Will be arriving at Domodedovo Airport on Saturday, September 12th. Can't decide whether to take the Aeroexpress or taxi . Our hotel (Hotel Savoy near the Kremiln) said it would only take about 1 hour by taxi. But Moscow's traffic is notorious and doubt it would be that short a trip. On the other hand, If we took the Aeroexpress it would leave us at a Metro stop at which we would have to take the Metro a few stops to our hotel. Lugging our luggage might not be so much fun.
We have been to Moscow before and rode the Metro ourselves. I remember the doors of the trains closing really quickly and suddenly.
Any opinions? If taxi, do you know of a reputable company to reserve one?

Taxi or Aeroexpress from Domodedovo Airport to center of Moscow?

You could always take the Aeroexpress to the station and then take a taxi!
I went via Aeroexpress (quite nice) my last time in Moscow and then Metro, schlepping my suitcase. I did have to get some directions along the way, but I found so many lovely helpful people on that trip. In retrospect, what with jetlag and all, I probably would have done better to do the Aeroexpress and taxi combo, as my apartment was not too easy to find.

Do you know for a fact that there are taxis outside the metro station? Are they metere orr do you have to haggke? Haggling in Russian would be tough to say the keast!

I'm going on the assumption that there are taxi stands outside the major railway stations, but I didn't use Paveletsky station, so I can't guarantee that. (To be honest, TripAdvisor's Moscow forum is probably the best spot to find that out for sure.) Looks like there is an Aeroexpress train-to-taxi hookup available: https://aeroexpress.ru/en/forPassengers/taxi.html
Since I was only in Moscow revisiting for a few days and my apartment was a 10 minute walk from Red Square, I didn't use taxis this time around, but they were omnipresent, for sure! However, I think metered ones are most likely from taxi stands, pre-arranged, or arranged by your hotel.
I would also guess that there's a taxi app for Moscow, but not sure of that. I was pretty much the only person in all of Moscow without a smartphone, I think. (Just FYI, Internet cafes there have gone the way of the dodo, so...take your phone.)

Thanks Amy. I will read your trip reports in the morning.
I would have to call the Russia phone number to get an Aeroexpress plus taxi combo. Wonder how it works as how would we know when we would be arriving at the metro to pick up the taxi waiting for us. BUT, I do think it's something to look into further. So thanks again.

We used LingoTaxi to pre-reserve airport transfers in Russia and it worked out well. You get an English-speaking driver for a pre-arranged price and it gives peace of mind knowing you won't have to juggle luggage in the metro or have to haggle with a Russia over taxi prices when they know you have no other option to get to your hotel.

My concern after landing at Sheremetyevo Airport this past April was similar to yours. I took the Aeroexpress to Belorussky train station. Aeroexpress was easy to navigate.
Upon exiting the station at Belorussky I was surprised to see all traffic stopped and no usual taxi stand. The weather was cold and snowing.
A taxi driver approached me and I asked him the fair to my hotel one Metro station away. It was 1300 rubles. Being tired and confused I agreed. BTW it took nearly 30 minutes to drive to the hotel.
He told me that taking Aeroexpress was quicker than any taxi to the airport.
On departing I used the Metro easily the one stop to Belorussky station.
Report Abuse
mendota98 - Do you remember what time of day you landed and also got to Belorussky?
We would be coming from Domododedovo which is further from Moscow than Sheremetyevo. We could take the aeroexpress to a different metro station and then take a taxi, hopefully if there is one at that station! Did you buy your tickets in advance?
A little concerned about our luggage - getting out of the train. I remember how fast those doors closed!
Report Abuse
My time of arrival was 5:00 PM.
I bought the Aeroexpress ticket at the airport from a nice lady who spoke English.
When you say doors of the train closing quickly, do you mean the Metro? It did not appear to be any quicker or slower than Berlin, London, Paris, NYC, etc. But than it would depend on your amount of luggage.
Report Abuse
mendota - Yes, I do mean the doors on the train. Found they were much faster than here in NYC. Meaning - they happened faster - you had to really rush to get in before they started to close.
Your arriving at 5PM puts you right in the middle of rush hour so I can understand not wanting to take a taxi from the airport.
I'm guessing that the taxi you took once you exited the metro from the Aeroexpress was one of those semi-legal taxis.
From Conde Nast Travler: "Taxi drivers are the worst of the worst in Russia and should never be trusted. There are no taxi meters anywhere. All taxis negotiate (in Russian) what the fare will be before the ride is given. If you don't want to use the metro and don't want to walk, we recommend having your hotel send a car to get you or transfer you. It might cost you $60 for the ride, but it will be safe and comfortable. Never arrive in Russia without a transfer to your hotel, and never take a taxi off the street.
When I am in Russia, I rarely take a taxi and, when I do, it is always a gypsy (unofficial) taxi, and this is something no non-Russian speaker should ever do. A gypsy taxi is a private driver in his own car who stops to give you a ride. You have to negotiate the rate in Russian, and it takes living in Russia to know which cars to get into and which ones not to."

Just order a taxi from the airport via apps - Yandex taxi or Uber. It will cost you around 20$. And it will take about 1 hour without traffic (it depends what time you arrive). If there is a traffic, it will take maybe 30-40 min longer than the aeroexpress + subway or aeroexpress + taxi. Its better to relaz in the car than go crazy with subways and etc.
PS: try not to take taxi drivers from the streets.
Report Abuse
daria - Thanks. Do you mean when we get to the airport in Moscow we should order a taxi at that time? Not sure yet if our phones will work well when we get to Moscow so I think I'd rather order a taxi before we go.

The only part of the Conde Nast advice that is still relevant is not getting into an unofficial taxi, that is never a good idea. The rest of the info seems out of date. I've done the trip from DME many times, sometimes by Aeroexpress + metro from Paveletskaya, other times by official taxi the whole way (have also been dropped at Tulskaya metro station and continued journey to my hotel from there, can be a good idea if there is alot of traffic.)
DME website gives info on the official taxi operators at the airport, do don't need to prebook.
Report Abuse
Odin - When I look at the fees, I don't see taxi rates from the airport to central Moscow. Just airport-airport, within certain districts and names of districts .
These are all flat rate taxis, correct? Is there any tipping expected?

