"Rabat" Top 5 Page for this destination Rabat by kit_mc
Rabat Travel Guide: 508 reviews and 1,251 photos
Getting back to Fes from Asilah proved more difficult than expected, so we opted to spend a night in Rabat, the administrative capital of Morocco. Rabat still has the trappings of Morooco's previous incarnation as French colony and as a result there's a feel of a decaying European mediterranean city. There's certainly a hustle and bustle, wider streets, bigger buildings, the collonades and pillars of the French era that you'd associate with a colonial capital, but still that slightly 'in-progress' feel to streets and architecture of a job not quite finished.
Notably, Rabat is one of the more cosmopolitan cities in Morocco, possibly as a result of the higher number of ex-pats, where you're most likely to see women pushing what would be the accepted Moroccan norms of modesty. So you'll see more women on the streets and in cafes, women smoking and socialising with men.
While we still stuck out as foreigners, we certainly received the least amount of hassle in Rabat, with perhaps one exception, which made me pleased to have stopped off here.
As we had only one day, and really only a few hours at that, the itinerary in Rabat was fairly pushed for time, so we relied heavily on taxis to see the sights. On locating a hotel in the Ville Nouvelle, we dashed out and hopped in a taxi straight to Le Tour Hassan (The Hassan Tower) and the Mausoleum of Mohammad V that are both perched on a hill above the city. The tower looms up like a great big block with its top lopped off. Construction of what was to be the biggest mineret in the world stopped abruptly when that sultan died midway through construction in the late 1190's. The Mausoleum is packed with visitors, both Moroccan and foreign, paying respects to the bodies of the present King's father and grandfather.
From here we were back in a taxi to Kasbah des Oudaias, a small Kasbah with some impressive walls and huge gate (Bab Oudaia) all built to protect from pirates in nearby Salee. This is where you're most likely to encounter faux guides. Ignore anyone who says that the Kasbah is forbidden to foreigners. You do not need a guide here.
After the Kasbah and a look across the bay to Sale from the Plateforme du Semaphore, we walked back through the Bab Oudaia gate and took a look in the hall to the side there that also houses temporary art exhibitions. From here, we crossed the road and took the main Ave Mohammed V through the Medina. The Medina here is very different to what we'd experienced in Fes and Chefchaouen, we weren't approached by anyone and were free to just wander around. In some ways it's maybe a little sanitized, so if you're looking for 'The Exotic' you're unlikely to find it here. From the Medina, we followed the Ave Mohammed V until we were back in the Ville Nouvelle.
Rabat is a really easy city to navigate, though if you've limited time, getting round fast you should be fine with taxis. Arriving by bus can be a bit of a pain, as it felt that we'd just been dumped in some side street so we really had no idea where we were. You'll probably be left off somewhere south of the main Ville Nouvelle so your only option will be to take a taxi north - I must admit that our first taxi ride in Rabat was a bit of a nightmare, clinging on for dear life and with the taxi driver bumping up the price a bit, but he did at least get us to where we wanted in, just about, one piece. Leaving, we took the much easier option of catching the train from the Gare Ville in the centre of town.
All in all, Rabat is one of the easier Moroccan cities to negotiate, with a certain European feel and generally less hassles. However, if you're searching out 'exotic colour', you may not want to spend that much time in Rabat. It makes a good stopping off place if you need a fix of burger, pizza, or just a few days sans the touts.

We can add something else, never trust unknow people calling themselves Guide or having knowledge of the city. In much case those people have bad intention. In the best case you'll pay for a service in the worst you'll be in trouble.
Thanks, was hunting for hotel reviews and saw yours....useful.
great page!
Nice page! I am amazed that the guards at the Mausolée Mohamed V asked money. That never occurred me. You were unlucky with the Faux guides: I was bothered several times in Marrakech but never in Rabat. But have a look at my Tourist trap Wil de Fes page!

Ichiro's trade to Yankees clears salary, way for younger players.
The Mariners without Ichiro didn't look much different, on the surface, than they did with him. They struggled to hit at Safeco Field and fell to the Yankees, 4-1. If this was the dawning of a new era, it began with an anticlimactic thud.
But Ichiro's departure is not only a watershed day in the organization's history, the latest in a long line of superstars who have departed. It also opens the path for them to hasten their rebuilding without having to pay heed to a franchise icon who was no longer a viable part of their future.
To his credit, Ichiro got it, and did the noble thing by asking the Mariners to trade him. While there might have been some self-interest involved — he goes from the basement to the penthouse, as far as the standings are concerned — Ichiro had such a hallowed place in the organization that if he had wanted to stay, the Mariners would not have stood in his way.
