Skanstulls HostelStockholm, Sweden
Awesome, roomy security boxes right by each bead, with an outlet in every "box". Cool decor and sturdy beds who each have their own bed light. Well equipped kitchen, can get a bit busy in the evening.
YHA Franz JosefFranz Josef, New Zealand
Felt like a really big hostel. Unfortunately kitchen and common room wasn't big enough though. Had no were to sit in the evening when we wanting to chill and it was raining outside. Otherwise, an okay place.
PinewoodQueenstown, New Zealand
The dorms were divided in cabins, all with their own kitchen and bathroom. Really liked this, felt like a little village. Also close to nature, away from the hustle of central Queenstown but still just a short walk to town.
Te Anau Lakefront BackpackersTe Anau, New Zealand
Liked that every dorm had a own kitchen and bathroom and no bunkbeds in our room at least, if you actually wanted to cook and eat in dorm the only place to sit was to go outside our to the main building though. Otherwise, nice stay overall, liked Te Anau.
On Top BackpackersDunedin, New Zealand
Our private room was a bit special, like a inverted balcony where on of the walls were completely glass with a slide door. You had the option to pull a sturdy curtain to get some privacy and I didn't mind. Thought the toilets felt really fresh. Otherwise nothing special, a bit small kitchen and common room (in the same room).
Fish Tank LodgeKaikoura, New Zealand
Nice location, nice common room, a balcony. Fun fish paintings on the walls. Friendly staff. Overall a good stay, didnt really spent much time at the hostel except sleeping.
The DwellingtonWellington, New Zealand
Really liked the whole interior of this hostel. Really sturdy and comfortable bunkbeds, fancy kitchen and dining table. Nice.
42b College House BackpackersWhanganui, New Zealand
Friendliest staff I ever met, got "upgraded" to a big family room since it was free anyway, really nice view in the big garden. Awesome.
Lazy Dog BackpackersTurangi, New Zealand
Nice laid back atmosphere, best WiFi we ever had on a hostel, liked the common room and kitchen that made you feel at home. Dorms was a little bit crowded and maybe not the best beds, but still a really good stay!
Four Canoes Hostel and BarRotorua, New Zealand
Really liked it! Both dorms and common rooms felt clean and spacious. Got some vouchers from the staff when we went to Te Puia the day after.

Nomads AucklandAuckland, New Zealand
Hostel felt kind of crowded and a bit filthy. No Internet in the building unless you paid, and even when you did, the connection was unreliable. Did like the big security lockers in the room though, could fit our to big bags in one. But all and all, not for us.
Houseboat RippleAmsterdam, Netherlands
It's very nice and open, clean, comfortable, and an outdoor terrace you can use as well. The location isn't the closest to the center, but it's a nice neighborhood and we felt it was kind of nice to get away from the crowds and the noise. The owner is really friendly and will help you with whatever kind of tips you need. There could be nice with locks to the bedroom or some kind of security box in the bedroom, but we left our belongings laying aorund in the room without feeling it was unsafe.

AbhostelAntwerp, Belgium
Got everything you can expect from a hostel, and really clean nice bedroom with a lot of space even in the 10 people bedroom we slept in. I don't have any complaints really. But I didn't really got that feeling of home, it felt maybe a little hollow and chilly, even though the personnel was nice!

YHA Ostello per la Gioventu GenoaGenoa, Italy
Beautiful view from the hostel, but that also mean that it was quite a long buss ride down to the town since it was located on a hill. Much space in the rooms, a big common room to hang out in, maybe not so fun, but a nice place to stay and we had no problems during our stay.
Hostel Tabor LjubljanaLjubljana, Slovenia
Cheap, clean hostel in a good location, but that's about it. Looks like a school and I think our room was some old storage room? So, not so much fun, but still okay. Free Internet time by the computers was nice.

Muffin HostelSalzburg, Austria
I don't know if was the people I met, the hostel, or the city, but my stay was amazing. We were there on the hostel's opening day and the guests organized an improvised party in the basement. Even though the bar hadn't open yet everybody was really sociable had a great time. Met so many fun people. The interior design was kind of gray and boring, like an old school, but a really nice big garden.
Wombats City Hostel BerlinBerlin, Germany
Very fun and enjoyable hostel! Really like the whole interior design. Because of some computer trouble or double booking we got upgraded to a double private with balcony and our own bathroom, can't really complain about that. Also, really nice bar at the roof with cheap beer and drinks!

