Rated 4 out of 5 by Traveler111111 Great location Nice facility and perfect location in Berlin Mitte. Close to many cultural and historical attractions as well as shopping. Underground just in front of the door February 7, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by Neve4 Bad smell 2014 To whom it may concern, I had 2 rooms on the 6th floor of this beautiful hotel and when I came to the end of the hallway near my room there was a horrible smell of sewage. It smelled as we entered our rooms which were opposite each other. I opened the window and the smell went away. I called the front desk the 1st day and they sprayed something into the air. The next day they sent a repair man and he first thought it was the drain in my room , her then could not figure it out. No one from the front desk called to verify if all was ok after each incident. This was not the call to action that I normally get from the Westin Hotel Group. January 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Papo STARWOOD GUESTS ARE NOT PREFERRED I really did not get the feeling that I was a gold SPG member. I've ordered a bottle of wine with strawberries in advance with the booking and i couldn't find it. then it came in with 6 strawberries... I've filled in the "Share yr thoughts" card to be given to the director, but then i have received the standard e-mail saying "Stay Well"... so nobody took care of my complaints. the room was in front of a crane with the jobsite underneath... The Xmas tree was wonderful, on top of the stairs! But no SPG Lounge! January 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Afoo One of the worst hotels in the SPG franchise that I've stayed in I'm a SPG platinum member and have stayed at numerous SPG hotels in the past. This hotel - Westin Grand Berlin, however, ranks as one of the worst compared to the quality that SPG is known to offer. Why? 1. Courtesy of service: Every time I request for help by dialing the Service Express, the staff always seems so hurried to put down the phone. There are times when before I finish request, they hang up. There was even once when I was saying "Thank you" mid-way when they rushed to put down the phone - ostensibly to answer another call. I went down to the Service Express desk once and realized they only have 1 person manning the line. Way too little for a hotel with so many rooms right? 2. Quality of process, thoughtfulness of service: Extremely poor in this respect. Westin is supposed to be a 4-5 star chain. But they don't offer toothbrushes or toothpaste in the room. You have to specifically ask for it. Worse still, after you ask for it, and finish using it, housekeeping does not bother replacing your finished toothpaste in the washroom even when I have a fully squeeze toothpaste left obviously on the basin counter. After I use their laundry bags to send in laundry to them, they don't replace the bags and the laundry form. I ask the staff why don't they do so about 4-5 times, and the response I get is, "I don't know". 3. Poor maintenance of facilities: There was one room I stayed in where the air-conditioner didn't work. It always blew warm air of the same temperature no matter how I adjusted the thermostat. 4. Room service food selection is horrible: The menu (not including alcohol) selection is extremely limited. They have 1 choice of anti-pasti, 3 types of soup, 5 mains. Surely the hotel doesn't expect its guests to be eating same thing over and over again. The above points are all only the most basic expected out of a decent 4-5 star hotel. There can be much more written about it, like the quality of furnishings, the selection of TV channels etc, but those are just extra - and I dare not hope for this yet, while the fundamentals of service in this hotel are not well-established.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Vianney Excellent and can be perfect This hotel is excellent and will be perfect if there is coffe facility inside the room January 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SistaOTravelinPants Extremely comfortable bed! Just needed a place to sleep for New Year's night. The Westin Grand Berlin has amazingly comfortable beds, fluffy pillows, and warm cozy comforters. I slept like a baby! Great location on Freidrichstrasse, a major shopping street in Berlin. Took a Garden View room which was very quiet and peaceful. Would've loved to use the Spa but it was New Year's and Spa was completely booked. Used the pool & hot tub which was super relaxing! January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RegM Christmas 2013 Nice hotel and well located. Easy to get to hotel by using public transportation. As a platinum, I was upgraded to a nice suite by using one of my suite award. Good location. December 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by AndrewBrooklyn Never again I've just checked in today to what they called an "upgraded room", nevertheless there was no bathtube in my room and the toilet was broken. When I called to the front desk I was told that they did me a favour (!) by giving me a bigger room, and if I wanted to get a bathtube I would have to move to a smaller, downgraded room. I did not hear any apologise for broken toilet and the only thing they offered was a downgrade. This is not a Starwood standard. December 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Apecalvin I have written nearly 30 reviews, none as negative as this! First of all, this hotel hardly feels like a Westin - its dated, classic decor feels heavy and... old. SPG should consider re-branding this property. And please also relook the uniforms of the front office staff - it's hardly flattering, especially for the women. We arrived at 9:30pm, got out of the cab, entered the hotel, and wheeled our bags right across the iobby, and not once were we greeted or welcomed or offered any assistance with our luggage until we were at the front desk. We were given a room on the third floor, facing the construction. The power lamps mounted on the crane outside shone right into our room! I complained and was given the opposite room, supposedly a garden-view room, but this time we were facing the roof vents of the hotel. It has taken us two flights to get here, how disappointing. We were told no other room was available, so we opted to keep our first room with the promise that we would be given a better room the next day. It wasn't until the next evening were we moved to a proper garden-view room on a higher floor. As an SPG platinum member for over ten years, I am always a bit wary when there's only one SPG property in the city. These hotels are often complacent - they never have to try too hard since loyal SPG members have no other options. I believe that an SPG hotel without an Executive Lounge MUST try harder at recognising its platinum guests. Here in Berlin, I have had to use my 500 welcome points to have breakfast. I won't insist on a suite, nor will I check if one is still available for sale on the website as soon as I get to my room, but the room I was given at check-in, on such a low floor, with the massive construction machine within meters away from my window, it's hardly the "best available room" in the house, is it? Hence I feel that there hasn't been any recognition for my status at all. This is easily the worst hotel of my four-city tour. And lastly, please be VERY cautious when approached by youngsters asking you to sign some kind of petition for the handicapped. They can be very persistent. We checked with the hotel later and were told that they are part of a pick-pocketing syndicate. The petition is just a way of distracting you. My partner's smartphone was lifted right of the coat pocket but we caught this just in time and the pickpocket deliberately dropped the phone on the ground and made a quick departure. The hotel management is well aware of the matter, as is the police (according to the hotel), but there is little they can do about it. The management should seriously consider a written advisory in each room, warning guests that these petty thieves are waiting for hotel guests just outside the hotel, and in some tourist attractions like the Brandenburg Gate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grog51 Best hotel for experiencing Berlin Location is fabulous. Close to anything the city has to offer in culture, shopping, hjstory, nightlife and restaurants.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sami198 Old times never cames back Unfourtunalelly I have a very discordant position to this hotel, about over 25 stays here since 2001. There was a big recunstruction at 2007: the large restaurant has gone away with his fantastic price/quality relation f.ex.the great wine list has gone away to Leipzig Westin, so the waiter me told later. You can"t imagine, that there were today a lot of other kind buisness affair romes .But this was a evantually economic desions, bad for our costumers. The space where the atriumis today, was much larger,n all was todally great, now there is nothing for a reclamation, but I remember the good old times... The breakfeast I have enjoyed over all restaurants in the starwood groups is the best even in this days, but the price has terriibly rised over the hill ! The old stuff, who nows me,is the reason,I will come back, is fantasic !!!! One good point is in the idoor-pool,who is a separat sauna for woman and men, what is normal in finland but not in germany. The security can been better, like in other hotels of this group: today it has been a MUST to go with the lift only with yours hotel card The blog will appear, so I hope, not like the review,i write about the Sheraton Offenbach this october,where was amoung of critisme.

