Evergreen Terrace residents attended a town hall meeting Friday to discuss ways the complex could be spruced up.
It was complex manager Sylvia Gray's first such meeting since taking the position July 1. She said she wanted to give residents a chance to speak up about maintenance, rent and noise concerns.
"This is not a personal venting session," she said. "We do want to hear what you have to say, but we also want to be able to find solutions for the common body."
Residents met at the terrace's community center, where staff hung large banners labeled with topics such as rent and maintenance and encouraged residents to write their concerns in the appropriate spot.
"Part of having a town hall meeting is to find solutions," Gray said. "We're not gaining anything if you're saying, 'This is not working, but I don't have a solution for it.' You've got to have something."
Several residents voiced rent increase concerns, and Gray said University Housing now employs a grant writer to help alleviate Evergreen Terrace's rent burdens.
Staff member Katrina James said one major rent increase residents pay for came after the university purchased the complex from the Department of Housing and Urban Development five or six years ago. She said it led to a $100 jump in rent.
"Everything that we do comes directly from your rent," Gray said. "We're not getting any extra financial aid from SIU. If something breaks, or something isn't taken care of, we go to the books."
Gray also announced that English classes for residents' children, which Evergreen dropped because of budget cuts, will return to the complex Nov. 15. The announcement was met with applause.
James said she wants to develop new programs for kids, but she needs residents' feedback on what types to implement.
"My youngest (child) is 9," James said. "My ideas run over really quickly when it gets down below that age. We try to pump out at least two things a month for students."
Several other addressed items pertained to noise violations. Young Shim, a doctoral student in accounting from South Korea, said the complex should inform residents of potential punishments for slamming apartment doors.
"People know that they should not slam the door, but most people also know that they should not pee in the middle of the road," Shim said. "If you say that slamming the door is not good, I think that may help."
Despite several residents expressing displeasure over maintenance wait times, Gray said maintenance workers are overloaded with work orders and Evergreen Terrace employees and residents cannot do the workers' jobs.
"We are a union state," she said. "Simple things like plugging in the stove after someone moves in we cannot do. An electrician must be called to plug in that stove. It's just that serious."
Gray said the best thing residents can do is form close relationships with workers to keep operations smooth.
Resident Sasha McKnight, a graduate student in criminal justice from Chicago, said she thought University Housing would better understand Evergreen Terrace's issues because of the meeting.
"Everyone is always frustrated because they never get to speak their mind," McKnight said. "A lot of issues (Gray) didn't know about before tonight. For us to be able to tell her our problems and for her to listen to them was good."
Shim said he has seen vast improvements at the terrace since Gray became complex manager, and he attended the meeting to show his support. Shim said he thinks Gray has done more in three months than the previous administration did in 30 years.
Delwar Hossain, a graduate student in journalism from Bangladesh, said he appreciates the new administration's work.
"I have been here for more than four years, and I've never seen this kind of an attitude," Hossain said. "It's kind of … about respecting the people living here."
Gray said she used the meeting to let residents know she was on their side.
"We're fighting the same battle that you're fighting, but we're fighting for you on that," she said. "I'm going to the very top about maintenance issues. They know my name."