Spiced Banana Pancakes
Warm up your morning with these sweet, flavorful pancakes.
These sweet and sumptuously spiced pancakes aren't afraid to take center stage at your next big breakfast—they're the kind worth savoring over a second cup of coffee or tea.
Serves 4
What You Need:
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar or natural sweetener
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1-l/4 cups soymilk or other dairy-free milk
- 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- Pure maple syrup or blueberry syrup
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, for garnish
What You Do:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice and set aside. In a food processor or blender combine the soymilk and half of the banana slices and process until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a few swift strokes until just combined. Fold in the remaining banana slices.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook on one side until small bubbles appear on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes with a metal spatula and cook until the other side is lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in the oven while you prepare the remaining pancakes. Top with maple or blueberry syrup and fresh fruit as desired.

Last Minute Preparation for Cyber Monday. Load Testing - Here's what you can do in a day
Posted by Rebecca Clinard
One of the biggest internet shopping days is approaching.
Is your website prepared to handle the potential load of users?
If your answer is "I don't know" then Houston, we have a problem.
What if it can't handle the high load and falls over, rendering potential shoppers unable to even access the website? We are talking serious losses in revenues and consumer confidence, not to mention jeopardizing the overall branding reputation.
So, let's get to it and answer your question "Can my website handle Cyber Monday?" Here's what you can do to answer that question in a day.
Here's what we're going to do:
Step 1: Plan for Success: Determine your Peak Load.
First, let's figure out your potential load. Think and plan for wild success. If you are currently using any web statistical analysis or tracking tools, it's a good time to review this data for things like highest current users (peak load) and hit rates. If you don't yet use this type of tool, then start doing so now.
Think about all the entries to your website from potential users – search engine hits, marketing ads, link backs, consumer reports, shout out's from tv/radio, social media…...following the latest celeb and wanting to use the same product as they are….who knows how many different ways people will find and access your website.
Your first job is to plan for success. Huge success. Does that equal to 700 concurrent users actively using your website? Or does is equate to 70 or 7,000? Be reasonable, but envision peak load at your wildest dreams, isn't this how dreams are achieved?
Now you've got a peak target load of users.
Let's look at an actual real world sample report from a JMeter script that was executed using BlazeMeter:
Now you've got a peak target load of users.
Step 2: Identify your user's behaviors: Create a realistic load.
Now, what are these users actually doing? Are they using your site to learn about a new product? Are they comparing prices? Are they looking to buy at deep discounts? Identify all of your "critical" business transactions or URL's. In other words, find out the pages which will be hit the hardest during Cyber Monday (and hint, hint, it's probably not going to be the Careers link;).
Next, create a quick script. A script is an automated business transaction which can be executed over and over again to create load. Create recorded a script for every "type" of user or use explicit pages or URL's that are expected to be the most popular. If you don't know how to create a script, you can start with BlazeMeter's auto-scripting feature.
Hmm….What else should you consider? Well, you could have people accessing your site from many geographical locations. Or if it a website which offers a local service, you might want to just concentrate on your region. Decide where your users are coming from.
Also, remember that these are real users, not robots. These users think and breathe and stay on pages and navigate logically. Make sure your scripts include pauses (sleeps or waits) in between transactions so that they really represent a normal workload.
I can't stress how important this is – most people don't take this advice and create the most unrealistic tests of simultaneous users banging away at the transactions – and you don't get any real sensible data for results.
Make sure you set up the load test to start ramping up users gradually. In other words, don't slam your website with the peak load, watch it fall over, become unresponsive, and then you have a heart attack and then you yourself fall to the floor. Really, no one wins here.
Instead, think of a realistic rate of users accessing your website. Is that about 30 new users every minute? This would be your ramp up pace. Configure your test to ramp up at this rate until you hit your target peak load. Load testing isn't for the faint of heart….I can almost guarantee you that you won't reach your wild success target without experiencing unacceptable response time degradation.
C'mon, the day is not half yet over and you are already creating a solid test case scenario to answer your question: Can my website handle a wildly successful Cyber Monday?
Step 3: Execute the load tests: Understand your current capacity.
You are ready to hit the Start button and execute a realist load test against your web application. Run the test up until the point where the user load begins to cause your response times to exceeds your acceptable expectation and/or your test begins to generate errors instead of successful responses.
For example, an acceptable response time could be 2.5 seconds. That's your choice. Let's say that the point of degradation which exceeds 2.5 seconds starts showing its teeth at about 350 concurrent users. Hey, aren't you glad to now know the load your website can handle? It is great information.
Let's look at an actual real world sample report from a JMeter script that was executed using BlazeMeter:
If you look closely you'll see the response time start to degrade at 16:07 with 541 users and then really go bad from 16:09 with 647 users.
(You can play with the interactive report yourself at https://a.blazemeter.com/report/MTMyMjI0)
Step 4: Tune your environment for scalability.
Now let's make your site scale to your target workload. Where is your website hosted? Do you have your own data-center? Is the deployment hosted in a cloud environment? Where ever it is, there are real people supporting the environment. Engage the right people. Finding and alleviating bottlenecks which will allow the website to scale to a higher load is not magic, it's monitoring.
Call an "All Hands on Deck" meeting with the people with the right monitoring access and skills. Re-run the test (repeat step 3). Identify bottlenecks and tune the environment until your goal (peak load) is achieved.
Congrats! You have taken action to answer your own question….
Now you can sleep better, knowing you have at least prepared for Cyber Monday.