Rated 1 out of 5 by burnt13 Awful customer service Cannot believe the service I received in this so-called five-star hotel. In short, I accidentally had tea poured over my head one morning at breakfast by the staff and in return got laughed at by the manager because i asked to be accommodated for being burnt as I wasn't even asked to get my shirt dry-cleaned nevertheless an apology by the manager. To add salt to the wound, the hotel GM gave me 5,000 points which I found it extremely insulting for my troubles. To paint you a picture of my state-of-mind, on the long-haul flight on this trip, the entertainment center was not functional during my flight and Delta gave me a 15,000 points (over $150 value) for the trouble (they didn't even physically hurt me like Westin did.) I really didn't expect a service like this from a hotel like Westin. I cannot begin to describe my feelings over this incident and how Westin staff handled the situation. The staff really needs some training in handling situations like this. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Club2430 Westin Berlin (alternative Club Lounge) In response to Anonymous (November 22) about the non existent Club Lounge. SPG are my primary hotel chain and I firmly believe in a 2 way relationship between service provider/guest. I may it my business to get to know GM and staff because the positive interaction is the only way any hotel really knows what their guests really need. In my case, GM's at the hotels I regularly visit know of my preferences and a Club Lounge is indeed very high. You are right, the Berlin hotel has no Club Lounge but the staff made an alternative solution very possible and extremely workable. I may sometimes be demanding, but I make sure to create positive interaction with management and the outcomes are that the SPG hotels just get better and better after each visit... (and no I do not work for Westin / SPG or any associated companies) November 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by mrcport Very Central Location Very quiet and comfortable hotel. There was construction on both the cross streets but one would never have known it. Breakfast was good quality and the staff was vey friendly and assisted us when we needed them. November 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiwisally Comfort and service My first time at the Westin Grand but it won't be my last. Comfortable, spacious rooms and excellent service especially from the concierges. Good breakfast. I liked the location although there was a lot of construction going on. November 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by fede85 This hotel has great features it is a beautiful hotel... November 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Elliott21 Good overall; wifi headache! Overall, I was very pleased with the hotel and its amenities. However, I was very dissatisfied with the internet process. I required 4 internet access keys (2 for each person in my reservation). I was granted 2 for the room using my last name and then I was required to go to the front desk EACH DAY to obtain a unique access code for the other two. Finally, on the last day (day 5), one of the staff members thought it would have been best to give me a 5 day pass. I'm not sure why they didn't provide this on day one. Even with the room access key, I was still required to renew my access code after about 8 hours. This proved to be annoying given that I would have to remember to log back in in order to receive emails. October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Intern62 Location and staff make this hotel. We loved the central location of this hotel in Mitte. We were ten minutes away from the Brandenberg Gate and the Tiergarten. The staff was excellent especially for English speaking visitors whose German is limited. They were consistently helpful and knowledgeable. October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Club2430 Another superb Westin A great hotel, with superb staff, led by a fabulously open and visible management team. This is my second visit to this hotel in 2013 and I can honestly say, this property just shot up to my equal first favourite Westin hotel. For me, what makes a perfect hotel: 1. clean 2. comfortable (heavenly bed) 3. polite (non gum chewing) staff who show you are special 4. high standards of food 5. able to deal with fussy guests (me) 6. good internet connections 7. executive lounge, which this hotel does not have, but an alternative was arranged 8. Central city location so places I need to go can be accessed on foot 9. Acceptable / fair room rates 10. when "challenges" occur, hotel are able to find immediate solutions. The Westin Berlin scored 100% in all of the above. Can not recommend this hotel highly enough.. October 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DPD88 Overall Westin Experience Overall the Westin was a nice hotel. Although hard to find, due to city construction, the overall look/feel of the hotel was nice and it is located in perfect central location. The room was spacious and comfortable. No issues with cleanliness either. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever seen. However, there were some issues with staff. Upon arrival, there was a receptionist who appeared to be new and the check-in was rather lengthy. After seeing the room, it was known that this was not the room we needed and had to re-engage with the receptionist to find us another room. Also, when departing, the valet staff took an extremely long time to bring the car. After 30 min. of waiting, we asked the valet staff how much longer and he replied 4 more min. and the car finally arrived. Nice hotel, however not the Westin standard I have been used to.