Searching for Medicare Supplement plans in Georgia? Let PlanPrescriber be your resource for Georgia Medicare Supplement information and plan comparisons.
Georgia residents enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B have the option to enroll in a Medicare Supplement (Medigap or MedSupp) plan to cover the healthcare costs that Original Medicare does not cover, including deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket costs. In most states, there are ten standardized Medigap policy options, each labeled with a letter with all plans of the same letter offering the same benefits.
The costs of Georgia Medigap plans vary depending on the type of plan and the private insurance company offering it. Although plans that have the same letter name, such as Plan A or Plan K, provide the same coverage across the board, premiums of these plans differ between insurance companies. These premiums are determined based on a variety of factors, such as gender, marital status, location, age, and health status. The three different ways that companies rate premiums are no-age-rated, issue-age-rated, and attained-age-rated. No-age-rated premiums are the same regardless of age, issue-age-rated premiums are based on the age of beneficiaries when they purchase the policy, and attained-age-rated premiums are based on the initial age of beneficiaries, and increase as the beneficiary ages. To ensure the lowest premiums, it is best to purchase a Medigap plan in Georgia during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period that takes place when a beneficiary is both 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B.
Here are some statistics Georgia residents enrolled in Medicare Supplement:
Additionally, here are some statistics on Medigap premium costs in Georgia, weighted by enrollment:
Medigap policy benefits in Georgia do not vary between plans for the same type. However, the costs for each plan will vary depending on which carrier is offering the plan. Georgia Medicare beneficiaries should first see what Medigap policies are available in their state, decide which plan type is best for their health needs, and then customize their search to find a Medicare Supplement insurance plan charging costs suited for their budget.
Comparison shopping is vital when purchasing a Medigap policy in Georgia. To start comparing Medicare Supplement plans in Georgia today, enter your zip code above for a customized list of plans available in your area.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Before we get into this week's outstanding Outside the Box, I want
to comment on QE2 and the efforts by some Republican economists to
urge legislators to get involved to stop it (see the front page of
Monday's Wall Street Journal). That pushes my comfort zone a
little too much.
First, I am not a fan of QE2. Never have been. If it had been my
call, I would have punted and told the guys in the Capital that
the ball was in their court to get their fiscal house in order,
because that is the main source of the problem. But Bernanke and
the Fed felt they had to "do something," to demonstrate they got
the seriousness of the situation. If the only policy tool you have
left is the hammer of printing money, then the world looks like a
Second, I doubt it works. It might be interesting to see what
would happen (theoretically) if they decided to print $3-4
trillion. Now that would have a (probably very negative) impact.
But it would show up on the radar screen. I think $600 billion
just gets soaked up in bank balance sheets, sloughed off to world
emerging markets (that don't want it) and other hot spots, with
some drifting into the stock market. But does it increase real
final demand, which is what the Keynesians are so seemingly
desperate for? I doubt it. And I just don't see the transmission
mechanism for QE2 to produce new employment of any statistical
Third, targeting the middle of the yield curve is about as benign
a way as you can do it, as far as QE goes. It certainly is not
bringing down mortgage rates (so far). This is not exactly shock
and awe QE.
Now, if the real plan, which no one can mention in polite circles
at G-20 meetings, is to weaken the dollar, then QE2 just might
work at doing that. But do we want it to? Do we want our input
prices to go higher? A weaker dollar cuts both ways. And Germany
seems to be able to work with either a strong or a weak euro. Are
they that much better than us? Really? I sincerely hope we can
take Bernanke at his word that this policy is not meant to weaken
the dollar. Currency manipulation is not what we need from the
world's reserve currency, nor will we hold that status much longer
if we embark down that path.
Back to the Republican sortie against QE2. As long as it stays on
a debate level, or even as a resolution, then fine. There is
considerable room for debate, and some very serious economists on
both sides of the issue. This is new territory and deserves to be
debated vigorously. This is, after all, affecting the public. Fed
policy is too important to be talked about only inside a
conference room with a few appointed governors and economists.
But I do not want to see anything that would reduce the
independence of the Fed from the political process (any more than
it already has been reduced). I don't want Republicans dictating
Fed policy. Or Democrats. Or the President, beyond his power to
appoint. That is the path to becoming a banana republic.
If We the People want to change Fed policy, then we need to
realize it is important who we elect as president, because he
appoints the chairman and the governors. Ideas matter and have
consequences. How many times do presidential candidates get asked
about their views on monetary policy in national debates? Are you
a proponent of Keynes? Or Friedman? Fisher? von Mises? Which of
these four dead white guys have you read and studied? These
elections of ours are more than taxes and health care. The
Senators who sit on the committees have the right to review
appointees, though few understand the real issues regarding the
Fed, I am afraid. (Wouldn't it be fun to have Rand Paul on that
committee? He could tag team with his dad in the House. Just a
Final thought. Maybe the reason for a less than shock and awe QE
is that the Fed can get to the end of it and say, "Look, we tried.
But the money just went back onto our balance sheet. Printing more
doesn't seem to be advisable." (Especially if the public pushback
gives them some cover.) Then they can back off and let Congress
know that they have no intention of monetizing their fiscal
profligacy and that Congress must get its house in order before
the bond markets react negatively.
And then again I may be wrong. Maybe QE2 does do something. No one
really knows because this is truly uncharted territory. We'll find
out in the coming months. And this Friday, in my weekly letter,
we'll look at the prospects for the economy going forward. I get
back home tonight and will be home for two weeks. I am looking
forward to catching up on my reading.
Now, for this week's OTB I offer a review of Gary Shilling's brand
new book, The Age of Deleveraging: Investment strategies for a
decade of slow growth and deflation.
Gary has long been a proponent of the idea that we are in for a
period of deflation, and was writing as far back as the '90s about
the coming deflation. I am already into the book and am enjoying
his wonderful prose, but must admit I skipped ahead to see his
predictions, some of which are in the review below. You can buy
the book at http://www.amazon.com/deleveraging.
Have a great week. And think about a few more fun things than QE2
every now and then.
Your loving the La Jolla weather analyst,
John Mauldin, Editor
Outside the Box
The Age of Deleveraging
In his new book, The Age of Deleveraging: Investment strategies
for a decade of slow growth and deflation, published by John
Wiley & Sons, Dr. A. Gary Shilling makes the case for slow
economic growth and deflation for many years ahead as well as
lays out the investment strategies that flow from this
forecast-12 sectors to sell or avoid and 10 to buy.
This new age of deleveraging was sired by the back-to-back
collapses of the housing and financial bubbles in 2007 and 2008,
both of which he had been forecasting since early in the 2000s.
He begins his new book with a look at how both of those bubbles
were created, how they grew and how he was lucky enough to have
spotted them in their infancies. Gary loves to be among the few
to spot them and predict their demises. He also reviews the five
other Great Calls he's made in his 40-year forecasting career,
including the 19691970 recession, the early 1970s inventory
bubble and 1973-1975 recession, disinflation starting in the
early 1980s, the demise of Japan's 1980s bubble and the dot com
blowoff in 2000.
After four decades of leveraging up by the global financial
sector and a three-decade borrowing-and-spending binge by U.S.
consumers, deleveraging is underway. The good life and rapid
growth that started in the early 1980s was fueled by massive
financial leveraging and excessive debt, first in the global
financial sector, starting in the 1970s, and later among U.S.
consumers (Chart 1). That leverage propelled the dot-com stock
bubble in the late 1990s and then the housing bubble. But now
those two sectors are being forced to delever and, in the
process, are transferring their debts to governments and central
banks. The federal budget deficit leaped from $187 billion in
the 12 months ending December 2007 to $1.3 trillion in the 12
months ending August 2010, but it had little net effect on the
economy as private sector retrenchment more than offset the
deficit jump (Chart 2 ). Federal borrowing relative to GDP
leaped from 3.0% in the third quarter of 2007 t o 10.7% in the
second quarter of 2010, a 7.7-percentage point climb, but
private borrowing fell from 15.2% to a negative 3.4%, a drop of
18.6 percentage points, or more than twice as much.
This deleveraging will probably take a decade or more to
complete-and that's the good news. The ground to cover is so
great that if it were traversed in a year or two, major
economies would experience depressions worse than in the 1930s.
This deleveraging and other forces will result in slow economic
growth and probably deflation for many years. And as Japan has
shown, these are difficult conditions to offset with monetary
and fiscal policies.
The insidious reality is that this deleveraging doesn't occur in
a straight line, but is highlighted by a series of seemingly
isolated events. After each, the feeling is that it's over, all
may be well, but then follows the next crisis. When the subprime
residential mortgage market started to collapse in February
2007, most thought it was a small, isolated sector. After all,
new subprime mortgages were only about 20% of total residential
mortgages issued even at their peak in 2006, and those subprime
loans were made to people that, luckily, we never have to meet.
And at its top in fourth quarter of 2005, total residential
construction was a mere 6.3% of GDP.
But then the "subprime slime," as he dubbed it, spread to Wall
Street in June of that year with the implosion of two big Bear
Stearns subprime-laden hedge funds. Most hoped the Fed actions
that August had ended the crisis and, indeed, stocks reached
their all-time highs in October 2007. But as the financial woes
spread, Bear Stearns was forced to sell for next to nothing to
JP Morgan Chase bank, Merrill Lynch suffered a shotgun wedding
with Bank of America, major banks like Citigroup and Bank of
America itself were on government life support, and Lehman Bros.
went bankrupt in September 2008.
Then the third phase struck as U.S. consumers stopped buying in
the fall of 2008 (Chart 3 ) and the fourth, the global