It happened few times that I had corrupted FLACs, probably 3-4 files in my entire library. One day I converted them to WAV then reconverted back to FLAC, the audio CRC ended up to be the same but the FLAC was no longer corrupted. Is this a real way to fix the corrupted FLAC? Why wasn't the WAV corrupted like the FLAC originally was?

Thanks for trying that. Do you think the file is fixed now? Do you think the audio stream was not damaged even on the corrupt file? Again, is it possible the corruption was somewhere else outside of the audio stream? I am asking this over and over because I am not a programmer, I'd just like to know if the component of a FLAC file can break without touching the audio stream.

Inside Line reports that BMW's M division wants to play with the other kids and develop its own car, but it's got to wait on parent BMW to say Alles klar. This isn't new; they've been public about the desire for at least two years. The holdup, naturally, is that bean-and-spreadsheet wielding boogeyman named The Business Case: any in-house M offering has to feed the profit motive before getting the okay.

Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) issued bulletin MS08-037 to address vulnerabilities in DNS resolvers caused by predictable UDP source port usage. MSKB 956190 addresses behavior observed when traffic crosses a NAT-based firewall and provides workarounds to mitigate this behavior.
Traffic crossing a NAT device cannot be assumed to maintain the original source port because of the likelihood of multiple internal hosts using the same protocol to send traffic to the same external destination; especially in the case of an infrastructure protocol such as DNS. The NAT device will typically create a new connection to the external network using whatever source port allocation algorithm it has available. In the case of ISA and TMG, this is deferred to Windows; specifically Winsock.
Although the multi-network model and flexible NAT structure of ISA 2004, ISA Server 2006 and TMG differ greatly from ISA Server 2000, the default behavior for traffic crossing a NAT relationship is the same for all.
Note that although traffic handled by the Web Proxy may appear to be NAT, it is not. Because a web proxy terminates the traffic between the client and server; the connections to each have no relationship to each other beyond that which is maintained by the web proxy itself. Traffic which is processed by a NAT device maintains one or more of the IP or transport header data fields. All IP and transport header data for traffic processed through a web proxy is unique to each host on either side of the proxy. Because Web proxy traffic (that which is handled by web publishing or web proxy listeners) is actually terminated through layer-7 at the ISA itself, only the "Local host Access" network rule which defines a route relationship applies to Web Proxy traffic.
Default NAT relationships for ISA and TMG are considered "uni-directional"; that is, they only change the IP and transport data of the host in the "source" network. Note that a NAT relationship imposes a strict limitation for the use of access and server (non-web) publishing rules:
1. Access rules can only apply to traffic which originates from the "source" network
2. Server Publishing rules can only apply to traffic which originates from the "destination" network
To illustrate the effect on traffic crossing NAT relationships, consider the following traffic flows:
DNS traffic is being sent from the host at 10.10.255.127, destined for the DNS server at 188.8.131.52. ISA applies IP-NAT to the source-IP so that the DNS server responses can be directed to the ISA server external IP of 22.214.171.124. ISA maintains a connection table which maps these internal and external sockets to each other so that traffic can be directed properly. Because ISA must potentially serve multiple requests to this server, it must obtain a unique source port for the external traffic so that the external DNS server will treat the requests from each internal host as a unique conversation. Return traffic from the DNS server will exhibit the same, albeit opposite effect as it traverses the firewall.
DNS traffic from an external client on IP 188.8.131.52 is sent to the ISA external IP of 22.214.171.124. Because the source-IP is not changed in the traffic sent to the internal DNS server, the source port can also remain unchanged and thus conversations between all external clients will be unique. Return traffic from the DNS server will exhibit the opposite behavior across this relationship.
In the case where the ISA admin elects to perform full-NAT for traffic crossing a Server Publishing rule, ISA will change the source-IP and source-port for all traffic crossing this relationship. In this case, the source-port for the traffic sent to the DNS server will not be the same as used by the external client. This configuration is made possible by:
· ISA Server 2000: apply Service Pack 2 and follow the instructions in MSKB 311777.
· ISA Server 2004 / 2006 and TMG: publishing rules provide a UI setting in the "To" tab:
i) Requests appear to come from the ISA Server computer (full-NAT; default for web publishing)
ii) Requests appear to come from the original client (half-NAT; default for server publishing)
ISA does not change any IP or transport header data for traffic which traverses a route relationship.
