell you how far technology has come since 1966. Bardach made these comments before the moon landing, so the means we have available to us now are obviously leaps and bounds ahead of what he imagined.
The thought of life underwater is interesting, even if we're just talking about science fiction. This article probably jumped out at me because I recently watched "The Martian" during a cross-country flight. (No spoilers, but Matt Damon is trying to survive alone on Mars and tries to grow his own food.) The idea of colonizing Mars is something people talk about today, but the biggest problem is the planet's lack of water sources.
Guess where we wouldn't have that problem? The ocean, duh.
Space is cool and all, but I think it's about time we started shifting some of that money into developing those artificial gills that Bardach mentioned.
After all, there aren't any fish in space.Add a comment Add a comment

Fishermen are a hardworking bunch of people, there's no question about that. Last week, I had the opportunity to see that work ethic first-hand. But I wasn't on a fishing boat. I was at the Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit in Juneau, Alaska.
Add a comment
Add a comment
This conference is put on by the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program and is meant to serve as a comprehensive education program for young fishermen looking to break into the industry or expand their existing operation.
More than 70 fishermen from 30 communities throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest gathered to share their expertise and experiences. This next generation of Alaska's commercial fishing industry discussed and learned about Alaska's role in the U.S. and world market, the management of state and federal fisheries by the government, insurance, debt management and a slew of other must-know topics.
The attendees listened to speakers from prominent organizations and spent the week growing their network across the state. These fishermen might be experts at catching fish in their own fishery, but there's a lot more to running a boat.
While most of the fishermen in attendance were Alaskans, they were from different walks of life. Some were looking for info on how to lease or buy a permit, while others had just purchased their first vessel. Some sought help working on processor relations and others were looking to market directly to consumers in their area and abroad.
The knowledge these young fishermen had about their fisheries and their dedication and passion for the business were inspiring.
The summit was an intense three days and much too complex to sum up here, so look for my feature on the summit in the next issue of National Fisherman!

Have you ever uploaded a family photo or crew shot to Facebook and had the website know who was in the picture? That's their advanced facial recognition software that keeps tabs on our facial features in tagged photos for quick and easy photo sharing.
This software is convenient (albeit a little creepy) and makes sharing or organizing photos much easier.
Now imagine uploading a photo of a whale you took out on your boat last week and having Facebook ask, "Would you like to tag Quasimodo in this photo?"
That's (sort of) what members of the right-whale research community and data scientists have been working on.
Christin Khan, a biologist at NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center is part of a team that flies aerial surveys off the East Coast to look for and track North Atlantic right whales. They track individual whales by their distinct features and help keep tabs on them in the North Atlantic Right Whale Catalog. The catalog includes a page for each tracked whale that includes photos, sketches of identifying marks and any other pertinent biological notes (think your 'about' section on your own profile).
And yes, a lot of the whales have names. Javelin (No. 1112) and Pegleg (No. 1217) were my personal favorites, for the record.
The catalog is very detailed, but identifying a whale can still take up a lot of time using this system. Khan got the idea of creating an algorithm to identify whales after scrolling through her Facebook page one day.
After looking for help in online forums, a team of data scientists created an algorithm that could identify whales with 87 percent accuracy. The software and application for this algorithm has yet to be developed, and Khan is looking for support in the community.
Khan's search for the right supporters was detailed in "Making Facebook for Whales" published in the Atlantic just last week.
I don't think we'll be naming the world's salmon anytime soon, but the amount of collaboration that went into this project is impressive and is a good example of industry innovation. Without having spend long hours digging through the catalog just to identify a whale, researchers can do a bit more research. By streamlining one tedious process, the entire field will be able to work more efficiently.
Also, it might be time to start brainstorming cool whale names in your spare time.Add a comment Add a comment