Rated 4 out of 5 by japatre Great location Nice hotel. Very well located in Berlin October 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dokester Great Hotel Perfectly Situated in Berlin The Westin Grand is perfect in so many ways. The staff and facilities are top-notch. The one exception is the absence of a Club Lounge or place to do internet work and relax. The wifi is fine, although you have to sign in again and again and again. And the breakfast is absurdly priced, but exceptional. In all, I couldn't imagine staying elsewhere -- and I did go into several hotels to compare. October 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GShosh eleagnt and calssy way to enjoy Berkin Excellent location with high level facilities makes you stay in Berlin at high class October 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Luvtrvl Good Location Surrounded by Construction Very nice hotel in shopping area of Berlin. Centrally located within walking distances of Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Wall, Jewish Museum and Holocaust Memorial. Hotel is warm and well maintained with some old world charm. We stayed in junior suite and it was quite lovely and well-appointed. It doesn't appear hotel receives too many English-speaking patrons as few of the "behind the scenes" staff were comfortable speaking anything but German. Caution: spa services are somewhat lacking. Facials were "different" from anywhere I've been and not worth price. Daughter had "mani/pedi that took over two hours that did NOT include foot massage or nail polish. When notified front desk staff, they credited 50€ but still wasn't worth it! Massage by Johann was amazing! Food in hotel caters to Germans and is overpriced. All said and done, would stay again minus mani/pedi and facials, and would eat elsewhere. October 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by rick05 Great Location / Disappointing Stay Easy/efficient check in. Great location. No clock in room. Asked for a clock -- "no". Had to go buy a clock. No Platinum upgrade, as the hotel was sold out (funny, at 8:00 pm there were suites available to book online -- hopefully some other Platinum member was given the upgrade, vs. leaving the suite empty). Very disappointing complimentary continental breakfast. I like an egg with my toast -- would have been an additional 14 Euro (ouch). When we checked out, we were asked about our stay. I said "disappointing", thinking a manager might ask "why?". I was wrong. There was not a follow up question or any concern. If we were not Platinum members who have stayed at numerous SPG hotels in Europe (including other Westin hotels), we probably would not have had such high expectations for the Westin Berlin. However, we have and this hotel does not measure up. October 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GShosh the comfort of being right tin the middle with top quality The interest sites of Berlin spread all over. Being right in the middle- Fredrich and Unter Den Linden- gives you access to all walking or commuting- with ease. Add to that a facility like the Westin and you can rest assure with your vacation / sightseeing. September 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Frank66 Worst Starwood stay No Executive Club. On check in I was told Platinum benefits do not apply when using starpoints for the stay so I should not be concerned. That is a new and unsatisfactory experience. Therefore used suite upgrade awards and had a room like a prison cell with one small window in the lounge. No window in the bedroom at all. Room attendant ringing on the door at 8:10 am to service room. Refused to provide a bottle of water for each of us (myself and wife in room with me). The best thing about the stay was the breakfast which was definitely good. September 27, 2013

