How safe is Brazil? Do's and don'ts?
September 2009
I plan on spending 3 months in Brazil this summer but am increasingly concerned about safety. I have heard there is hostility and even aggression towwards Americans, and plenty of mugging and violent crime in the big cities. For example if go the beach myself is it crazy to leave my stuff under my towel on the sand whilei swim?? Walking about walking alone at night exploring the city? I also want to drive a car down the coast - is hijacking and bad driving a big problem? Any advice or tips and do's and don'ts much appreciated. Thanks.

The cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are one of the most dangerous cities in South America in terms of mugging, petty theft, etc. I would never walk alone, in the daytime or at night, and would not wear any type of jewelry. In no case should you leave your items unattended anywhere, whether on the beach or anywhere else. If you are spending several months there, hopefully it's at someone's home. They should give you guidance on what you should or should not do while there. If you don't speak Portugese, that's another roadblock. I hope this helps.

Hi there,
I came across your post while browsing the net, I'm am planning to make a 2 - 3 week trip over Argentina and Brazil and was planning to spend 5 days in rio. As a lone female traveller, by reading your comments it seems this isn't too wise?

sorry about the double post...computer problems..

How safe is Brazil? Millions of people travel to brazil and thousands from all over the world for carnaval.
Although crime exists everywhere, it is good to be aware and SMART but not paranoid..
As somebody who grew up in Rio, I never had a problem. Being that I grew up in a favela, I have a little more fears of places like Copacabana because the criminals will look for victims there. They are going to go to tourist areas first because that is where the money is.
But many people have been to Rio and had a wonderful time..so, be aware and smart, but please do not be paranoid...Rio has lots to offer..

Hi there- Re safety cities in Brazil are just like cities anywhere in the world. You have to keep out of dangerous areas like favelas (shanty towns) and you have to be careful with your belongings - particularly flashy jewellery, laptops and large cameras. Outside cities and particlarly when travelling off the beaten track Brazil is actually one of the safest countries to be in. In 30 years travelling here I have never had a problem.
If you want more info on travelling safely in Brazil check out this posting on my blog: http://hiddenpousadasbrazil.blogspot.com/2009/08/25-tips-for-travelling-safely-in-brazil.html

As mentioned before, Brazil is quite safe as long as you stay away from the danger areas, which as far as I am aware are mainly the favelas. In S

one should be concerned with safety
always !
but not necessarily more here in Brazil than in the rest of the world
always the same basic rule (in the whole world) : stay out of the spotlight, do not attract / create any attention
and you will automatically feel a lot safer
I am living in Bahia for 5 years now (www.basix.cc)
and never had major problems, of course I have been robbed, of course the my ship has been burglared but could happen at any place where I went ...

I see that most of the comments here are about Rio. I would like to hear of any experiences in Natal & Fortaleza. Special insights about safety and criminality. I read on a Wiki page about Fortaleza that crime was not only confined to the Favelas, with the tourist areas also a target. What worries me is their murder rate, which was 35 per 100,000 residents (in my country it's 1). Also that car jacking was a big problem.
So any help or experiences???

Most of the comments in this thread area about Rio. I am wondering how safe it is in Fortaleza & Natal. I read in a Wiki article that Fortaleza enjoys a murder rate of 35 per 100,000 residents (in my country it's 1), and car jacking is a problem too. What worried me most is the fact that these problems seems to spill out into the tourist areas too.
So what is the experience of others for these two cities?? And, by the way, I can well appreciate the advise of being careful; don't flash cash or valuables, etc., etc. I'm looking for for people's experience and feelings while they were there. In other words, what was your level of comfort?? Any help or advice would be gratefully accepted.

Hi I was considering going on a volunteer trip to Sao Gabriel, and Manaus, however, safety has become a major concern, can anyone shed some light on these places?
September 2011
I went through all the experiences written here. I felt some what contradictory statements like some people said its safe but some people shared their expereinces of theft etc I am travelling to Sao Paulo in Oct '11, can some help me on the safety on individual travelling and where I can spend the weekend at a cheaper cost? Since I am an Indian I am a pure vegetarian (DONT EAT MEAT) can some help if i get a good vegetarian/Indian restaurants?

No worries, Sydney/AU is also a dangerous place to live. If you want to go to a safe place, go to Debrecen / Hungary, here nothing happens, but it is very safe.

You find violence anywhere you go, just be smart and you wont have troubles...but take necessary care with your stuffs. Brazil is as safe as Paris, London or New York. Otherwise, you still have the option to do not come !

Everywhere is safe if you walk in the light !
Most murder cases in Brazil are related to consumption of drugs.
Those who walk in the light will have no problem, even in slums.
I am sure 99% of people in slums are simple and honest workers.
It is simple, pay attention to your belongs and stay in the light.

