Reviews of this property
We are quite disappointed because of the following reasons:
1. The room has not the key, so It is possibile that someone enter in It, which happened ( She enter, without asking, to take the towels, when we were out).
2. She has a cat, and lots of carpets: don't go if you are allergic.
3. You can't use the TV and the living room in photo
4. They are very immature: when there were some misunderstanding, they got angry and She also rifused to talk to us, denying her responsibility.
5. We asked if we could cook dinner with our food, and she said yes. We asked twice if we could use washing machine, and she said yes. We did, and they got angry, denying the permission done before.
6. She said that we would had done the breakfast out the sunday. What?!
7. What breakfast?! A cup of long Coffee.
8. He got angry because we use 2 towels per person, but this towels was smaller than a towel for hands.
9. She, at the beginning, behaves with us as if we were idiots, and then seems that she laughs because of our activities in Hamburg, and in Italy.
10. They make us feel unaccepted.
The room is clean and you get plenty of clean towels. The bed is a bit small, but you can sleep in it with two persons if you don't mind. The room is at the fourth floor, there is no elevator.
Ulrike is kind and does her very best to give you a pleasant stay.
Mind you, that although you have your own (lockable) bedroom, you stay in her house and not in a separate part of the building. We think this is ok for one night.
You get a simple but fine breakfast with bread, fruit juice and a generous amount of scrambled eggs. A more sweet breakfast with jam, etcetera. is also possible.
If you book this room because of free parking, ask Ulrike if the locked free parkinglot is available. Parking in the street is free but not safe, Ulrike warned us for a car with smashed windows. We parked our car at ARCOTEL for 16 euros for 24 hours, which isn't free… but a lot safer.
Although it's near the citycentre, the neighboorhood isn't a "mustsee".
The apartment is situated very strategically, close to the central station, the Alster, and the street Die lange Reihe with a lot of nice restaurants, all walking distance. Ulrike is a very friendly and caring host. She really puts a lot of effort into preparing a breakfast that you will like. The room is simple but comfortable. Excellent value for money.
The place is not suitable at all for families or women travelling alone. The neighbourhood is pretty weird, to say the least. The apartment was very hard to find (there is no sign board for this street) and is located on the 4th floor (no elevator, you have to climb the stairs of a building that looks uninhabited).
The breakfast was very modest and the internet was not working. We decided to book this place because the reviews were very encouraging but we were unimpressed.
Ulrike is very nice and accommodating, flexible in the arrangements, very attentive to their guests. The apartment is clean, breakfast extensive, the room is lockable and has its own keys to the apartment.
The apartment is on the 4th or 5th floor in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood (the mosque is across the street). Since it is a old building, the entire apartment is very loud, even though she is very elongated.
It is recommended to prefer to travel by public transport.
The theme of Christianity is far too present, we have to cross slept under a picture with lamb through and over an approximately one-meter cross was painted on the wall.
Apart from that we liked there.
Ulrike ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend, flexibel in den Absprachen, sehr aufmerksam gegenüber ihren Gästen. Die Wohnung ist sauber, das Frühstück umfangreich, das Zimmer ist abschließbar und es gibt einen eigenen Schlüssel für die Wohnung.
Die Wohnung liegt im 4. oder 5. Stock in einem muslimisch geprägten Kiez (die Moschee ist direkt gegenüber). Da es sich um einen Altbau handelt, ist die gesamte Wohnung sehr hellhörig, obwohl sie sehr langgezogen ist.
Es ist zu empfehlen lieber mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln anzureisen.
Das Thema Christentum ist viel zu präsent, wir haben unter einem Bild mit Lamm mit Kreuz durch geschlafen und gegenüber war ein ca. einen Meter großes Kreuz auf die Wand gemalt.
Davon abgesehen hat es uns dort gefallen.
Apartment was all in Ornung.Frühstück OK.Kann
it was good empfehlen.Vermieterin OK.Dieter

The room is clean, the service good. I just was not clear before that I will stay in a room that is decorated with religious symbols on the wall and corresponding pictures. While it is a matter of taste, but you can avoid a lot of misunderstandings thereby. Ulrike is very nice person. has to live in your fun.
Das Zimmer ist sauber, der Service gut. Mir war nur nicht klar vorher, dass ich in einem Zimmer übernachten wird, das mit religiösen Symbole an der Wand und entsprechendem Abbildungen dekoriert ist. Es ist zwar Geschmackssache, Aber man kann viele Missverständnisse dadurch vermeiden. Ulrike ist sehr nette Person. hat Spaß bei Ihr zu leben.

Ulrike is a very nice open and caring hostess, the apartment is nicely decorated and very clean. Staying with your highly recommended.

Children learn to read if they are surrounded by language. The television program, Between the Lions, can contribute to the sights and sounds of words through its programs of stories, tongue twisters, rhymes, and other word games and songs.
Between the Lions is produced by WGBH Boston and Sirius Thinking, Ltd., and is funded in part by a Ready To Learn grant from OII in the U.S. Department of Education through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The television program has been endorsed by the National Education Association. In addition to the television program, Between the Lions has a website with stories, games, and songs, plus a newsletter and recommended books. [Note: Between the Lions received an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Children's Series, 2004] (Feb. 2005)

Hey Man, you are quite on top of it!
Batteries with communications is where you need to be ready!
7.62X25 ammo ready to rock.
Some good ole 9mm Luger too.
Not that I put faith into the Mayan calendar, however, its getting alot of press. What are the TOP TEN items that you would consider as a "MUST"
if things do go south?
Here is my top ten proof list (in no specific order)
drinking water
Canned goods(food)
Multi purpose knife
lighters/waterproof matches
chlorine bleach/water tablets/water purification
clothes(suited for weather)
*tradeable items(if applicable)
AM/FM/NOAA/2 way radio w/batteries
*vocation/trade skill
ok, so its more like 12 , but you get my point. My vocation is auto repair, fill in the blank for yours.what did I leave out? What would you have at your house in preparation of the End of Days?
Hey Man, you are quite on top of it!