What makes this more difficult to evaluate is the point that there are multiple client request types that are supported in ISA deployments. When required, ISA defers to Winsock GetAddrInfo name resolution mechanisms when name resolution is required to satisfy a client request, so you should ensure that Windows on your ISA Server is patched. Windows 2008 already incorporates the changes provided in MS08-037, so TMG name resolution does not suffer from this problem.
These clients depend on ISA/TMG to perform name resolution on their behalf. If the Windows installation under ISA has been patched, the source port randomization provided by the MS08-037 update will be used by Windows when ISA makes name resolution requests for these requests. If not, applying this patch should be your next priority.
These clients perform their own name resolution and so may be affected by ISA / TMG NAT behavior *if* they make direct DNS queries to external DNS servers. If they only communicate with internal DNS resolvers, ISA / TMG NAT behavior does not affect them directly, but may affect the internal DNS server they use if it makes recursive queries through ISA / TMG as a SecureNET client in its own right.
These clients pose a more complex problem, since the combination of application behavior as well as firewall Client Application settings makes determining client behavior more difficult. As a rule, applications which perform name resolution through the use of Winsock API calls will benefit from the behavior provided by an ISA Server which operates on a patched Windows installation. Those that insist on making direct-to-server queries will have a more difficult time.
One example of a FWC mixed behavior scenario is the use of nslookup.exe:
nslookup hostnameNslookup will resolve "hostname" by making a Winsock GetAddrinfo request. This request will be intercepted by the FWC and "hostname" will be resolved by ISA via Windows name resolution functionality.
nslookup hostname dns_server_name Nslookup will perform two tasks:
1. Obtain dns_server_ip through a Winsock GetAddrinfo request for dns_server_name. This request will be intercepted by the FWC and forwarded to ISA for resolution through Windows. The results of that query will be sent back to nslookup via the FWC.
2. Resolve "hostname" by sending a DNS query through Winsock to dns_server_ip. The FWC will intercept this traffic and send it to ISA for rule evaluation and processing. When ISA forwards the DNS query to dns_server_ip, the traffic will be sourced from the ISA server external IP and so will exhibit port assignment behavior as determined by the installation of the MS08-037 patch.
The ISA and TMG teams are working with MSRC to evaluate these problems in order to determine the most functional solution for each ISA Server version and TMG. We will respond here as soon as a design decision is made and an expected ship date is determined.
Jim Harrison, Program Manager, Forefront Edge SE
Good article!
Just wondering…
Shouldn't it be SecureNAT client instead of SecureNET? Or is it two different names for the same thing?
I have a personal preference for "SecureNET" because it allows you to mentally consider the fact that the traffic flow from a host / application which is neither a Firewall client nor a Web Proxy client can be processed by a route relationship. "SecureNAT" doesn't allow for this mental flexibility.
..hope it's not too confusing...
body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt} 183 Microsoft Team blogs searched, 88 blogs have new articles
We've created updates to ISA and TMG to support source port randomization for UDP traffic across NAT relationships.
You can obtain the update packages here:
ISA 2000 (requires SP2):
ISA 2004 Std Ed (requires SP3):
ISA 2004 Ent Ed (requires SP3):
ISA 2006 (requires SP1):
We just released an update for ISA (2000, 2004 and 2006) and TMG MBE for the behavior that Jim Harrison
Wer heute in den WSUS geschaut hat, wird Updates für alle ISA Server-Versionen gefunden haben. These
After installing this update PPTP stopped working.
Only after removing it could I get PPTP to work again.
Nori, have you contacted CSS?
Can you elaborate on "stopped working"?
After applying the patch, you're not able to establish PPTP connections to your ISA, because TCP 0.0.0.0:1723 stops listening for incomming PPTP calls.
Due to some installation issues on Forefront TMG (MBE), the package at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e974422f-42b0-426c-8852-ff8e67264909 has been re-released. The code which manages the UDP NAT pool has not changed; only the installation process.
Kai! - whereyabeen?!?
Given that the update only allocates UDP sockets and PPTP operates on TCP:1723, this error doesn't male sense.
I'll see if I can repro it. If not, will you have cycles to provide more targeted data?
Why do I need this? Last month, we released a collection of updates to help mitigate the problem caused
I didn't have time to troubleshoot further why PPTP stopped working or contact CSS.
So I just uninstalled.
There is already a solution to the problem of PPTP ports disappeared?
Already tried hotfix KB968078 that supersedes KB956570 but that has the same problem.
A few minutes ago i ran into the same PPTP issue again. Thx to MS09-016 for making trouble...
Deinstalled MS09-016 and everything runs fine again. But now I'm sitting in front of a non-patched ISA box, again!
Hope PSS will fix this issue soon, so that ISA admins would be finally protected against the Kaminsky DNS exploit.
> Kai! - whereyabeen?!?
Jim? (i guess, because nobody else would use the word "whereyabeen") ;)
I'm still in Berlin. But i've played in the last two years a little bit more with Cisco stuff than with ISA.
Regarding the help... sure you can ping me via email. (kw at itacs dot de)