Have fun in 2014! Because that will be an insane year to go, im sure the thieves will be going out like crazy. BUT that does not mean u need to act crazy. I have been to brazil once and it was the most amazing time of my life. i am going again in summer. Here are some general tips: brazilians are incredibly friendly, they will all say hello and give u kisses, dont be shy. u will notice, clothing is laid back, and there is very little of it. DO NOT OVER-DRESS. that will scream tourist. especially with tons of jewelry (bad idea) this is a time to relax, so dress relaxed. When I go, I am with people who live in Brazil, so luckily, I am the only tourist-loking person in the group. It is a good idea to not put out there that u are american. not saying u have to keep your mouth shut, but don't put it all out there. Just face it, any1 can get mugged anywhere in this world...so basically dont be stupid. U should NOT walk alone at dark. EVER. even be cautious in small groups. Most people take taxis and the bus in the evening. Avoid sketchy places, dont go anywhere near what are called "favela" aka. the ghetto slums. Fantastic places are: Buzios, Rio, Copacabana, and Impanema. they are always busy places as well. WONDERFUL food, shopping and sight seeing. Just sitting on the beach is like being in a postcard. Just make sure u talk to your children clearly about the trip telling them never to talk to strangers, and to keep an eye on one another. as always. The places I listed previously are great. u will love all of them. this will be a trip of a life time. I am hoping to go that year as well if i can afford it! just be smart, have fun, dont carry many valuables, (don't have too much cash on u ever) take only as much as u will need for each day. no jewelry. obviously dont wear clothing that has like american flags on it haha. people love to talk to americans because many brazilians wish to be us. they look at us like WOWWWWWW UR SO COOL (not kidding) so they may be a bit infatuated. just make sure if they seem sketchy u remain nice and leave. I dont mean to scare u but seriously it is heaven. and worst case scenario, if u do get mugged, give them the money. they will become violent if u fight back. valuables are better off stolen than you. i spent 2 months there and nothing bad happend, i didnt meet any weird people at all, no violence. didnt even see any crimes happen. honestly im sure nothing will happen.
just dont go alone at night
stay in populated places at night
dress laid back
keep that u r american on the down lo (some people say they dont like americans, that is not true, they are obsessed with us. they may even ask funny questions, like "do u really have this there?) the only ones who "dont like" us is the thieves because they think all americans are rich spoiled...theyre basically jealous.
dont let your children talk to strangers, make sure they are well behaved enough to listen to u...if it was me i would start talking to them about 6 months before the trip, telling them cool facts about brazil, such as they dont speak english, etc. so they can get a gist of what it will be like. and go over safety rules with them...like no talking to strangers, etc. u should make a code word if anything happens.
April 2012
if u have more questions feel free to ask.
sorry 4 the essay!
May 2012
I'm sorry jbsdhibcd, but brazilians never wanted to be "american" as all of us who were born in AMERICA south or north will always be american... anyway... you had a wrong point of view saying that brazilians wants to be like noth americans. Brazil could be quite safe if you take some nice care such explained above, you just got to be smart and your trip will be amazing. Hope you have a great one down in Brazil.
PS: if i could i would love to buy a house there.

Almost everyone I know who's been to Barcelona has been mugged but I was not given a second look by the locals. My simple advice is just don't look too much like a tourist. Walk with confidence and purpose and dont have big expensive cameras dangling on your shoulder. Most 'street hustlers' are north african and any who would begin to approach were met with 'Lo Shokram' which is Arabic for 'no thanks'.
The only time I had a scary encounter was in Marrakesh when a group of teenagers started following me then eventually surrounded me. When their demand for money wasn't met I simply shouted very loudly at them and they backed off. I suppose it's all about calling their bluff. If you start to show weakness, people will exploit it.
July 2012
jbsdhibcd....your the reason why americans are hated when they travel with that attitude. Absolutly horrible thinking....no they don't think your to cool...you think your to cool. obssessed they are, are u half mental? Most Countries travel and get love cause we don't think with a mentality of bullshit. I've been everywhere. You say don't where the red white and blue in brazil. Your ego spits it brother. From a canadian with love for americans and all. Happy travels guys!

I've also had experiences in my travels where locals were very excited and inquisitive about meeting an American. It tends to happen more in areas that get little tourist traffic, but I think the same feeling applies to meeting a person from any country for the first time... just like I was very interested the first time I met someone from Ecuador. We're all curious about the world:-)
August 2012
I am traveling to Brazil (Divinopolis Minas Gerais) and curious about its safety! Any experiences anyone? Your comments are very appreciated. Thanks so much!
September 2012
Brazil is safe for travel.you can travel and enjoy the trip without any problem.
February 2013
Go to Brazil at your own peril...be it be robbed, tortured, killed or raped.
Play with fire and you will soon get burnt.
Women travelers who get raped in spite of the warnings...people who get mugged and hurt in spite of the warnings must not whinge about being victimised. They must be secretly seeking it.
Brazil may be a nice place but I do not like the fact how I'm, probability-speaking, going to be violated while I'm there.
No thanks!! There are so many other beautiful places around the world where being harmed is not as (almost) guaranteed as in Brazil.
And yeah, funny how it seems those here who try to downplay the situation and even encourage people not to be too concerned are like barkers for the muggers, rapists and killers.

What a negative view! And utter nonsense. I have many (female) friends who have both lived and travelled in Brazil and found the country warm and wonderful.
As a South African especially, I can say that there will always be doomsayers bent on destroying a country's reputation entirely, while completely ignoring the best parts of it.
February 2013
Poor Bert.
I've heard in Thailand, keeping your belongings in your hotel/hostel to avoid being robbed on the beach results in... your hotel room being robbed. Having heard this story, I never know where I should keep my money/passport. Better on my person or locked up somewhere? It sounds paranoid, but it's hard to know such things before u get there hey? I am guessing it is nothing like this in Brazil?
As for the oh-so-cool Americans, there is some fascination because of your overrepresentation on TV. But arrogance is the thing that bothers people. Pay attention to the local culture, simmer down and try to follow the rules of the space. The one thing I noticed that really frustrates me is how loud they insist on speaking. It's worse when they feel their liberal rules of discussion subjects which might be sensitive in the local country, out loud just because hey it's ok in America. U have to play by the local rules, that's why you are travelling. U don't have to pretend to be somebody else, just pay attention and don't be too stubborn abt doing things your way. Not all Americans are like that of course, this is just the most obvious/common bad trait that we come across. So just keep that in mind.