recession, coincided. Falling house prices and earlier home
equity withdrawal wiped out the home equity that many had used
to finance oversized consumer spending and the availability of
loans in general became as scarce as hens teeth amidst the
financial panic.
The optimists hoped the $862 billion fiscal stimulus package in
the U.S. and similar fiscal bailouts abroad would take care of
all those problems, but were surprised by the eurozone crisis in
late 2009 and early 2010 and the drop it sired in the euro
against the greenback (Chart 4). Nevertheless, that's just the
fifth step in global deleveraging. The combination of the
Teutonic north and the Club Med south under the common euro
currency only worked with strong global growth driven by the
debt explosion-but now that's over.
More Traumas Ahead
Further traumas on this deleveraging side of the long cycle lie
ahead. Another sovereign debt crisis in Europe may be in the
cards with Ireland replacing Greece as the focus. A further 20%
drop in U.S. house prices due to huge excess inventories of over
2 million and foreclosure delays may push underwater homeowners
from 23% of mortgagors to 40% and precipitate a self-feeding
spiral of walkaway homeowners and nosedive in consumer spending.
Other roadblocks on the deleveraging highway may include a
crisis in U.S. commercial real estate (Chart 5) that could
exceed the earlier one in housing. Then there's a possible hard
landing in China that exceeds the 2008 weakness (Chart 6) as the
government's measures to cool the red hot property market and
economy in general take hold. A slow-motion train wreck in Japan
will probably occur sooner or later as her all-important exports
fall along with weakening U.S. consumer willingness to buy them,
and as her already subdued domestic sector suffers from her
rapidly aging population.
Nine Causes of Global Slow Growth
In The Age of Deleveraging, Gary notes that with deleveraging
comes slow economic growth, and he details nine reasons why real
GDP will rise only about 2% annually in the years ahead- far
below the 3.3% growth it takes just to keep the unemployment
rate stable. Those nine reasons include:
1. U.S. consumers will shift from a 25year
borrowing-and-spending binge to a saving spree. This will spread
abroad as American consumers curtail the imports of the goods
and services many foreign nations depend on for economic growth.
2. Financial deleveraging will reverse the trend that financed
much global growth in recent years.
3. Increased government regulation and involvement in major
economies will stifle innovation and reduce efficiency.
4. Low commodity prices will limit spending by
commodity-producing lands.
5. Developed countries are moving toward fiscal restraint.
6. Rising protectionism will slow, even eliminate global growth.
7. The housing market will be weak due to excess inventories and
loss of investment appeal.
8. Deflation will curtail spending as buyers anticipate lower
9. State and local governments will contract.
2.0% Growth May Be High
Please note that these nine economic growth-slowing forces make
2.0% annual advances in real GDP in coming years reasonable,
maybe even optimistic. The switch from a quarter-century-long
consumer borrowing-and-spending binge to a saving spree will cut
1.5 percentage points off the 3.7% GDP growth rate of the lush
1982-2000 years. That alone brings growth down to 2.2%, and the
image eight other forces can easily reduce growth by another 0.2 image
percentage points.
Deflationary Expectations
And the deflationary environment Dr. Shilling foresees will
feature both good deflation of excess supply resulting from
rising globalization and the increasing economic dominance of
productivity-soaked new technologies as well as the weak
economic growth-inspired bad deflation of deficient demand. Good
deflation will amount to about 1% to 2% while the bad deflation
will run about 1%, making for annual deflation rates of 2%-3%
per year.
Deflation is self-feeding and a key, but by no means the only,
self-perpetuating mechanism is the anticipation of lower prices.
But how much deflation does it take for consumers and businesses
to wait for lower prices before buying? There is no simple
answer, but it depends on at least four factors:
1. The breadth of deflation. Declining prices have to spread
across a wide spectrum of goods and services to be convincing.
The declines in energy prices in 2009 were too narrow to be
2. The chronic nature of deflation.The consumer price index
(CPI) and producer price index (PPI) dropped year over year in
2009, but only for a few months due to declining energy prices.
Furthermore, against the background of nonstop inflation since
World War II, that experience was not long-standing enough to
convince people that it would persist.
3. Decelerating prices, at least in the short run. Few Americans
expect deflation, and most regard a return to significant
inflation as inevitable. This probably means that it will take a
pattern of smaller and smaller rates of inflation turning into
bigger and bigger rates of deflation to be convincing. Inflation
rates have fallen from double digits to essentially zero in the
past 25 years. If deflation sets in, but at a steady rate of,
say, 1% per year, it will probably take a number of years before
people believe in its permanence. More immediately convincing
would be 1% deflation followed by a 2% decline in general prices
the next year and 3% the following year.
4. The amount of deflation. Of course, the deeper the deflation,
the more convincing it becomes. Deep deflation would be a big
persuader as it promotes big drops in interest rates and
tangible asset and commodity prices, and unbelievable consumer
bargains, but also job losses in firms that don't cut their
costs and prices. Those living on fixed incomes would feel like
kings as their purchasing power grows while highly leveraged
individuals and corporations would fail.
Furthermore, deflation must be significant enough to spur
action. Even if you are convinced that a decline in shoe prices
is in the offing, it may not be big enough to make you wait to
buy. Waiting could entail another trip to the shoe store to
check prices, and besides, if you buy a pair now, you get the
use of them in the meanwhile.
In addition, the cost and discretionary nature of a good or
service influences the sensitivity to deflation. An expected 5%
decline in car prices next year may make you wait. If you're
spending $30,000, that's a cool $1,500 in your pocket, and you
can probably nurse your old bus along for another year anyway.
Recall how rebate programs have pushed vehicle sales up and down
like ping-pong balls. But a guaranteed 10% drop in toothpaste
prices next month may not make you get out the pliers so you
can, by vigorous squeezing, make the old tube last until the
lower price is in effect-or to brush your teeth with Ajax while
waiting for that price drop.
Trigger Point For Deflationary Expectations
Taking these four factors into account, what would it take to
trigger deflationary expectations? Probably not as big a decline
in prices as the 3% inflation rate level that seemed to touch
off inflationary expectations in the 1970s. Even before that
decade, folks had gained familiarity with rising prices
throughout the postwar era and were relatively insensitive to
the inflationary beast. Been there, done that.
Deflation, however, is a different animal, not seen since the
1930s, and few of us today have had first-hand experience with
it. Widespread and chronic falling prices would be such a shock
to most that it would probably take less deflation today than it
took inflation earlier to get people's attention. Our judgment
is that declines in the prices of most goods and a fair number
of services, averaging 1% to 2% and lasting for several years,
would do the job. Then, anticipation of lower prices by buyers
and all of the other self-feeding aspects of deflation would
kick in. As noted earlier, Gary believes that annual declines in
general price indexes of 2% to 3% are likely. If he's right, the
world will be quite different than with the 2% to 3% annual
inflation rates that most investors currently expect.
My Investment Themes
In The Age of Deleveraging, Gary discusses 12 investment areas
to sell or avoid in the long run. Included are expensive
consumer discretionary purchases like motor vehicles,
appliances, airline trips and ocean cruises. These will be hurt
by consumers' zeal to save and by the self-feeding downward
spiral of deflationary expectations. The latter has locked
automakers into profit-killing rebates. Similarly, credit card
and other consumer lenders will suffer from the household shift
from borrowing to debt retirement. Conventional homebuilders and
their suppliers will be pressured as more than 2 million excess
house inventories drive prices down another 20%.
The 10 investment sectors he favors include Treasury bonds. Back
in the early 1980s, when the 30-year Treasury yielded 15.25%, he
said we were entering "the bond rally of a lifetime." He
believes that rally is still intact as 30-year yields head for
3% and 10-year yields for 2% amidst slow economic growth,
deflation and Treasurys' global appeal as safe havens. Dr.
Shilling also likes securities with high, reliable and growing
cash returns such as stocks that pay significant dividends.
As households increasingly separate their abodes from their
investments, they'll favor small single-family houses,
especially the cost-effective homes built in factories. Rental
apartments will also be attractive as younger couples stay in
them until their children are old enough to need single-family
houses, and empty-nesters will prefer rentals to condos when
they sell their suburban money pits. Our nation has decided to
reduce its dependence on unreliable foreign energy sources, so
he likes conventional North American energy suppliers such as
coal, nuclear, natural gas, oil sands and related industries,
but no government subsidy-dependent renewal energy such as
ethanol, wind, solar and geothermal.
The Age of Deleveraging
Dr. Shilling believes the deleveraging process has years to go
and that economic and financial markets have not returned to
business as usual, at least not to the world of rapid growth
supported by oversized and growing debt.
During the last fascinating decade, he played three roles.
First, as an eyewitness to history, watching speculation survive
the Internet bubble collapse in the early 2000s due to massive
monetary and fiscal stimuli, and then spreading to commodities,
foreign currencies, emerging market stocks and bonds, hedge
funds and private equity, and especially housing. Gary saw the
housing and financial bubbles expand and then explode. He
watched the fears of financial meltdown spur gigantic monetary
and fiscal bailouts. He experienced the witch hunts that
followed, the inevitable result of widespread losses and high
Second, he's been a participant in this drama, not only
chronicling it in his monthly Insight newsletter, but also
continually warning of the impending collapses in the housing
and financial bubbles. And he was involved through a very
profitable year in 2008 for the portfolios his firm manages when
all 13 of his investment strategies worked-most gratifying in
contrast to those who never acknowledged that those bubbles
existed, much less could burst.
Third, Gary participated as a forecaster in successfully
foreseeing the expansion and then collapse of the housing and
financial bubbles. More recently, his forecasts have focused on
the continuing deleveraging that the bursting of those two
bubbles commenced, and the resulting investment strategies for
the next decade.
The Age of Deleveraging describes all three of these roles, and
I hope you find it enlightening, provocative, instructive, and
at times amusing. It's available via amazon.com and