If it was going to be the end of days then a good torch, plenty of toilet paper and ample supply of tea, sugar and milk. Comfy chair to sit back and keep and eye on the news. If it turned out that things were really looking bad, then it would be time to pack up the tea, sugar and milk. Chuck a deck chair in the car kind of quickly like, and head for the hills. Not forgetting the toilet roll, I know we could use tissues but come on guys, it wouldn't be right. Now if the hairy hand of god was to shine up on us, we might well be back in our homes by tea time, if not supper time the latest, just in time to put a quick brew on, check the news and get a good night sleep. So I would certainly add toilet roll, tea, sugar, milk and a deck chair to the list.
Wild Turkey, lots of it
some form of entertainment would be nice too like if you could grab a deck of cards on your way out.
I am going to wait for FEMA to take care of me and my family. LOL
Sounds somewhat like a bug out list so I would think a reliable 4x4 would be high on the list.
If for at home the list could be endless I guess.
Hand tools
Any foreseeable needed medicine
One thing you missed, a GPS to find your cashed items and a way to navigate around bad areas.

Standing off many crazies in the setting of a big city.
Is this even possible?
Making a run for it when the alarm has already sounded will be pointless.
Leaving so much behind you would NEVER be able to carry away is horrible!
Having your wits about you to do the right thing(S) in the situation is of the greatest importance.

By Richard Weeks
Students with disabilities represent 14 percent of students -- about one in seven -- in U.S. schools -- and the numbers are rising. In Massachusetts, for example, the percentage of students requiring special education services has steadily increased from 15 percent in 2001 to 17 percent in 2008. As you know, special education costs make up a substantial percentage of school budgets. During the same time, those cost as a percentage of overall budgets increased from 17.1 percent to 19.4 percent.
One reason for the increase in children with special needs could be that medical professionals have been doing a better job at detecting disabilities in children, including autism. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism affects one in 110 children in American schools. With these factors in place, districts can expect their special education obligations to grow.
As schools continue to face state budget cuts and other economic pressures, school boards and administrators increasingly may consider outsourcing special education services as a way to contain costs. However, outsourcing is not a simple solution, and many factors need to be included in the decision.

A few almost thoroughly useless statistics relating to P.K. Subban's first career NHL hat trick Sunday night in St. Paul against the Wild:
• This was the 362nd hat trick scored in the life of the NHL Canadiens, from 1917-18
• It was the 396th hat scored in the lifetime of the Canadiens, including their NHA years from 1909-10 to 1916-17
• Subban's hat was the first scored by a Habs defenceman since Sheldon Souray turned the trick on Dec. 18, 2003 against Nashville
• Subban's hat came 36,950 days after Newsy Lalonde had scored the Canadiens' first-ever on Jan. 19, 1910, the Habs' first game
• Arguably, this was the first hat scored by a Habs rookie defenceman. Use an asterisk with Didier Pitre's three hats scored in 1910-11, during which he was listed as a forward and a defenceman and there was some debate whether he was a rookie, having played a handful of games the previous season.
We now return you to useful posts.

Prime Minister John Key raised the issue of the New Zealand Arctic protestors with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Apec in Bali, Indonesia, but it was not by way of protesting their treatment.
Mr Key said he asked him if he was aware that two New Zealanders had been arrested by Russia in their response to a Greenpeace protest on an oil platform in the Arctic Sea.
"What was quite clear was that he was absolutely aware of it, he was aware that there were New Zealanders, he was aware that the [Foreign Minister] had raised it, and he gave me an assurance it would flow through the appropriate Russian judicial system."
Mr Key said he did not know what the protestors would be ultimately charged with "but all I can say is he gave me an assurance it would be a proper process."
Charges of piracy have been laid against the 30 Greenpeace activists including two New Zealanders, Jonathan Beuachamp and David Haussman, and could face 15 years jail terms if convicted.
Today a regional court in Murmansk turned down bail pleas from three Russians including Denis Sinyakov, a former AFP and Reuters staff photographer.
The judge also refused to release on bail the ship's doctor Yekaterina Zaspa and Greenpeace spokesman Andrei Allakhverdov, their lawyers and the environmental lobby group's representatives said.
Greenpeace said it expected bail hearings for the remaining crew members to continue later this week.
Mr Key said "in the end people need to consider their actions - the risks or otherwise - and I'm sure those protestors thought about all those issues.
"We are going to do our best to continue to advocate for them and make sure they are properly looked after but in the end we cant interfere in their system any more than we would interfere with a Russian citizen who was facing charges in New Zealand.
"We would let it run its judicial process."
Mr key and Mr Putin had their brief conversation after the leaders' photo on Tuesday morning.