Im an American from California, and I have traveled to Brazil various times over the years, to São Paulo, Rio, Bahia, Paraty, Parana, Porto Alegre, among other places. Generally speaking, you need to watch yourself anywhere you go in Brazil. Always stay aware of your surroundings, day or night, inside or out. Now, some regions are more dangerous than others. The city that I really felt this the most was in Sao Paulo. Honestly, São Paulo is very dangerous, even in the best neighborhoods like Jardins, where I always stayed in the finest hotels. Unless you have local friends to drive you around to clubs, restaurants, etc, you will be in your hotel, in a taxi, and at your final destinations, and thats it! Its isnt safe to walk around too much on your own in Sao Paulo. Its so easy to get mugged there. If youre with a group of locals walking around, thats a different story. Your friends will keep the muggers away, just by being locals. But a lot of crazy things happen in São Paulo: fancy restaurants getting robbed, with all customers being robbed at gunpoint, express kidnappings (where one is forced to withdraw cash from an atm), credit card numbers being stolen by workers in stores, among other things. In fact, I really dont recommend staying in Sao Paulo for more than 3 or 4 days. There are much nicer places in Brazil to see. However, like I said, crime is everywhere in Brazil, so even in the most remote and picturesque places, you need to always be on guard. Trust me, you need to.
Make sure that at EVERY HOTEL that you stay at, that it as a cofre, or safe (to store valuables, money, passport, etc) IN THE HOTEL ROOM. If the hotel does not have a lockable safe in the room, do not stay there. Some hotels only have a safe at the front desk reception area; stay away from these hotels!

How cute that there are people who think Brazil is as safe as Paris or New York! I've been all over Europe and I've been to Brazil. I feel safer driving through Oakland at night than I do in the daytime in Brazil.
Brazil IS extremely dangerous, in many ways. Call the police or an ambulance there for an energency, and it could take them up to 45 minutes before they arrive. Oh, and watch out for dangling live electric wires left unattended by the electric company: a cousin of mine who lives in Recife was electrocuted and killed this last Tuesday while walking his dog when a broken wire fell on him. Muggings of tourists are commonplace in all big cities in Brazil...and while you might get pickpocketed in tourist spots in Paris, Barcelona, and (maybe) in New York, Brazil is different in that in Rio, Recife, Fortaleza or São Paulo they won't just pickpocket you...they may just put a knife or other sharp object like a shard of glass up to your neck and demand all your money and jewelry. Watch your camera...or better yet, don't take it out to take pictures unless you are with a tour guide in a large group who says it is ok.(We don't have to worry about that in New York, Barcelona, Rome, or Paris).
Be careful crossing the street. Oh, and don't think a red light will keep cars from running you over in a crosswalk. RUN across the street. Cars have the right of way. (We don't have to worry about that in New York, Barcelona, Rome, or Paris).And watch out for drive-by shootings and stray bullets in places like São Paulo and Rio. (We don't have to worry about that in New York, Barcelona, Rome, or Paris).
At night, drivers in cities like Recife won't remain waiting stopped at a red light if there is no on-coming cross traffic...they will stop and then go, running the red light. Why? Because sitting at a red light at night in most cities is much too dangerous and one risks getting mugged (thieves have been known to come up to car windows and point a gun at the driver)...(We don't have to worry about that in New York, Barcelona, Rome, or Paris).
Unless you are staying with a local, Brazil is best visited on an organized tour. Unlike Florence, Tokyo, Paris, San Francisco, Rome, and New York, Brazil is no place for a foreigner to visit on his/her own...there are very few cities there where the average tourist can just leave the hotel and go "exploring"...I was born there and speak Portuguese fluently (but have lived here in California most of my life and am very thankful for that), and I won't go out by myself when I am there visiting family.
If you MUST go to Brazil, either stay with locals (if you know any) or go on an organized tour....otherwise, the world has many other equallly (if not more) beautiful places to see which are also much safer
July 2013
I want to ask a question here?? Is that true that Brazil are violence area... Actually i am moving Brazil in this month north and Even I Order
to pack or move my all accessories for moving to my new address... Is this safe for me and my family or not give me advice?????
August 2013
Hello Everyone! Brazil is one of the best places in the world to visit. As for safety, its all about your city and your neighborhood, just like any other country. Mooca, for example, is a very safe neighborhood in São Paulo, even for foreigners.
December 2013
Safety is much depending on yourself.
Here in Salvador da Bahia for example one needs to be as discrete as possible, in other words : do not show off in any possible way and you'll be pretty safe.
Also : do not walk where you are having doubts, in case of doubts just take a guide.

OK, it looks that the main doubts about Brazil concern to safety, that's right?
Starting with the good news, Brazil is gifted with a very extensive coast where beautiful beaches excel. In addition to the sea shore, it is rewarding traveling to places like Iguaçu Falls, Pantanal, Amazon, and many other attractions deserving a stay. This is all to say that if safety real matters, one can find worthwhile touristic spots skipping big cities like Rio, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Recife, to mention places where the odds to face mugging are unfavourable, even though these areas are visited by lots of foreigners who have felt unbothered all the time. In the nice state of Santa Catarina it is possible to find beaches and nature as beautiful as those in Rio or in the northeast, and there one can enjoy the trip with much less concerns. The islands of Fernando de Noronha are environmental protected and far away from mainland, therefore their maritim treasures can be explored peacefully.
Now the bad news. Rio has been considered one of the most wonderful cities in Earth, with breathtaking landscapes from its mountains, wilderness, beaches, not to mention the beauty of the girls sunbathing in Ipanema beach. Although crime may ocurr everywhere in town, and having fearful figures about that, it would be a pity preventing oneself to be indulged in this unique place, provided that rules and advices are followed. Sao Paulo is the brazilian powerhouse, and the main finantial center. It is a big city, ugly at first sight, but very sophisticated, with a broad array of restaurants, clubs, music halls, theaters, and imposing malls, but very unsafe to hanging out far from the most populated areas; it is not surprising that luxury shopping is conveniently located into its flourish net of malls, where people fill safer than anywhere in town.
To summarize, even with all the drawbacks Brazil is a touristic destination to be seriously taken into account, for those who want to experience the tropical atmosphere, multicultured and ethnic diverse population, who is friendly and nice with people coming from abroad, and to make their best to network even with their lack of ability to speak other tongues but portuguese