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Sydney is £35 per night.
alice_yg The location of Bounce is great which is just opposite to the Central rail station and quite near the coach terminals and make us easily to go other places. If more than 3-4 people, it may be a better choice to take a taxi between airport and Bounce since the fare we took from the Bounce to the airport (international departure) only $26, even cheaper than taking coach ($12 per person). The kitchen is at the 4th floor and the facilities are fine. I saw every morning staff of Bounce were clean the kitchen. From last Saturday, Bounce provides free breakfasts to all guests. The room we booked was an ensuite which is clean though not very big.
travelnetwork The hostel staff were awesome and so accommodating for everyone staying at the hostel, and even some of the old residents who returned for quiz night. It was great that the staff ensured we had something to do each night and took us out in Kings Cross for a great $12 steak at a local pub The Sugarmill. We stuck around after dinner as the meal was was followed by pub quiz night which we almost won, so very close. The crew then asked who wanted to return to the hostel and who wanted to kick on and experience partying in Kings Cross and took us for several rounds of karaoke at O'Malley's Hotel. This included many terrible songs, some rock anthems and one or two rounds of shots. It's always a shame when you leave something in your room and when I got home I discovered this and emailed the hostel asap and Effie was kind enough to find the items I left in the locker in my room. They were also able to store them for a week until my friend could collect them. I can't say enough nice things about the location and the staff, they certainly deserve your consideration if you are thinking of staying in the Cross.
509 Pitt Street Opposite Central Railway
Awesome 85%Sam I Am This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in so can't say much besides positive things about it! It's right next to Central Station which can be a great location if you are moving around the city a lot (buses around the corner to Coogee/Bondi Junction, not far to Glebe or Chinatown or even the CBD and the Harbour). If you are after the beach, then pick a hostel in Manly/Bondi or Coogee though. Back to the hostel. It is slightly pricey, but very modern and secure and compared with other properties around there (YHA Central is around the corner) and the quality of the place not over-priced. Would recommend it to friends and family. If you plan on staying in Sydney for a long time it's a great place to start out but the price will become a burden quickly after you've gotten more familiar with the city and other options.
fucchy *Friendly and helpful staff *Accessible from the central station and easy to go anywhere (George street, Hyde park etc.) *Free breakfast *Comfortable bed *Well cleaned I would like to use this hostel again when I go to Sydney.
whenrnjs It's very nice place to stay. Good location to take subway and near supermarket. I met very kind staff. good security. very clean room and bothroom. and most of all, very resonable price!! What I want to say is "it's awesome!!!" =)
petchy111 The hostel staff were very friendly and helpful with our stay and with additional information about the area. The room was clean and comfortable but it did not have air conditioning which made the room a little hot. The kitchen and eating area were nice and there was a good atmosphere. I would recommend it as a place to stay in Sydney.
27 Orwell Street Kings Cross
Great 83%grant124 Great people, great location. Bit of a dive but good value. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sleep with minimal comforts with minimal cost and steps to the beach, this is it.
79 Bayswater Road, Kings Cross
Great 80%the p0ps great location! very very bad security we had extra people in our room all the time sleeping on the floor coming and going as they pleased as no-one checked when they entered the building. not very sociable need large benches for everyone to sit at to help socialise. Esp the bar.