Indeed, Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln said Monday that they planned to pursue a contract extension after the season, and team president Chuck Armstrong added that they had approached the Ichiro camp as recently as June to see if they were interested in beginning those talks.

I've already gone on record with my opinion that it would have been a mistake to bring back Ichiro in 2013 (and certainly beyond), that the Mariners needed to open up right field to a rising young player like Casper Wells. Now they can do that, unencumbered by the looming presence of a legend like Ichiro.
"Obviously, it will be considerably different, but it gives us an opportunity to play another young player on a consistent basis," manager Eric Wedge said.
The players the Mariners got from the Yankees — two 25-year-old, right-handed pitchers — are almost an afterthought. One, Danny Farquhar, is with his fourth organization this season, while the other, D.J. Mitchell, profiles as a No. 5 starter if he continues to progress.
This wasn't about player acquisition. It wasn't even about the $2.5 million in salary relief the Mariners will receive from the Yankees this season. But it should be about using the $17 million removed from next year's payroll to pour into one or two star-level players to fast forward the rebuilding program.
Theoretically, Ichiro could still return to the Mariners as a free agent, but that's a far-fetched notion in light of the circumstances of his departure. Monday definitely had the feeling of the end of an era — one that should rightly be remembered for the brilliance of most of Ichiro's tenure, rather than for his lackluster last year and a half.
For a decade, Ichiro was a joy to watch, a thoroughly unique bat artist who sometimes confounded us but always enthralled on the field. You could quibble with some of his idiosyncrasies (and believe me, he irritated some teammates over the years), but I firmly believe he was a winning player who had the misfortune to be stuck on a team not equipped to win.
It wasn't always that way; the Mariners won 116, 93 and 93 games in Ichiro's first three seasons. But since 2004 — the year he set the major-league record with 262 hits — it has been mostly about futility. Now, while the Mariners go about their ongoing task of trying to build their way back to respectability, Ichiro can rejuvenate himself in a pennant race.
"Clearly he has a good shot at a world championship," Mariners outfielder Michael Saunders said. "That's the only thing missing on his résumé. The last handful of years have been disappointing for us, as well as the city of Seattle and this organization. But he's a winner. Hopefully, he does win a ring with them someday. That will complete his legacy. I'll always remember playing alongside him, and being a teammate and a friend."
It was a surreal scene Monday as Ichiro moved down the hall at Safeco Field to play with the Yankees, against the Mariners. As happens in baseball, sentiment quickly gets shoved aside, and players move forward. After Seattle's 4-1 defeat, the angst in the Mariner clubhouse was about another struggling offensive effort at home — just three hits — and the demotion of popular first baseman Justin Smoak. Ichiro's departure, a total shock before the game, had already been processed.
"Whatever. We were trying to win a game," Brendan Ryan said when asked about playing against his former teammate. "I think the shock of it was more before the game and leading up to it. It didn't weigh on me at all. No disrespect at all. I was just trying to focus on getting the job done."
Said Saunders before the game, after lauding Ichiro: "We're going to keep going. We're coming off a great road trip. Just because Ichiro got traded to the other side, we're not hanging our heads. We're going to miss the guy, obviously, not only personally but as a teammate and a baseball player. We're going to step up. We're not going to let this put a bump in the road for us."
When Ichiro came to the plate in the third inning, he was saluted by the fans at Safeco Field with a huge ovation. Catcher John Jaso said he gave Ichiro some gentle guidance.
"I knew what the crowd wanted," Jaso said. "I think Ichiro was just going to go in there and take an at-bat. I said, 'Hey, take a wave,' and started walking out to the pitcher's mound. It was a good, classy move by the fans."
Ichiro's agent, Tony Attanasio, said that the outfielder will keep his roots in Seattle.
"He loves Seattle," Attanasio said. "This is his home. He's not going to move. He's going to stay in Seattle."
A part of Ichiro will always be at Safeco Field. But his departure is the best move for him, and for the organization.

I have been inspired to offer the eight-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program at no upfront cost to people committed to learning and practicing mindfulness. Participants will only make a $100 upfront commitment fee to reserve their space and to offset some of the overheads including the cost of the handbook, CDs, and rent for the studio. After experiencing the full program, participants can make a donation based on the value they give to their experience. The donations can involve monetary reimbursements, volunteering services, and an exchange of other services and products that can be used at Downtown Mindfulness or to run the online mindfulness community, Mindful Universe.