Hello everyone!
I lived in Brazil for 16 years, I'm 33 now. I'm half Brazilian and half Polish. Well, definitely Brazil in not a safe country. Off course there is a normal life going on there. I mean in Brazil a lot of people never got in touch the local violence and they are living a normal life. I was robbed already 3 times in Brazil. The last time my house was robbed by a group of fully armed trollers. I was inside in my house with my mother and 3 more people. They closed us in my room, got everything they could and left. The Police couldn't do to much and to be honest the Police does not care that much about violence, cause this is common here for them and they are kinda involved in all this sh...t. So, it is not easy to live in Brazil for longer. But if you want to travel, visit then this is a totally different story
I would always recommend Brazil for everyone. This is just the best place to travel. You just need to avoid to travel without plan in Brazil. Is better to book all your tickets, hostel or hotel before travelling to Brazil. You can use a very well known and safe website: www.queropassagem.com.br. They have the English version also and you can write them to help you with your plan. Well, off course try to find as much information about Brazil, maps, local city tips and may try to find some Brazilian friends on facebook. You know, the more you search you can travel better and safe!
March 9
Well, do you know how many people were murdered in Brazil along 2012? 52.000 people! Do you know how many murders were not officialy registered? about 8.600. So there were about 60.000 murders just in a single year. I hope you can have an idea of how safe is Brazil! Ah, take this tip: take care with pickpockets in the streets. These criminals are usually teens and here they are not punished by laws. Yeah, you´ve read right: criminals teens are not punished by brazilian laws. At the most, I wish God protect you in Brazil!
March 17
Not safe at all. I´m brazilian and don´t feel safe here. 2014 is the worst year to come here. Do not come.
If you HAVE to come, stay in contact with local friends before coming. Women please, do not travel alone. I wish lucky to you all, God bless you.
March 18
I also thought that South America is generally dangerous but recently I had a couple of friends staying in Colombia for a year. According to them it is not that dangerouos if you know where to go and where don't. Of course, it is highly probable that you will be shot while visiting some particulary danegerous neighbourhoods but still, it is possible for two young ladies to survive a year without any particular harm;)
April 16
I'm brazilian, i've been traveling to many countries, Brazil is by far the most dangerous place i know. We have beautiful places, but you want to come, take care, mainly in big cities, criminals are really cruel and evil, they kill for no reason.
Never walk or drive alone during the night.
The south is safer, clean, and beautiful, people are polite and educated, but during the winter (may to august) its cold, but can be even better in the mountains.
Brazil is not just soccer, sex and carnival, in the south we have a wonderful beaches, mountains and amazing and safety cities.
Rio is really beautiful, but if i were you i will to another and safety place.
April 23
Now a days cities like Fortaleza, Recife, Natal and Maceio are more dangerous then Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, due to the low education level.
April 23
I'm actually from Rio but I have a friend who lives in the area. And I
guess you'll be as safe there as anywhere. But don't worry too much
about you safeness. Brazil is really not as dangerous as it's pictured.
April 24
Generally Brazilians don't wear anything that shows wealth. This includes expensive watches, trainers, handbags and phones. You should do the same. Also, make sure you don't carry a lot of money on you, just enough for the day. I wouldn't recommend taking the bus at night. It is safer to take a taxi. Do leave your documents, including your passport at the hotel or in a safe place. Carrying a copy of your I.D should be okay.
I've written a blog post about this
May 30
I am completely agreed to Kattyfluentglobe 'While in Roam do the Roman's'. Your safety almost depends upon you how you show yourself among the others. Showing your richness may lead you to danger. So Enjoy very wisely.
October 16
being a young girl traveler, i wanted to know if the city chapeco is safe?
and any important things that i should keep in mind while travelling.

|Hi, (this is cross posted from "vines" which doesn't seem to be too active.)
Just received my Wisteria macrostachya 'Blue Moon' from Wayside Gardens, and am wondering what I was thinking now that I've learned about the potential size of wisterias. I was planning to grow it along a front post of the front entryway (a sturdy 3 foot porch overhang, rising to just below the second story) but am concerned it will take over the structure.
My other option is along the wall of our 1920s garage (a structure not used for cars anymore.) Will it need to be staked to climb a wall? Other parts of the gardens or fences are too shady.
Thanks for any ideas..... I'm feeling paranoid about planting it where it can take over the world--or at least my world.

|Wisteria doesn't have to be the thug that it most often is written up to be. The key is in the pruning, which also gets you more flowers. And the flowers are beautiful.
There is a great video on correctly pruning wisteria at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvmgNSWoPgY
Here is a link that might be useful: Pruning wisteria
|If the garage is attached to the house and you do not keep up with the pruning it will cover the garage and move on to the house in 5 years. Yes it can be controlled if you are vigilant with pruning every year. If there are trees nearby it can reach out from the top of the garage and start climbing into them too. So the key is to be very careful where you site it, and if you let it climb up onto anything know that it will keep going!