Some problems are tougher than others. See in the Bamboo forum a post regarding locating and removing mines which have been overgrown by bamboo. |
Here is a link that might be useful: mineclearance and bamboo
Follow-Up Postings:
Hey! I was in that thread! Now you know about my secret life as a bamboo addict. That chap does have a challenging job, and I hope he accomplishes his task without incident. Fortunately, the armored equipment they use lets them contain any explosions, but I still wonder whether they will be able to extract every mine before villagers attempt to cultivate the land. Maybe we should offer those Cambodian villagers a complete garden restoration once the mines and bamboo have been taken out. |
wow. amazing thread. Did anyone hear the story on NPR (don't remeber which show) about the plants someone has developed that change color when they are growing over a mine? I can't find the audio--but did find this story via google. Pretty cool.... melanie |

What are you talking about Cady?? now we at the boo forum know that you are a Garden restoration addict!! Boy, wait till I tell everyone..... :) I need to get out of the boo forum, this looks like a nice one.. |
Melanie, I heard that story on NPR a couple months ago, and mentioned it to the person who posted the mine removal thread on the Bamboo forum. He is familiar with the plant - developed by a Dutch company. His concern was that it might not grow in the area he needs to de-mine. Also, the time involved growing it is too much - he says that the farmers are already moving onto the land to farm it. Nandina made a good suggestion to him on the 'Boo forum -- to talk with the horticulturists at the agricultural field station in Savannah, GA, where many species of bamboo are grown, and also where there is a quarantine station for imported bamboo. |
Good to see you here, WildBill. Another bamboo addict who's also a garden restoration/history fanatic. You and Spectre should get to know each other. You'll click. |

I'm new to this forum but thought this might be a good place to post. I mostly hang out in decorating but this is kind of a cleaning question. I really had my heart set on ebony stained flooring with creamy white kitchen cabinets, but I'm scared I won't have enough hours in the day to keep the black floors looking good. It's a small enough kitchen that running a swiffer each day wouldn't be hard, but I'm just afraid 5 minutes after I do it, it'll look awful again. Any advice? The other alternative would be to do another paint color on the cabs and then pickle the floor nearly white. Would that be any easier to keep looking clean though? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you should do what you originally said, white cabinets and black floor. I think a few minutes daiiy with a Swiffer mop will be enough. it's your house after all. |
I would get the floor that I want. A black floor is no more ridiculous than a white floor and lots of people have white floors. Have you considered getting a central vac and having a vac pan installed? |

Earlier I had posted about a big fat toad that appeared n our yard. Now a couple years later I found ? the same one again in the yard. We have dogs, so afraid they would harm the toad, I put it in the fenced in garden only to find it by the back door a few nights later! Either the dogs don't see it or lost interest... now tonight we heard a strange loud sound in the back yard & there was the toad again 'croaking' but now in the fish pond! I feared it had fallen in & would drown & went to take it out of the pond only to hear another of the same sounds coming from the other side of the pond... a smaller fat toad!! Must be mating season? Sure can make a loud ruckas! The old supestition: 'if a toad 'pees' on you it will give you warts'! My ? though is: do toads like water & can they swim like frogs can? Neither of the toads show no fear as I can pick either of them up. |

Toads swim well-they have webbed feet for a reason. Yours will most likely lay long strings of eggs in the water. Toads are good to have around unless they are the cane or marine toad (Bufo marinus)which in that case they should be removed. Be sure to ID correctly- cane toads are HUGE-a fully grown adult will cover a coffee saucer. Paul. |
Think they are Arizona toads. Saw some teeny, tiny black specks that looked like poppy seeds in the pond the next morning. Thinking they must be the eggs the toads layed, I took a lot out of the pond (afraid the goldfish would eat them) & put them in a pail of water. Today (June 25) I looked in the bucket & saw hundreds of baby 'toad-lets' swimming around!! Any idea as to how I should keep them now? The parents have gone to places unknown in our yard again. |

MGM used to have a celebrity of the day that would sign autographs. I can't remember who my kids saw back in 1997. When I took them back in 2000, they weren't doing this feature anymore.

