Giselle and Werner were the most hospitable hosts one could find anywhere. Very thoughtful and great cooks as well.

We loved this little B&B! Clean, very comfortable, country charm in a small town. The rooms were nice size, private baths, beautiful linens on comfy beds. The hosts, Werner and Gisela, were just as charming and very helpful in pointing us in the right direction for local scenic drives and places to eat and visit. Maybe the best part was, they were awesome cooks! Werner cooked wonderful breakfast dishes and Gisela baked fresh bread and goodies everyday. My husband and I would definitely recommend this charming New England B&B.

This past weekend, 9/19,20/ 2014 is the 2nd time I've stayed with Werner & Gisela. By far the best B & B in the Northeast.

This was our first bed and breakfast experience, and our hosts Gisela and Werner made sure we were comfortable and happy. The house is both cute and alluring, peppered with old-world knick-knacks and stuffed furniture. The rooms were comfortable, private and satisfying. And the breakfast! You are truly treated like an honored guest as they serve you fresh fruit, homemade breads, cookies, and cooked-to-order meals that prepare you for a day of sight-seeing. I'd recommend the Haven Guest House to anyone.

Words cannot convey my wonderful experience staying at the Haven Guest House. Everything was outstanding. ...room, service, value, cleanliness, dining, location, valet service, homemade breads, breakfast was a fine dining/gourmet experience. Homemade breads are to "die for"! The host and hostess are perfect at making you feel comfortable yet having privacy! We will imbibe of their hospitality again!!

It was a warm welcome, fireplace glowing, hot tea to drink, and comfortable warm bed , and to top it all a wonderful full breakfast in the morning. I was stranded in a snow storm, and could not get home. Gisela graciously loaned me some night clothes. Thanks to both Werner and Gisela, a wonderful place to stay on a cold snowy night.

We also chose to stay at Haven Guest House based on other reviews. We could not have been happier. We were in the area to pick up our son at a camp at Green Mountain College in Poultney, and the stay proved to be very convenient. When we arrived, we received a warm welcome from Gisela and Werner. We arrived during a heat wave, and Gisela had thoughtfully started the air conditioning in our room before our arrival. The house is beautiful and beyond immaculate! The rooms are interesting, and I was quite fond of our room (I believe it was the Apple Blossom room with the king-sized bed). Although we didn't have much time during our stay, it was very nice to relax in our room. The bed was unusually comfortable, and we had a very restful night. We had a menu from which we made choices for breakfast for the following morning. The breakfast choices were very good, and my husband and I shared entrees. The omelet was made with local eggs and from herbs grown in the backyard. The breakfast consisted of several courses and very good coffee! It was served promptly at the time we requested. Gisela and Werner did an outstanding job of being attentive without hovering. It was a perfect mix for us. I only wish that we had been able to stay longer. If we end up going back next summer, I would definitely stay again. I wish that I could find something negative to say about the stay to show that I am not sugarcoating the stay, but I just can't think of a single thing that could be improved. The smallest touches were considered (soda and water for guests in the refrigerator upstairs as an example). The setting and the hosts were truly lovely!

Being from Texas you seek the best and this time it was Outstanding! Spotless, Charming, Fantastic Food, and The Baumann's are THE BEST! We have enjoyed visiting Vermont for many years and have stayed in many places but this was the most enjoyable of any. The owners make it what it is and that is just the Greatest! AND the Most Delicious Food ever in a B&B. Will look forward to another visit!

Very welcoming and wonderful breakfast. Met my needs and would stay again if in the area

The Baumann's are a wonderful couple, who provided us with a warm, cozy, family-like home, which we'll never forget! Rooms and whole house, were immaculate and soooo comfortable. They even welcomed us into their own kitchen for coffee and chat, as though we lived there! Roaring fire in the fireplace and being able to rest in the living room with bottle of wine; sitting out on the beautiful front porch; the peaceful setting of the garden and koi pond; and the breakfast, which we were able to choose from menus submitted by us night before, was scrumptuous! Everything fresh, locally grown, and homemade and served to us, lovingly. We didn't want to pass up on one single thing! Anything we needed was provided for us! Something else that is very important to us is that we also felt very secure, with keys for our room and front door, and knowing that they resided there, even though we had complete privacy. We will definitely return to this divine home as we feel we have made "friends for life" with Werner and Gisela Baumann!

Has anyone tried California Faucet's new tile drain? I love the idea of a seamless look in the shower. But I'm wondering if the water drains well, and what happens with hair that normally collects at the bottom of the drain? Would this setup be a problem with long hair? Does anyone have any experience they could share? It's pretty pricey, but I'm seriously considering the product and I don't want to make a mistake. I cannot seem to find any reviews online. I think this product is too new. |
Here is a link that might be useful: California Faucet StyleDrain Tile
Follow-Up Postings:
Haven't seen that one, but we just had a Schluter liner drain installed against one wall in our 3'x4' little shower. It is on an outside wall so it couldn't go right against the wall like the ones at the Schluter website. We had 2"x2" tiles so we chose the grid style, rather than a tile drain with the trough running around the outside of it like the one you pictured. Anyway, our's tapers down to a 2" drain hole that has an easily removable plastic hair catcher. -Babka Here's one using tile. |
- Posted by TXBluebonnet11 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 11:00
Thank you for your reply, Babka. Do you know how the removeable plastic hair catcher works on the Kerdi drain? Perhaps it is the same with the Calif. Faucet version. Our drain is standard and in the middle of the shower, so the Kerdi won't be an option for us. |
I've actually seen this unit, and yes, it does include a removable hair strainer. The tiled-in inner frame pops-off with an included plastic tool (to prevent scratching) which exposes the easily removable plastic hair strainer. You can see the detail of how it all goes together in Step 5 of the installation instructions (link below). Hope this helps. |