This decision is inspired by my recent ten-day experience at the Vipassana silence retreat. Even though this is an inspired idea, I see three reasons for making the payment for the eight-week programs based on donation:
1) Accessibility: During the silence retreat, I experienced an urgency to make this knowledge accessible to as many people as I can. There are so many people – young and old - suffering in schools, colleges, relationships, and at work who can benefit from this secular set of practices that can help them change their habits of affliction at the source, thereby bringing clarity, peace, and choice. Even though I have always offered scholarships, not bringing money into the equation removes any barriers that money can impose on people, preventing them from the benefits of these valuable practices.
2) Value of Mindfulness: It is impossible to set an upfront value for this profound knowledge. Once people learn to practice mindfulness in these courses, they will continue to benefit all their lives, as long as they continue to practice. Practicing mindfulness can help people save money and peace of mind with respect to their health, work, education, and relationships. As such, it is better to allow people to offer a donation based on their actual experience of the benefits and their capability to make a donation.
There are people who cannot make a monetary payment for the benefits received and can offer services instead or people who make a bigger monetary donation can support people who cannot pay. My hope is that my willingness to teach for free with the intention to make mindfulness accessible to everyone looking for this knowledge, will inspire others to play their role in co-creating mindful communities.
3) Free from Expectations: Setting an upfront price creates expectations among participants and can raise issues that money sometimes creates. As such inviting the participants to dive into the program fully without a set price, will create a safe place, free of expectations, within which they can focus only on the program.
Mindfulness has been a gift passed on to me and I hope I can share it with as many people as I can. I hope that this new approach to making mindfulness available to people, will open up the way for many more people in my community to take the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction classes I teach in Downtown Mindfulness.
I don't want to imply that this model of donations is my creation because such models are successfully being used in different industries. See the Vipassana centers and Community Cafes launched by One World Everybody Eats for examples of similar pricing models. Even though I have been impressed by this pricing model, it is only now that it has come to me form within to remove any expectations that money raises in teaching mindfulness. I am happy to share this journey with you as it unfolds.
If any of you has used a similar model of pricing in your work, please share your experience here.
If you have any reflections or inspiration about this way of offering mindfulness, please share here.
I encourage other teachers, if you are able to, consider trying this model. If you do try this model please share your experience and lets explore ways to support the growth of mindfulness in our world.

Thank you for your reflections Deanna and Paul. I am coming to this place open to experimenting if it opens up the space for more people to attend while making it a sustainable practice for me. One thing I feel is that while earlier I was not comfortable charging because i was not sure if my services were good enough, now I feel I cannot charge a fixed price for this because this service is priceless. My hope is that it will even out with some people paying more and some less that what i used to charge but it will get many more people to take the classes. Will keep you posted :)
Wonderful offering, Shalini! Always a question worth asking of how to make training and classes on mindfulness available to broad populations and a teacher/trainer being able to meet family financial needs.
Money and Mindfulness. Definitely a relationship that deserves reflection, continued reflection. Asking for payment for mindfulness-based "services," if we want to use the language of commerce--and mindfulness has become a part of the health care "industry"--can produce feelings of confusion or guilt or even inspiration in the heart of someone who wants to help others. I think ALL these feelings are to be welcomed, and for a teacher devoted to mindfulness practice, these feelings are there not only to inspire reflection on "What are the logistical/pricing answers to resolving issues around these feelings?" This IS an important question, as the answers CAN remove the barriers that money creates. My experience is that these feelings are also there to be worked with on a personal level, as they help us break ground on really rich inner territory that can inform issues closer to home--self-concept, what I perceive I need to "give" versus what I perceive I am "not giving," motivations around self-concept that might be driving these perceptions, boundaries around time and how (for us householders) time is a form of currency that allows us to take care of commitments we've made to our families. These are lifetime questions, I think, and the logistical/pricing questions can be "career-long" questions for some teachers who will be lucky enough to find themselves engaged with the quandary of mindfulness and money. :~)

Oklahoma football: Landry Jones will remain as Sooners' starting quarterback
Landry Jones was the first to clearly state that he didn't have a good game Saturday against Kansas State.
The starting quarterback said the loss was "probably on me."
Then comes Monday, when the media is asking Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops questions. One of those questions referred to Jones' struggles and if those struggles continued if Stoops would consider replacing Jones.
Bob Stoop said this: "No."
And that's it.
No debate. No discussion. No maybe. Landry Jones is and will be the starting quarterback for Oklahoma for 2012, and Blake Bell will run his Belldozer package when needed.
Damien Williams busted off long touchdown runs in each of Oklahoma's first two games, but he only earned 10 carries in Saturday's 24-19 loss to Kansas State.
Williams finished with 36 yards; he had what originally appeared to be a 65-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter called back because of a holding penalty. Replays showed, though, that Williams had stepped out of bounds after about 10 yards.
Dominique Whaley and Roy Finch carried the ball before Williams got his first touch Saturday.