Is there some kind of celebrity guest schedule posted somewhere?

You might try calling and asking or writing, but my guess is they don't publicize things too far in advance for many reasons (including, of course, the fact that schedules change so often and so drastically)

World Cup Fever
FIFA World Cup starts tomorrow!!! And Wayne Rooney is cleared to play!!! Yeay!!
I am a life long Liverpool fan and many of the England team started in the ranks of Liverpool FC.
Go England Go!!!
Here's to a GREAT tournament and I hope the thugs can behave themselves this year.
And here's to the Oilers!! Come on Edmonton!!!!!

Will be rooting for Liverpool, Toni! When I was a young lass, I remember traveling through Spain and there must have been an important football game going on...all these men were crowded around this tiny, tiny TV in the train station in Madrid, cheering and screaming and shouting.
At the time I had no idea the game of soccer was so huge to people on the other side of the pond. :)
GO TEAMS GO!! - 9:27 am

Okay...if I'm cheering, it's always better to have the team name straight.
And YAY to the Liverpool players.

LOL--I forgive you. Soccer is also huge in Africa, South America. All over really. Canada has tonnes of soccer, especially for the kids. That's great!
I guess the magic of soccer is you only need a ball to play. Goalposts can be anything from sweaters to water bottles.
I have vivid memories of playing 5 aside with my friend Mary. No one wanted us sloth-like creatures on their team (this is when we were grad students). So we joined up with a prof and tech from another building and Mary turned out to be a star striker and won the tournament for us :) Oh the joy :) - 9:48 am
Shame Mary's not English she could have helped out if Rooney wasn't to be risked from the bench!
Come on England!!!! Just bought a tasteful little foam flag to fit onto my car ariel - chav eh!
Let's hope Paragua are as good as Jamacia!

LOL Meretta on the coaching. They reeel in those parents!! DH did it last year, and probably next year. What a laugh trying to get 5 year old girls to do anything but pick daisies!!
Melissa--some are LOL. I think Michael Owen is the cutest. A real sweetie (with hair).
Scott-thanks. I love the world cup, not big on club matches except for cup finals. Something about the World Cup always stirs up happy spirits. England and Argentina have a huge rivalry that has nothing to do with the war.
Hi Peggy and Eve!! Will come by today :) - 9:56 am

Spider-Man minifig gallery finished already
Posted by Huw,Thanks to my wife having the hairdresser round yesterday morning (if you have a wife or girlfriend you'll know how long that takes!) and then a football (soccer) match on the TV featuring one of our local teams (Southampton) on Sky Sports yesterday which she was glued to, I had some time to photograph the Spider-Man figs which you can now see in all their glory in the Spider-Man minifig gallery.
in 2002 when he first made an appearance, Spider-Man sets were a sub-theme of Studios, along with dinosaurs, werewolves, vampires and various other movie characters. Spider-Man became a theme in its own right in 2003, and continued in 2004. It was therefore right across the old grey/yellow head / new grey/flesh head boundary.
The Studios sets contained minifigs which BrickLink considers to belong to other themes, so these are not included in the gallery, and neither are figures from the 4Juniors sets.