With the announcement that a student at the Royal College of Art in London has invented an edible RFID tag to track the nutrient value of our food, SimplyRFID President Carl Brown proposes that it may be time for the industry to explain its value.
"RFID is a useful productivity technology, which has the potential to bring manufacturing back to America. It has many constructive and positive uses for our society. Like any technology, it is a tool to be used by the community. A hammer can build a house, or a hammer can bop your neighbor over the head. I think it's time for the RFID industry to get a handle on what makes this technology good."
Brown says that eating the RFID tag adds no value. "All the information about the food is contained in an associated software database. It's not written in the tag. The label on the package can be RFID-enabled, and that would tell you everything you need to know. More information isn't added by eating the RFID tag."
Brown also has reservations about the recent rise in the use of RFID wristbands to update the wearers' Facebook pages regarding their entertainment activities and event attendance. "There are positive uses of the Facebook-RFID interface," Brown says. "For example, if an organic farmer drops off a bushel of non-GMO corn at the farmers market, I'd like the RFID tag on the basket to let me know on Facebook that I need to get down there before it's all sold out." But despite the positives of events with short time frames and capacity limits, Brown doesn't think RFID needs to be used in every case for all purposes.
"SimplyRFID provides RFID tags that cut manufacturing costs and help bring production back to America," Brown says. "We track inventory, assist in compliance with regulatory processes, and help to outfit our military quickly and efficiently. We believe we are contributing in a positive way to America's innovation and productivity. But we won't be selling edible RFID tags in any foreseeable future."