Montpelier, Vt. - Carpooling, higher fuel economy, hybrids and electric cars may be good for the environment, but they're bad for government transportation funding, which relies on gasoline and diesel taxes to help pay for the building and upkeep of roads and bridges.
Now some states, including Vermont, are mapping out a possible alternative: taxing drivers not based on how much fuel is burned but how far each vehicle travels.
"I think there's general agreement that we eventually have to get to that if we're going to replace lost gasoline tax revenue," said Costa Pappis, a senior planner with the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
It's easy to see why officials are worried: Vermont expected to raise about $232 million for its transportation fund in the current fiscal year, with about a quarter of it coming from the gasoline tax of about 20 cents a gallon.
But those revenue collections have been shy of their target so far this year, just as they have been for the six years before. Vermont gas stations sold slightly more than 361 million gallons in 2006, their historic peak. By 2011, that figure was down to just shy of 330 million.
It's the same story in many other states.
Oregon is the farthest along in trying to address the problem with a "vehicle miles traveled" tax. Legislation there would impose such a tax on cars of 2015 model year or later that get 55 mpg or better.
If that sounds like a high number, it may not for long. New fuel economy standards agreed to by the government and automakers last year say that by 2025, cars will average 54.5 mpg.
Vermont Transportation Secretary Brian Searles said calculating how much of a VMT tax is owed would be done through the global positioning system devices that are expected to be standard equipment in cars later this decade.
"It's a GPS device that's capable of tracking location, time," he said, adding that he was aware that might raise privacy concerns.
It did with Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"I'm sure there's going to be a big public outcry when people hear about this," he said.
But Adrian Moore, who has studied VMT tax implementation as vice president with the California-based Reason Foundation, said fears of Big Brother are overblown. He said a range of technologies are being tested in pilot studies, including one device that records miles traveled since a fill-up and then communicates with the gas pump on the next fill-up how much tax is owed.
If a GPS device can tell a driver when to take a left, it can tell what road the car is traveling on, and eventually could determine how much of the tax is owed to a city, a county or a state, depending on whether the motorist was using a city street, a county road or a state highway, Moore said.

Lenovo took the wraps off its IdeaPad U310 and U410 at CES, we were left feeling happy / sad. On the one hand, we were dismayed by the half-hearted inclusion of a memory card slot, but the company did earn high marks for sticking to that sleek Ultrabook form factor and pricing the duo at a $700 entry point. Now that luxurious-looking laptop pair's making another public appearance, stopping by the FCC for a step and repeat and splaying its guts and user manual in the process. While the filings reveal no surprise specs for these 13- and 14-inchers -- those internal goodies were divulged back in January -- this Commission pit stop is a solid indication that all systems are go for a planned May launch.

noun quar·an·tine \ˈkwȯr-ən-ˌtēn\
Definition of QUARANTINE for Kids
: isolation of people, animals, or things (as plants) out of a certain area to prevent the spread of disease or pests
: a period during which a person or animal with a contagious disease is isolated

Word History of QUARANTINE
Centuries ago people in Europe did not have a good understanding of infectious diseases. But experience taught them that when ships arrived in port and brought strangers, illness would sometimes follow. In Venice, a port in Italy, the practice developed of holding a ship in the harbor for forty days if the passengers were suspected of carrying disease, especially plague. If no one developed signs of illness, the passengers were let ashore. The word for this period of forty days was in Italian quarantena, a derivative of quaranta, "forty," and it is a source of the English word quarantine.
Definition of QUARANTINE for Kids
: to put or hold in isolation to prevent the spread of disease or pests <The infected patient was quarantined.>

Tooronga Village Sale
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Tyson Maschler for his hard work & assistance in the sale of our apartment in Tooronga Village, Glen Iris. We found Tyson's knowledge of the area made the sale happen 7 days after the property was listed. An unconditional offer was signed on Christmas Eve. The price is $15,000 above our asked price so I have to say this is one of the best Christmas present we have ever received.
We wish Tyson well in the future and look forward to working with him again next year.