Coach Bob Stoops was asked Monday at his weekly news conference if Williams — who has rushed for 293 yards and five touchdowns through three games and is OU's leading rusher — should be getting more than 10 carries a game.
"Yeah; he needs to keep getting the ball more," Williams said. "Definitely. That's something we want to do."
He said he expects Williams' carries to increase as the season progresses.
Saturday, Whaley was Oklahoma's leading rusher with 56 yards on nine carries.
Oklahoma's Oct. 6 game at Texas Tech will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2, the Big 12 Conference announced Monday.
The network designation will be announced at a later date.
The Sooners (2-1 overall, 0-1 Big 12) are entering a bye week following their 24-19 home loss to Kansas State last weekend. Texas Tech opens its conference slate Saturday at Iowa State.
David King on what he'll tell the defense to pull them back together after the loss:
"Are we going to fold? How do you want this season to play out? Because it's really on us. The coaches can only do so much. They're not out there playing. It's us, the 11 guys on defense.
"What are we going to do? How are we going to respond to being hit in the face? Are we going to just sit there and take it and continue to lose to Tech and Texas and Notre Dame coming up? Or are we going to come out with a mentality like we have to get ourselves together?"

According to the company, it's the world's first "self-healing" iPhone cover: in other words, it quickly fixes (fine) scratches by itself. Nissan says they used their self-healing… Read More
New Nissan Leaf Models Will Feature Wireless Charging And Other Electrical Advances
We like the Leaf. It's not a good choice for everyone, but it's a great second car or city car, set back the most perhaps by the trouble one has to take in charging it. At home you are advised to spring for a high-capacity outlet, and abroad you must plan your trips to coincide with existing charge points. Anything that can make adding power to these cars easier will increase… Read More
A Ten-Minute Charger For The Nissan Leaf – In Time
One of the drawbacks of current (if you will) electric cars is the rather long time it takes to charge their batteries. We found with the Leaf that as long as you adapt your lifestyle to it a bit, it's not a problem, but the unexpected happens and it would suck to be at low charge when you suddenly need to get to the hospital, or what have you. Quick-charge solutions are out there, but… Read More
The Linux Foundation Announces First Ever Automotive Linux Summit
The Linux Foundation announced today the first ever Automotive Linux Summit. Taking place in Japan on November 28, 2011, it will be an opportunity to address the growing need for carmakers and Linux developers to collaborate on the future of cars as devices. Nissan and Toyota will both be there, along with Intel, NEC, and a host of other mobile solutions developers. Read More
CEATEC 2011: Nissan Showcases "Smart House Of The Future"
Next-generation homes are definitely one of the big trends at the CEATEC 2011 exhibition that currently takes place in Chiba, Japan. We have covered multiple "smart home" concepts from various Japan companies over the last years, and at CEATEC, Nissan's so-called NSH-2012 Smart House of the Future is stealing the show. It's not a typical home but rather a simple… Read More
Nissan Sticks QR Codes On Vehicle Window Stickers
Car buying sucks but Nissan is trying to make it suck less by putting QR codes on vehicle window stickers. The thought is that buyers might want a little more info than the Maroni providers, and these QR codes are a direct link to Nissan. Jon Brancheau, Nissan's VP of of Marketing calls the On Vehicle Graphics QR codes a "silent salesperson" but it's more like a… Read More
Nissan Adds New Features To The Leaf For 2012 Including A Higher Price
Consumers have spoken and Nissan has listened. The 2012 Nissan Leaf will now pack more standard features — and a noticeably higher price. Starting July 25 the second model year Leaf will be available for order in the Southeastern United States and Illinois. Consumers with existing reservations have first dibs, though. That is if those consumers are still on board after they see the… Read More
Nissan And 4R Testing New Solar EV Charging Stations
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and 4R Energy Corporation announced today that the two companies have developed and installed a new EV charging solution that combines renewable solar energy and high capacity lithium-ion batteries. The system was recently installed for testing at Nissan's global headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. The system uses the solar cells to collect the energy and a large… Read More
The Nissan Leaf Review: A Fun And Practical Electric Car For The Masses
If the road is smooth enough, you can hear birds chirping while you're going 35 mph. With the windows up. The Nissan Leaf is that quiet. When going less than 30 mph there's just a slight electric whine from the powertrain and above 45 mph the wheels produces a steady hum. But there's this special spot between 30 and 45 where the two combine in a way that they cancel each… Read More
Nissan's Nismo Racing Leaf Looks Great, Performs Adequately