Just a sample of some of the great photo opportunities which are available at many of the beautiful wedding venues in Suffolk and Norfolk have a look at the portfolio to see many more of my favourite images and examples of Suffolk Wedding Photographers Work, first up an image which was taken on the main driveway of the Cornwallis / Oaksmere Hotel in Eye, the hotel has recently undergone extensive renovation works and is catering to its local customers. I am looking forward to when they start taking new wedding bookings as it has always been a favourite of mine.
Next we have Fran & Adam who got married at Wantisden Valley near Woodbridge – this image was after the meal in the early evening and was taken near the shepherds cottage, the image was lit with a portable flash which allows us to work inside or out whatever the weather is doing -it also allows great dusk effects as this was taken looking to the west towards Woodbridge, Suffolk.
One of my favourite images in recent years taken at Woodhall Manor, Woodbridge , Suffolk which is a fantastic wedding venue in the melton registrars patch, I normally photograph between 2 and 4 weddings here most years and it is one of my very favourite places to photograph an outdoor wedding ceremony. I took this photograph laying on the floor and got some funny looks from guests at the wedding, I hope you think it was worth it.
I just love this photo its just so full of colour and was taken amoungst the flowers in the park at Oulton Broad, the bride and groom are actually on a path working as the main wedding photographer I get the opportunity to choose where and how the images get created.
The opportunity for a photo like this happens for only 2 weeks a year, Dawn and Jamie got married at the Bull Hotel in Long Melford in West Suffolk – When you know the area you learn where to get the better image- they were a great fun couple and even climbed a tree over a river for a very different wedding photo.
Professional wedding photography has many challenges, but you also need some luck on occasions, I caught these three bridesmaids looking out of the window at Butley Priory and they didn't ever know I was there, I went to try and get them from outside as well but they had moved on with much excitement being had on the wedding day.
If the handful of images have made you think, then please take the time to view the larger portfolio on this website and examples of our work as passionate Suffolk wedding photographers, images are from many weddings that I enjoy on a weekly basis, there are also some complete wedding albums from our preferred venues to see what you could get from your suffolk wedding photography.

Luz Adriana, 36 years old, is a fighter who is convinced that with discipline and effort it is possible to get where you want to go. She says that although money has never been her greatest ally, she is always looking for opportunities that will allow her to improve her financial situation and offer her family a better quality of life.
A month ago, she made the decision to start her own business with her husband, so they opened a stationery store with the goal of satisfying an unmet need in her area and generating resources for household expenses and the education of their two minor children. Today she is asking for a loan that will go toward purchasing computer equipment, furniture, and stationery items. She hopes that her new business project will reach the break-even point and provide economic stability to her family.

Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

Cut the Taxman out of Your Will; Look at the Options: Expert Leonie Kerswill Recommends Downsizing Relief: Peter and Vivien Shoesmith Have Redrafted Their Wills
Byline: STEPHEN WOMACK
A generation of property-rich pensioners is desperately looking for themagic weapon to slay the dragon of inheritance tax. Rising house prices haveswollen the Government's take from IHT from [pounds sterling]3.3 billion in 2005 to anestimated [pounds sterling]4 billion this year. The property price boom is dragging an extra50,000 homes a year - almost 137 a day - into the IHT net, according to HBoS.
In the past older homeowners could gift their home to their family and carry onliving there. But the Govern ment has targeted this tax loophole. LeonieKerswill, tax partner at accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers, says: 'This is onearea that has been hit by the Government and it is difficult to have your cakeand eat it on gifting property now.' But with careful planning, a marriedcouple can pass on a property worth up to [pounds sterling]600,000 without paying a penny inIHT.
Andrew Priestley, head of technical advice at Skipton Financial Services, whichprovides specialist IHT planning advice, says: 'It pays to start thinking aboutthis as soon as possible and the best ways to reduce a potential bill usuallyapply to couples.' Dean Mirfin of adviser Key Retirement Solutions says: 'We'reseeing quite an increase in this area. More than 60 per cent of the clients wesee, who have an average age of 69, do not have a will. There is ample scopefor inheritance planning.' The first [pounds sterling]300,000 of an estate is free from IHT.This nil-rate band rises to [pounds sterling]312,000 next year and the Government has pledgedto raise it to [pounds sterling]350,000 by 2011.
Under normal circumstances, most people leave all their wealth to the survivingspouse on their death. But this effectively wastes one nil-rate band.
Priestley says: 'You can draft a will that creates a trust on your death.Assets up to the nil-rate band, which can include a share of your property, canbe left to the trust. It costs about [pounds sterling]500 to draft a pair of wills, but thepotential tax saving this year is [pounds sterling]120,000.' To include the house in a trust,couples must own the property as tenants in common, which mean each owns halfthe home. Transferring to tenancy in common from the more usual joint ownershipis a simple legal process costing between [pounds sterling]100 and [pounds sterling]150.
Peter and Vivien Shoesmith redrafted their wills earlier this year, taking thechance to create nil-rate band trusts. The couple, from Fleet, Hampshire, haveseen the value of their four-bedroom detachedLook at the options: Expert Leonie Kerswill recommends downsizing home rocketfrom [pounds sterling]11,000 when they moved there in 1970 to well over [pounds sterling]400,000 today. …