The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is hoisting its sails to host the Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo this weekend between 10am and 4pm.
A large range of boats on display at Pittwater Sail Expo - Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo 2014
This free community event will feature over 40 exhibitors supplying goods and services to the professional and leisure sailor. The club itself will be a feature exhibitor with members on hand to discuss all activities on offer, including membership, yacht racing, cruising, kids sailing and training and you can get 50% off the joining fee, if you wish to join the club at Sail Expo.
The RPAYC will be bursting with activity with yachts of all shapes and sizes on display on the floating marina and product demonstrations in exhibitor marquees.
Among the yacht brands on display for you to inspect will be All Sail, Bavaria, Beneteau Vicsail, Dufour, Island Packet, Hanse, Jeanneau, Moody, Dehler, Smart Boating, Sailtime, Sunbeam and X yachts plus Seawind and Lagoon catamarans as well as Multihull Solutions. Bavaria will be showing their cruiser range with some exclusive Sail Expo incentives if you're in the market for a new boat. Chat with the Bavaria team on B Arm and jump on board for a look around.
Other marine goods and services will be exhibited in marquees on the lawn including inflatable boats, sailing apparel, yacht brokerage and services, marine paints, sail makers and cleaners, riggers, bags and accessories, safety gear, electrical, batteries, upholstery, marine insurance and much, much more.
Heidi Gordon, owner of Lejen Marine and a first time exhibitor said, 'We are really looking forward to Sail Expo this weekend. We're delighted to be able to showcase our range of inflatables and accessories including the Highfield range. It's the first time on display in New South Wales for this well respected international premium brand, so it's pretty exciting.'
Also on display will be the historic 14.6m Solent Class x-RNLI lifeboat Sea Guardian, best known for her fight against 24 metre waves and 160km/h gusts in the tragic 1998 Sydney Hobart race when she pulled 10 yachts to safety. Jools Farrell from Sea Shepherd, the non profit conservation organisation whose mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans will also have a presence at Expo.
Win a trip for two valued at $15000 courtesy of Mariner Boating - Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo 2014
Another great incentive to visit Sail Expo is the opportunity to win a fabulous prize being offered by Mariner Boating Holidays; a free trip for two during 2015 to one of Mariner Boating's now famous yacht rallies overseas valued at $15,000. It includes two weeks on a yacht sailing in company while making passage between ports where you peel off to do your own thing on alternate days off. The prize is also inclusive of international airfares. Visit the Mariner Boating stand at Sail Expo, register with them, answer a short online survey and you are eligible to participate in the draw.
Managing Director of Mariner Boating Trevor Joyce said, 'We have a long association with the RPAYC and the Expo provides us with an excellent platform to stay in contact with the members and with the boating community at large on the Peninsula.'
Trevor says his team are 'keen to find out what destinations are at the top of your list, so the favourite destination among Expo visitors will be the location for the prize.' The 2014 Mariner Boating's' rally program kicks off in April in Tahiti and closes in October in Turkey. The team will be available during Sail Expo to answer any questions you have, so drop in to discuss your next boating holiday!
There will be entertainment, great food and a sausage sizzle with proceeds going to junior sailing plus plenty of activity across the two day event. Visitors can even take a tour of the racing yacht Wild Oats X and you can meet Paralympic Gold medallist Dan Fitzgibbon and view his integrated disabled keelboat, Another Challenge and learn more about the IdS program.
Pittwater authorities will have a presence also with the Water Police, NSW Maritime and Marine Rescue having their vessels on display, whilst Marine Rescue will be raffling a runabout.
With organisers expecting between 2500 and 3000 people to visit the Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo over the weekend, a shuttle bus will be operating to ferry people to and from the club to the public car park at Newport Surf Club. Pick up and drop off point will be the bus stop on Barrenjoey Road. The club offers limited car parking in Crystal St, next door to the club but there is plenty of public car parking available at Newport Surf Club. The shuttle bus will depart every 30 minutes from the main entrance at the RPAYC. More details including a bus and parking map are available on the expo website.
Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo spokesman Rob Cole said, 'The Sail Expo is a real community event for the peninsula. We look forward to welcoming and providing an experience for both exhibitors and visitors and showcasing the club and our magnificent waterway, Pittwater. It's also an excellent opportunity for the public who have an interest in sailing to learn more about what the club has to offer and all aspects of sailing, training and membership'.
So if you have an interest or want to learn more about sailing don't miss the Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo from 10am to 4pm this Saturday and Sunday.
The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is located at 16 Mitala St Newport and admission is free. A Sail Expo visitor guide is also available on arrival.