Thank you so much, Faucetguy. Your post is extremely helpful! Have you had any client feedback on the product? Does it drain water at the same rate as a standard drain? |
So far so good on client satisfaction. This drain is rated at approximately 10 gallons per minute; though "your mileage may vary" depending on the size of shower stall, slope, venting, drain pipe size, quality of work, etc. To be extra safe, I would recommend giving yourself a generous margin of error and not exceeding 7-8 gallons per minute output on your shower system for a single drain point. This should be more than sufficient for most standard showers with fixed shower head and separate handshower I'm not a plumber or technician, so maybe someone else wants to chime in on this point. |
Babka, what tile did you use in the shower? Did you match it with any particular granite for your vanities and tub deck? We're doing a similar color scheme and would love to see your combinations. |
No tub, just a shower. It is 12x24 porcelain. The shower floor is 2x2" porcelain, and the main floor is 24x24 porcelain, and the 5/8"mosaic is marble/glass. The 12"x48" bench and the vanity counter top is Ceasarstone quartz. I like the combination of white, black and gray because I can change the color of my towels on a whim. ;-) -Babka |
Hi Babka, can you tell me what cabinet was used for the vanity? We are going to use a linear drain in our shower but I don't know the brand yet. |
TXBluebonnet- Please forgive me for hijacking this thread. Sorry to get so far from the drain question. The cabinet is custom. I'll post those details in a new post when the bathroom is finished, so you can get answers to YOUR original question here. I really like the look of the drain you are considering. Envious that you can get more than 2.5 gpm where you live...unlike California. -Babka |
- Posted by TXBluebonnet11 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 29, 13 at 14:01
Babka, no problem at all. Your bathroom looks wonderful! I wish I could have convinced my husband to install a linear drain when we were at that phase. So I was pleased to find an alternative that will give a somewhat seamless look with a traditional drain system. It won't be quite the same, but a lot closer! Please feel free to answer any questions posted. I love seeing all of the solutions that others have come up with. |
Anyone else used this drain? This is exactly what I was looking for. Are they sold online anywhere? I haven't been able to find a price on it. |
I am going to be using ACO Quartz brand, it found on line at the flooringsupplyshop.com they have linear and square, and you can buy a stainless steel hair catcher to use inside (although it can reduce flow). My plumber and tile guy seem to like it, they say very solidly made, we'll see when it's time to install! |
Laticrete makes a tile-in grate to go with their Hydroban flanged drain. You can see a video of the whole system here, they talk about the tile in grate at about 4:45 into the video. The tile-in drain grate, which comes with the flanged drain, goes for about $100. I've used them, a nice system. Infinity makes them. See their linear and square ones in several different sizes. Nice quality. I've used the ones you install with a topical membrane, the 8" square and the 4" round. Going with the any of the above also gives you the added benefit of a topical membrane. Luxe makes a version of them for both standard and linear drains. Never used it though. It's designed to be used with a typical CPE membrane, with the membrane embedded between two layers of deck mud. Schluter has one as well, but I've not ever held it in my hands. I think EBBE makes one as well. But I've never used one. |
This is the one we have. It drains well and is very easy to clean. |

"Hay Carts to the High Frontier" - a history of transportation, in LEGO
Posted by bluemoose,This weekend (Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th October), members of the UK AFOL group, the Brickish Association, are running a two-day event in conjunction with the UK National Space Centre in Leicester, with a theme of the history of transportation. The event is is known as "Hay Carts to the High Frontier", and covers transportation from prehistoric times to the distant future. It's a smaller event than the recent Great Western Lego Show, but there will be new models to see.
Full details can be found here - Hay Carts to the High Frontier at the National Space Centre.

Good luck with the event bluemoose, I'm sorry I can't make it.
The NSC website is a bit shocking, isn't it!
Cool! Maybe there will be telepotation devices so i can go to all the cool UK lego show's, and vice-versa! :P
Nice exhibition ! I visited today (Saturday) and spent a couple of hours looking at the models and chatting to some of the builders as well as checking out some of the excellent exhibits at the space museum itself.
I'll post further thoughts and a few pics on my blog (www.gimmelego.blogspot.com) when I have time (probably Monday) if you want to know more.
Commenting has ended on this article.

Schroeder: An opportunity, and a challenge for UO women
From today's editions:
Just before tip-off, Paul Westhead turned to an assistant.
"If this doesn't get you excited," the coach said, "what does?"
Well, this did. Anyone at Matthew Knight Arena on Sunday afternoon — any of the 12,320 at the new building — had to feel the buzz, something very unusual.
This was women's hoops, and almost every seat was filled — a Pac-10 record — and it was a festival.
"I never thought in a million years I'd play in front of 12,000 people," Oregon guard Kristi Fallin said.
Did anyone?
But on a beautiful, sunny afternoon, thousands decided the best action was inside. People chanted "Let's go Ducks!" Everyone did the wave. Also, the "Kiss Cam" was a big hit.
The game was pretty good, too.
Oregon outlasted Oregon State, 81-72.
And that's very important. Because even as we had a unique, "phenomenal" experience — it's athletic director Rob Mullens' word, but it fits — we had something else: a glimpse of what could be.
Understand, Sunday was a $2 tour. Ultra-cheap tickets provided an enticing incentive for people to explore the new building — and oh, by the way, there was a women's basketball game, too.
Oregon's hope is that some of the new fans liked what they saw on the court, and that they'll come back for more.
The Ducks' improbable dream is that one day big crowds like this are routine. Click here for the complete column.

Welcome to Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest city located along a scenic backdrop of majestic mountains. It's no coincidence that the city has made its way onto many "best of" lists over the years for its laid-back atmosphere and abundance of outdoor recreation. There's always something happening here!

Home to the Central New Mexico Community College, this neighborhood welcomes many young families, students and empty nesters. Many homes in the Old Town neighborhood and downtown are listed on the U.S National Register of Historic Places, making both areas ideal for people looking for a bit of character in their rentals. Nob Hill is another great neighborhood for students seeking Albuquerque apartments for rent, as the University of New Mexico is located here.