Not impressed
Although my expectations of this 2* hotel were low this hotel managed to not live up to them.
The pictures of the rooms did not meet what we actually found, the water temperature fluctuated to scalding to freezing (apparently it was fine!!). The décor is not only basic, it is worn and tatty. We had to make our way to the fourth floor. There was no lift which wasn't as much of a problem as the narrow and winding staircase with some doors so narrow I had difficulty getting through with my suitcase!

Basement room with no mobile service, meaning you have to buy wifi.
Steam from shower sets off fire alarm. Was kind of clean, but not in the details (found hair in my sheets). But very friendly staff. Probably fine for drunk 20-somethings.

If a hotel is expecting guests to provide proof of ID they should state clearly that this is a requirement when booking.
I do not carry ID as I do not live in a police state and I found the fact that I was asked for ID offensive.

Box Room
I had a basement room without a single window.
It is better described as a box room and at £75 for the night is robbery. Not described as this when booking and the "hotel" should make this clear to guests prior to taking the money.I would not have booked it otherwise. Single door to an adjoining room from where I could hear everything.

I was given a tiny room with barely enough space to move.
Hotel location is good, in central london. The breakfast is really good. You have to pay for Internet access. Room service is fair, at least rooms are cleaned daily.

Fit for purpose and great price. Will stay again.
Whenever I stay in a hotel I always think about the cost versus the hotel.
The price I paid for Hyde park accommodation was great. The room was clean and had everything you would need for a short stay. If there was anything that detracted from the room it was the shower which had really poor temperature control. I would stay again without hesitation.

Poor guest relations
The receptionist (who also claims to be the owner) was not very accommodating at all.
Her attitude was unwelcoming. We were put in a room right at the top, and there are no lifts. She could see that I was disabled and didn't offer to help, or perhaps search/offer another room that would be easier to access, given my mobility. Even if all the rooms were completely full, it would have been nice to of had an explanation/an apologetic recognition of the inconvenience. Instead she just played on her phone and didn't do anything. The room itself was very small. It was clean to some standard, however it could be cleaner. The decor was suttle and ok.
In terms of amenities in the room, it was good. For me personally I prefer to spend my money in a place where service does come with a smile. If you are just back packing and need a place to crash, and you don't need luxuries, such as a warm welcome, then this place is fine.

Rip off price
I received a very friendly welcome at the hotel however the reception area was really grotty and shabby.
The room had a strong smell of air freshner from the shower room covering the damp smell. The open hanging space for clothes had 3 hangers (children's aged 3-4) which were totally unsuitable to hang up a business suite. There was no physical lock on the door which as a single female I didn't feel happy about. I was keen to get out of the room as soon as possible and left very early the next day. Although this was booked through last minute and I assume therefore at a discount, it still cost £160 for 1 person for the night which was a complete rip off.

dark hole under ground
the room was underground with no windows...unlike the one shown in the promotional photograph.