awesome minifigs huw! cant for the next one, what is it?
I actually never knew this, but i bought the Spider man set 4852 and it said it was made in Korea! :(
Great pictures Huw! I always thought it was a pity that the theme came to an end after Spider-Man 2, I would have loved to see some sets from Spider-Man 3, and in particular, figures like Venom and Sandman, they would have been amazing! I wonder if they'll ever re-launch the theme, with the new movie in production and all.
@Huw - Could you please make a Star Wars Mini-fig Gallery :), I mean i know it's a overwhelming amount of Mini-figures. And maybe you could do a Star Wars Creature Gallery perhaps. Anyway just some suggestions.
Great pictures! What would be the next theme? Star Wars? ;-)
Or maybe Atlantis or Adventurers or Spongebob or Vikings ... There are many themes to choose from, but I think you don't have all the minifigs or enough time.
I love these Minifigure Galleries!! Keep em coming. Throw a Star Wars one at us!
Nice job!
Castle Fantasy would be a cool theme for a gallery - Knights, Wizards, Dwarves and Trolls! =D
Great Job again!!!
Great job! And pretty fast!
I hope The Star Wars Minifig Gallery will come out soon!
There are actually lots of themes to chose from, not only licensed. However, I think the licensed should be prioritized. They are a bit more known.
Likely candidates for the next galleries are Aquazone (original series), Western, post classic space, Vikings, fantasy era Castle, Exo-Force, collectable minifigures.
I will be doing Star Wars but not yet, for reasons that will be come apparent later in the year.
My votes go fantasy era or post classic space. is it just me or the minifig list for space is a bit a mess?
Anyway keep up the good work, it´s such a better way to look at minifigs=)
I wish my wife would occupy herself for hours at a time on the weekends...oh, yeah, the Legos! Great work once more. Thanks for all your efforts.
Absolutel outstanding! These galleries are amazing, and I appreciate the work you put into them. As a humble suggestion, I wonder if it would be possible to make a minifigure accesory gallery. I know it would take a LONG time for it to be made, but wouldn't it be cool to see every accesory in creation listed?
Great job Huw! *Rolls eyes* Your wife is a football fan?... :P Sounds so... strange. :P
BTW, a bit off-topic, but interesting: On 24th January, Brickset got 5 million page views! :) GO BRICKSET! :)
^ That's page views over a 30 day period and on the 24th that's the highest it's ever been. That's an average of c.161,000 a day.
Huw, there are two Huws in the "Online Now" list! :P
Do spongebob, huw!! It'll be easy!! But, great job on all the galleries.
Looks great but you can't make out the hands of the ambulance driver.
^White on white, what do you expect :-)
^^^ On my PC and iPad at the same time, while reassembling the Western figs for the next gallery...
@Huw: YAY! :) WESTERN! :)
time cruisers would be easier than sponge bob, not even a year out!
star wars I bet will take some time, and always updating.
Great job on the lighting, and keeping the setup the same, great work!
Thanks for the awesome new Spider Man gallery Huw! I really like this one, and the photography is brilliant. :-)
Thanks for the great work Huw! I will be eagerly awaiting the Western minifig gallery. It is one of my most favorite themes. Bummer I only bought 3 of the sets while they were out. I never was too interested in the Native sets and now I regret passing them up. Keep up the great work!
@starwars17:whats wrong with that? :|
Thank you huw for doing this, I can't wait for future pictures.
Awsome galleries. I'm looking forward to see the next minifig galleries. :-)
Did you check out my galleries on my website? It's called www.klokriecher.de.
Cool gallery, thanks!
Collectible minifigs would be a cool one. Maybe if you do a SW gallery, you could do only certain episodes at a time. Or have other people do some of the other episodes.
@Huw - are these going to be updated? Like when the new Harry Potter sets come out, will you update those?
Huw, are you telling me that you have ALL of the minifigures in these gallerys? then i would know you are the real LEGO guru.
You are missing the 1376 set from the Spiderman figure list. The figure is the same as the one used for 4853, 4854, 4855, 4856, 4857 which means its first appearance is actually 2002.
@wiredforsound - That Spiderman figure is the same as in 4851 and 4852. However, it should be it's own figure since it comes with a neck bracket.
It's meant to be made in Denmark, Hungary, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, China, Mexico or the Czech Republic :(
With the release of Universe, its long long LONG overdue for the return of the Doc Ock tentacle backpack thing. which must be where it debuted i guess...
@1265 & wiredforsound: you are right: I've added that fig separately now.
Actually, the subtheme was Jurassic Park 3. Not Dinosaurs. Anyways-great job, I'm amazed that you have all those Batman figs, Spider-Man figs, Prince of Persia figs, and more.
Rockin' the figs again. Loving it.
You know, I'd love to see when you have a chance, Agents figs. The villains are excellent.
Great job with the Toy Story and Spider-Man galleries, Huw! Since you're doing mainly licensed themes at the moment, is there any chance you will be doing a Avatar minifig gallery soon?
Huw, I don't care if people don't like how the minifigs look with the white. I think you have captured them and adjusted them quite well. I would like to see the Series 3 minifig gallery with your pics. I just noticed today that there are 2 types of each for Series 3. This should be fixed as they normally come with all their equipment. Just something to slot into your plans.
^ I was wondering whether to include their 'equipment' when I do them. What's the consensus?
^^ I do hope to do all licenced themes except NBA and I won't be doing Star Wars until later in the year (a) because I don't have all the figs and (b) because of another related project I am working on.
+1 doing the "equipment" with the figs.
@Huw - The Spider-Man minifig with neck bracket is actually from 2002, not 2003, because the set itself is from 2002 :)
Why not NBA? They're pretty unique minifigs I think :) Lots of them :P
Also, I'm against adding the equipment to the Collectible Minifigs - The minifig is a minifig, while the minifig with equipment is a set, I think :)
Another thing is: the links to the minifigs you've already done in the 'Galleries featuring photos from BrickLink' are obsolete, because they redirect to your minifig photos anyway :)
^ NBA is of no interest to anyone outside the USA and I don't have the figures and have no intention of getting them. That said, if someone does have them all and can photograph them to this standard then I'd be happy to add them.
^ I agree with you re: the equipment. Including it potentially makes it difficult to photograph them to the same size and standard as the others (think fishing rod)
^ I've left the galleries featuring photos from BrickLink links in place because even though they no longer show the BrickLink images (so I guess should be renamed) they do show an alternative view of the figs and sets which some may find useful still.
So... What's next? Western?

Cleanup continuing after Mokena oil pipeline leak
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com November 26, 2012 4:16PM
Updated: December 28, 2012 6:19AM
Clean-up continues at a Mokena tank farm after 900 barrels of crude oil leaked from an underground pipeline last week.
Crews have been working all week at Chicap Pipeline's property, 18401 Wolf Road, and recovered 700 barrels by Tuesday, officials said.
"It appears all contamination is on their property. That is very good," said Maggie Carson, spokeswoman for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
The IEPA will continue to monitor the clean-up, as well as the air, soil and water, and "make sure the recovery is complete," she said.
With clay soil and dry weather, the clean-up was managed more easily, she said.
The pipeline is owned by Enbridge.
Crews are expected to be there until the end of the week, Enbridge spokeswoman Jennifer Smith said Tuesday. She said the pipe still is being repaired, and contaminated soil still is being removed from the site.
"We want to make sure the community knows there are no apparent health concerns," Smith said.
The leak was discovered about 1 p.m. Nov. 20 after the Mokena Fire Department received calls about a gas odor south of Interstate 80, fire Chief Howard Stephens said.
The leak never posed any threats to residents, the chief said, but Will County Emergency Management Agency and Mokena's Emergency Disaster Services Agency were notified.
There was a hole in a 20-inch transfer pipe from one tank to another, and oil was bubbling up through the ground, he said.
According to the company's website, the Chicap Pipeline System transfers oil along 203 miles of 26-inch mainline from Patoka, to Manhattan/Mokena, and 12 miles of active 16-inch lines from Mokena to Lemont.
"We will continue to monitor the recovery, but there appears to be no concern," Carson said. The IEPA will receive a report on what went wrong and how it will be prevented from recurring, she said.
"We have many miles of pipelines underground. We see a lot of leaks," she said.
In September 2010, an Enbridge pipeline leaked for three days, spewing thousands of barrels worth of crude oil into sewage and drainage systems in Romeoville.
Six weeks earlier, a 30-inch Enbridge pipeline burst in Marshall Township, Mich., spilling more than 1 million gallons of oil over 35 miles of the Kalamazoo River, which flows into Lake Michigan. The company at the time estimated that incident would cost between $300 million and $400 million to clean up.