Tutorial cleaning bones PART 1Tutorial cleaning bones PART 16 years ago in Other More Like This
So you have a raw skull or bone. This means the bone or skull still has flesh/meat on it. There are several ways to get it clean. Some of which I may forget to mention even.
STEP 1: getting the bones free of flesh
Choices: water, bugs, range cleaning, and sweating
- - -
MACERATION or SIMMERING-
Macerating means soaking them in water. Put the raw bones in warm water, you can use the summer sun, a heat lamp, a fish tank heater, etc. to keep the water warm. Change half the water every 3 to 5 days until no more flesh and meat is attached. I've also had luck in not changing the water at all. You want to keep some bacteria and give them room to keep multiplying. You do NOT need to add any other cleaner to this mixture, the bacteria of rotting meat and guts is enough.
Some are tough and may take longer. The firs
Tutorial cleaning bones PART 2Tutorial cleaning bones PART 26 years ago in Other More Like This
Ok, here is STEP 2 which deals with degreasing. If your bones or skulls still have meat on them see STEP 1 again.
STEP 2: getting the bones free of grease
Choices: Dawn, acetone, ammonia...
NOTE ON BLEACH: it is really NOT a choice here. I made this mistake once and I can tell you from experience it de-calcifies bone and makes them start to flake and become soft and mushy.
And the grease? It is STILL THERE.

The bleach alternative in this dish soap is actually just a whitening agent much like peroxide, it is not actually bleach.
You need warm or hot water. Ideally you want it between 95 and 120 degrees F. Any hotter and I have been told you can cool the grease right into the bone.
You will need a bucket or tub of some kind. Squeeze out a bit of dish soap into there, like you ar

from Mississauga, ON
I received my High Roller Bangle the other day and just loved the way it sparkles with the oval multi-color and Blue crystals. I'm rating this item a "4" star because one of the clips at the side of the bangle was loose and does not clip in securely. I called TSC to get an exchange on this item and ensure that before they send it out to check that both latches on each side are secured and snap in correctly. Other than that it is a fabulous bracelet and definately will turn some heads :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

for Watercolor Riders Jersey Plus by Team Estrogen (2 reviews)
Love it
We bought this as our girls group jersey because the colors matched all our bikes :) and available in plus sizes..we get so many compliments on it every time we go on a big ride...

- Breathable

- Sizing: Feels true to size
Wow! I love this jersey!
I bought this top last week, and have worn it a couple of times now, and I find it to be extremely comfortable, and a very flattering fit, particularly for my curvy body. I like that it has ample hip room, so it is not super tight across that area. The design is beautiful. The zip is very long, would want to wear a crop top underneath if you were going to open it all the way. The only improvement I would suggest is a small zip pocket for things like keys, however the back pockets are deep and easily hold my stuff (like my iphone) while riding.
Service comments: I bought this product last week, and it was delivered to me here in Australia in less than a week, using the express option. I thought that postage costs were very reasonable, particularly compared to other cycling online stores I had looked at, where the cheapest postage was going to cost me almost twice as much. I will be definitely using Team Estrogen again, particularly as it is almost impossible to get plus size cycling gear here in Australia. Thanks from a VERY happy Aussie customer!

. In companion animals, immunological response to infection or vaccination has generally been evaluated by measuring the level of antibodies in serum and correlating these with protection or susceptibility. For the diseases caused by canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus, 4,5 canine adenovirus and leptospirosis, 4 evaluation of antibody titers may be a valuable diagnostic indicator to determine when revaccination may be needed. For other diseases, a serological response has not been identified that correlates with protection. Practical knowledge of the disease, the vaccine and the patient, along with serologic test results when appropriate, is paramount in making the best recommendation for a vaccination protocol for a specific animal. The duration and character of the immune response to the viral antigens of Vanguard and/or Vanguard Plus were determined in a multi-center serology study involving 47 small animal veterinary clinics located in the United States (44) and Canada (3). Three hundred twenty-two male and female (intact and neutered) dogs of various ages, breeds, weights, lifestyles and time since last vaccination were enrolled in the study. Dogs were required to be healthy, greater than 2 years old with no history of disease due to CDV, CPV, CAV-1, CAV-2, or CPI and must not have been vaccinated for 12-48 months or longer. Additionally, dogs must have received at least a priming vaccination series approximately 2-7 weeks apart as a puppy and a booster vaccination approximately 8-16 months later. All previously administered vaccines were Vanguard products. A blood sample was collected from each dog and serum submitted to Cornell Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for determination of CDV (SN), CPV (HAI) titers, CAV-1 (SN), CAV-2 (SN), and CPI (SN). The samples were sent to a single diagnostic laboratory, thus ensuring a standardized test and methodology. As shown in the table below, elevated geometric mean titers were sustained for 12 to ≥ 48 months after the last booster. Since the study was conducted under field conditions with client-owned animals, it is possible that natural exposure to infectious agents could have occurred without clinical signs of infection. In such cases, the titers measured in the study could be the result of exposure to the disease in addition to vaccinations during the course of the study. table 1.