After your landing and luggage pick-up buy local sim-card (pay ~500 RUR and you'll get 3gb + tons of local calls). All you need for that is any identification document. Here are some plans:
Choose whatever and find the corresponding company's shop at DME.
As for taxi, you can either (1) use mob.internet to order UBER/YandexTaxi or (2) make local call to order taxi from particular company.
I recommend the 2nd option, because even locals have troubles finding a particular car. So you will have to contact someone (taxi driver or taxi company), and while using an App you can only contact driver - chances, he speak english are pretty weak, while, big companies like http://mostaxi.ru/en/ or or http://www.nyt.ru/en/ will most probably have english-speaking operators.
Use "meeting point" at the DME, as there is only one meeting point, driver will find you for sure.
Saturday's traffic in Moscow is not so heavy lately, so ~1 hour seems totally reasonable for September, 12.
By the way, considering Aeroexpress fares (500+ RUR per person), 1700 RUR per taxi at Mostaxi/Nexitaxi looks totally fine

Washington, March 27: When India conducted its first nuclear tests on May 18, 1974, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then US ambassador in New Delhi, was asked by President Richard Nixon to meet Indira Gandhi and convey Washingtons severe displeasure.
Indira Gandhi listened to Moynihan in silence, as she often did with visitors. When the official regret was over and done with, Moynihan asked the Prime Minister if he could say something, not as a US diplomat, but as a friend of India. Indira Gandhi nodded.
As Moynihan, who died yesterday at the age of 76, was to recall last year, he told the Prime Minister that in 20 years time, there would be a Mughal general in command in Islamabad, and he would have nuclear weapons and would demand Kashmir back, perhaps Punjab.
He was prophetic. In just over three years, there was a general in Islamabad, and a decade thereafter, that general was, indeed, using nuclear blackmail to demand Kashmir from India and to force the secession of Punjab.
Indira Gandhi broke her silence and told Moynihan that if a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was proposed, which brought everybody in and was not discriminatory, then India would be for it. The world, it would seem, has not changed in three decades.
Among US envoys sent to New Delhis Chanakyapuri, some love India, some hate it. But few are able to leave their tenure entirely behind them. Very often, the stint in New Delhi is cited as one of the centrepieces in their obituary.
Of all the US ambassadors who served in India, Moynihan (1973-75) leaves behind a unique legacy.
His delightfully attractive daughter, Maura, discovered India at the age of 15 when she joined her father at the US embassy residence on Shanti Path. She never tires of telling guests at parties hosted by Indian diplomats here that I find it very hard to be away from India, but I dont have an Indian passport, I dont have Indian citizenship. I would like to have it and if my family and everything was based there, it would be easier to find employment and a permanent stable way to stay in India forever. As the next best option, she spends most of her time in Nepal.
And Moynihans wife, Elizabeth Brennan, an architectural historian, developed a life-long interest in 16th century Mughal architecture in India while she was living in New Delhi.
When India tested nuclear weapons again in 1998, Moynihan was a senator. Few others in this city understood the mind of Raisina Hill as this Democrat who represented New York.
Referring to the US sanctions imposed on India, Moynihan told the Senate: They are not going to be as intimidated by sanctions as we may suppose. This is the first Hindu government in India in perhaps 800 years. We tend to forget that. When we go to visit India, distinguished persons are taken to view the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, India Gate. All those are monuments by conquerors Islamic, then English. It is something we dont notice. They do. And after 50 years of Indian independence, founded by a secular government which denied all those things, there is now a Hindu government and its sensibilities need to be attended to if only as a matter of common sense.

Computable General Equilibrium Model Fiscal Year 2013 Capability Development Report - April 2014
This report documents progress made on continued developments of the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) Computable General Equilibrium Model (NCGEM), developed in fiscal year 2012. In fiscal year 2013, NISAC the treatment of the labor market and tests performed with the model to examine the properties of the solutions computed by the model. To examine these, developers conducted a series of 20 simulations for 20 U.S. States. Each of these simulations compared an economic baseline simulation with an alternative simulation that assumed a 20-percent reduction in overall factor productivity in the manufacturing industries of each State. Differences in the simulation results between the baseline and alternative simulations capture the economic impact of the reduction in factor productivity. While not every State is affected in precisely the same way, the reduction in manufacturing industry productivity negatively affects the manufacturing industries in each State to an extent proportional to the reduction in overall factor productivity. Moreover, overall economic activity decreases when manufacturing sector productivity is reduced. Developers ran two additional simulations: (1) a version of the model for the State of Michigan, with manufacturing divided into two sub-industries (automobile and other vehicle manufacturing as one sub-industry and the rest ofmore »

"Roman Holiday," the 1953 romantic comedy that made Audrey Hepburn a star and won her an Academy Award for Best Actress, is certainly an iconic film now and one of the best movies ever made. But before all the Oscars (the film also won screenplay and costume design) and before giving us Audrey Hepburn the star, there was a young actress making her first "personality test" for the role. And she charmed everyone! And rightfully so!
Thanks to our friends at Huffington Post, we can see the audition that landed Hepburn the role. And she was introduced by no other than Edith Head, yes, Miss Head! Take a look and fall in love with Audrey Hepburn again!

Two movies to choose from this weekend, we have the live-action animated hybrid The Smurfs 2 and the bang bang action of 2 Guns starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington.
In The Smurfs 2, the evil Gargamel (Hank Azaria) returns to wreak havoc once again. This time, he wants to kidnap Smurfette (Katy Perry) so he can know the magical blue secret from Papa Smurf (Jonathan Winters). Neil Patrick Harris also returns as Patrick, the Smurfs human friend, and hes there to help our favorite blue creatures rescue Smurfette. This star-studded extravaganza features the voice work of Christina Ricci (Vexy), J.B. Smoove (Hackus), George Lopez (Grouchy Smurf), and Anton Yelchin (Clumsy Smurf). Even Shaun White, Shaquille ONeal, Jimmy Kimmel, and Mario Lopez join in on the fun.
2 Guns tells the tale of a DEA agent (Washington) and a naval intelligence officer (Wahlberg) who go undercover to infiltrate a drug cartel. But heres the catch neither knew that the other was an agent. Based on the Boom! Studios graphic novels and directed by Baltasar Kormakur, Paula Patton, James Warden, and Bill Paxton complete the cast.
So which one is my pick of the week? Take a look!