|We took down our old metal awning support this year. We had grown wisteria on the awning support (patio sized 10 x 12') for 15 years. Apparently patio sized awnings were hip in the 1970s when our rancher was built. The awning supports were very sturdy: my 200 lb. teenage boys can swing on them without bending. The wisteria trunks were 8-12 inches in diameter after 15 years.
During the summer months, if it rained, the wisteria had to be trimmed every two weeks. Each trimming filled two trash cans (you can't compost it). It grew up under the roof shingles in a week if we didn't keep it cut far back from the house. I pruned according to the literature and got flowers for three different years out of the 15 years. Still don't know why it flowered or why not. This year we replaced the old awning supports and wisteria with a wooden pergola and we don't miss it!
I do have three sprouts that survived on my swap list if anyone wants a vigorous twining climber! They are about five feet tall at this point.

|Wisteria macrostachya 'Blue Moon' is much less agressive than the asian wisteria. It is only supposed to get about 15-20 feet rather than the 30-40 etc.

|Wow, I'm even more paranoid now. The garage is detached and about 15 feet from the nearest trees. But I don't want to be pruning every couple of weeks. (and Kimka, thanks for the great links on that.)
Now I'm thinking I could put this in a community garden we work on. It's an isolated triangle in the middle of two streets. Full sun. But there would be nothing to for it to climb on....so I guess that wouldn't work.
I'm regretting spending the $30 for the plant now!

|chriskelly, but you bought the blue moon type, it's not as aggressive. you'll probably be ok.

|I very highly recommend 'Blue Moon'. I had 5 oriental wisterias die this winter due to a warm October and -20 degree temperatures around Thanksgiving. Apparently the oriental varieties weren't quite dormant enough to withstand the drop in temperatures so soon. My 'Blue Moon' wisterias (4 of them) came through winter with no die back whatsoever. They will always bloom despite cold winters, since they bloom on new wood. They are about to bloom next week (they are 2-3 weeks behind because of the cool, wet Spring). 'Blue Moon' is not any more agressive than a climbing rose. I love them! I have two of them climbing over an arbor bench, and there's nothing more beautiful than seeing their flowers hanging down over the arbor.
|archtropical - Very little is aggressive in your zone 4 compared to the warmer climates of this area. You probably didn't realize you were in Mid Atlantic forum?
- Posted by arctictropical Z4 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 11 at 12:49
|Hi Cynthia. Yes, I realized I was in the Mid Atlantic forum. I just wanted to let others know how wonderful 'Blue Moon' is. I've seen aggressive wisteria in my area. My largest Chinese wisteria is finally sending out a few new branches, so it did not totally die after all. I keep my oriental wisteria pruned back every year. Otherwise I can see that it could possibly take off the roof of my garden shed. It has a fairly good sized trunk, even in zone 4.

I have been using the standard turkey fryer burners for my AG brews. I have an opportunity to pick up some of the Blichmann burners cheap and wonder how they compare to a standard burner. My biggest hope is that they are in fact safer because they have a mechanism to hold the brew pot in place. For those of you who have used them would you recommend them? Why?
FWIW, I did do a search and found some awesome threads on this topic but for some reason when I click on the link to the thread the browser just locks up. Probably a problem on my end...
Is there any way to delete this post? I found a way to access all the other threads that cover this issue. Thanks for your patience. I'm an idiot (and I love cider!)

US expelling 3 Venezuelan diplomats
The United States has expelled three Venezuelan diplomats in response to similar action against three U.S. consular officials in Caracas.
Associated Press
The United States has expelled three Venezuelan diplomats in response to similar action against three U.S. consular officials in Caracas.
Venezuelan envoys First Secretary Ignacio Luis Cajal Avalos, First Secretary Victor Manuel Pisani Azpurua and Second Secretary Marcos Jose Garcia Figueredo, were given 48 hours to leave the U.S., State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday.
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro expelled three U.S. diplomats from Caracas on Feb. 17, saying they were supporting opposition plots to overthrow him.
White House spokesman Jay Carney took offense and said what is happening in Venezuela is an issue between Maduro and his people, not between Venezuela and the U.S.
"President Maduro needs to focus on addressing the legitimate grievances of the Venezuelan people through meaningful dialogue with them, not through dialogue with the United States," Carney said. "Despite what the Venezuelan government would like to lead people to believe, this is not a U.S.-Venezuela issue. It is an issue between Venezuela and its people."
"We've been clear all along that the future of Venezuela is for the Venezuelan people to decide," Carney said.
The State Department's Psaki cited U.S. concerns about Venezuela's record on human rights and support for democracy, but said Washington remains open to a diplomatic relationship with Maduro. But she said Venezuela "needs to show seriousness" for the U.S. to move forward with that process.
"Recent actions, including expelling three of our diplomats, continue to make that difficult," Psaki said.
The two countries have not exchanged ambassadors since 2010, though they have maintained embassies.
This month, Venezuelan opponents of Maduro have been staging countrywide protests that the government says have left at least 15 people dead and wounded about 150. Authorities have detained 579 people, of whom 45, including nine police officers and members of the National Guard, remain in custody.
Though violent protests have died down, the situation in Venezuela remains tense. Opposition protesters erected barricades to block traffic on major streets in Caracas and elsewhere Monday but there were no major clashes.
Hours after Washington's announcement, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua announced Maximilien Sanchez Arvelaiz as the country's new ambassador to the U.S. He had recently been Venezuela's envoy to Brazil.
Jaua said he proposed Sanchez as a sign of his willingness to engage in "the highest-level" relations with the United States, but added that Washington must halt what he considers to be U.S. "intervention toward Venezuela."