Litigation Partner Introduces Process Efficiencies, Cost Containment Disciplines That Significantly Reduce Corporate Legal Costs New Web Tool Gives Control of Litigation Costs Back to Corporate Counsels and Provides Top Management With Transparent, Predictable Cost Projections PR Newswire DETROIT, June 5, 2013 DETROIT, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TVM Solutions announces the launch of Litigation Partner™, a budget management system that assists corporations in controlling and reducing their cost of litigation. This cloud-based budgeting, invoicing and data analysis software combines advanced process management methods with state-of-the-art web technology to provide a precise framework for understanding the costs associated with engaging outside counsel throughout the litigation process. Developed over more than a decade, Litigation Partner is grounded in a thorough understanding of how law is practiced and the ways in which costs can be incurred. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130605/DE27148) Michael Derry, CEO of TVM Solutions, described the importance of Litigation Partner and its impact on relationships between in-house legal departments and outside counsel: "Large corporations spend millions of dollars in legal fees, and executives reluctantly accept these payouts as a burdensome but necessary cost of doing business. Despite these sizeable expenditures on litigation, companies have not had a tool for understanding exactly how their money is spent or what they are paying for. Litigation Partner imposes that discipline. Our software assigns a dollar amount to every single task performed by outside counsel during litigation, automatically matching value with work." To test the validity of the concept, TVM Solutions has worked with PulteGroup Inc., the $4.8-billion homebuilder, since 2010. Pulte ran a number of settled legal cases through the Litigation Partner system. Ellen Padesky Maturen, associate general counsel for Pulte, oversaw the process and summarized the result: "We were looking for inefficiencies and analyzing costs. What we found was a real eye-opener." Ellen went on to talk about how Litigation Partner will change corporate litigation. "This is a different way of looking at handling a case. It's a whole new way to think about value and efficiency for us. It's the wave of the future, because the typical hourly rate structure charged by outside counsel just doesn't make sense to us anymore. They have to embrace it 100%. It's a freight train coming straight at them." Litigation Partner brings cost predictability to the litigation process. Case managers can now provide the CFO, general counsel and their law firms with the precise cost of litigation at the beginning of the process. Moreover, the ability to create financial models for a variety of case strategies enhances early case assessment. Derry also emphasizes that the transparency and objectivity of Litigation Partner-enabled collaboration can strengthen relationships between in-house corporate counsel and their outside legal firms. "The system works to eliminate uncertainty and waste by assigning specific values to each individual task to be performed. That opens up the discussion, ensuring that all constituents understand what's expected and the associated rates." He goes on to describe Litigation Partner as an end-to-end system that facilitates every aspect of corporate litigation oversight. "Our patented system is the only product available that links a detailed definition of scope of work to precise budgeting and control of every cost variable. The authorized budget transforms directly into the invoicing system which, in turn, launches data collection, business analyses and continuous improvement. The fact that Litigation Partner works in real-time is a powerful advantage," Mr. Derry concluded. "Frankly, this changes everything. Now, our clients are always on top of their legal expenditures, which is an essential factor in helping them control costs."

Update on MarkThis is 44-year-old Mark. He is married and has four children aged three, seven, nine and thirteen. He has two additional dependents, who live with him to assist a late brother's children with their education.
In 1997, Mark established his used clothing business. He began his business because he wants to be self-reliant and be able to cater to the needs of the family. His business is located in the city center, and his main customers are gentlemen and office workers. Working seven days a week and 12 hours a day, he earns about SLL 2,940,000 every month from this business.
Mark would like a loan in the amount of SLL 5,000,000. Mark has already received and successfully repaid four loans. He requires the new loan in order to purchase four bales of office jackets and two bales of trousers. He hopes that this loan will help by increasing the stock. In the future, Mark plans to see the business grow and hopes to move to a shop. He thanks you for your support.