Help me understand
non admin User downloaded a zip file, and scanned it with MSE. While MSE didnt alert (strangely) it did in fact detect a trojan in the zip file and it was supposedly removed.
After the scan the user preceded to unzip the supposedly now clean zip file. This triggered some kind of malware that killed MSE, User immediatly took remediatory action.
Now, it appears to me that one of several possibilities existed... here are my thoughts:
original trojan was easily detected, was this intentional, perhaps luring the target into a false sense of security?
traditionally trojans drop files, or provide access through which further comprimise can occur. There have been no indicators of further comprimise, what am I missing?
What caused MSE to be killed? I know that commands can be executed to kill AV, but they generally require Admin or SYSTEM privlidges, user was un-privlidged. I thought maybe some sort of client side exploit to gain privlidges. I'm just not sure.
Finally, the user immediatly pulled the network cable, scanned the computer in safe mode, and regular mode with up to date scanners (3) and nothing else was detected, but can we trust this? outside of MSE which was originally killed, the other software installed at the time did not stop or detect an attack. In addition the user ran a networksniffer, and did not detect any malicious traffic after the comprimise...

text: I had the rear axles out of my 2000 Yukon 1500and was disturbed by the looks of the gears. Both drive and coast sides of ring gear had dull finish over the entire face. There was NO discernable wear pattern and the surface was very smooth to the touch and no groves or any such thing. I expected to see a highly polished surface as i have in the past (15-20 years ago) and I am somewhat concerned about this so my question(s) is/are is this normal and if so what has changed. Oh and I have 120,000 miles on truck, no gear noise and have owned it only two years so can not say for sure if it is original or repaired/replaced. Also not able to get a good look at the pinion gear but appears the same.

A hectic day left me feeling pretty cranky by the time lunch was over. There was a rush out the door taking us to the local rink. When our troupe got there, something magic came over me. I remembered what it felt like again to walk in the snow toward the monkey bars. Then I realize -- each day, from start to finish is a gift.

I was able to attend EAS in boone and I thought I would share my notes on SHB.
Dr. Mike Hood from Clemson University conducted a study comparing two Small Hive Beetle traps (SHB). The Hood beetle trap (a bit self serving) and the Freeman trap. The Hood trap is a small box that mounts on a frame with an attractant that kills the beetles. The Hood trap was modified so it would be even with the frame top bar. The Freeman trap mounts under the hive and uses used vegetable oil in this case to kill the beetles.
There were multiple apiaries with hives and traps and control hives with no traps so the test was conducted in a scientifically correct manner over a 4-7 week interval.
Both traps caught beetles and the counts were fairly close.
At the end of the test all hives were shaken out and the beetles remaining in the hive were counted.
Freeman trap had 50 beetles remaining.
Hood trap had 70 beetles remaining.
The CONTROL hives had 80 beetles remaining.
Dr. Hoods conclusion was that trapping beetles MAY attract more beetles.
Another test is under way with the Freeman trap, Hood trap and Better Beetle Blaster trap.
Reported Thursday August 5th at the 2010 Eastern Apiculture Society meeting in Boone, NC.

Epilepsy and depression are common co-morbidities. Concern for the potential of certain antidepressants to induce seizures has led to under-treating depression and anxiety disorders in epilepsy patients. Research presented today at the 66th American Epilepsy Society meeting suggests that antidepressants in normal dosage may have a positive impact on both mood and seizure frequency.
A research team at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, conducted a retrospective study of 100 consecutive epilepsy patients started on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). The purpose of the study was to establish the impact of these antidepressants on seizure frequency, and to determine whether an improvement in seizure frequency correlated with a decrease in depression and anxiety.(Platform C.05)
Changes in mood and anxiety data were obtained at three and six months. Excluded from the analysis were patients who had had anticonvulsant drug or procedure changes at the time of antidepressant introduction. Improvements and/or remission of symptoms were observed in 86% of patients who continued in the study.
According to lead investigator Ramses Ribot, M.D., "SSRIs and SNRIs do not appear to worsen seizure frequency and yield a good therapeutic response independently of seizure frequency. Our studies also suggest these antidepressants may actually have an anti-seizure effect in patients with frequent seizures."
The findings are potentially of broad interest to treating physicians. However, the researchers say their findings need to be confirmed in prospective double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials.

If this forum is like any of my other interest-related forums (which in my case are old motorcycle related), the number of posts asking for help or declaring a problem far outnumber the posts announcing successes. Because that's the nature of many forums - people come for some chit chat but mostly to ask or answer questions, to ask for help and to be helped.
As I read through the myriad posts on swarming, mites, diseases, low production, queenlessness, etc. I can't help but wonder what the general success rate is among beekeepers.
Do most people lose or have difficult problems with their first few hives - or do they have mostly hives that make it through the summer and winter and provide honey for the keepers without too much need for intervention?

It's time for all three actors to move on with their careers. I believe Rob and taylor have a brighter future in becoming good established actors. As for Kristen she needs to find other creative ways of translating her energy and intellectual capacity, why not consider being a producer more than an actor, she needs to expand her horizon, probably produce movies for Rob would be a real team efforts and that's for the long haul for the two of them! Thank you for inspiring us all, we love you guys! Great work, well done. Take a break before taking on the next projects..you guys deserve it. Have a wonderful life…God bless..