Lightening Up (and Moisturizing, Too)
I get to try many different face creams, and sometimes I break out from trying too many brands in too short a time. However, it is very good for the skin to switch creams, especially during a change of the seasons, or when you are holidaying in a different climate.
I tend to like gel creams because of my slightly oily skin, and I find these products to absorb into the skin a bit faster than cream creams. They don't feel greasy and are usually light in texture, which I like. They also have a slight lifting effect.
Can I tell you about two of my favorite gel creams? One is Givenchy's Power Youth and the other is Amorepacific's Hydra Gel.Givenchy's Power Youth is hydrating and helps skin regain lipid film. It also revitalizes skin functions. You should use it when you see the first signs of aging—you know, when you begin to notice those little fine lines, and then they start getting a little longer and deeper. You get the picture. Start early—it won't hurt you, and, ladies, please do not forget about your neck. Start lathering it on in your mid-20s. You won't be sorry.
Amorepacific's Refreshing Hydra Gel is fantastic. It's such a non-fussy, easy gel cream that even my husband is hooked on it. When I can't find it on my side of the bathroom cabinet, it's often sitting on his side. Its main ingredient is green-tea extract, which will keep your skin looking supple all day long. Green tea works on a time-release system, emitting a small amount of natural caffeine throughout the day. (This is unlike coffee, which gives you a jolt.)
While you're at it, spritz yourself with Amorepacific's Moisture Bound Skin Energy Spray. I always mist after applying my makeup in the morning, which sets the makeup. I literally look moisturized all day long. When you go out in the evening, after a little touchup, do the same. You will look ageless all night. If you are looking for Amorepacific products, check out the brand's beauty gallery and spa in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. It's very beautiful, and you can explore Amorepacific's entire range. It's a worthwhile trip.

Sure, we debate about it all day long, but how many of us understand what is being debated. Many economics majors can't explain this stuff, and I would like an expert opinion. I don't want articles slanting to go one way or the other, but just explaining the rationale behind these ideas from an economists' standpoint.

I saw this polish at CVS and decided to buy it; I wanted something different. I read these reviews after the purchase, and after the application. Therefore, I was constantly checking for the polish to start chipping. Well, five days later, not a single chip! Although I admit that I do not like the brush, bad news there. However, I just think I am lucky with the base and top coats that I use, which seem to make my manicure last for a month if necessary.
First, I apply Opi Chip Skip to clean, dry nails. Then I use Cutex Basework base coat. Apply two coats of polish. Then finish with Essie No Chips Ahead top coat. Always make sure to let each coat of polish dry thoroughly. Every few days I will apply Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Fast Dry top coat. This may sound like a lot of time and work, but it is worth it for me because I do not have the time and patience to constantly manicure my nails.
I think if you try my system, you will find that you can make any manicure last a long, long time.
Also, be sure to have nail polish thinner on hand for any polishes that get thick and hard to work with. NOT nail polish remover, nail polish thinner.

Two coats to opaque for me, fast drying, and an amazing holiday-worthy purple-red-gold shine. Despite the name not too frosty. The brush isn't great, but the price mitigates that.

Just put it on & looks awesome! Nice coverage with one coat even.

Quiet surprised by this polish! Perfect color for the holiday season, not too frosty...decent brush, not streaky, and chipped on day 3! Keep in mind I always apply a base, two coats of polish, top coat and Sech Vite. For the price I'm not complaining!

Lovely burgundy shimmer (not frosty). Needed three coats for opaque. Started to chip the next day, with Poshe as a topcoat. Not nice after all that work applying it. The brush was ok. Update, one year later: tried with new basecoat + Seche, and no chipping now. One more lippie, and would buy again. Two coats for opaque.

Burgundy Frost is an absolutely beautiful color standing by itself. I happened upon this in a CVS while checking out the Wet n Wild rack and picked up a bottle for 74 cents. Couldn't beat that price! My manicures chip whether I use OPI or a cheaper polish, thus the 4 lippie rating. I used 3 coats to achieve a beautiful deep burgundy with gold flecks. I used a gold crackle on top when it started chipping to keep the manicure a few days longer.

Gorgeous slightly metallic burgundy color at a can't beat price ($1.99 at Duane Reade!). Looks nice if you're in a pinch and in need of a sophisticated looking color before a dinner or event. However, it doesn't last beyond 2 days, even with a top coat. Speaking of top coats, it kind of "melts" under it, as it smudged very easily after I applied it and forced me to redo half my nails over, which has never happened when I applied my top coat over OPI and Essie. Well, you get what you pay for. Like I said, it's handy in a pinch; so keep it around at the office just in case you need to cover up gnarly nails before happy hour.

This polish caught my eye while I was browsing in CVS. It's such a pretty classy color and I just had to get it. The color payoff is excellent! One coat would be enough if you wanted a lighter red and two coats will give you a deep burgundy color. I just painted my nails so I will update on the lasting power.
I am sad to say that I have to lower my rating. :( I find that this polish has begun to chip off my nails already only after a day! This is really disappointing because it's such a pretty color.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a really pretty, dark red, with a slight golden undertone. I just put 3 coats of it on my nails, and it looks real nice! What I love about this nail polish is it's formula. It's not a thick consistency, and it dries super quick! Overall, real nice polish.
I'm currently wearing this polish alone, but think it would look even better with black crackle nail polish as a top coat. I imagine these lovely little shiny burgundy veins running over my nails. On its own, the color is classic and polished, but it definitely isn't unique. The applicator brush, as other reviewers have mentioned, is thin and stiff, which makes getting full coverage without staining the skin impossible.