As a 20-something college student, I didn't start thinking about where my food comes from until recently. Big-name supermarkets seemed like the only option financially and, aside from an occasional trip to the local farmer's market, that's where I bought all of my groceries.
Since I've been working at National Fisherman (and realized that Domino's pizza doesn't count as a well-balanced meal), I've been thinking more about what my food goes through before it winds up on my plate.
This week I spoke with Tyson Fick, the communications director for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, about the recent events regarding Alaska pollock. Now, legally, only pollock from Alaskan waters can be labeled as "Alaska pollock," fighting lower-quality Russian products that wind up on the market bearing the state's name.
As a consumer with little knowledge of the seafood industry prior to being hired at NF, I was a little taken aback. They were allowed to do that? Isn't that lying?
Thankfully, that isn't allowed anymore. But after talking to Fick about this from a marketing perspective, I realized the battle isn't over. He says ASMI is set to work on a few educational campaigns for consumers.
Just because it's easier to pick out Alaska seafood now, doesn't mean consumers are going to be or are thinking about labels at all.
My girlfriend prepared some salmon for dinner last week and I asked her where it was from. "Hannaford," she said. That's one of the biggest supermarket chains in the Northeast.
Just a few weeks ago at a family Christmas party, a little tray of shrimp was plopped down in front of me. The week before I had written a blog post about the Associated Press investigation that traced slave-peeled shrimp from Thailand to the shelves of major U.S. retailers. I didn't want to damper the holiday spirit by discussing slavery, but I couldn't help thinking about it. This is in central Maine, by the way, not fresh-off-the-boat-seafood coastal Maine. If there was any venison at the table, I would've known the deer was probably shot by my neighbor.
There has been a lot of backlash because of that AP report, but not as much as there should be. Seafood Source confirmed yesterday that some U.S. supermarket chains are boycotting Thailand shrimp now. But it sounds like the chain Seafood Source spoke with, left unnamed in the story, chose to do so as a PR precaution, not because of demands from their customers.
The retailer noted that "only two customers asked about the Thai slavery allegations." I think it's safe to assume that the rest of their customers weren't silently protesting and went about buying their shrimp as usual.
Convenience is king in U.S. markets, and consumers can be quick to pick up the first generically labeled seafood product they see most days. The difference in quality and the businesses behind the product may seem obvious to anyone involved in the industry, but the average consumer just doesn't think about it.
Hopefully the Alaska pollock name restrictions and the revealing of Thailand's crueler labor practices means selling more seafood caught by U.S. fishermen. But we can't assume that will happen because of one bill or news story. Be sure to share your expertise whenever you get that chance and make people start thinking about where their seafood comes from.Add a comment Add a comment

For the New Bedford dragger Venture I, trouble started shortly after daybreak on Jan. 9 more than 100 miles south of Nantucket where a winter gale was running them ragged.
The skipper was having a hard time controlling the vessel, when huge waves crashed through the pilothouse. He sustained multiple fractures in his left leg and one of his six crew members received deep cuts on his face from broken glass. The waves continued.
Facing an emergency situation at sea, the crew had to rely on another for survival. While this isn't a rare occurrence on the water, this rescue was anything but typical. The rescuers didn't know the troubled crew, and they weren't from a nearby port. They weren't even American. They were Russians, and this was 1966. Half a world away, America and Russia were opposing forces in the Vietnam War.
Soviet-American cooperation wasn't unheard of on Georges Bank, but this rescue involved an unusual amount of communication and maneuvering.
Without power, lights or radio, the crew were left foundering until the boat was spotted by the 376-foot factory ship Zelenogorsk of the Russian fishing fleet. Capt. Tschist Jakov, after determining that the vessel was in distress, pumped oil to calm the waves and shot a line to the Venture I so the crews could pass messages back and forth in an empty bottle. He took the injured men aboard and arranged for another Russian vessel to tow the Venture I.
Communication was difficult. Through talks with the Russian Embassy and the Coast Guard Commandment in Washington, D.C., a rendezvous was arranged and all of the men were transferred to Coast Guard vessels.
A New Bedford Standard Times editorial said of the rescue: "Everybody here knows that if the men afloat do not help each other, inevitably some will not come back. Thus, the man at the lunch counter the other day asked, 'If they can help each other at sea, why are we at each other's throats in Vietnam and the United Nations?"
The editorial staff wrote that the answer is bigger than the question: "Perhaps it is because politicians, not sailors, run the countries of the world."
The fishing family is strong through thick and thin.
And, of course, as soon as the rescued crew was off their deck, those Russian vessels went right back to fishing.Add a comment Add a comment

Apple now the world's second largest company by market valueApple on Thursday overtook PetroChina Co. in terms of market value, making the Cupertino, Calif., company the second-largest company in the world.
As noted by Bloomberg, Apple is now valued at $265.8 billion, ahead of PetroChina's $265.5 billion. Apple is only behind Exxon-Mobil, the largest company in the world, which had a value of $313.3 billion Thursday.
The milestone was reached thanks to the fact that AAPL stock hit an all-time high, topping $290 at one point during the day. It ended the day up over $1, and the stock has increased a total of 37 percent this year.
In May, Apple's market cap surpassed Microsoft when it hit $222 billion, pushing it ahead of the Redmond, Wash., software giant. That accomplishment made Apple the second-largest American company, behind only Exxon-Mobil.
But Thursday's milestone makes Apple the second-largest company in the world, in terms of market value. Exxon has also been moving up since May, when it had a market capitalization of nearly $280 billion.