When Kristen commented after her affair was reported that "she had ruined everything", she wasn't kidding. All the actors had grown into their parts and the basic premise of the stories was Bella's innocence. We thought of Kristen that way, unfortunately and she certainly ruined the love story of Kristen & Rob, didn't she? I loved watching the transition of Rob's personna in the other movies he made such as the young college student in Remember Me and then the Vet School grad in Water for Elephants. It was interesting to see him grow as an actor at the same time that he was maturing. I thought he really nailed the birthing scene in BD1. Would love to see Cosmopolis to see how he has progressed from Twilight. Will be seeing BD2 tomorrow and a couple of other times before the DVD comes out – then goodbye y'all.

No Jeanne you and the other fans ruined everything It was not Kristen . She did not cheat on anyone. Kristen was in a park all right she was playing golf with her father at the time on the so call affair. As I said you and the other fans ruined everything you did not investigate the truth of the lie o Kristen cheating. you help the media spread this lie by commenting on it as the truth, But as I said it was a lie . All the photos were photosohp . Robert know that Kristen did not cheat on him You did not see a live video of Kristen apologize to any one . Not a live video of Robert leaving Kristen only the media saying he did. The media wrote the story as they like. They saw Robert and Kristen going about their life. And YouTube debunked this story But as long as we write about this lie as truth The media will write more

L am writing for MADDIE No did you see any live videos with words coming from their mouths??? Every time the media tell you a story. There is never a live video of that person. Only old picture of that person. The media wore out that blue dress on Kristen. Just think about what you were seeing in this story telling by the media.No live videos of the person saying these words. No new clothing on people they were talking about. Only when that person had to come out for advent. And then you see them in though cloth. You can say it the truth, when see that person mouth moving with diffident cloth on. You only help the media spread this lie Go to Google ask if Kristen Stewart cheating photos fakeThat if you want to know. And Robert Pattinson to tell you some thing on YouTube [ i`ll be your strength ]

For months, we've been teased about Breaking Dawn — Part 2's "twist" ending. The movie follows Stephenie Meyer's book closely, up until the point where Alice (Ashley Greene) enters the climactic scene to defend vampire-human hybrid Renesmee's (Mackenzie Foy) existence. She presumably shows Aro (Michael Sheen), through her thoughts, that she knows there is no threat and thus Renesmee and the Cullens should be left alone. But then she realizes that it doesn't matter — Aro wants a fight no matter what. She mouths "now" to Bella (Kristen Stewart), who sends Renesmee off with Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Then Aro gives an order, and the Volturi guards take Alice away. Trying to protect his daughter, Carlisle (Peter Facinelli) charges after Aro. Sadly, the vampire-doctor loses his head to the Italian ruler, sparking the battle between the two sides. Many end up dead, including Jasper (Jackson Rathbone), Jane (Dakota Fanning),Caius (Jamie Campbell-Bower), Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Aro — who is killed by Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella themselves. However, right after Bella finishes the Volturi's leader off — the scene changes, and we're back to Alice and Aro touching hands.
Such trickery! Alice was just showing Aro what the future would have been if the two sides fought — because of Bella's super special mind shield, the Cullens and co. were on equal footing with the Volturi. A battle would mean losses for everyone.
The rest of the movie carries out much like Meyer's writing. Alice's witnesses — half-human/half-vampire Nahuel (JD Pardo) and his aunt Huilen (Marisa Quinn) — explain that Renesmee will reach maturity seven years after her birth, and that she is no danger to the vampiric lifestyle. The Volturi leave, the Romanians are upset there wasn't a fight, the Denalis mourn the loss of their sister Irina, the rest of the vampires make their way home and everyone lives their "small but perfect piece of forever."

CT angiograms are usually performed in the radiology department of a hospital or an outpatient imaging facility.
Just before you begin your scan, you'll need to remove clothing above your waist, as well as any jewelry. You'll change into a hospital gown.
Because your heart's constantly in motion while it beats, your doctor may give you a medication called a beta blocker, which will slow your heart rate. This will allow the doctor to see your heart more clearly. Some people have side effects from beta blockers, such as shortness of breath or wheezing in some people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Let your health care provider know if you've had side effects from beta blockers in the past.
Some newer CT machines can be used without slowing the heart rate down. However, when beta blockers can be used, a slowed heart rate generally produces the clearest CT images.
A technician will insert an intravenous (IV) line in your hand or arm to inject the dye that will make your heart's arteries visible on the images taken by the CT scanner. You'll receive some numbing medication before the IV is inserted. Although the actual scanning portion of the test takes as few as 5 seconds, it may take up to an hour for the whole process because beta blockers need time to slow your heart rate sufficiently.
The technician will place some electrodes on your chest to record your heart rate throughout the exam. When you're ready to be scanned, you'll lie on a long table that slides through a short, doughnut-like machine.
During the test, an X-ray tube will move rapidly around your chest to take images of your heart from many different angles. You won't see the tube moving.
A technician will operate the machine from a room that's separated from your exam room by a glass window. There will be an intercom system the technician can use to talk to you.
It's important to stay as still as possible and hold your breath during the scanning portion of the exam. Any movement can blur the X-ray images.
After your CT angiogram is completed, you can return to your normal daily activities. You should be able to drive yourself home or to work.
The images from your CT angiogram should be ready soon after your test. Usually, the doctor who asked you to have a CT angiogram should discuss the results of the test with you.