Additional Information
About the Association or Rural DevelopmentThe Association for Rural Development (ARD) is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Sierra Leone. Established in 1989, ARD has offered individual and group loans to support small-scale businesses across the country for two decades. You can learn more about ARD on its partner profile page, support the organization and its staff by joining the ARD lending team, or lend to another one of its borrowers currently raising funds on Kiva.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Going Vegetarian
Over a year ago
Hello all,
I am attempting the vegetarian diet and since it's been quite a few years since I've been on this site, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of sources about how to have a balanced diet, recipes, etc.
I'm a very picky eater, so I've been finding it slightly difficult to find foods that give me all the nutrition I need (mostly because I'm ignorant when it comes to nutritional value of foods…)
Thank you for your help! 😀

If you want to educate yourself in-detail on nutrition, check out http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/ and spend some time on their individual fact sheets, meal plans, and nutritional guides.
Also check out http://www.vegweb.com/ for some great recipes. If you're not a good cook already, you're going to need to learn!
Finding all of your nutrition on a balanced animal free diet is extremely easy – most of the worries about "protein deficiency" are from omnivore propaganda.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I'm not sure if there are any branches in the city, but there's one out here in Slidell and they are offering 5.5% APY on all checking accounts if you meet certain criteria (which is not difficult--you have to have one direct deposit OR bill paid by check online from your account each month, 12 visa debit transactions per month, and a few other silly ones). They also offer ATM-fee reimbursement because there's only 18 Gulf Coast branches in the state, so if you go to any ATM, whether it be at Chase bank where they'll charge you like $1.50 or the casino where they'll charge you $5 or 6 to withdraw money from your account, Gulf Coast will reimburse you for all ATM withdrawal fees.
I bank at chase and I only get .01% on my checking and 1% on my savings. I'm all about free money!!
There is a cap, though--they'll give you the 5.5% for up to $25,000.
Just wanted to give you guys the heads up for anybody watching interest rates or wanting a better one!

Rondo Days
Rondo Days is an annual weekend festival held in mid-July in Saint Paul, Minnesota that commemorates the Rondo neighborhood, an African-American community that was split in two by the construction of Interstate 94 in the mid-1960s. The festival has grown since its inception in 1982 to become the second largest African American sponsored festival in Minnesota.[1]
Events that are held include a parade that is located on the old Rondo neighborhood that features a parade in the daytime where a number of drill teams participate prior to the evening's drill team competition.Also people from the community come and join to watch and have a fun time.
Drill Team Competition[edit]
The drill team competition is a highly anticipated event during the Rondo Days festival as several drill teams and drum lines, all of them having some kind of connection with the Rondo neighborhood, and from different locations across the United States, meet at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium located in downtown Saint Paul's Rivercentre in the evening. These drill teams and drum lines will perform in a somewhat similar manner to speech competitions. Each drill team is allowed only one 9:00 minute session which is then critiqued by a panel of judges, however, a team will be allowed to start over in the case of an unexpected interruption, such as a lighting failure. In 2005, a drum-off was added, where teams in sets of 4 would have 4:00 minutes to showcase their routine. Also in 2005, one of the most popular drill teams from Saint Paul, known as the "Half-Pintz", were forced to take a bye after winning the drill team competition for the previous three consecutive years. The Half-Pintz elected to be an exhibition group in 2006 to avoid criticism from out of state teams that the competition was being "fixed" in the home team's favor.
The Rondo Days festival has dealt with some problems in its history. In the 2004 drill team competition, a fight erupted in one of the auditorium's concession stand and ballooned to the point where police used mace to quell the fighting. This nearly led to the cancellation of the event, but the decision was later rescinded by the President of the Rondo Days festival (although he did warn the event would be stopped if another fight were to occur). The fight began in the middle of a Kansas City drill team's routine, and the team was granted a restart.

Unfair charges laid at the door of car users
Phil Bixby (AJ 21.4.05) recognises that cycling, walking and public transport are not always free choices for a great number of elderly and those from lowincome households, and yet then seeks to condemn those who use their cars as somehow responsible for undermining their lack of personal mobility.
Ironically, this is just spiteful nonsense masquerading as a defence of poorer sections of the community. It is also a misrepresentation of reality.
At the moment, for example, the good mayor of London is threatening to increase the congestion charge as a means of inconveniencing more people to get out of their cars. Funnily enough, the very people who will be priced out are those in low-income brackets; and the numbers of people consequently having to cram themselves on our inadequate public transport provision will not make the journey any more comfortable for those pensioners, children and young people for whom Bixby seems to be the unelected representative.
I am not a campaigner for or against the congestion charge, neither am I what Bixby might parody as 'others in love with their cars'. Surely, the main thing is to campaign for a decent transport system, not the sort of sectarian system of robbing Peter to pay Paul that Bixby seems to be advocating?