The department worked to strengthen cooperation and dialogue with North Asian countries and promote Australia's economic, political and strategic objectives in the region.
The department's efforts to expand bilateral economic ties with Japan, China and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have taken high priority and resulted in the signing of Framework Agreements with China and Japan. This means greater opportunities for Australian companies and consolidates Australia's overall economic position in the region.
North Asia is a region of great strategic—as well as economic—importance to Australia. The department's consultation and cooperation with China, Japan, the ROK, and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), contributed to regional strategic imperatives of maintaining stability on the Korean peninsula and across the Taiwan Strait. We contributed to international efforts to bring about a nuclear weapon-free Korean peninsula—a key international security objective—through ongoing bilateral and multilateral efforts to persuade the DPRK to abandon its nuclear weapons programs.
The department continued to fortify the bilateral relationship with Japan. Our common security interests underpinned close cooperation on counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation and defence exchange. Trade and economic relations remained strong and were positioned to expand with the establishment of the Trade and Economic Framework.
Australia's national economic and strategic interests were well-served by the strengthening of our bilateral relationship with China which, despite internal difficulties, continued to grow in importance in both economic and strategic terms. Following the challenges of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis in the previous year, there was a vibrant exchange of visits including at the most senior levels in 2003–04. Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to Australia in October 2003 illustrated the unprecedented strength of the bilateral relationship. The economic relationship expanded through the signing of a Trade and Economic Framework, and agreement on a joint feasibility study towards a possible bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), expected to be completed in the first half of 2005.
The department's efforts to advance core aspects of Australia's security, trade and economic and people-to-people links with Japan produced a number of significant outcomes. The result will be stronger bilateral relations and advances in Australia's national security and economic interests.
High-level contact and exchange continued to be a major feature of the relationship, highlighted by the Prime Minister's visit to Japan in July 2003, which was supported by the department. The major outcomes of the visit were:
- the signing by Mr Howard and his counterpart, Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi, of the Australia–Japan Trade and Economic Framework, which was negotiated by the department
- the release of a Joint Statement on Cooperation to Combat International Terrorism, which was developed by the department
- the announcement of Australia's participation in the 2005 Aichi Expo (see Administered items for Outcome 3 on page 202)
- agreement by both Prime Ministers to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with a series of exchange events and activities.
The department worked closely with stakeholders to implement the Trade and Economic Framework through a joint working group, established in December 2003. A draft study, due by July 2005, will examine the effect of the framework's trade and investment liberalisation provisions. The framework's business-facilitation agenda includes commercial and policy links in 11 sectors. We supported the signing of instruments in five of these areas—energy and minerals cooperation; customs cooperation; mutual recognition of engineer qualifications; investment promotion; and information economy and information and communications technology industry cooperation.
The department continued its leading role in implementing follow-up action to the second Australia–Japan Conference (a process initiated by the Prime Minister and then-Prime Minister Obuchi). A number of positive developments linked to the conference should deepen and broaden bilateral dialogue and cooperation. They include:
- the convening of a security dialogue involving both officials and non-officials
- Austrade's hosting of an Australian Aged Care Seminar in Tokyo in January 2004
- continuing work to facilitate contacts between the education sectors in Australia and Japan.
The department focused on building more ambitious economic ties with China, highlighted by the conclusion of a Trade and Economic Framework and agreement to launch a feasibility study on a possible free trade agreement.
The department provided support for Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to Australia in October 2003. The visit marked a new high in the relationship. Australia was one of the first countries President Hu visited after his inauguration in early 2003, indicating the strong relations Australia had already forged with the new leadership in China, including through the Prime Minister's visit in August 2003. It also reflected the importance China places on bilateral ties with Australia.
During President Hu's visit, Mr Downer and Mr Vaile held productive discussions with Chinese Foreign Minister, Mr Li Zhaoxing, and National Development and Reform Commission Chairman, Mr Ma Kai. Ministers presided over the signing of several bilateral agreements during the visit, including:
- the Trade and Economic Framework
- an agreement establishing the Australia–China Natural Gas Technology Fund
- a commercial agreement foreshadowing another prospective liquefied natural gas (LNG) deal.
The conclusion of the Trade and Economic Framework with China was a significant achievement. It sets the agenda for strengthening economic and trade relations over the next decade.
The department supported the visit to Australia by Politburo member and Minister of the Communist Party of China Publicity Department, Liu Yunshan, in September 2003. Mr Liu's visit deepened links with China's senior leadership. It allowed us to advance Australian media interests in China and introduce Mr Liu to Australian expertise in the area.
In November 2003, the department established the China FTA Study Taskforce to take forward the joint government FTA feasibility study. Mechanisms include consultations with government agencies, state and territory governments, industry groups, businesses and other stakeholders. We sought public submissions on the study by June 2004. Preliminary progress was made through regular meetings of senior officials and a joint working group on the feasibility study.
The department promoted expansion of Australia's strategic partnership with China in energy and resources. It supported Mr Vaile's visit to China in April 2004 in which he promoted Australian LNG suppliers' efforts to win further multi-billion dollar supply contracts. State ministers and Australian business representatives participated in the visit. At the tenth Joint Ministerial Economic Commission in April 2004, the two sides agreed to improve market access opportunities and to cooperate more closely on regional and global trade liberalisation and facilitation issues.
The department's engagement with China on strategic issues contributed to regional and global efforts towards stability. We underlined the importance of China maintaining a constructive and active role in six-party talks on the DPRK nuclear issue and for continued international cooperation on this and other strategic issues. We held discussions with China on key security matters such as counter-terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) at bilateral regional security talks, held in March 2004 in Beijing. We closely monitored events surrounding the Taiwan 'presidential' election—notably in relation to implications for Australian interests—and played an active role in urging both sides to exercise restraint. This contributed to international efforts to reduce the risk of misunderstanding, which could lead to heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait.
Our human rights advocacy in China included representations through the embassy in Beijing and during visits. We also engaged China in frank and constructive discussions at the seventh annual bilateral Human Rights Dialogue, held in Beijing in July 2003. China's greater openness was reflected in two ways: in its convening of a joint press conference on the dialogue, and by the Chinese side arranging for the Australian delegation to travel to Tibet to raise human rights concerns directly with local authorities there (see sub-output 1.1.7 for further information).