Universal has just released the trailer for "Lone Survivor" a U.S. Navy Seals drama starring Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch, Eric Bana, and Emile Hirsch. Now this is from "Battleship" director Peter Berg so tread lightly. But, Berg also gave us the war drama "The Kingdom," and "Friday Night Lights." If "Lone Survivor" is good, then we'll forgive Berg for making us sit through "Battleship."
The studio seems to have high Oscar hopes for the film since it's going to be released on Dec. 27th just in time for awards consideration. "Lone Survivor" will get a wider release in January.
Based on the non-fiction book "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10" by Marcus Luttrell and ghostwriter Patrick Robinson, the narrative takes place in Afghanistan where Luttrell (Wahlberg) and a group of U.S. Navy Seals depart in early July, 2005 for a reconnaissance mission. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. Guess which one is the lone survivor?
Yet, the trailer is actually gripping and makes me want to see the big screen adaptation. Take a look for yourself:

We are hosting a baby shower and our honoree is in love with all things Food Network. The idea we had is to have a pie theme. Savories, sweets and a salad for 25 women. Any caterers or chefs that make PIES? If they happen to be ex-Food Network contestant, that would be even better.
Prefer a single person who would actually show up to the party to cook in the kitchen or simply cater.
We are open to different types of food if there's someone that stands out for you. A good personality or look? This is a lunch-time party in Los Angeles. Budget is $1,000 for 25 women. Buffet-style is most likely given the budget. Hope it's not crass to give a number!
Thank you all in advance!

"Just Like Jesse James" was released as the second single from Cher's 1989 album, Heart of Stone. The single was released in October 1989 and peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
I was in the ninth grade when this song came out, and it grabbed me the very first time I heard it. There's just something about the opening of this song that just grabs the listener's attention and makes you want to listen to it. While it fit in with the music that was being released at that time, it also had a sound that wasn't very common in pop at that time.
I've also always enjoyed the lyrics of the song, especially how much it incorporates images of Wild West bandit Jesse James as well as other phrases and images from the Wild West. To me, "Just Like Jesse James" has really stood the test of time, and it doesn't sound dated. I enjoy this song just as much today as I did when it was being promoted as a single back in late 1989 and early 1990. It's still one of my favorite songs on the Heart of Stone album.
At the time, I never saw a music video for "Just Like Jesse James," because MTV never showed it; so I thought for years that there wasn't a video for the song. I discovered that a music video does indeed exist for it when I found a couple of copies posted on YouTube. It turns out it's nothing terribly spectacular; it basically intercuts footage from the "I Found Someone" music video with clips from Western films. And it also appears that the video uses an edited version of the song that fades out near the bridge.

Sumacs (Rhus spp.) are deciduous shrubs that generally thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 11, although this varies slightly from species to species. They often grow to 15 to 25 feet tall, but some cultivars and fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica) grow to only 2 to 6 feet tall. Sumacs are usually propagated with cuttings, but they can be grown from seeds. The seeds can be purchased or the huge clusters of ripe, bright red berries can be collected from nearby trees in the fall.
1 Soak the ripe berries in water overnight. Scrape them over a screen or sieve to clean the pulp from the seeds. Rinse the seeds under warm water to remove any remaining pulp. Soak freshly cleaned and purchased seeds for 12 to 24 hours in room-temperature water.
2 Combine peat and perlite in equal amounts, and moisten the mixture. Place a 1/2-inch depth of moist mix in a sealable container. Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the mix. Pour another 1/2 inch of moist mix over the seeds. Place them in the refrigerator for three to four months.
3 Remove the seeds from the refrigerator. Fold a piece of sandpaper in half with the grit side facing in. Place a seed between the two sides of sandpaper. Hold the sandpaper with the seed pinched between your finger and thumb, and rub the sandpaper back and forth over the seed about 40 times or until the seed coat is dull but not pitted. Repeat this process with each seed.
4 Sow the seeds in a moistened half and half mixture of sphagnum peat moss and perlite. Use either flats or small containers that are 3 to 4 inches deep with drain holes in the bottom. Press each seed 3/4 inch deep into the moistened mix, and push the mix back over the seed. Space the seeds 1 inch apart.
5 Set the containers in an old aquarium and cover the top to hold in moisture, or put a piece of hard plastic over the flat. Alternately, put the containers into clear plastic bags and seal them. Put them in a bright, sunny area, but do not expose them to direct sunlight. Maintain room temperatures of 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water them gently if the mix begins to dry.
6 Take the cover off the aquarium or flat, or open the tops of the plastic bags after the seeds germinate and the small seedlings are visible. Germination takes two to four weeks. Water them when the top of the mix begins to dry. Transplant them into separate containers with soil-based potting mix when the seedlings are 3 to 4 inches tall.
7 Grow them in containers in bright indirect sunlight until fall. Water them when the top of the soil begins to dry. Each seedling will usually require 1/3 gallon of water twice per week but they may need to be watered more frequently, depending on temperatures and humidity. Transplant them into slightly larger containers if they become root-bound. Set them in direct morning sunlight for gradually longer periods of time in early fall. Reduce the watering frequency gradually to get them used to dryer conditions. Plant them outdoors in mid-autumn.
Items you will need
- Screen or sieve
- Peat
- Perlite
- Sealable container
- Sandpaper
- Flats or small containers
- Aquarium (optional)
- Piece of hard plastic (optional)
- Clear plastic bags (optional)

- Berries from sumacs commonly grown in cultivation are actually edible; however, they are within the same plant family as poison sumacs (Toxicodendron vernix). The berries from Rhus spp. sumacs may be toxic to people who are allergic to poison sumac or any other plants within the cashew plant family. Non-poisonous Rhus spp. have red berries while poison sumacs produce white berries.