Quentin feels he is close to being on pace for Opening Day
Outfielder Jose Dore was traded to the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations while right-handed pitcher Eddie Kunz was one of 12 players released from an over-stocked system.
Kunz is notable because he came to the Padres from the Mets in a 2011 trade of former high draft choices who didn't pan out. Kunz, the 42nd overall pick of the 2007 draft by the Mets, was 6-6 last year with a combined 5.77 ERA between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Tucson. The Padres sent Allan Dykstra, the 23rd overall pick in the 2008 draft, to the Mets for Kunz.
Sick feeling
--The flu bug is now following injuries through the Padres clubhouse. Catcher Nick Hundley and outfielder Chris Denorfia were sent home early Wednesday and several other players were ill.

A writer joins hordes of farmers and tourists for a once-every-three-years look at Joel Salatin's pioneering "grass-farming" operation
Two weeks ago, I joined about 1,700 farmers, foodies, and families from across the U.S. for a pilgrimage to Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm, home of his iconic model of local, sustainable agriculture.
Salatin, the high priest of "grass-farming," as he defines his work, hosts a field day every three years on his 550-acre spread in Swope, Virginia, in the hills of the Shenandoah Valley. Visitors have come from as far away as Florida and Iowa to trudge through the thick, soft pastures and see how Salatin raises cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, and poultry. It is a brilliant sunny day, warm already at 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
Walking up a gentle slope, we come upon a herd of cows "mobbed" under a shady canopy, nibbling grass and depositing patties of natural fertilizer in the acre-or-so where they have been herded for the day. Tomorrow the white plastic electric fence—so thin it is hard to see in the brilliant sunlight—will be moved, the cows transferred to a new paddock so they can feast on a fresh "salad bar." Nearby, the chickens, in their big, floorless, corrugated tin-and-mesh mobile playpens are pecking at the cow patties left by the previous day's mob, picking out the fly larvae, aiding the composting process. Like so much on the farm, it is a virtuous cycle, the cows and chickens working together to create the rich soil, grass, and insect ecosystem.
We cross over to a glen, where the pasture meets the forest: at about 400 acres, forest covers most of the property, which now supports three generations of Salatins, including Lucille, Joel's widowed mother, who bought the land with her husband, William, in 1961. Here, more high-tech, hard-to-see fencing contains a herd of pigs, who are snuffling as they search for acorns, hickory nuts, grubs, and worms. "They disturb it, churn it up," explains Salatin, for whom "disturbance" is the key to fertility and regeneration.
It is also a good way to describe the mission of Salatin, who describes himself as a "Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-lunatic farmer"—one who rails against industrial agriculture and government, and proselytizes about reconnecting consumers and farmers. ("Polyface doesn't participate in government programs," has no mortgage, and eschews organic certification, says Salatin, a former journalist whose new book, Folks, This Ain't Normal, is coming out this fall.)
On Polyface, it's the pigs that best embody Salatin's ideas of creative disturbance, as well as his holistic, waste-not-want-not management approach. As Salatin sees it, pigs have a plough at the end of their noses and a sign on their foreheads that reads "will work for corn,"—traits that make them ideal for mimicking the buffalo that once marauded through the area, turning the soil and creating fertile pastures. Like the cows, the pigs are rotated regularly. No paddock is occupied more than once per year, allowing the forest to regenerate.
Up the hill is the "pigaerator," a key to why Polyface requires no chemical fertilizer or seed. We crowd beneath the tall metal-and-plastic canopy of an open-air barn-like structure—like many Polyface constructions, it was built of rough-hewn local oak and rot-resistant locust trunks. The pigaerator is actually a cattle-feeding station: one side is piled high with hay; the other side contains troughs on vertical chains with pulleys.
During the winter, when the grass disappears, the cows eat hay at the feeding station, depositing tons of manure and urine on a "giant carbon diaper" of hay, wood chips, and saw dust. Instead of mucking out the shed, the Salatins layer more bedding on top, adding corn into the mix. The cows stamp out the oxygen. The corn ferments. By March, the bedding pack can reach as high as 4 feet, raising the floor of the shed along with the cows—hence the pulleys.
In the early spring, when the cows return to pasture, the pigs move into the shed, digging for fermented corn and, in the process, aerating the bedding. In lieu of the giant machines used in windrow composting, Salatin relies on low-cost pig power to create natural fertilizer to feed the land. There is no manure-related pollution. No smell. No disease. No costly fertilizer.
One of the most striking things about the Polyface operation is its remarkable cleanliness. There are relatively few flies or mosquitoes—a surprise, considering the hundreds of grazing and pecking animals. Nor are there any obnoxious odors.
Best of all, Salatin says, his system lets animals roam relatively freely and behave as nature intended them to. It "fully honors the pigness of the pig."
As he does frequently during the tour, Salatin digresses to matters more spiritual and political than agricultural: "The pig is not just pork chops and bacon and ham to us. The pig is a co-laborer in this great land-healing ministry.
"Our culture doesn't ask about preserving the essence of pig, it just asks how can we grow them faster, fatter, bigger, and cheaper. We know that's not a noble goal. That's why the average NFL football player is dead at 57, 'cause when your neck is bigger than your head you're a freak of nature and nature weeds you out."