Created for "a series of special demonstration appearances," this Leaf Nismo RC is a racing-based rethinking of the Leaf design and powertrain. They've shaved off about 40% of the weight, bringing it down to just over 2000 lbs, lowered it to have only 2.4″ of clearance, and of course switched it over to rear wheel drive. The performance is… well, we can't… Read More
PSA: Some Nissan Leafs Are Randomly Not Starting
Although I'm excited about the Leaf and EVs in general, the launch hasn't exactly been smooth. There have been shortages, range issues, and now some sort of bug with the AC unit that's causing some cars to not start at all. It's unclear how widespread the problem is, or what Nissan intends to do, but the consensus seems to be "if your Leaf gives you a weird error… Read More
The Nissan ESFLOW Concept Breaks Cover A Bit Early
Nissan's unveiling the ESFLOW EV concept at the Geneva Auto Show next month. Well, here it is. Click through for the interior shot. God I wish the CE industry had the guts to show-off their forward-thinking concepts — just the Microsoft Courier comes to mind. Anyway, the European auto show is actually expected to feature a fair amount of new production and concept vehicles with… Read More
Video: Nissan ESFLOW Concept Proves We Will Have Fast And Fun EVs Soon
The Nissan Leaf is a pretty neat car. It has no gas tank or combustion engine. Instead, it's powered by lithium-ion batteries and an 80kW electric motor. It lasts up to 100 miles on one charge. Unfortunately, the the Leaf isn't sporty or fun to drive. The only thrill you get is from driving one of the first EVs on the road. Nissan, however, is capable of making some pretty good… Read More
Nissan Leaf Gets European Car Of The Year, First Ever For An Electric Car
Never before has an EV been European Car of the Year; this year the Nissan Leaf gets it. Similar to the North American Car of the Year, which the Chevrolet Volt won, the European COTY is chosen by auto journalists; 58 of them from 23 European countries. The contest was very close. The Leaf rang up 257 points from the journos, besting the Alfa Romeo Giulietta by only 9 points. So why did the… Read More
Nissan Apologizes For Slow Leaf Rollout
Being the first affordable all-electric car on the market, the Leaf was kind of guaranteed to be a big seller. But their way of going about selling the thing seems to have given their customers unrealistic expectations of when their cars would actually arrive. People have been given extremely vague promises of when their car will arrive ("4-7 months"?), and theories have arisen in… Read More
Nissan Halts Leaf Pre-Orders At The 20,000 Mark
Hope you got your Leaf already ordered because otherwise you're out of luck, hippie. Nissan just stopped taking orders for its electric sedan now that there are 20,000 orders. That was the plan all along, however, Nissan didn't expect to hit this mark until December, which clearly states there's a demand for a polished electric vehicle. Hear that, Chevy? Your Cruze EV better… Read More
Nissan Announces Plans For A Pure Electric Van
Nissan announced plans to out a pure-electric commercial van by 2013. Details are a bit light , but apparently it will be about the same thing as Ford's upcoming Transit Connect Electric. It's easy to see where Nissan is going with this, though. It just makes so much sense. Read More
Test Drive: Nissan Leaf
I just had the opportunity to test-drive the new Nissan Leaf here in sunny Seattle, and had enough time with the car to garner some first impressions, take some pictures, and shoot a little video. The Leaf, as you are probably aware, is Nissan's new plug-in electric vehicle, and the first of the new generation of consumer EVs to be released here in the States. Sure, you've got… Read More

It depends on the cost. If its a $1000 giant iphone, it flops, bigtime.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. ~ George Carlin
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers
Looks like a giant Iphone. Consider me un-impressed.
No Flash. This won't replace any computer until that's in there. No better than an iphone really.
Who the hell came up with the name of iPad? That person should be fired on the spot.
iPad???? Are they kidding?

There is no charge to access your accounts, perform inquiries, transfer funds, etc. Our optional BillPay service is free for consumers but business members will be charged a fee of $6.00 per month. Please refer to our Pricing Schedule for any other charges that may apply to your account.
The information you see is the same information in the computer system at the time of your request. Most transactions you do through NEFCUOnline are effective immediately. For example, if you transferred money from a Share to Share Draft, the funds are immediately available. During times when the Credit Union is closed, some transaction details will not be immediately available. Those details will be updated at the start of the next business day.
Transaction data that appears in NEFCUOnline is refreshed each time NEFCUOnline is loaded. Consequently, there is no account data storage outside the Credit Union with NEFCUOnline.
Turbo Tax and FinanceWorks data is stored within Digital Insight systems. Digital Insight systems are secured with encryption, perimeter and internal firewalls, screening and filtering routers, intrusion detection, strict authentication, virus protection, and application security. Digital Insight network architecture is structured so servers that store member information are not directly connected to the Internet.