Bob Moon: How much do you rely on the opinions of others to decide which products to buy, or which restaurants to try, or which movies to see? Most newspapers have ethical guidelines, so you can be pretty sure a reviewer or their bosses paid for the meal and that they tried their best to be treated as any other diner. But read a review online -- for food, or anything else -- and it's not always clear if there might be a hidden conflict of interest. Do bloggers get paid to say what they say? Did a company send the blogger a free sample in the hopes of a good review? Marketplace's Alisa Roth reports the Federal Trade Commission issued new guidelines today.
ALISA ROTH: Erika Valente reviews beauty products on her blog, Makeup Bag.net. Sometimes she buys the products. And sometimes, the company sends her samples.
ERIKA VALENTE: Let's see, like maybe new fall nail polishes, maybe a face mask, a body wash.
Sometimes her reviews are good. Some of them are pretty ugly. But she doesn't always say where the product comes from. The new FTC guidelines say she'll have to.
Tom Cohn is an attorney at the law firm Venable. He used to work at the FTC.
He says the FTC sees bloggers as endorsers. So the new rules say reviewers have to make it clear what their relationships with the company is.
TOM COHN: For disclosing that material connection, you know, if the blogger is being paid or is being given a free item, that's sort of a direct relationship between the advertiser and the endorser. And the blogger should, in those situations, yeah, he should disclose that he got the item for free or he was paid in exchange for giving his review.
Both bloggers and companies can get into trouble if they don't follow the rules. The FTC won't be able to keep track of every single blog. In fact it says for the most part, it probably won't go after individual reviewers.
But another lawyer, Linda Goldstein, says the new rules will change the ways companies use bloggers and other social media.
LINDA GOLDSTEIN: The impact will be equally significant on the brands themselves who may now have to re-evaluate some of the ways in which they engage that community and use viral marketing as part of their marketing campaign.
Erika Valente says it won't change her blog much. She wrote the blog for more than a year before beauty companies started sending her free stuff.
In New York, I'm Alisa Roth for Marketplace.

SPIEGEL Interview with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev 'Oil and Gas Is Our Drug'
Part 2: 'We Are Still in the Process of Building a Modern Civil Society'
SPIEGEL: The 18 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union actually constitute a relatively short period of time. In a recent article, you described the state of Russian society as being characterized by economic backwardness, deep-seated corruption, the people's unquestioning belief in authority, and a tendency to blame all problems on foreign countries. Perhaps Russia should not always point an accusing finger at others?
Medvedev: We are still in the process of building a modern civil society. Eighteen years ago, we were naïve and many expectations proved to be an illusion. From the political leadership all the way down to local administrations, we are hampered by corruption and a cumbersome bureaucracy. But today we are more mature, we now know better how our country should look and what place it is entitled to.
SPIEGEL: But is Russia really more mature? Your interior minister, Rashid Nurgaliyev, declared in good old Soviet style that he intended to eliminate corruption within a month.
Medvedev: I would hope that the interior minister has a clear idea of how to combat corruption. This certainly cannot be achieved in one month. I also think that he only meant the most grievous offenses in his ministry. Rooting out corruption will keep us busy for years. It also exists elsewhere, but in our country it has taken on particularly repugnant forms. Corruption already existed under the czars and during the Soviet era -- it was just more hidden. Stalin reduced it to a minimum. We have already talked about the means that he used. In 1991, when the political and economic changes began, corruption flourished. Greater freedoms always entail advantages and disadvantages. Civil servants got an opportunity to gain control of cash flows -- they take bribes and personally buy into businesses.
SPIEGEL: How do you intend to effectively combat this scourge?
Medvedev: We have now passed laws that have never existed in the thousand-year history of Russia. We have established a presidential council to combat corruption, and I have called on our civil servants to disclose their income and the income of their family members. They are complying with this now, although they are not particularly pleased.
SPIEGEL: Democracy and the rule of law are also measures of a society's maturity. How far along has your country come in this respect, considering that there were once again quite obvious cases of fraud during the municipal elections in October? And considering all the unsolved murder cases, such as the assassination of journalist Anna Politkovskaya?
Medvedev: You are asking the wrong question. The case of Politkovskaya was thoroughly investigated. I spoke about this with the director of the investigative agency a few days ago.
SPIEGEL: The defendants were acquitted in court.
Medvedev: The investigators are absolutely convinced that their interpretation of events is correct and that they have done everything possible to clear up this crime. The case will go to court again. This is common in criminal proceedings. It does not mean that no investigation took place. The court merely found the arguments of the defense more convincing. That is its right. It is simply not true when you say that the case was not investigated.
SPIEGEL: Let us repeat it once again: There has not been a single final conviction in connection with the many spectacular murders that been committed recently.
Medvedev: Give me other cases. Nullum crimen sine lege, no crime without a law: I can only comment on concrete cases.
SPIEGEL: What about journalist Anastasia Baburova, who was shot and killed in January together with human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov on the streets of Moscow? Or human rights activist Natalya Estemirova, who was abducted in July in Chechnya, and executed the very same day with a number of shots to the head?
Medvedev: Investigations are ongoing in the case of Estemirova. The investigation of the murders of Markelov and Baburova has led to the arrest of two suspects.
SPIEGEL: And the elections in October? In a number of Moscow districts, by the end of the election day, voter turnout had shot up to 90 percent, which is significantly higher than the average for Moscow.
Medvedev: In my view, the elections were conducted in an orderly fashion, which doesn't mean that they were perfect. In Moscow and other cities there were numerous complaints. I have spoken with the heads of the parties. We have agreed that all complaints shall be handled in court. But it is important that all parliamentary parties agree that the final result of the elections accurately reflects, in an overall sense, the balance of power in the country. All the parliamentary groups have suggested that election procedures be improved. I will reflect on this and submit my proposals for improving the electoral system in a message to the nation in the near future.
SPIEGEL: That may be encouraging, but we are more concerned about a climate in which officials find it necessary to give election results a helping hand in the first place. We are thinking primarily of the results of the ruling party, United Russia.
Medvedev: It is the leading political force in our country, but it was also dissatisfied with the results on a number of counts. When an official, out of sympathy for a political party, attempts to help it during elections, he is committing a crime, which is punishable according to our penal code. I think that a number of the proceedings currently being launched by the parties will result in administrative or judicial convictions.
SPIEGEL: In a recent article that you wrote entitled "Go, Russia," you spoke of your country's "humiliating" economic "backwardness." Why hasn't Russia managed to overcome its dependency on natural resources in the time since the end of the Soviet Union?
Medvedev: Because people quickly get addicted to drugs. Trading gas and oil is our drug. People can't get enough of it, even when prices are going through the roof. Five years ago, who could have imagined an oil price of $150 a barrel? Trading in natural resources is easy, it leads to the illusion of economic stability. Money flows in -- considerable sums of money. Acute problems can be effectively resolved with it. You don't need any economic reforms; you don't need to deal with diversifying production. We could rid ourselves of this lethargy if we would only learn the right lessons from the crisis.
SPIEGEL: This doesn't appear to be happening, which is precisely why many Russians are scoffing at their president's criticism of the state of the nation. They see too wide a gap between expectations and reality.
Medvedev: I do in fact have the feeling that many are sitting back again and waiting for more mega-profits. This might go well for a while. But making no money available for investments in industry and agriculture is leading our country nowhere. And this despite the fact that the energy sector experiences revolutions at regular intervals and no one knows whether we will need the same quantities of oil and gas in 2050 as we do today.
SPIEGEL: Since your country has not made progress in modernizing the economy, it has been particularly hard hit by the crisis. This is normally blamed on the government. In such situations, former Russian Presidents Vladimir Putin and Boris Yeltsin always dismissed the prime minister.
Medvedev: Our economy's dependency on natural resources did not arise during Putin's term as president, but rather 40 years ago. It will take a long time to change that. Take a look at a map of Russia, acquaint yourselves with our balance of trade and our export surpluses, take into consideration what social obligations we have -- and then look at how much tax revenue we generate through oil and gas. Then you will understand everything. And, finally, over the past 10 years, the government has not once been dismissed for failing to fulfill its duties.