The beginning
The first Red Bull X-Alps, held in 2003, opened up a new dimension in adventure racing. Red Bull X-Alps mastermind and former professional paraglider Hannes Arch, said at the time, "This is much more than just an Alpine crossing; it's an adventure, an expedition and at the same time a competition."
Seventeen athletes braved the 800km journey from Austria's Dachstein glacier but only three managed to make it all the way to the finish in Monaco via three turning points at the Zugspitze in Germany, France's Mont Blanc and Mont Gros.
Kaspar Henny, a 35-year-old Swiss grabbed an early lead and held onto it for the 11 days and 23 hours it took him to complete the distance.
David Dagault (FRA) was second, over five hours behind, and Stefan Bocks (GER) was third.
The Hofer years
For the next two editions the Swiss domination continued. Alex Hofer (SUI) beat Urs Lötscher (SUI) to Monaco in 2005, and Toma Coconea (ROM) in 2007.
Hofer's superior skill in the air, solid fitness and extensive local knowledge fitted perfectly to the Red Bull X-Alps. His rivalry with Lötscher in 2005 and amazingly close finish in 2007 where he nipped past Coconea in the dying moments of the race made him a worthy champion.
A new era - The Maurer years
Starting as top favourite in 2009, Hofer saw rookie Christian Maurer (SUI) romp away with a comprehensive victory, reaching goal in less than ten days – a record time for the event. Maurer's extensive preparations and well-thought out strategy upped the ante for the Red Bull X-Alps.
In 2011, Maurer sealed victory again in 11 days, 4 hours and 22 minutes, even after serving a 24-hour penalty for infringing a no-fly zone. The 2011 Red Bull X-Alps would be remembered for Maurer's ability to handle challenging weather conditions, something which separated him from the rest of the pack.
Maurer's third consecutive victory in 2013 was the shortest time the race has ever been completed (6 days 23 hours and 40 minutes) in its ten year history, and this was the longest course line ever (1,031km).

We changed our proxy address a few weeks ago! Now something strange is happening to some laptops. I have just witnessed 16 laptops connecting to the network ok, but the only laptop which could connect to the internet was one which had an old proxy address in there. All the other had the new address, and could not connect, how could this be????
I've looked at GPO and our proxy settings are set per user not machine.

Product Review - Powell Antique Black with Sand Through Terra Cotta Bar Stool
great piece of furniture, the simple style makes it multifunctional and a great eclectic piece. i use three stools at my kitchen island. the sleek design allows me to tuck them in when not in use and the slight dip in the seat makes them a good fit for a hard chair. my only complaint is the lack of stability after moderate use, they get wobbly fast. i'd suggest larger allen screws for increased stability and less adjusting for the consumer. - ahimsa design

Blood test positive - but low
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 11:52am
Blood test positive - but nurse said we should be cautiously optimistic - my number yesterday was 39 and they usually like to see a 50. Go back tomorrow for a repeat blood test.....and viability ultrasound scheduled for early September.....
Oh god - another 24 + hours of this craziness.....
But for now - Happy me - Scared me - nervous me ! WOW :)
Hugs, Jasmine
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 11:58am
Whoo hoo!!!
I cannot describe how happy I am for you!!! Hope that the numbers will double nicely tomorrow and you will be holding a happy bouncy baby / babies in 8 month time!!!
Sending tons of baby glue your way!!!
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 12:41pm
Oh Jasmine,
Why can't it just be a straight-up happy moment for you. I'd like to strangle that nurse (who almost certainly wasn't a nurse at all, by the way). First of all, I'm thinking that all your dpt,3dt stuff adds up to about 12 dpo when you got the beta drawn, right? And 39 is enough to light up a FRER with a solid good line. And, on 13 dpo, with DD, I got a possible squinty line on a FRER, and didn't get a decent line until 14 dpo. Granted, it does get in the blood sooner than the urine, BUT, everyone metabolizes everything differently.
Did the nurse give you the range? Because, looking online, it looks like as low as 18 can be normal for up to 5 weeks dpo. Don't you dare google and scare yourself, though!! I have always read that the more important thing is the doubling.
Regardless of all that
Dude, you're pregnant!!!!!!! Now, stick and double those numbers
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 1:21pm
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 3:05pm
Oh, yeah!!!!!! Congratulations, hon!
Please try not to worry. Sunday is right...the initial number is not what's important. Hopefully, tomorrow will give you some peace of mind.
Congratulations, again! Just amazing!
Dee -- Homeschooling mom of 6 -- Forty-four and praying for 1 more!
|Tue, 08-10-2010 - 4:52pm
OMG!! How wonderful!!! I'm so happy for you!! Lots of prayers for higher numbers tomorrow!!