Serves 8
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 75 min.
Step 1
To prepare crust: Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F.
Step 2
Stir whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is a light, nutty brown, 30 seconds to 4 minutes (depending on your stove). Pour into a small bowl and let cool. Stir in oil. Using a fork, slowly stir the butter-oil mixture into the flour mixture until it is crumbly. Gradually stir in enough ice water so that the dough will hold together. Knead the dough in the bowl a few times to help it come together. Press the dough into a disk.
Step 3
Place the dough between sheets of parchment or wax paper and roll into a 12-inch circle. Remove the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Remove the remaining paper and patch any tears in the dough. Fold the edges under at the rim and crimp with a fork.
Step 4
Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove the foil or paper and weights and continue baking just until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes more. (The crust will not be fully baked.) Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.
Step 5
To prepare filling: Whisk eggs and egg whites well in a large bowl. Add milk, evaporated milk, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and cayenne, stirring gently to avoid creating many bubbles.
Step 6
To assemble & bake quiche: Sprinkle Gruyère, ham and scallions over the bottom of the prebaked crust. Carefully pour in the filling. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake the quiche until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before serving hot or warm.

Q: I will shortly be moving overseas and am not sure when I'll return - it will be something like three years minimum.
At present I have around $15,000 in my KiwiSaver account.
If I am overseas and therefore not a New Zealand tax resident am I right to think that I will not receive the government's $521 credit because it is a tax credit and I won't be earning?
If not, am I better off applying to withdraw my KiwiSaver on the grounds of permanent emigration, or to let my relatively meagre funds sit there while inflation hikes and fees eat it away?
Yes, only those resident in New Zealand are eligible for member tax credits.
If you leave mid-way through a year - the member tax credit year runs from July 1 to June 30 - you might be eligible for a partial credit for that year.
If you're considering a permanent emigration withdrawal, you won't be allowed to withdraw any member tax credits - these will be repaid to Inland Revenue.
As to whether or not you should withdraw - a financial adviser will be able to help you assess your situation.
If you're moving to Australia, transtasman super portability is expected to take effect in July 2013 (once the necessary legislation is passed by the Australian Government). Once the legislation is passed, Kiwis who emigrate to Australia will be able to transfer their KiwiSaver account balance to an Australian super scheme (assuming their KiwiSaver scheme participates in this voluntary scheme).
While itwon't be possible to make a permanent emigration withdrawal from KiwiSaver when moving to Australia, this will be a great way to consolidate retirement savings.
Mark Fitz-Gerald, Westpac head of investments and insurance.
Q: I'm already in KiwiSaver but since the current government's significant changes I'm wondering whether it's still a competitive retirement investment? Or should I put my money elsewhere?
In the first five years there have been some government changes to the scheme, however the benefits of KiwiSaver are still pretty compelling.
If you are on a salary and making contributions to the scheme then in most circumstances you are eligible for employer contributions.
The minimum contributions are set to rise from 2 per cent to 3 per cent in April 2013. The government also makes contributions up to a maximum of $521.43 per year through the member tax credit.
KiwiSaver is very competitive when you consider the contributions coming from three sources and investment returns on top of that.
David Boyle, ANZ Wealth general manager funds management.
Q: I'm one of the KiwiSavers who have reached the stage where I can withdraw my funds being over 65 and 5 years in KiwiSaver.
I'm with Mercer. Just looked at what I need to do to withdraw my funds. I need to get certified copies of my passport page or a certified copy of my birth certificate plus a certified copy of a photo ID. I am then required to visit a JP or someone authorised and make a statutory declaration that I want to move my money out of Mercer.
I'm reminded of the hoops that the dodgy finance companies put people through to avoid payouts. I work in human resources so I do understand the need to check identities - but this is way over the top.
A statutory declaration is required by all KiwiSaver providers to pay out final member tax credit entitlements following requests for withdrawal.
Mercer seeks confirmation that, during the period of KiwiSaver membership, a member's principal place of residence is New Zealand and they have not lived or worked overseas.
If individuals do not meet this specification, it's important they let us know as we're obliged to refund that portion of the member tax credits back to the Government.
Providing certified copies of ID documentation ensures that the funds are paid to the correct person and confirms their eligibility to make a withdrawal.
We suggest members arrange ID certification at the same time as making the statutory declaration as certification can be done by the same authorised person.
Mercer recognises that not all members will be withdrawing their KiwiSaver after becoming eligible but may want to draw down a portion of their savings, so we offer flexibility on how members can withdraw their KiwiSaver entitlements.
Depending on specific circumstances and arrangements with employers, members may continue to receive employer contributions or contribute themselves, while making regular or partial withdrawals and keeping their KiwiSaver account open.
Mercer posts a letter to members who become eligible over approaching months to ensure they are aware of all their options and processes when withdrawing their KiwiSaver entitlements.
Martin Lewington, head of Mercer New Zealand.

Thanks for posting that,, been looking for one for the truck,,that answered some questions for me.
Found this on the M14 Forum, shows how easy it is to open gun locks and small safes!
Thanks for posting that,, been looking for one for the truck,,that answered some questions for me.
I suspected those small handgun safes were not very secure and the video confirms it.
The last one looked pretty good and would work well attached to a pillar post in a car or truck and attached in such a way it would be hard to get a pry bar at it. That's the best option by the looks.
Yeah I posted on that when the whole "in plain sight" safe discussion was happening. Lots of good stuff there. I've been looking for some of those "good" locks and found them on Amazon, among other places.

Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
I'm thinking, on the front hinge pillar next to you're left foot, my cab has an open spot there and it would be a bitch to get any kind of pry bar on it once mounted ,if semi tucked under the dash. I want it just for secure hidden storage more than for quick access. I'll have to check on sizes after I measure and see if that last one with a upgraded lock would be available to fit that spot. Otherwise,,,,,,for quick access,,,,,
,,,,,,,I got holsters for that!!!
So Remember folks,,,,"you heard that here ,,first"!!!,,, from,,,,
Still free,,,,,

R.I. Teachers Union Rep Compares Firing of Underperforming Teachers to Pearl Harbor
posted at 12:03 pm on February 23, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
You may recall our recent coverage of the ongoing dispute between administrators and the teachers union in what may well be the most dysfunctional school district in the country, found at Central Falls High School in Rhode Island. Well, the situation continues to spiral out of control there faster than LiLo's career. This week, the district plans to send out pink slips to all of the nearly 2,000 teachers in their organization.
PROVIDENCE — The school district plans to send out dismissal notices to every one of its 1,926 teachers, an unprecedented move that has union leaders up in arms.
In a letter sent to all teachers Tuesday, Supt. Tom Brady wrote that the Providence School Board on Thursday will vote on a resolution to dismiss every teacher, effective the last day of school.
To be clear, the Superintendent has stated that this doesn't mean that every one of the teachers will be terminated, but that the schools are reserving the right to do so for each and every one of them in accordance with standing labor rules. And even I'll admit that they could probably find a couple of them worth keeping at the high end of an otherwise failing bell curve.
More interesting was the union response, which was measured and rational as you might expect to emerge from such an important decision point.
"This is beyond insane," Providence Teachers Union President Steve Smith said Tuesday night. "Let's create the most chaos and the highest level of anxiety in a district where teachers are already under unbelievable stress. Now I know how the United States State Department felt on Dec. 7 , 1941." That was the day the Japanese government bombed Pearl Harbor.
I really wanted to insert something snarky here as is my usual habit, but I just can't come up with anything that could do justice to that artistic piece of hyperbole.
The school continues to fail. The community, already facing disastrous budget problems, continues to pay through the nose for absolutely dismal results in the public schools. It's a situation which certainly seems to call for drastic measures, yet the union leaders continue to circle the wagons around their rice bowls rather than coming up with alternatives or compromise which might rescue their students from this long standing failure.

|Remembering Jack Friedman
I learned last week that Mr. Jack Friedman, the founder of JAKKS Pacific toy company, passed away on May 3, 2010, from complications due to a rare blood disease. He was 70 years old and had spent 50 years of his life in the toy industry. Mr. Friedman is what the old-time films of the 1940s would label a "big-shot mogul," but a "mogul with a heart of gold." He was known far and wide for his philanthropic work with children, the military, and charities that needed an infusion of cash and enthusiasm. He was a man who loved life and showed it in a big way.
I met Mr. Friedman once when I was first starting out in the toy industry. Friedman launched JAKKS Pacific in January 1995, and, coincidentally, that is the same year I started working in the doll business. He had already logged more than three decades in the business of play, but he was still fired up about his new company, his new direction, and the new themes and licenses that were there to conquer. We should all be so upbeat after 35 years in the same field!
The most striking thing about my encounter is that he was happy to show off his new wares and to shoot the breeze about the latest wrestler doll and the newest trend from Asia. He had a first-rate sales force, but he still liked to take part in selling, "kibitzing" and clowning around. (If he was handed a yo-yo, he could enthrall and entertain with amazing tricks.)
When I read over his obituaries that listed all his accomplishments as a businessman, family man, philanthropist and entrepreneur, I was struck by the various outlets that covered his passing. He received tributes from hobby publications, industry trade newsletters, Fortune magazine, Forbes, financial Web sites, FOX News and national newspapers. Having been born in Queens, N.Y., but making his home in California, he was written up in length by the New York Daily News, as well as the Los Angeles Times.
During this trying time, I hope his family draws comfort from all the kind words and tributes that are pouring in for this man. As a participant in the toy business, I place his passing into a unique perspective.
Here is a man who devoted his life and his energy, his talent and his money, to a craft that so many people take for granted. He was the driving force behind the first wave of E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial toys, WWF action figures, Michael Jackson dolls, and innumerable gaming systems. Though boys and girls pined for these treats, and wrote impassioned letters to Santa asking for them to magically appear in stockings and under trees, we grownups know that Mr. Friedman was quite instrumental in having those Dec. 25 orders met.
For the population at large, Jack Friedman was not a household name—even for many people in the toy world, he was a guy behind the scenes. However, he never tired of tackling new ways to engage children as they played. He would follow the fads, capturing the nuances and that intangible "it," which divides some toys into bestsellers and others into duds consigned to the bargain-basement bins. Most of his toys were winners: Blue's Clues, Fancy Nancy, Hannah Montana, Sponge Bob, Star Wars, Skelanimals, Neopets, the Wiggles, to name a handful.
All of us will have to depart this world at some point, and at some time, but what legacy will we leave behind? It's difficult to strive to the level of a Mother Teresa or a Gandhi. After all, how many of us are destined to become icons of selflessness, peace and tolerance? But it is much more attainable to find a profession that we can believe in, work at your best level in that occupation and greet each day as an opportunity to learn more or to do more.
It should be a comfort to the Friedman family that Jack will continue to live on as long as children love to laugh, to dream, to run frantically and boisterously down toy aisles, and to write letters to Santa. We all should be that lucky: To know that our labors have brought joy during our lifetime and will continue to do so after we're gone.