Heralded as an educator, feminist, social critic, and author, Cooper devoted her entire life to the education and empowerment of African American youth and adults through much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For Cooper, adult education for the African American working poor was a necessary "doctor and unfailing remedy " that would not only lift them from poverty but also prepare unlettered and continuing education adults for the " solid foundations of a more satisfactory and serviceable adjustment to the duties and responsibilities of life ( Johnson, 2009, pg. 45).
Myles Horton was an educator, socialists, and cofounder of the Highlander Folk School, famous for its role in the Civil Rights Movement. Horton was often referred to as the father of the Civil Rights Movement. Some of the greatest African American Leaders were at one time attendees of Highlander. Hundreds of black Southerners were influenced and inspired by Highlander. Horton also worked with a variety of labor unions throughout the South. He played an essential role in several labor movements. Horton believed that education could be used to bring about social change. He also believed that the education process should be placed in the hands and minds of those being educated.

Best Gopro Poles & Selfie sticks – a Buyer's guide
Love 'em or hate em', Go-pro selfie sticks and telescoping poles are here to stay.
Perhaps that group of men and women seated in front of you will distract you from the game but, you have to admit that these tools allow perfect shots from angles that were utterly impossible in the past.
So, rather than getting angry with all the individuals and groups taking advantage of poles and selfie sticks to store their go-pro memories in the best way possible, get yours.
Now that you are onboard, we know that you are wondering about what the best ones would be. Well, we didn't convince you to think about it just to leave you high and dry, here is out pro guide on how to get the best GoPro Pole / selfie stick:
Feature-centered Pole & Tripod
If you are looking for a telescoping go pro pole with many features to make your expeditions even better, then you have to go for the features.
How can you identify these poles? They are the ones which twist, click, and pan. In most cases, they are flexible and offer up to 360 degrees rotation.
One such telescoping pole is the Smatree SmaPole Q3.
It doubles up as a tripod, its high-performanceand versatility make it one of the strongest telescoping poles.
Floating go-pro stick
If you are in the market for a water-friendly telescoping pole or a selfie stick, then, you will not be disappointed. Your GoPro camera and a floating pole such as the GoPole GPE-10 Selfie Stick will make it possible for you to capture all those moments.
It features a 2-stage floating telescoping body that extends from 14 to 24 inches. For this pole to float, it has a fully tightened twist extension which locks well forming a watertight seal. The pole is lightweight but sleek and durable, very comfortable and keeps your phone safe thanks to the wrist strap adjustment.
Go-pro compatibility and Mounts
It won't matter if you bought the best telescoping pole or camera only to find that it is not compatible with your phone or your Gopro Hero camera.
So, the first thing that you'll do when selecting a good selfie stick or extension pole is to ensure that it is compatible, and, not with a single device.
Some sticks like the Selfie World Professional 10-in-1 GoPro Monopod are compatible with almost all phones (Samsung or iPhone) and cameras.
This telescopic pole works with GoPro Hero & Session, GoPro Omni VR 360, Mini camcorders, action cams, sports cameras, digital compacts, iPhones (bonus mount included), iPods, Samsung Galaxy cell phones, and Android smartphones.
It has 'quick extend' release clips that make this pole reach 15 to 47 inches.
The pole should be sturdy to hold your camera or phone in place throughout.
You may want to mount your camera with a ¼ inch -20 tripod thread which is strong and will mount on all GoPro cameras.
The SANDMARC Pole – Float Edition is a Floating gopro stick and one of the most versatile telescoping poles on the market.
This SANDMARK pole has a uni-body design that contributes to its floating. The body is industrial grade lightweight of an airtight plastic material.
Consider a waterproof extension pole
This is an important consideration for all selfie sticks and GoPro poles, especially when diving or taking part in any water sport. The material used should be water resistant.
The GoRad Gear Waterproof Telescoping Extension Pole is a good choice.
It has a sturdy design that is waterproof meaning that you can use this extension pole when taking part in extreme water activities.
The construction material is hard anodized aluminium, and you can trust it.
Though it is a selfie stick, it comes with a GoPro-compatible tripod stand. It extends fast thanks to the twist technology (clockwise collapses and anticlockwise twists prolong the pole).
The Selfie World Professional 10-In-1 GoPro Monopod is also waterproof and easy to use too. It extends and locks in seconds.
The silicone rubber grip, water resistant pole construction material and the nylon bag it comes with make it the perfect outdoor photography essential.
Is the stick easy to use ?
You don't want a selfie stick or a telescoping pole that will take up a long time to get it working.
Moments are fleeting, and if you cannot set up and snap within a few minutes, if not seconds, then you may as well skip buying it. When looking for a selfie stick, consider getting one that has a remote control or an automatic system for snapping photos.
The GoPole GPE-10 EVO 14-24" Floating Extension Pole for GoPro Cameras (Transparent) is our favorite product here, and the best gopro pole overall.
Yes, besides being able to float, it has a Wi-Fi remote clip making it easy for you to use the stick.
Have a look at this video from Gopole:
A selfie stick with a Bluetooth remote shutter such as the Wareway Extending Selfie Stick.
It is a telescopic self-portrait monopod with an adjustable phone holder for your Samsung or iPhone.
These are the selfie sticks that double as telescoping GoPro poles.
The GoPro 3-Way Grip, Arm, Tripod (Official accessory) is a 3-in-1 designed tripod pole for GoPro cameras with a grip, an arm, and a tripod.
Another good example is the above mentionned GoRad Gear Selfie Stick for GoPro Hero Cameras.
It is a lightweight selfie stick made of anodized aluminium and one with an aluminium tube telescoping pole that features a twist locking system.
It extends to between 17 and 40 inches. If you need to take professional or undisturbed shots or even record a video, then a selfie stick that offers more than one use is desirable.
Exactly how much length do you need?
It is important to consider the duration of the pole or the selfie stick especially if concerned with the portability or the range of the shot you need.
Do you go for the long or the short selfie stick or telescoping pole? The best poles extend to 50 inches while others have a minimum height of 12 inches.
How long will your gopro pole last? Can you trust your phone or your GoPro camera on the GoPro pole?
You can tell more about the durability of the selfie stick or telescoping pole by checking the handle and the mount. The use of foam or rubber for handles makes the comfortable and stable.
For the structure, ensure that the pole or the selfie stick has a robust construction with materials like hard anodized aluminium.
Another indicator of durability is the threading of the tripod mount.
A ¼ inch mount with a 20-threaded insert is strong, and it will bear the brunt of the weather without complaining.
Best poles to shoot gopro while scuba diving
Can you use that selfie stick or the telescoping pole in the sea as you swim with the turtles?
What is the maximum depth allowed for the utilisation of that selfie stick under water?
GoPole GPE-10 Floating Extension Pole for GoPro Cameras (Transparent) works well in fresh and salt water withstanding the harsh conditions up to 200ft.
Check the material used in the construction to determine if you should buy it or not. Anodized aluminium is a good start.
There you have it – the primary guide to buying the best GoPro telescoping poles and selfie stick.