Additionally, Digital Insight employs policies and procedures to ensure the highest level of security throughout their organization including physical controls such as retina eye scan authentication for access to their data centers, administrative controls such as clear personnel policies and background checks, and a team of security specialists who provide 24/7 support. In addition, Ernst & Young performs an SSAE 16 Audit (the latest AICPA standard) of Digital Insight's service controls, and measures their effectiveness. This assessment includes physical facilities as well as Internet operations.
As always, some Credit Union employees have access to member financial data by virtue of their role at the Credit Union. However, that access is governed by internal policies and by several layers of security safeguards. In addition, the Credit Union's security is examined annually by external auditors and by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
No, your information is kept strictly confidential. NEFCUOnline requires a combination of the correct username and corresponding password to access any confidential information. Plus, login is only allowed from the device(s) that you have designated to have access to your account. Unless you share your login information with others and give them physical access to your devices or you opt to grant access to another user through the Shared Access (entitlements) feature, no one but you will be able to access your account information through NEFCUOnline or over the Internet.
Your Credit Union has taken many steps to ensure the security of NEFCUOnline. We provide system and transaction security through strong authentication, encryption and digital certification software. Access to your account via NEFCUOnline is only allowed through the devices you have designated to have access to your account. You will be required to use your username and a valid password to access the system. For your protection, your credit union recommends that you memorize your password and do not write it down (just like an ATM PIN). You should never give your password to anyone or let anyone see you enter your password when you are logging in to NEFCUOnline. In addition, you should change your password periodically and do not use easily identified passwords such as birth dates, years, etc. To better protect you, you will have only a limited number of tries to input the password correctly. If you accidentally become locked out of NEFCUOnline, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance.
Yes, you can use Shared Access (entitlements) to grant account access to designated individuals. As the account holder, you determine which accounts your subuser(s) should see and you choose whether you want them to have "View Only" access or whether you want them to perform certain types of transactions such as internal transfers and bill payments. If you opt to grant access to BillPay, you must set a per transaction limit. Any transactions submitted by a subuser that exceed this limit will require your approval before they process.
To get started, click on "Additional Services" and select "Share Access with Others" from the dropdown menu. This link will take you to the page where you can add subusers, manage their permissions, or revoke access at any time. If you have any pending transaction to approve, they will also be displayed at the top of this page.
Our login and security procedures protect against online fraud by providing an additional security step beyond your username and password through the use of a one-time access code. You will be prompted to provide up to two phone numbers that can be used to receive access codes via text and/or automated voice message. (If you are unable to receive a code by phone, you can also opt to have the code delivered by email.) Whenever you use an unregistered computer, you'll be prompted to choose how you want the access code to be sent from any of your previously established options. Access codes are temporary and must be used within 10 minutes or you'll need to request a new one. When the access code is entered successfully, we'll be able to confirm your identity and give you immediate access to NEFCUOnline.
After you have verified your identity by correctly entering a one-time access code, you'll be presented with the option to register the computer. If you are using a trusted device, you can select "Yes, Register this computer." With a registered device, only a username and password will be required to login securely in the future. If you select "No, This is a public computer," you will continue to receive the one-time access code challenge on that computer as an additional line of defense to prevent unauthorized access.
In order to access NEFCUOnline from a public computer, including those in NEFCU branches, you will need to have a mobile device that is capable of receiving a one-time access code via text, automated voice call or email.
You can update your login and security options, including username, password and security contacts, by going to NEFCUOnline and clicking on "My Settings" in the upper right hand corner.
During the registration process, you will be prompted to create a username. After that, you can update or edit all your security settings, including username, password and security contacts, by going to NEFCUOnline and clicking on "My Settings" in the upper right hand corner.
All new usernames must meet the following criteria:
During the registration process, you will be prompted to create a password. After that, you can update or edit all your security settings, including username, password and security contacts, by going to NEFCUOnline and clicking on "My Settings" in the upper right hand corner.
All new passwords must meet the following criteria:
If you forget your password, go to the homepage of www.nefcu.com and click on the "Forgot Password?" link in the NEFCUOnline login box. Follow the online instructions to confirm your identity and reset your password.
To better protect you, you will have only a limited number of tries to input your password correctly. If you accidentally become locked out of NEFCUOnline, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance.
To make a Principal Only Payment, go to Move Money > Make a transfer. Select the accounts that you want to transfer to and from and then enter the amount. In the dropdown menu for type of payment, choose "pay to principal." To complete this transaction, click "Make transfer."
Yes, our External Funds Transfer service allows you to move money between your NEFCU accounts and accounts you own at other financial institutions. Go to Move Money > External Funds Transfer to get started.
You can transfer to Share, Share Draft, Credit Card, Mortgage, Future Saver and Loan accounts in which you are primary or joint. The dropdown list of accounts will include those accounts to which you can make transfers.