Theres going to be
There's going to be rather an abundance of gloating and knife-toothed smiles (as well there should be) among Democrats tonight as people read Mike Allen's piece in Thursday's Post revealing the identity of the person who wrote the infamous Schiavo 'talking points' distributed in the senate last month.
This is the document that called the Schiavo tragi-circus a "a great political issue" and one that "the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating."
Turns out it was the legal counsel to freshman Sen. Martinez (R) of Florida, a former gun-rights lobbyist named Brian Darling. As you might imagine, Darling's now chosen to leave the senator's employ and move on to other opportunities.
I'll let others dig into how many other Republicans knew about the memo, or helped distribute it or whatever else.
To me, though, the folks who really deserve to be tarred and feathered over this are the almost criminally fatuous commentators and reporters who wrote up stories suggesting the memo was actually a dirty trick by the Democrats, a false flag operation meant to make the Republicans look bad.
In politics, anything is possible. And often the most improbable and devilish things turn out to be true. So, sure, anyone could have been the author.
But look at the evidence some folks walked into print with ...
Look, all the Republicans senators say they didn't do it! And if they didn't, who did?
And did you see that the strategy memo wasn't written on RNC letterhead? And you want us to believe it was written by a Republican?
I hope some folks have sense enough to feel like real fools tonight.

The third preseason game is often considered the closest to resembling the regular season NFL teams will come to until contests actually start in September.
With the starters playing into the second half in most cases, snap counts can also give an indication of who is still fighting for a roster spot, who has one wrapped up and who might have played their last game as a Lion against Jacksonville on Friday.
Here's a peek and some analysis on special-teams snap counts. Only players who had more than 10 percent of special-teams snaps (and specialists) are noted:
Ashlee Palmer 14 snaps (70 percent); Travis Lewis 13 snaps (65 percent); Tahir Whitehead 11 snaps (55 percent); Isa Abdul-Quddus 9 snaps (45 percent); George Winn 9 snaps (45 percent); Theo Riddick 8 snaps (40 percent); Don Carey 8 snaps (40 percent); Eric Ebron 7 snaps (35 percent); George Johnson 7 snaps (35 percent); Joseph Fauria 6 snaps (30 percent); Jeremy Ross 6 snaps (30 percent); Bill Bentley 6 snaps (30 percent); Nevin Lawson 6 snaps (30 percent); Don Muhlbach 6 snaps (30 percent); Sam Martin 5 snaps (25 percent); Travis Swanson 5 snaps (25 percent); Darius Slay 5 snaps (25 percent); Cassius Vaughn 5 snaps (25 percent); Rodney Austin 4 snaps (20 percent); Kevin Ogletree 4 snaps (20 percent); Jed Collins 4 snaps (20 percent); Kris Durham 4 snaps (20 percent); Jerome Couplin 4 snaps (20 percent); Julian Stanford 4 snaps (20 percent); Montell Owens 4 snaps (20 percent); Brandon Hepburn 3 snaps (15 percent); Devin Taylor 3 snaps 15 percent); Chad Abram 3 snaps (15 percent); Jordan Thompson 2 snaps (10 percent); Jacob Maxwell 2 snaps (10 percent); Andrew Peacock 2 snaps (10 percent); DeAndre Levy 2 snaps (10 percent); Glover Quin 2 snaps (10 percent); Stephen Tulloch 2 snaps (10 percent); Rashean Mathis 2 snaps (10 percent); Ndamukong Suh 2 snaps (10 percent); Jason Jones 2 snaps (10 percent); C.J. Mosley 2 snaps (10 percent); Giorgio Tavecchio 2 snaps (10 percent); Drew Butler 2 snaps (10 percent); Steven Miller 2 snaps (10 percent); Nate Freese 2 snaps (10 percent).
Analysis: Massive amount of snaps for Palmer and Lewis, both of whom were reserve linebackers Friday night. They are both core special-teams players, so it might be how both end up on the roster. Good sign for Abdul-Quddus as well that he played nine snaps. Neither kicker got many opportunities -- Freese on an extra point and Tavecchio on a missed 51-yard field goal. That George Johnson can play special teams as well could really help his case to make the team. Same with George Winn over Mikel Leshoure if it is close. Right now, though, both Winn and Leshoure seem to be fighting for a roster spot that may not be there.