Paula Abdul. Neutron Dance. The moonwalk. It's an undisputed fact that dance in the '80s was big. And nothing epitomized this better than the 1983 big-screen flick, Flashdance, starring Jennifer Beals as a small-town steel mill worker by day, exotic dancer by night, with big dreams of attending a prestigious dance academy. And while the movie was met with tepid reception when it was first released, today it holds the coveted status of cult classic and the warmest (sweatiest?) of places in our hearts.
The movie's other legacy was that it inspired an entire generation to don leg warmers, get up on that stage (real or imagined), and discover just how good that feeling is to let your body loose. And while many were even moved to take classes in various dance disciplines like ballet and jazz, the film also taught us moves that don't require technical prowess.
Here are eight such moves you can use every day:
1. The Elaborate Soda Spill
If you're going to be clumsy anyway, why not do it with some flair? Tell the world you're stain-bound and proud of it. When in doubt, go bigger.
2. The Over-Under-Through
Who says your undergarments need to come off last? Defy linear storytelling and start where ever you want.
3. The I've Almost Met My Fitbit Goal
It's the end of your day and you're just shy of your 10,000 steps. Make the last moves of your day simply maniacal.
4. The Implausible Costume Change
Don't rely on your impeccable fashion sense alone. Whether you're in the office or at a party, wow them with a quick-change that logistically doesn't make sense.
5. The Blatant Play With Your Food Flirt
Why leave anything at all to the imagination? Use any food object to entice a possible mate. If the inappropriateness is making you or your party uncomfortable, go further.

6. The All-Inclusive
Whether you're assigning tasks, acknowledging team participation, or passing the blame – spinning and pointing let's everyone know you're all in this together.
7. The I Don't Have Time For a Shower
Being busy is no excuse for proper hygiene. If you don't think you have time for a thorough bathing experience, get creative.
8. The Ultimate Joy
When you simply can't contain your feelings for carbs, punch the sky and kick the ground and let your perm shake free. Oh, what a feeling.
Here's some music to get you started:
Which of these dance moves best captures your life?

Hempstead Town's mercury recycling efforts continue to grow. Since 2009, Hempstead Town has collected nearly 2,000 old thermostats. Taken together with the other mercury which is collected through the program, a couple of hundred pounds of liquid mercury has been diverted from the waste stream for proper disposal. Covanta reminds neighbors that mercury bearing items such as thermostats should not be discarded with everyday solid waste. An average thermostat can contain four grams of mercury, a significant amount that can threaten the environment if not disposed of properly.
Residents can bring their old mercury thermostats to the next S.T.O.P. event on Saturday, March 21st at Eisenhower Park's Parking Field No. 3 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about S.T.O.P. and E-Cycle events, visit Hempstead Town's sanitation webpage online at www.toh.li/sanitation-department or call (516) 378-4210, option 6.
"Hempstead Town's Sanitation Department offers a variety of environmentally friendly programs at convenient times and locations throughout the year," Murray said. "I encourage residents to take part in these programs, and help us in our quest to protect our planet."