You can transfer from Share, Share Draft and Line of Credit accounts in which you are primary or joint. The dropdown list of accounts will include those accounts from which you can make transfers. Accounts with no available balance will not show.
Yes, joint owners can make internal transfers to and from NEFCU accounts. However, to use our money movement services (External Funds Transfer and Popmoney) you must be listed as the primary account holder for the account to display as an option.
In order to transfer funds to non-jointly owned accounts through NEFCUOnline, you'll need to set up a "Transfer To Association." Once you have established a Transfer To Association with another member's account, the member number of that account will appear as a "Transfer To" option in your dropdown menu on the "Account Transfer" screen. You will be able to transfer funds into this account but you will not be able to remove funds, view account balances, or see any other information about the account. These associations are recommended for members who make repeated transfers to friends and family and not intended for one-time transfers. Please be aware that if a transfer is made in error, the funds cannot be returned without the other account holder's permission.
To set up a Transfer To Association, please stop by any branch or call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 for assistance. Transfer To Associations are limited to deposit accounts and cannot be established for investment or loan accounts, including Visa and mortgage. You will need to provide the name, member number, and account number to which you would like to transfer. Your request will be completed within one business day and the member you have asked to be associated with will also be notified that an association has been established from your account to theirs. Either member may request to have an association cancelled at any time by contacting NEFCU.
Alternatively, transfers to other members can still be done on Accountline or through TeleBranch. You can also use our Popmoney® service to electronically transfer funds to another NEFCU member or another person with any U.S. bank account.
To cancel a scheduled transfer on NEFCUOnline, go to Move Money> View Scheduled Transfers and click "Cancel". A message will display and you'll need to confirm that you want this transfer to be cancelled by clicking "Yes".
If you have a scheduled transfer or autopay that was set up by NEFCU, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance with deleting these transactions.
Yes, you will receive an email notification that your transfer failed.
Scheduled transfers in NEFCUOnline cannot be edited. If you want to modify a transfer, you must cancel the existing transfer and then schedule a new one by going to any transfer screen and clicking the "Repeat" option.
If you have a scheduled transfer or autopay that was set up by NEFCU, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance with edits to these transactions.
Scheduled transfers or AutoPays set up prior to October 21, 2011 will not appear on NEFCUOnline but will continue to process as scheduled. To modify these transactions, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance.
To view scheduled transfers initiated on NEFCUOnline, go to Move Money > View Scheduled Transfers.
If you do not have overdraft protection or courtesy pay, scheduled transfers set up on NEFCUOnline will not be processed if the full amount of the funds is not available. You will receive an email notification that your transfer failed. If additional transfers are still scheduled, they will be processed as planned if the funds are available.
If you have overdraft protection or courtesy pay, scheduled transfers set up on NEFCUOnline will still be processed even if the full amount of the funds is not available. Any applicable fees will also be applied.
Yes, you can set up scheduled transfers to pay your Visa. If you also have autopay set up for Visa, the scheduled transfer will affect the autopay as follows:
If you are set up to pay Ending Balance on Statement, and you make a scheduled transfer to pay the previous month's balance prior to the time autopay occurs (two days before the due date), no autopay payment will be deducted. If the scheduled transfer is made after autopay is run, you will have paid the balance twice.
If you are set up to pay Minimum Payment Due, and you make a scheduled transfer prior to the time autopay occurs (two days before the due date), the amount of your transfer will be deducted from the autopay amount. (Example - minimum payment is $75, you schedule a transfer of $50 prior to the time autopay occurs, then autopay will only deduct $25.)
If you are set up to pay a Fixed Amount, and you make a scheduled transfer which is less than the full balance on the card prior to the time autopay occurs (two days before the due date), autopay will occur and deduct the full fixed autopay. (Example - you schedule a transfer of $250, your autopay is set for $500. If your balance is greater than $250, the full payment of $500 will still be deducted by autopay).
Note: Autopay allows special options, such as always paying the minimum, or always paying the full balance. If you wish to set up autopay for Visa, call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790.
Through NEFCUOnline, you are not able to edit or delete a scheduled transfer that was set up by you or the Credit Union prior to October 21, 2011. To modify these transactions, you will need to call TeleBranch at 800-400-8790 or stop in to one of our branches for assistance.

W/T Coke Race - This is the first time Alaina rode Jude: she hopped up and went right in to compete!
Eq. Over Fences: As with their first show together, in this one Alaina wanted to do another class, but all that was left were the over fences classes. She hadn't gone over anything bigger than a groundpole before she went into the warm-up, but we knew Jude would take care of her, and he did: they won both their classes!