Republic of Korea (ROK)
The Prime Minister's visit to Seoul in July 2003—supported by the department—provided an opportunity to reaffirm Australia's strong commitment to the bilateral relationship and our concern to bring about a nuclear weapon-free Korean peninsula.
The Prime Minister and ROK President Roh agreed to expand bilateral economic and trade cooperation and maintain bilateral cooperation on finding a peaceful resolution to the DPRK nuclear issue. The Prime Minister promoted Australia as a reliable and secure LNG supplier to meet the ROK's long-term needs.
The department strengthened our practical and mutually beneficial links with the ROK, particularly through support for Mr Vaile in hosting the Third Ministerial Joint Trade and Economic Commission (MJTEC 3) in September 2003 with ROK Minister for Trade Mr Hwang Doo-yun. Discussions moved beyond a checklist of bilateral market-access issues. The focus was on policy-oriented dialogue on key global and regional economic and trade issues, and the future of the bilateral economic relationship. Ministers exchanged perspectives on existing and emerging trade complementarities, domestic economic reform agenda, and the 'new industries' of information technology and communications, biotechnology and services.
Though the ROK's protection of its agricultural sector continued to prevent a comprehensive FTA with Australia, ROK officials at MJTEC 3 noted the will that existed on both sides to ensure our bilateral trade and economic links develop to their full potential.
Senior department officials met their counterparts on six separate occasions in Seoul and Canberra. These meetings helped consolidate bilateral cooperation on political, military and nuclear policy issues, including Iraq, WMD proliferation, human rights, counter-terrorism and regional economic and legal developments.
The department worked closely with the ROK in 2004 to shape the APEC agenda in anticipation of the ROK's year as APEC host in 2005. In May 2004 we held the first round of negotiations with the ROK regarding the further opening of its rice market. Under WTO rules the ROK is required to finalise negotiations by the end of 2004 if it wishes to retain limits on the quantity of rice it imports.
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)
The DPRK's pursuit of nuclear weapons programs, and the resulting threat of instability on the Korean peninsula and in the region more generally, continued to dominate Australia's relations with the DPRK.
Mr Downer had put on hold the development of Australia's relations with the DPRK following its October 2002 admission that it had a uranium enrichment program in breach of its international obligations. The department worked to ensure the DPRK Government understood that bilateral relations could not develop further until the DPRK made progress in dismantling its nuclear weapons programs.
Mr Downer sent a senior officials' delegation to the DPRK in January 2004 to register with the DPRK Government, including Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun, Australia's continuing concerns over its pursuit of nuclear weapons and other WMD. The DPRK was urged back to the six-party talks on the nuclear issue involving the two Koreas, China, the United States, Japan and Russia. The DPRK Government informed the delegation of its intention to attend the second round of six-party talks, which took place in Beijing in February 2004.
To further encourage the DPRK's continuing engagement in the six-party process, Australia's Ambassador-designate to the DPRK, Dr Alan Thomas, visited Pyongyang in April 2004 to present credentials. The Australian Government had delayed doing this for one year to underline its concern over the nuclear issue.
In addition to direct bilateral dialogue, Australia co-sponsored a resolution carried by the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva in April 2004 on the human rights situation in the DPRK. The department also worked closely with regional partners, and supported Mr Downer, at the ASEAN Regional Forum, to ensure the DPRK understood the extent of international concern over its nuclear programs.
We continued to work closely with law enforcement and other government agencies on the investigation of, and legal process covering, the DPRK vessel, the PongSu, which was allegedly involved in trafficking illegal narcotics into Australia in April 2003.

Economic relationships in North Asia
In addition to our work to implement the Trade and Economic Framework (see page 29) the department worked with industry and other agencies to protect and advance our trade and investment interests in Japan.
In July 2003, Japan announced that it would implement its beef safeguard measure, raising tariffs on fresh and chilled beef to 50 per cent (up from 38.5 per cent). The department supported Mr Vaile and Mr Downer in urging their Japanese counterparts to review the measure. Despite strong international pressure from Australia and other countries Japan did not withdraw the measure.
In a further development in our beef trade, Japan imposed in December 2003 a ban on US beef imports following the detection of a case of BSE in the US herd. US beef accounted for 46 per cent of Japanese imports in 2003. The department worked with industry to respond to Japanese Government and industry requests to overcome shortfalls left by the United States' departure from the market.
We liaised with industry over a Japanese requirement for residue testing of all Australian blueberry exports—imposed following isolated breaches of Japan's regulations of residues. The ban was lifted in December 2003 following a visit to Australia by officials from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
The department supported a visit to Japan by Mr Macfarlane, Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources, and Mr Kevin Foley, Deputy Premier of South Australia, to urge senior representatives of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation to keep their manufacturing base in Australia as part of their corporate revitalisation plan. The company subsequently announced it would continue manufacturing in Australia, although it would reduce its workforce and close its engine plant.
The department continued to support the minerals and resources industry by providing market intelligence on electricity industry developments, monitoring the policy debate on possible introduction of an environment tax and, for the first time, including the private sector in the High Level Group on Minerals and Energy—the principal forum for energy and minerals cooperation between Australia and Japan.

In addition to the Trade and Economic Framework (see page 30), the department supported a number of trade and economic achievements in China. They included:
- conclusion of bilateral agreements covering investment promotion and cooperation on food safety, education, quarantine and water resources
- implementing administrative arrangements for the $25 million Australia–China Natural Gas Partnership Technology Partnership Fund following Australia LNG's landmark $25 billion gas deal in 2002
- conclusion of the China National Offshore Oil Corporation–Gorgon LNG Agreement—a major step towards a second multi-billion dollar gas deal
- signature of agreements by Aldoga Aluminium Smelter and its Chinese partners—raising the prospect of significant growth in aluminium exports to China
- management of amendments to Australia's anti-dumping regime, in consultation with China, Australian industry and state and federal governments. This strengthened the bilateral trading relationship while ensuring that Australian industry continued to have effective protection from unfair international trade pricing practices.