Hi-Fi Audio
For millions of consumers worldwide, having a high-quality, high-fidelity music listening experience still matters in the digital era. Cirrus Logic believes that true hi-fi playback should reproduce audio that is as close to the original sound as possible. Hi-fi audio isn't just about specifications. It's more about how it should sound – alive, warm, clear and distortion free. Everything we do in the design of our audio products is done to ensure we don't interfere with the audio experience. That amazing sound is not only captured, it's delivered.
High-Fidelity Audio Legacy
For nearly three decades, Cirrus Logic has built its reputation as audio IC experts. In the early 1990s, through the acquisition of Crystal Semiconductor, the company pioneered the creation of audio converters that helped to spark the digital audio revolution in professional audio and consumer home theater. Cirrus Logic's innovation continues today, with some of the industry's best engineers developing integrated circuits, embedded software and DSP algorithms that drive new generations of high-fidelity products.
Hi-Fi DACs and Headphone Amplifier Design
The design architecture of an audio IC is key to ensuring the quality of the original sound is reproduced as cleanly as possible. Cirrus Logic high-fidelity DACs are designed from the ground up to make a noticeable difference to the listener. Careful filter design and noise robustness ensure the desired audio elements are retained, but without the unwanted effects of digital processing and system design. The same principles apply in headphone amplifier design – if the design of the headphone 'colors' or changes the sound of the audio then it will impact the true recreation of the original source recording. Cirrus Logic takes great care in making sure that all our DACs and headphone amplifier designs deliver audio quality as true to the original source as possible.
Advanced Hi-Fi Filters
"Pre-ringing" is an artificial artifact introduced by digital processing that causes some sounds to be introduced before the real sound occurs. This means the audio isn't as clear or as crisp as it should be. Cirrus Logic has created a number of advanced hi-fi digital filters that can eliminate these effects of the digital world and deliver natural audio sound as it is meant to be heard. Originally created for our highest performance DACs and used in pro-audio systems, these same filters are now available in Cirrus Logic mobile products, which means smartphones, tablets and wearable products can benefit from natural sound too.
Cirrus Logic Hi-Fi Audio for Mobile Devices
With mobile devices and streaming music services now beginning to offer an abundance of high-quality, lossless digital audio content, high-quality audio components such as smart codecs, DACs and headphone amplifiers make all the difference to the user's audio experience. If you're listening to your favorite Pink Floyd single and it sounds like it was recorded in an underwater cavern, you should upgrade to a device featuring audio components from the audio experts at Cirrus Logic.
MasterHIFI and SmartHIFI
MasterHIFI™ describes our highest-standard audio converters – DACs, ADCs and codecs offering supreme performance. SmartHIFI™ products deliver hi-fi audio quality, but have one or more low power audio DSP cores available for low power audio processing. Both MasterHIFI and SmartHIFI products from Cirrus Logic represent the highest standards and industry performance for pristine audio quality.

Is it fair to describe today's youth as the 'gilded generation'? On this week's View from 22 podcast, James Delingpole discusses this week's Spectator cover feature with The Economist's Daniel Knowles. With rising house prices, increasing levels of debts and a highly competitive jobs market, is the notion that the young have never had it so good a myth? Were things better for young people in the 1970s? And will today's young generation witness a fall in living standards, compared to their elders?
James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman also look forward to the general election, which is exactly one year today. At this stage, who is looking most likely to 'win', whether it is another coalition or being the largest party? Do Labour have a right to feel more confident and relaxed? Is there a significant difference between the idealism of Labour and the managerialism of the Conservatives? And is George Osborne looking like a man who is looking ready to loose his job in 12 months?
Plus, Cosmo Landesman and Lara Prendergast debate whether social media is turning us into bores. Is it easier than ever to ignore people who only have inane things to say? Or has the constant need to tell everyone everything spilled over from Twitter into normal conversations?

Altman's work made an instant impact on me. It spoke volumes to me in a voice that is loud and clear to this very day. The worlds he presented on screen were so rich with character and detail that even the lowliest extras seemed to have a story all their own. As such, I always felt immersed in an Altman film, as though I was a participant in the proceedings instead of a mere witness.
In my never-realized dream of becoming a film maker myself, I probably would have aped his style as so many others have attempted to do with varying levels of success. But in doing so, I believe that I would have found my own voice and perhaps spoken to another young neophyte much as myself, probably one who would have said, "Hey pal. You're no Robert Altman."
Regardless of all that, Altman remains in the top three of favorite film directors of all time. Therefore, why not feature a whole weekend of Altman movies for this, my birthday weekend. You will note that both M*A*S*H* and NASHVILLE missing from this list as are THE LONG GOODBYE and SHORT CUTS. They are only so many slots available, folks and as brilliant as I find them, I prefer these five. Hey, POPEYE didn't make the cut either.
Opening night will be BREWSTER MCCLOUD, the long neglected follow-up to M*A*S*H* (another reason for the latter's exclusion: those fucking asterisks). The simple story of a boy who wanted to fly, in this case on a pair of homemade wingsflapping inside of the Houston Astrodome, BREWSTER is so wonderfully off-beat that it is small wonder why it was shunned in its initial release, but amazes me that it hasn't been the cult classic I feel it deserves.
Next up is the Saturday matinee feature, CALIFORNIA SPLIT, Altman's ode to gambling that is a perfect companion piece to Karel Reisz and James Toback's THE GAMBLER released around the same time. While SPLIT is a more light-hearted buddy comedy with the genius pairing of George Segal and Elliott Gould, the two films deliver the same message and had the identical impact on me.
Saturday night is reserved for Altman's great fuck you to Hollywood, THE PLAYER which ironically, kick-started his career into a third act he might have been denied after a decade of one failure after another. But Altman was the Comeback Kid and the community he gleefully spits upon lowered their umbrellas to be soiled by the master as he pulled into the home stretch, galloping all the way.
Sunday afternoon seemed to be as good a place as any for Altman's last classic, GOSFORD PARK, another foray into the realm of murder mysteries. As written by Julian Fellowes, this precursor to DOWNTON ABBEY appeared to be an odd choice for the director, But once this multi-character tale began to unfold, it became all to obvious that Altman was the only director to properly tell it correctly with his distinctive and inimitable style.
Finally, closing night has to be what I consider his masterpiece, what has been termed his revisionist western, MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER. This was the one that clinched it for me. No other film until this point had the look, the feel, the mood of MCCABE. It played right into my emo wheelhouse as a moody dreamer, so mesmerized was I by absolutely everything from Vilmos Zsigmond's groundbreaking cinematography to the entrancing soundtrack filled with the music of Leonard Cohen. I found Warren Beatty to be such a lovable scamp that I could overlook the fact that John McCabe was basically an asshole. But at least he was a charming asshole. And Julie Christie...dear lord in heaven, did I ever have a major crush upon her after this film, the first screen love o' my life since the days of Diana Rigg in THE AVENGERS. It was the magical film that remained nearest to my heart. I took every opportunity to see it whenever I could. One particularly rainy night when I lived in the Bay Area, I took refuge in the Stage Door Theater for a double bill of MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER and JEREMIAH JOHNSON. This had been probably the tenth time I had seen MCCABE since it played at the Bijou in Stockton where I previously worked prior to moving to the Big City and sat through every showing. But the Stage Door presentation this Sunday night (coincidentally enough) was the last on the big screen. It had the same hypnotic effect on me that it did from the very beginning. I left the cinema that night in a melancholy stupor and walked the streets of San Francisco for hours now the rain had ceased, Leornard Cohen's WINTER LADY playing on an endless loop in my head and me living a beautiful dream.
So there you have it.
Thank you, Robert Altman.
And Happy birthday to me.