Yep, I am not very keen on having a December or January baby...but after 6 1/2 years of TTC, I would be ecstatic with ANY due date! I'm trying to stay excited about December by just thinking that if I'm 2 weeks early it would be mid-December or up to 2 weeks late would be pushed into early January. My HEDD is approximately Dec 28 so the likelyhood of me having a baby right around Christmas is pretty slim. Either the very beginning of Dec or the beginning of Jan would be best. I'm basing my dates on a 34 day cycle...but I range from 30-36 days usually.

My bils b day is dec 26, gma Dec 27, mil jan 1 & ds jan 27.... Might as well throw 1 more in there! But i go a few weeks early. Dd was born exactly 3wks early & that was after stalling for 2 days. I still have 2 before i have to worry about a Christmas baby.

We always said that we would avoid November (deer hunting season) and December, but at this point we just want another baby. I had a miscarriage in November at 12 1/2 weeks and this will be our 3rd cycle TTC. Hoping this is our month!!
Ive always said no December baby because im a mid December baby and i hate it!
But...this month our hopeful edd is 12/5. I feel its early enough that im ok with it. Like others said at this point we just want a healthy baby
But next month i think we'll stop ttc for a month, even though it will kill me (hopeful edd would be 12/31 approx but because of health issues i could deliver early which would be christmas). But i just dont want my child to go through what ive gone through growing up and having a holiday bday. My parents tried really hard to make it special but it still sucked
Mommy to a beautiful little girl (7/11) :)
Praying for God to send us our rainbow!
Always remembering & missing my 4 angels
i would not have chosen December since i am a 1st grade teacher... but it's what we have!!! due... 12/26

BAGHDAD (AP) â An Iraqi official says that gunmen have tried to take over a small Sunni town in the county's west, sparking battles that left 11 people including six attackers dead.
Waqas Adnan, the mayor of Ana, said that the assault on the town started Tuesday at dawn when a car bomb exploded near the town's police station. The mayor says that about 30 gunmen attacked his house.
Adnan says his brother died in the two hours of fighting that ensued, as well as four policemen and six attackers.
Ana is 330 kilometers (200 miles) northwest of Baghdad.
Violence has spiked in Iraq in recent months as insurgents capitalize on rising sectarian and ethnic tensions. More than 4,000 people have been killed over the past five months alone, according to U.N. figures.

If I'm going to continue updating and posting lots of pictures, the Property thread seems like an inappropriate place for it all. So here I am.
The goal here is to create a castle that breaks the traditional mold of "Minecraft castle," which immediately brings to mind either the very simple, flat-walled cobble abomination or the truly extravagant, overly large FyreUK megabuild style fortresses. Something reasonable for Survival, but also aesthetically pleasing- something less like a castle and more like a community palace, if you will. I also wanted to add fantasy elements to the castle- again, building a straight up medieval castle, while cool, would still not look great.
So, that said, I popped into a new flatlands Creative world to scribble some ideas, using what I already have and improving upon it while taking into account the rough guidelines. The original walls were decently textured but too short- the new walls are more than twice that height, taking into account the wooden palisades. Also, they're significantly wider now, with both an interior and exterior walkway- part of the idea also being that the inside is comfortable and homely while still functioning in terms of defense. The new wall design features 4 different walking paths, on various levels, and each appearing differently so you can remain aware of where you are on the wall. Passage between walkways will depend- some may have frequent ladders to access upper and lower areas, while others will only have access from corner towers and gatehouses.
Another part of the overall plan was that the interior of the whole fort would contain all of the amenities of Survival living- a farm, stables, ironworks, shops, houses, some aesthetic and others utilitarian, but all fitting into the theme of the build as a whole. I have not yet decided whether these structures will be built into the walls themselves at various points, or remain separate.
The other idea I was tossing around, since this will take so many resources, was simplifying the big picture into just a small fort- one gatehouse, one tower, and the walls enclosing a well and a farm field. This seems like a likely option.
Also it looks pretty neat at night.
Now for a raft of images.
And for reference, the original wall design that I made without testing first. Silly me.
UPDATE: An example of a modest house or shop built right into the space beneath the interior catwalk.