The department pursued a range of market access issues with the ROK and continued to support the expanding bilateral commercial relationship. We supported efforts by the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources to conclude a bilateral energy treaty by the end of 2004. We also supported the Joint Energy Committee Meeting in Seoul in February 2004.
The department's advocacy supported a number of Australian commercial achievements in the ROK including:
- working closely with Australian LNG suppliers, NWS-ALNG, Gorgon ALNG and Woodside Energy, including in their opening of offices in Seoul—a major step forward in positioning Australia to supply Korea's LNG needs
- working with Austrade to realise the potential of Korea as a significant wine market for Australia, resulting in a doubling of exports to over $5 million in 2003
- lifting quarantine restrictions on a range of products including Tasmanian fruit and vegetables and some meat products
- facilitating the expansion of Macquarie Bank's operations in the ROK
- hosting Korean rice market liberalisation talks in Canberra in May 2004, a dairy forum in Seoul in June 2004 and, also in June 2004, visits by Korean authorities to Australia to investigate quarantine and certification systems.

In support of Australia's economic interests in Taiwan, the department concentrated on existing and emerging opportunities flowing from Taiwan's accession to the WTO. We were active in facilitating market access in the agriculture sector—a strong traditional market for Australian exports—and in promoting emerging opportunities for legal and educational service providers.
Our representations resulted in quarantine and administrative decisions that cut regulatory difficulties for Australian exporters. This was particularly beneficial for pet food and cut flower exports. Our representations to secure improved intellectual property law in Taiwan were successful—their amended legislation provides strengthened intellectual property protection for Australian business in Taiwan.
The department contributed to the following:
- promotion of Australia's capabilities across a range of sectors during the annual Joint Australia–Taiwan Business Councils meeting in October 2003
- an April 2004 memorandum of understanding (MOU) on intellectual property rights and a mutual recognition arrangement on electromagnetic cooperation, scheduled to be signed in July 2004
- high-level representations in support of better access for Australian commodities such as sugar, rice, uranium and LNG.

We helped Hong Kong-based Australian companies secure significant trade and investment opportunities and take advantage of the upturn in Hong Kong's economy after the easing of the SARS crisis. Our promotion efforts focused on trade in services such as construction and education.
Our most notable achievements during the year included:
- facilitating air services negotiations that doubled the number of flights between Hong Kong and Australia and increased onward flights from Hong Kong to Europe
- hosting the first high-level visit by a Macau Government official, which helped win contracts for Australian firms in Macau
- initiating a $4.5 million three-year tertiary exchange scholarship program, managed by the Department of Education, Science and Technology, and jointly funded by a major Hong Kong investment company.

The city of Valencia, Spain, says it will take legal action against architect Santiago Calatrava after chunks of mosaic façade fell off the Palau de les Arts in high winds. Authorities closed the opera house—the centerpiece of the Calatrava-designed City of Arts and Sciences that opened eight years ago—to the public until further notice, according to the Telegraph. Blaming "construction defects," the government is suing Calatrava for the cost of repairs.
The Telegraph reports that the complex first began showing signs of aging a year ago. Wrinkles appeared on the opera house's smooth white exterior comprising thousands of small mosaic tiles, but the problem was attributed to a design fault.
The City of Arts and Sciences is the latest in a series of projects proving problematic for Calatrava. Owners of the Bodegas Ysios winery are suing the architect over a continuously leaking roof, while pedestrians have injured themselves on the glass tile surface of a footbridge leading to the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. In Venice, authorities are suing Calatrava and engineers for cost overruns and excessive repairs to the Ponte della Costituzione footbridge across the Grand Canal.

I had a paint job by a family friend who claimed to know everything; maybe he does, but it did not turn out good. Blotches, smears, and other inconsistencies. He applied paint+primer one coat, and patched up holes but the areas really look very different than the rest of the wall which has texture to it. I don't know how it got that texture; whether from the roller or as he says, it was that way before on the drywall. But ... the patches are smoother and definitely not uniform with the rest of the wall. I don't know how he did it; how he smoothed them out before painting. My question is: because it's such a bad paint job in my opinion, I'm wondering if it would be easier if I were to get a knockdown texture. I don't want knockdown, but there are plenty of things I don't want and must accept anyway. So would knockdown applied over the recently painted but blemished wall serve to cover up many blemishes? It's a condo apartment and like I say I'm not too keen to get a knockdown texture, but a gal's gotta do what she's gotta do. What do you think I should do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you should hire someone to fix the mess your friend made. It's not difficult to fix. You could do it yourself with the right information, skills and equipment. But if you got someone else to do the basic painting, then it doesn't sound like you are the type of person who wants to tackle a problem like this. I don't mean that as an insult. Some people love doing stuff like this, others don't. |
I don't mind answering you. I would have liked to have done the job myself. But I am over 65 with arthritis and bad knees. Thanks for the encouragement (I mean that) that I might possibly be able to do some things for myself. I'm going to try and plug up some of the holes in the rest of the apt. before the painter comes in. |

I'm going to try and plug up some of the holes in the rest of the apt. before the painter comes in. Speaking as a painter DON'T do that! Let the painter do it, it is part of his or her job and they will do it better and faster. |
i agree- hire someone that knows that they are doing |
- Posted by southerngal25 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 29, 11 at 15:11
I definitely would not get knockdown if you don't want it. I agree with the others...it can be fixed. Anytime you patch a place on a sheetrock wall, it will look different. The patched place should be primed 1st trying to match the same texture as the other part of the wall (sometimes primed twice). Then you can roll on the paint (will take more than one coat in that patched area). |
Dont plug up the holes. This is a very simple job for a painter and it makes a big difference in the finished product. It it not expensive for them to do a little bit of patching and spackeling before they paint. |