Tulsa, Oklahoma (PressExposure) January 16, 2012 -- Insurance verification and authorization is a vital part of the medical billing process. It is all about verifying the patient's insurance eligibility and the details including the co-payments, deductibles, co-insurance, patient policy status, effective date, type of plan, claims mailing address, and more.

This might sound crazy but if you want to work in childcare, why don't you do home daycare? You will be able to see your children when it suits you and they will also have playmates if you choose to care when you have them. I know heaps of people who do this and they make good money.
I worked in childcare for 3-4 yrs the government was offering 10 ppl a 12 week payed placement which gave you a look at what the job was like and studying a couple of modules to cert. III in children's services. I got a job with my placement place 3 weeks in and began studying the cert. Anyway rambling. Most places are happy to take on someone who has begun studying as apposed to putting on a trainee because they have to pay for the cert in a traineeship. Also when I was working unqualified to qualified my pay went up just over $1 an hour. And if you are studying and working you can claim it on tax.
22-06-2012 18:05 #13
in the childcare course I did last yeah (though ppp via clink ) there were 16 year olds, 20 year olds, a few mums with primary & high school aged kids and a (youngish) grandma it really is an industry for anyone.

Have you thought about doing an enrolled nurses course? It's 18 months at tafe.
Or a cert 3 in aged care? Not sure how long that course is but mystics no 1 fan has just done one..maybe she will be in to tell you.
22-06-2012 20:17 #15
If you want to do childcare you could just go to TAFE for the next 6 months and do the Cert 3. They should be taking enrollments now or within the next week for next semester.
Once you've finished that you can decide to if you want to do a higher certificate or try and get a job. In childcare it shouldn't be too hard.
I think Vic offers exemptions on course fees like NSW, doesn't it?
I did a cert 3 this semester and only had to pay $53 for the course, another $50 for materials and buy 2 textbooks that cost about $110. I got the education entry payment which was $208 so that covered all those fees.
I got PES which is $60 a fn for FT time study and I got JET which lowered my childcare fees to $1 per day and afterschool care to 30c per day.
If you want to do it definitely start looking into it now otherwise you might miss the cut off for next semester.
22-06-2012 20:22 #16
Hey cass, have you actually thought about what you want to do? I did my aged care coarse through a company that the govt pays for people to do them. My coarse was only a short one and worked out well as i was employeed from doing placement.
I wanted to do aged care for so long but struggled with tafe as DS was much younger. I am in the right industry, just gotta work out the correct path as i have so my options open to me now.
Have a look around in your local papers for different coarses that are offered. Some are free, others you can pay off. Even get your daily paper that has all the jobs listed(ours is saturday)
Originally i thought i would do daycare because there is always work but once i sat down and thought about it more i decided no because i honestly didnt wanna deal with other children and constantly being sick while my immune built up.
Not sure if there is somewhere that can help guide you onto the correct career path for you unless job networks do(i remember doing one years and years ago through one of them) to just give me a slight hint of what could suit me well.
Find something that will let you be you but also once you leave work, you can be mum. Work out your options of what is challenging but interesting, something you wont regret doing.
Think of something that is also family friendly. I can get work with the snap of my fingers but its hard as i dont have people to help all the time with before school drop off as my day shift is meant to start at 6:30am but before school care doesnt open til that time.
By me being able to find the right job for me, i have got many options for the future and plan on doing my RN(not bothering with EEN if i can do without it) but i am stuck being an AIN until DS is at least early teens as the hours are not family friendly at all but none the less, i love it.
Dont take the first thing you can think of, do some research cass and go from there. Nothing worse than being stuck in a job you dont enjoy.

Thanks everyone, I am not entirely sure what I want to do as I haven't worked for a long time, but there are a few free/very cheap short courses I am interested in. One is a business admin one it goes for 18 weeks every second Tuesday and you get a laptop at the end for $50, it would get more foot in the door somewhere. I will look around for childcare courses and talk to Centerlink and see if they can help in someway with fees etc. I wouldn't mind nursing either, grrrrr hard decesions.
Bec, I think daycare is more family friendly for me, I could potentially have N in there with me and for now when the girls aren't living with me I can still see them on weekends.
23-06-2012 11:28 #18
I did a few of those career quiz thingys on the net and they all say I should do something to do with helping others in the community like childcare or nursing or search and rescue or whatever.
One said I should be a housewife though lol

I am starting a course in for weeks .
I am studying certificate 3 in childrens' services, it's a 13 week course, plus 4 weeks placement and first aid. And it's nationally recognised. I only have to pay just over $150 which includes fee, books and a t-shirt which I have to wear to training.
Cannot wait to start and its two days a week so I am hoping to find a part time job somewhere too.

Flushing's Mark Bauman to Run 43rd Consecutive Boston Marathon
Richard Nixon was still President when Mark Bauman ran his first Boston Marathon. The 62-year old from Flushing will toe the starting line in Hopkinton, Massachusetts for the 43rd time on Monday, April 16th. Bauman ran his first Boston marathon in 1970 as a 20-year old college student.