Hunter Over Fences: (Well, OK, more like Hunter BETWEEN Fences at this particular moment in time...) This was also the first time Alaina had cantered (it wasn't required for the class, but she decided to try it anyway), and she liked it so much that after the show we all stuck around and she practiced some more just for fun!
W/T Gymkhana - It's not all about the ribbons, but they do add some fun!
W/T Flag Race - This is their second show together; Carrie rides English, so Jude was introducing her to gymkhana AND western at the same time.
Giving a ride to a young beach-goer

Fun Show: Georgia's first show with Jude off the lead!
Parent/Groom Leadline - Plus a little sister, of course
Jude proving to Georgia that these little speedbumps are no big deal (they would make their over-fences debut together a few months later).
Leadline - Another of Jude's qualifications for sainthood: willing to appear in public in hot pink...
Leadline - I'd look like I didn't want my picture taken, too, if you dressed me like that!
W/T Command - Winter shows are great fun, too!
Showmanship - One of my favorite pictures ever!

Anne Curtis photo gallery. Click for more photos.
Anne Curtis' 13th year in showbiz seems to be quite a lucky year for her. In Your Eyes, her movie with ex-boyfriend Richard Gutierrez and Claudine Barretto premieres August 15; the hit reality talent search Showtime she co-hosts is now on its second season; and she is taping for an upcoming Koreanovela remake, Green Rose, with Jericho Rosales and Jake Cuenca.
Luck, though, hasn't always been on her side. She recalls a time when projects were scarce and she contemplated leaving it all to finish her studies in Australia, her homeland. But after accepting her first kontrabida role in hit teleserye Hiram in 2004 and transferring from GMA to ABS-CBN, she has been continuously in the limelight in various reincarnations. From playing a princess at 12 years old in her first big break Magic Kingdom, she went on to portray, among others, a goddess (Dyosa), a hunchbacked bell ringer (Kampanerang Kuba), and a Filipina who falls for the enemy during the Spanish occupation (Baler, for which she won Best Actress in the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival).
At the press conference launching Anne's latest endorsement, Whisper Cottony Clean, she revealed to the media her singing frustrations, her bugoy side in Showtime and her policy on mixing love and showbiz.
Anne Curtis does the Whisper dance at the Whisper Cottony Clean press launch.
What's new in Showtime's second season?
Siguro hindi sa akin but more on the contestants. Ang daming magagaling na naman, ang daming makukulit. But I have to say, 'yong batuhan naming mga hosts, 'yon talaga eh. I think that's the charm and magic behind Showtime. Kasi andun talaga 'yong bond at kakulitan na kahit 10:30 na ng umaga kami pumapasok, hindi ko nararamdaman na napuyat ako from taping. 'Yong mga feedback from Twitter, lahat talaga super tweet sila na nakakatuwa 'yong show, lalala...
The public sees a different Anne Curtis in Showtime compared to, say, ASAP.
'Yon nga 'yong pinag-usapan namin ni Direk na parang on ASAP you see [me with the] "It Girls" na pa-sosyal, fashionista. But I'm really bugoy and nalalabas 'yon sa Showtime. That's why it's effortless. Fun lang, walang script-script. Kulitan lang... Kahit puyat ako from Green Rose taping, diretso Showtime, walang pagod.
Vhong Navarro and Anne Curtis in Showtime.
Is it true that you're uncomfortable with Showtime co-host Vhong Navarro's teasing?
Hindi ako naiilang, sanay na nga ako sa kanya eh. Siguro nung una, pero ngayon hindi na. Nakakatawa na lang.
Showtime judge Vice Ganda said he's leaving the show for a while.
Sabi niya pero hindi pa siya umaalis. I understand Vice; minsan nakakapagod talaga lalo na 'yong pa-sample every day for nine months. I think what brings him back is the love for the madlang people and for the contestants.
Vice Ganda gives in to the crowd's "pa-sample" demand.
Rumor has it that his talent fee has increased.
Hindi, hindi naman gano'n.
Your contract with ABS-CBN is about to expire. There are speculations that you might transfer to another network or demand a larger talent fee.
Ano ba 'yon, nakakatawa naman 'yong issue na 'yan. It's actually the first time I heard about it... Ang taray naman nun! I'm not really in [this business] for the money. It's more for the passion. I just discovered hosting and andun 'yong passion talaga.

text: Check out www.pure-gas.org for a listing of service stations that sell non-ethanol fuel. I've been finding it at marina's usually in 89 octane. It is now considered " recreational fuel " for boats, 4 wheelers, etc. Supposedly regular service staions will have different colored pumps for recreational fuel. What are some thoughts on this subject?