Our Many Shades of Green
At Hotcards, were known for our bold, full color political printing, but did you know that we print green, too? Printing green means choosing low-VOC inks, using responsibly milled paper, and working to eliminate chemical waste. For us, green printing also means partnering with all-American suppliers wherever possible, and ordering in bulk to keep the environmental costs of transportation low. Like red, white, and blue, green isnt just a color, its a commitment to making choices that are good for our employees, our customers, the community, and the environment. And believe it or not, we do this without compromising on quality or affordability. See for yourself by obtaining a sample pack of our products.
We used recycled stock wherever possible. We also order in bulk so that fewer deliveries need to be made to our Hotcards locations each year, further reducing carbon emissions. We also offer uncoated, recycled stock to meet all your green printing needs!
Vegetable Ink
We use vegetable, rather than petroleum-based inks. Like soy-based inks, vegetable-based inks are made using a renewable resource, and are low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). This means that our inks create less toxic waste than petroleum-based inks, and reduce harmful emissions in the workplace.
Reducing Emissions
We, along with our suppliers operate state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment that reduces waste with the turn of each cylinder. These multimillion dollar machines are an investment in quality and efficiency.
We recycle 100% of our scrap paper, which not only significantly reduces our carbon emissions, but also saves natural resources used in milling virgin paper. The paper waste recycled by Hotcards saves thousands of trees each year, and millions of gallons of water and kilowatts of electricity. When we make eco-friendly choices like recycling the results are amazing!
Eliminating Waste
Printing is an industry where every little bit helps, thats why we do the majority of our business online. By billing our customers electronically, and asking that our vendors bill us electronically, we eliminate waste paper involved in billing, speed service, and send a message: green choices are good for the planet AND good for business!

This "What to Do" series was very useful to me as a parent. It explains complex psychological ideas at a child's level without condescending to them and then attempts to help them learn how deal with those strong emotions.
I purchased this book and What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What to Do Guides for Kids) after my 5-year old was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. It has helped her and her then 8-year old brother work through the many adjustments in our family after the diagnosis. We went through the book together and then talked about the activities that might help them deal with how they felt. The simple, clear explanations were a great starting point for discussion. Not everything "worked" nor did we focus on "solving" these emotions--rather we used the books to help the kids see that they are not alone and that there are things they can do when they feel... read more
This book tackles an unusual and important topic for children- negativity. In a fun and very child-friendly format, the author uses metaphors, stories, and examples to explain to children what negativity is and how they can transform their negative thinking into more positive thinking. The learning is reinforced by fun activities and art experiences. As a mother and social worker, I strongly recommend this book to other parents, social workers, and guidance counselors.
I wanted this workbook to engage my therapy clients better than it did. They didn't throw the book at me, but it only held their interest for about10 minutes and most do not care too much to color or draw where the workbook calls for it. I agree with them, in that the interactive part of the book (the you-fill-it in part) is not compelling. HOWEVER, the subject matter is not really covered in any other therapeutic workbook that I have seen/reviewed/owned. The main topic is of negativity vs. positivity in a child's daily life. Great for kids with depression, anger problems, anxiety disorders, and ...the average kids!

Playtime! With these from the Domestic Goddess
T-shirts that play music, dog toys that also amuse humans and a sleek outdoor shower.
Pacific NW associate editor
PRAISE BE TO March, which along with giving us National Bubble Week (look it up!) brings us, with great hope, an enthusiastic spring. Maybe we'll have some of that new global warmth between now and July, maybe not. Either way, we could all benefit from a little fun right about now. So, go out and play with your friends.
Suit up
And be your own one-man band just by fiddlin' with the playable electronic T-shirts from ThinkGeek.
Latest to the collection (Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt, Drum Kit Shirt and Personal Soundtrack Shirt) is the Electronic Music Synthesizer Shirt. A real playable music synthesizer with 25 keys right on your chest. Anybody for a rousing rendition of "She Blinded me with Science"? The synth shirt has prerecorded sample sounds: sounds of the 1980s, "Close Encounters" music, evil synth sounds, slap bass and grand piano. Wearable retro-style mini amp box is included. Adult sizes.
For the little rock gods, there is the Guitar Shirt and Drum Kit Shirt. Each button on the neck of the guitar plays a major chord, for cranking out tunes like "Smoke on the Water" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." Comes with magnetic pick for strumming. Seven different drums on Drum Shirt. $29.99-$39.99. Find at thinkgeek.com.
Isn't it prefabulous?
If you are the hearty sort who enjoys a good outdoor tromp this time of year, perhaps you might also enjoy a nice steamy shower there, too. You're in luck: Oborain the outdoor shower. The folks there "celebrate the aliveness of showering outdoors."
This modern prefab outdoor shower weaves steel, wood, water and air for "the ultimate outdoor shower experience." Showers (Solo, Duo or Trio) are made by hand in Massachusetts and are easy to assemble and plumb. Decks are cumaru, a sustainably harvested Brazilian hardwood. Panels are dark red meranti, a hardwood from Malaysia certified by the Malaysian Timber Council. Fits into backyard or beach. A full-enclosure Solo with Hansgrohe Croma Green Thermostatic Showerpipe is $5,200. Solo with Axor Citterio Thermostatic Showerpipe is $5,900. Go without a door and peel $900 off the bill. Find at www.oborain.com.
Fetching good fun
How can you do this to your dog? How can you not do this for your dog?
The Humunga Stache rubber fetch toy. Delight your best canine friend with a fun run in the park; delight yourself when he fetches you a rubber ball attached to a mustache (or the Humunga Tongue or Lips). It's humungalarious.
Who thinks of such a thing? Michele Levan of Philadelphia. "I don't know, I'm just crazy," says the Ruler of Humunga. "I always have good ideas when I'm falling asleep, but I'm too lazy to get up and get a pen. When I came up with this I thought, I hope I remember it in the morning. I did!"
Inspiration for tongue, product No. 1, was dearly missed dog Sweetie. "I used to have this photo of her right by my desk. She had a lot of personality, and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth in the picture." Mustache and lips are a natural extension of product line.
Inquiring mind asked if Levan must always have a dog. "Duh-yeeaah!" Thus, the current crop, mutt Foxy, goldendoodle Muppet.
Toys are solid natural rubber and come in sizes; $12 each, plus shipping.
Find at local pet stores such as Soggy Doggy, 21839 Marine View Dr., Renton; Urban Dogs, 2036 Bellevue Square; also at www.moodypet.com.
Reach out to The Goddess at email@example.com. The Goddess is also very Pinteresting. Find her there at http://pinterest.com/rtea/.