With one inadvertently scatological gaffe, we're talking about Scottish singer Susan Boyle again.
Her PR team tweeted an announcement that she would be hosting an exclusive listening party for her new album Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage, adding the hashtag #susanalbumparty for good measure.
Once the intended meaning of the hashtag, "Susan Album Party," was misread as "Su's Anal Bum Party" the Twitter world couldn't see it any other way.
And perhaps that was a good thing, as #susanalbumparty trended worldwide and suddenly Susan Boyle was back in the spotlight.
''The official twitter hashtag for Susan Boyle's new release is #susanalbumparty Her social media team are either very naiive or geniuses,'' wrote Phil Stead.
''Be upstanding please for Susan Boyle's PR gurus, who decided the hashtag to promote the launch of her new album would be #susanalbumparty,'' wrote Simon Head.
The tweet from Susan Boyle's official account was later amended to #SusanBoyleAlbumParty.

Aucklanders are encouraged to get rid of all their cyber-scrap in one go on e-day this month.
E-day, on September 12, is a free nationwide computer recycling event expected to divert more than 1000 tonnes of electronic waste from landfills.
This year's Auckland collection will be held at the Wilson carpark on Fanshawe St from 9am to 3pm.
Central Auckland residents can take along and dispose of old PCs, computer peripherals, mobile phones and digital cameras.
Other equipment such as televisions and stereos will not be accepted.
National organiser and chairman of Computer Access New Zealand Laurence Zwimpfer says e-waste is the fastest growing and one of the most challenging waste problems in the world.

Can't beat the locationPosted Feb 19, 2016
Being slopeside can't be beat. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Let me check in early. Room was fine. Nothing great but totally adequate. Nice little breakfast place and a dining room. Good experience overall. I'd go back for sure.

the busiest weekend of the yearPosted Oct 12, 2015
The hotel was nice. Great lobby. Warm atmosphere. The staff was VERY accommodating. It was not mentioned that the bed was a Murphy bed but the room was well appointed with everything in the kitchenette.

Excellent location - nice enough hotelPosted Jul 15, 2013
The staff was very friendly and the hotel is in a great location. However, the facility is somewhat dated though I wouldn't discount staying again.

Great family hotelPosted Aug 25, 2012
Pros: The big pool area was great for our family.
Cons: The pool bar closed at 5:00.
Location: It was off the beaten path, but close to Attitash activity center and Storyland.
We had a one- bedroom which held the four of us nicely. We gave the kids (ages 7 &8) the bedroom so we could hang out in the living area after they were asleep. The Murphy bed was not the most comfortable, but it was fine. We enjoyed the pool area and the tranquility of the property. It is about a mile from the Attitash activity center which surprised us, we thought it was right outside of the hotel property. Overall we had a wonderful three night stay and would go back there again in the future

It was just OKPosted Aug 22, 2012
Pros: The pool was nice and kid friendly. Location for Storyland and Attitash water park was great.
The restaurant had a 40 minute wait to be seated and the kitchen was backed up when you were finally seated. We were told that there was a problem with the staffing. Since they advertise that the kids eat free for dinner and we had spent the day at storyland we were not anxious to find another restaurant. The pool ran out of towels. This was mid August. There is a service charge which either was not advertized or I just missed.

Great location, service and pretty clean.Posted Aug 20, 2012
Pros: Breakfast, balcony, sauna and locatiohn.
Cons: Noisy.
Location: Perfect for our needs. Our activities were planned in the Crawford Notch area.
The hotel was clean and welcoming. The staff was very pleasant. The included breakfast (which was a surprise to me) was delicious. On the down side, the beds were "creaky" and the walls are a bit thin. I believe the people staying above us had to weigh 700 lbs... Also note that the hotel is very popular with families with young children. So, if that is your bag, great! If not, you might be a bit annoyed.

"Great last minute booking!"Posted Sep 7, 2010
If you are looking for a clean and quiet place to stay, you will be pleased. It is just a bit up the road from downtown Conway but worth the ride. The staff was pleasant and the service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the heated outside pool! The only suggestion that we had is that we wish the parking lots were better lit.

Crix more diabetogen than other PI's?
Feb 11, 1998
My friend is on Crix/AZT/3TC since more than 1 year with excellent results (VL under 20 copies, at present 10 copies mesurable and CD4cells about 600), but he becomes diabetic in the last months (sugar pp up to 250 mg%, HBA1c above the upper margine, Triglycerids with empty stomach around 500 mg%; his mother had mild Diabetes).Does it make any sense to switch to Viracept instead of Crix to try out an improval of the diabetic situation?
Response from Dr. Gallant
There simply isn't enough information out there yet to know whether one PI is more likely to cause diabetes than another. I've seen it happen with all of them, so for the time being I would neither choose a PI based on concern over diabetes, nor would I switch for that reason.