RJ, your experience with Wanker illustrates perfectly the harm those kinds of guys can do.
They come in here, make up a false identity, go around insulting everybody, playing with everybody's emotions, and end up getting banned after they do their damage.
It's not you, RJ, who has the problem in this particular case--it's the "Wanker"s of the Internet.

Hospitals With Robots Do More Prostate Cancer Surgery - NY Times
Dr. Danil V. Makarov, assistant professor of urology at New York University's Langone Medical Center, was the lead author of a recent study published in the journal Medical Care. The study is the latest report to suggest that how men are treated for prostate cancer appears to be influenced by a variety of factors, including the technology and marketing goals of hospitals and doctors, rather than scientific evidence on benefits and risks. Read Tara Parker-Pope's full story, "Hospitals With Robots Do More Prostate Cancer Surgery" in the Health Section of the New York Times.

Instant Criminal Checks offers all of its customers county criminal background checks. If you want to place a county background check in any state in the USA please visit our order form. We now have the capability to perform county criminal background checks in all 3,143 counties in the country. When it comes to criminal background checks in the USA, we have the whole nation covered. Get the criminal data from the region, state and county you need it from, in a timely fashion, on demand here at InstantCriminalChecks.com where we are always open for business. South Carolina or its abbreviation SC represents one of the 50 US States and has 46 South Carolina counties within it and 685 South Carolina cities and towns. Criminal history checks being offered range from a county level court researcher search to a national background check
In corporate America today, South Carolina businesses are faced with new challenges like illegal immigration, terrorism, identity fraud and South Carolina employee liability concerns ranging from past employee criminal convictions to awareness of unacceptable historical behavior that could present itself again at another company or organization, posing safety risks to existing employment environments. With so much focus on security and safety by South Carolina employers today, the amount of South Carolina employment background checks, social security validations and address history traces being performed both in pre-employment screening, South Carolina tenant screening, South Carolina applicant screening and South Carolina employment screening markets leads to questions concerning how current these online criminal search results are and whether or not they are complete and accurate. These online searches are getting their information from public records which are not usually perfect or reliable. With employment background checks and applicant screening in general increasing over recent history, the use and dissemination of public records, criminal history reports, address traces and social security validation checks have gone up dramatically and are most accessible over the Internet. Still some online public record users do not know the difference between police records and criminal conviction records, or felony records verse misdemeanor and infraction offenses. South Carolina criminal history checks are used for many purposes including personal checks, self checks, SC employment screening, SC tenant screening, SC nanny checks, SC babysitter background searches, SC private investigations and any other legitimate need. These criminal history checks can be performed as a South Carolina county background check, South Carolina statewide criminal search, multi-state search or national background check.

New GI Bill Benefits Calculator
I chose Drexel University Online because of the university's quality of education and their reputation for supporting veterans using the Post-911 GI-Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program. Drexel was the perfect fit because it offers professionals like me an opportunity to earn a Master of Science in Project Management followed by graduate studies in Homeland Security Management. - Rick Whitson, Senior Chief (Retired)/E8, US Navy
"I started taking Drexel Online classes while doing a combat tour in Iraq. The administration was very helpful in setting everything up, and the professors were very understanding of the sometimes difficult circumstances. After getting out of the Army, they helped me make a smooth transition from online and into a full time, on-campus experience. I'm really glad I picked a school like Drexel, who makes every effort to accommodate the needs of veterans." - Matt Culbertson, Army SPC
"I talk to a lot of older vets and the often say "I wish I had used my GI Bill when I had the chance." I didn't want to make that mistake. You earned your college education in the hardest way possible, so you should definitely take advantage of it." - Matt Culbertson, Army SPC
"I completed my undergraduate work with Drexel Online, as it fit our lifestyle and moving situations. I decided to stay with Drexel for my graduate studies because the online program provides me with the flexibility to continue my classes, while living the demands of military life." - Kristin Duncan, Military Spouse (husband is U.S. Navy, E5)
"No one can take one's education away. Having an education is priceless when it comes to being an active member in society and setting oneself up for a great future." - Kristin Duncan, Military Spouse (husband is U.S. Navy, E5)
I have been pleasantly surprised by the rigor and quality of the courses at Drexel Online. I also like the flexibility. When I'm traveling, I can bring my laptop and can complete my work anywhere, anytime. – Patience Ajoff-Foster, Military Spouse (husband is SSG, Army)

Carmelo/MSG Produce Fireworks; The Rest of the League Goes Crazy
Normally, starting Smack with a Knicks/Nets game must've meant that the rest of the league either had the night off or every other game just sucked. We could've started with all of the misplaced anger going around the NBA last night – guys were throwing bows, players were getting thrown out for grabbing their junk, there were punches thrown between announcers and fans. People were going harder than Malice on a solo cut, but we'll get to it all after last night's main basketball event from Madison Square Garden … 68 first-half points. To the Nets. Even Jay-Z would've had to laugh at that. Mike D'Antoni and the Knicks were probably laughing themselves. New York's defense couldn't have been more lax if they tried. Still, it was fun. Runs, highlights, the return of Deron Williams (22 points) Read More »