5 Productivity Apps Worth Your Time
Managing your productivity has gotten easier thanks to technology. Like the saying goes, there is an app for that. But to date, there are over 500,000 apps in the App Store. Just choosing a good one can take precious time you don't have.
Considering the massive volume of available apps floating out there in cyberspace, it's hard to decide which ones are worth hitting the download button. Here are a few that are beneficial to getting you and your team on track.
1. Evernote
You can create notes, snapshots, and voice memos, and easily access them on any mobile device even if you are offline. By connecting your Evernote account with your phone and computer, you won't have to email notes to yourself anymore (we've all been there). Download the app on your phone and on your computer, click "Sychronize Now", and your findings will go straight from your phone to your computer. It is also able to sync to Pelotonics, which is a web-based collaboration service similar to Basecamp.
Benefits: Eliminates emailing and individual uploads. Free to download. Add keywords and tags. Lets you share files like PDF, Excel, Word, PPT and more.
Drawbacks: No unlimited uploads; free users get 60 megabytes each month and premium users get 1GB.
2. Mocha VNC Lite
My instant reaction when I first saw it working was, "THIS IS TOO COOL!". This app allows you to control your computer from your iPhone. Not only is this a fun way to freak out your coworkers, it is also great for controlling your computer from anywhere. Watch it in real time. If you are like me, you will need the setup wizard after download. It is the easiest way to get started.
Benefits: You don't need to be physically in front of your computer to use it. Free to download. Easy to use controls.
Drawbacks: Hard to set up if you don't use the wizard.
3. Dropbox
This is an oldie but goodie. Works just like a folder on your computer, but any files inside of Dropbox will be uploaded to the Dropbox servers. It is a cloud-based service that makes it easy to backup and share files.
Benefits: Up to 2GB free space. Free to download. Lets you access previous versions and deleted files. User interface is straightforward and basic.
Drawbacks: None that I have experienced.
4. QuickFire for Basecamp
Quickly assign tasks in Basecamp from your iPhone. This simple little app allows you to create to-do's, assign tasks to an individual and/or project, and insert due dates. You must have a Basecamp account to use this app.
Benefits: Quick and simple task management for your team. Allows you to create a task without going into the Basecamp website.
Drawbacks: Costs $0.99 to download.
5. Producteev
Online task management for you and your team, with the ability to work offline. It connects with email and other tools you already use. You can add tasks, set deadlines, and upload files. Producteev also has a "Gmail Gadget" that you can enable for your inbox as a way to organize and view your important information right from your inbox.
Benefits: Clean and easy to understand user interface. Free to download. Lots of tools and uses.
Drawbacks: None that I have experienced.
Both Evernote and Dropbox were top contenders for best iPhone productivity app of 2011 from readers of The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW). Ultimately, Dropbox was chosen as the winner. Have you tried any of these apps? Which one is your favorite?

Top Ten Best Phish Songs
fireinside96I was looking for a list that had something to do with the band Phish. AND I DID NOT FIND ONE! So finally I'm putting up a list on thetoptens so that those who love Phish as much as I do can sleep comfortably at night knowing that a list is on its way. Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
The Guitar solo is ridiculous I love it and the snapping just makes it so much more catchy just an overall amazing phish song
2Run Like An Antelope
Great to run to. Saw running antelopes and signs along NYC marathon course:-)
Antelope is great at any show
How can you not enjoy this?!
3Sample In a Jar
Just saw phish at hampton colosium two weeks ago and I think I was peaking about that song...
4The Lizards
The lyrics almost remind you of a nursery rhyme but when they break the barrier after the vocals, beautiful things tend to happen then
Love the way it just winds and twists away into a million conceivable musical ideas, one of their best studio epics.
Hard to choose one, but it's definitely between Reba, Harry Hood, and Run Like an Antelope. It is for me anyway. Stash? No way. Overall, the list is pretty good.
7Slave to the Traffic Light
8Harry Hood
Best phish song in my opinion
Hood jams are the best!
9Chalk Dust Torture
Can I LIVE while I'm young!?!?

The Contenders
11You Enjoy Myself
YEM is amazing. The complex intro and catchy rhythm. This song is the meaning of Phish and defines them as a band in one song.
Haha. # 26. Easily # 1. Try making another list with YEM on top and ill take it serious.
13Bouncing Around the Room
How can you not feel like a child in a remarkable new world when you hear this song? It's more than amazing.
15Bathtub Gin
16Wolfman's Brother
19The Divided Sky
No doubt that divided sky should be in top 10 along with yem
Tweezer is a solid jam vehicle. I totally love all of the other songs, but Tweezer is a gem in a setlist and can go to great places when being jammed. Reba, Bag, and Guyute would be in my top 5.
22The Squirming Coil
23Access Me
25Colonel Forbin's Ascent
27AC/DC Bag
One of those songs you can listen to over and over again and never get tired of.
29Lawn Boy
30Walls of the Cave
A modern classic. Hope 100 years from now will be remembered because is a fantastic song
Great song! Makes me feel free!
An epic love song
34David Bowie
Why is this song so low? Top 5 for sure! And why is YEM at the bottom? And where is The Divided Sky? Come on people, you're leaving out the best work of Phish.
37Birds of a Feather
It's simply so craazy
This is definitely one of the best Phish songs. It's short but sweet and has poignant lyrics and that kind of acoustic magic that makes Phish Phish.
4046 Days
Always a rocker with great extended versions
42Runaway Jim
43First Tube
45Theme From the Bottom
46Down With Disease
48Weekapaug Groove
49Wading In the Velvet Sea
Should be closer to top!
By far, my favorite
50Prince Caspian

ruined a perfectly good pic with a perfectly retarded description.
I've noticed that's just a thing Oriahna tends to do.
eh. I'm a teenage girl who uploads this shit in the middle of the night when I'm even more brain dead than usual. Lucky thing I'm not the first one on the internet to write something dumb
Reminds me of something out of Yellow Submarine.
Any comment here that is not about elephants is irrelephant.
Actually they would be giant, four legged stormtroopers… With Tusks!!
Now that is terrifying. Actually not really. But whatev.

Relaxing, with cats
Okay, slow start in this zone.*Put new drawer pulls and knobs on drawers/cabinets in the kitchen and main bathroom.*Tossed another 11 lbs. of trash, this time from my room, and boxed some things for Goodwill.*Puttered around in D's room and carried a few boxes of stuff out of there (my stuff).*Picked up shredded paper. Yes, Puddin' and Boo crashed into my shredder and made it snow. The shredder doesn't make long shreds of easily gathered paper. No, it makes millions of paper diamonds that are juuuust big enough so that the vacuum cleaner won't easily slurp them up.