If there is need for a european 'private sync' server, then we have plenty of bandwith for that connected right to the AMSIX in amsterdam, which we will be glad to donate (ehm still need to run that by the board, but using more bandwith will give the research network more reasons to upgrade us sooner, so usually the board is just fine with stuff like this :) ) However we cannot donate a dedicated server atm. The reason for this is quite simple, in that our budgets and mission plan basically say that any 'spending' should be done for the benefit of the local university community. A public sync/ftp server falls into this category since it allows our students to experiment with different types of OS'es and stuff like that, which we like to encourage. a private server however does not fall into this category. greetings from Holland, DJ On 21 nov 2004, at 11:55, Rob Baxter wrote: > If you're willing to provide a dedicated mirror, step up to plate. > Until someone can dedicate a large amount of bandwidth to a euro based > mirror, there is not much that can be done. > > Rob > > Thomas Buntrock wrote: >>> Having a mirror in Europe will help greatly with this. >> You should have a mirror in Europe by now: I have synced against some >> other mirror and have a full complete portage and 'complete' by >> now: >> mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de >> providing rsync and http >> HTH >> Thomas >> -- >> firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list > > > -- > firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list > > > --- Universiteit Twente Derk-Jan Hartman (d.hartman at student.utwente dot nl) http://home.student.utwente.nl/d.hartman -- email@example.com mailing list

GE Refrigerator Clicking Noise From Back
Newer style GE refrigerators all use a motherboard on the back side of the refrigerator to control most of the functions on the refrigerator. If you start to hear a constant "clicking" sound every few seconds coming from the back side of the refrigerator, the motherboard might have failed. Pull the refrigerator out while it is still making the noise and listen to where the sound is coming from. You should see a panel on the back of the refrigerator, behind this panel is the control board (make sure not to touch the control board while the refrigerator is plugged in, you may get shocked or electrocuted).
Behind this panel is the control board.
If the noise seems to be coming from the control board, then the control board has failed and it will need to be replaced. GE does not sell replacement parts for the control board, so the whole control board must be replaced if there is a problem with the control board. When the control board fails it can cause the refrigerator not to run or cool. It also controls the water dispenser, fan motors, and more. Most of the GE & Hotpoint refrigerators use part number WR55X10942 control board. Some higher end GE model refrigerators with variable speed compressors use part number WR49X10152 for the control board. Replacing the motherboard is easy, and only takes about 15 minutes. Always be sure to look up the correct control board with the model number from the refrigerator first before ordering.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Next time, see if she'll let you wear your jersey
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I absolutely hate the way my wife dresses and walks now that she fancies herself an elite athlete. She has run a couple of marathons now and she dresses like she's going out for a run 24/7. Last night I took her out for a fancy dinner with friends and she wore an expensive running suit and running shoes. She loves it if someone asks her if she's an athlete and goes on to bore them about her marathon running "career." Ha! She's a clerk in a store as a career, for God's sake. What if I wore my hockey jersey from my casual hockey group, instead of a dress pants and shirt to go to a gourmet dinner? What is wrong with her tiny little brain? Talk about putting on airs and acting like something you're not. -- Disgusted Husband, Tuxedo
Dear Disgusted: Finally, your wife feels she has an identity. The store clerk job doesn't do it for her in her eyes (or yours) and she knows it. But, now she has a passion and a career as a marathon runner. People exclaim over amazing running ability and will ask about her upcoming race trips. She goes off to events that are dramatic and challenging. Unfortunately, she feels she has to wear a costume all the time to attract attention to this new identity. But a race suit worn to a fancy dinner is inappropriate. Next time you're going out somewhere formal and she puts on the running gear, ask her how she'd like it if you wore your hockey jersey. Make your point verbally, with gentle humour. But, if she insists on the running suit, put on your shirt, tie and hockey jersey and wear it just until you're ready to leave the house. By then, you might have made a deal with her to change.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm heartbroken. Myself and a number of friends used to be real close. We felt so at ease with each other that we could discuss our relationships openly, everything from money to work to sex. From out of nowhere, one of my friends' dads put a stop to it. He says it's because of his religion and what we were talking about was simply outrageous and not acceptable to him. It's not really right, but a few of us went behind her back and still discuss stuff, just without her involved. I feel torn. I know she's hurting not having us to talk to, but I also feel the need to continue sharing my feelings with these other people. She was the one who originally started the discussion group, so I almost feel like I am somehow cheating on her. Should I tell her, and hope maybe she sneaks behind her dad's back to join us again? -- Feeling Guilty, Winnipeg
Dear Feeling Guilty: You don't say how old you are, but you must not be yet be college age or we wouldn't be having this discussion. This dad has no right to stop anyone other than his daughter from doing anything. If she's not allowed to participate, that's no reason to shut her out as a friend, but you also should not rub it in her face that you still talk at a deeper level with the other friends in the group. There's a point at which people don't tell their parents everything and don't let their parents rule their lives. She will reach that point one day. Do you think she wants her father ruling your lives, too? Not likely! She just doesn't want you to ignore her and stop being friends with her.