A recent hit for JAKKS Pacific was the line of Taylor Swift (above right) figures and accessories. The teen sensation was a natural choice for converting into a fashion doll.

Nice tribute Stephanie. I was not familiar with Jack Friedman, but I am made aware by your thoughtful portrayal of this generous man, that he did surely add, and will continue to add many smiles on the faces and hearts of children (as well as many adults) everywhere. RIP Jack, and peace to your family.
RIP, Mr. Jack Friedman. My granddaughter has your Camp Rock fashion dolls and never stops playing with them. May God grant your family peace.
I didn't know Jack Friedman and never heard his name before. I did know his toys. I have them in my house, and my children play with them endlessly. His merchandise was well made, and I hope the company continues on without him. I hope he had a happy life. I know his toys give my children hours of pleasure. Moving piece, Stephanie.

Reporter missing in Libya; attacks continue in Yemen, Iraq
New York, February 22, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by the ongoing deterioration of conditions for the media in the Middle East, including the disappearance of Atef al-Atrash, a critical Libyan journalist, since anti-Qaddafi demonstrations began February 17. The Internet has been intermittently down since Saturday in the country, according to international news reports, and foreign journalists continue to be denied entry. Al-Jazeera's signal in Libya remains jammed, according to the network. In Yemen, security forces confiscated the print run of an independent newspaper and at least one reporter was injured as demonstrations turned violent. And in Iraq, 50 gunmen reportedly shot up an independent television station while the staff of a local newspaper was forced to evacuate their offices.

There are chains that give chain restaurants a bad name, that think earned popularity can be franchised. And then there are chains that do it right, that optimize the advantages of scale and localize as much as possible. Bonefish Grill is a tasty case study of the latter.
Starting out in St. Petersburg a dozen years ago, they now have more than 150 restaurants in 30 states. A cousin who spends a lot of time in Florida recommended the place. So when they opened a Cranston location, their New England toe in the water, we thought we'd check it out.
The first thing that impressed me was that they didn't get all thematically cutesy with the decor: no clutter of anchors and pipe-jutting old salts in sou'westers. A row of miniature red mangroves atop a partition, an homage to their Florida roots, is about as gaudy as it gets. There is brown butcher paper on the tablecloths and white jackets on the plentiful waitstaff, with the practical addition of pen-holder pockets on the left upper sleeves.
The menu is equally well thought out. The dozen appetizers cover a wide span of tastes, from oysters on the half shell ($10.50 for 6) for raw bar aficionados to wagyu beef with ginger dumplings ($8.20) for diehard carnivores. The list begins with a mixed ceviche ($7.90), which should top the menu of every seafood restaurant as a declaration of freshness. In welcome relief from the traditional Rhode Island preparation, their fried calamari ($8.30) has a sweet and spicy Asian sauce.
Among that array, marked with a starfish as a popular item, were Bang Bang Shrimp ($8.90). What a treat. Not only were there easily 20 medium shrimp tossed in a pink creamy sauce, slightly spicy, but they were from Maine — such a surprising and welcome respite from the usual Asian source. Not every restaurant takes advantage of their being in season.
Our other starters were also better than they had to be. The New England clam chowder ($5.70/$6.50) didn't taste like a foreign recipe: properly creamy, it was given additional depth by plenty of bacon (the menu said "with a hint of bacon," but I'm glad they didn't stint). The house salad ($4.90, with entrée $2.90) had two Floridian touches: a citrus herb vinaigrette and a heart of palm spear. If the Caesar salad (same price) were the standard preparation everywhere, I'd always order it: small croutons tossed in dressing separately, plus a half-dozen strips of anchovy at no extra charge. Way to go. The bread served beforehand was also done definitively: a small, warm loaf with olive oil — atop a pool of pesto — in addition to wrapped pats of butter.
Those shanghaied carnivores have their choice of a half-dozen wood-grilled meats, from the popular Lily's chicken ($14.30) under a lemon-basil sauce to a sirloin and crab cake dinner ($19.70). But for those properly in the swing of things, there are six kinds of regular-menu grilled fish plus a scallops and shrimp combo ($16.90), along with a few baked and sauteed choices, such as pecan-Parmesan-crusted rainbow trout ($17.50).

Fort Lee woman killed by school bus in Leonia
LEONIA — A Fort Lee woman and café owner, beloved as "the mother for everybody" in her neighborhood, was killed by a school bus Thursday morning as she crossed Broad Avenue at Fort Lee Road, and police have issued summonses to the driver.
Relatives and police identified the victim as Leyla Kan, 60, of Fort Lee, who has owned Picnic Cafe in Palisades Park for more than 25 years.
Leonia Police Chief Thomas Rowe said at a late afternoon media conference that bus driver Esperanza Jaramillo, 54, of Tenafly was issued motor-vehicle summonses for careless driving, failure to yield to a pedestrian who had the right of way, and for driving a vehicle with badly worn tires.
The chief said the small school bus had three people aboard: Jaramillo, an aide and a special-needs student being taken to a day camp in Tenafly. None was injured, although Jaramillo was taken to Englewood Hospital and treated for emotional trauma, Rowe added.
He said the bus was making a left turn from Fort Lee Road onto Broad Avenue northbound when it struck Kan, who was in the middle of the intersection, walking across Broad Avenue from the northeast corner. Both the driver and pedestrian had the green light in their favor, Rowe said, but the driver failed to yield the right of way.
Kan was struck by the protruding passenger compartment of the minibus behind the door, apparently unseen by Jaramillo, Rowe said. he said that as witnesses watched in horror and screamed and honked their horns to get Jaramillo's attention, the bus dragged Kan about 71 feet along the street before it came to a stop.
Rowe said no criminal charges would be brought; a catalyst for such charges would have been cell phone use at the time, Rowe said, but evidence indicated cell phone use was not a factor in the accident. The cell phones of both the driver and the victim were analyzed, and neither was found to have been in use at the time, he said.
The school bus, owned by Rainbow Transportation Inc. of Bergenfield, was removed from the scene and impounded for further investigation into the possibility of equipment violations other than the worn tires, Rowe said. Calls made to the company were unreturned Thursday.
Broad Avenue was initially closed from Fort Lee Road to Allaire Avenue, with traffic diverted to nearby streets.
Kan imigrated to the U.S. from Turkey in 1979 with her husband and 3-year-old son, said relatives and friends gathered at her cafe Thursday afternoon.
"She was the mother for everybody in this neighborhood for a long time," family friend Murat Agirnasli said.
Kan often drove from her home in Fort Lee to the cafe but sometimes took the bus, her family said. On the tragic morning, they believe she had taken the bus to Leonia to walk along Broad Avenue in the nice weather. The cafe is at 202 Broad Avenue in Palisades Park.
She was a hard worker who had named her pizza and pita restaurant after a friend's in Turkey. She was famous for her pizza, chicken gyro and homemade lentil soup.
"She could work 15 to 17 hours," her son, Atilla Kan, said, and her impact on the community was "more than I knew."
Kan had taught one of her employees English. And as an example of her spontaneous kindness, her family told how one day an elderly man was crossing the street near the cafe and Kan ran out to help him, bringing him inside and giving him lunch. He became a regular customer after that.
"She loved life," Agirnasli said. "Eating, drinking, singing, talking with friends."
Kan was very proud of her Turkish heritage and passed it along to her son, a fitness trainer in Tenafly, and grandson, Tristan, 16. The two had gone to Turkey together in 2012 for his first trip there.
"I'm glad now that I was able to see it with her,"" he said. ""I didn't know it would come to this."
On Wednesday, Kan had taken her grandson to the barber in Cliffside Park and then to and from work at a Chipotle restaurant in Englewood. She encouraged him to save his money to buy a car.
"She was an angel," Tristan said. ""She was like no other."
As a rising junior at Cresskill High School, it's been his goal to graduate college. "I guess I 'll be looking up at the sky and saying, 'I did it,'" he reflected.
Rowe, speaking to reporters outside the police station, also issued a plea to Governor Christie and the Port Authority, the operator of the nearby George Washington Bridge, for help in handling the immense traffic flow that he said "inundates" Leonia during the morning and evening rush hours every day.
"We need help," he said. "We are between multibillion-dollar public agencies," he said, referring to the bridge and the New Jersey Turnpike. "They need to start helping us, with money, or manpower, or equipment. This is a small town, and 25,000 to 30,000 people come through here every day.
"I've been here 24 years, and it gets worse by the day," he said.
Rowe added that the Port Authority had recently given $6 million to a library in The Bronx. "If they can give that kind of money to a library in The Bronx, they can afford to help us here in Leonia," he said. "So I'm asking the Port Authority and the governor: Please help us; we need your help."'

Lilly's Biography
Causes of Choice: American Association of University Women & National Women's Law Center
Childhood Dream: To become an engineer.
Proudest Achievement: Having a bill named after her in Congress, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Best Advice Received: "To always be true to myself and honest in everything I did."
Lilly Ledbetter worked as an area manager at Goodyear plant in Gadsden, Alabama for nineteen years. Her crusade to remedy the gender-based pay discrimination that she suffered during that time received national attention, and her activism led to the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009.
Ledbetter grew up in rural Alabama and began working in her grandfather's cotton fields while she was a teenager. She married Sergeant Major Charles Ledbetter and had two children. In 1979, she took a job as an overnight shift manager and area manager at the local Goodyear plant.
As part of her contract, Ledbetter was forbidden to discuss the details of her pay with other employees. As she approached retirement in 1998, however, an anonymous tipster alerted her to an alarming fact: despite receiving a "Top Performer" award in 1996, she had been making far less than her male colleagues for the entirety of her employment at Goodyear.
Outraged, Ledbetter made a formal complaint against Goodyear with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission. After the company tried to discipline her by assigning her to manual labor, Ledbetter filed a discrimination suit and was awarded approximately $3.3 million in damages (later reduced to $360,000 because of a law limiting a company's liability for damages.)
Goodyear, however, appealed and the case ended up in the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 in favor of the tire-maker, saying that Ledbetter had missed the statute of limitations (then, only 180 days from her first unequal paycheck) to file a discrimination suit.
Although she never received any compensation for the discrimination she faced, Ledbetter fought to pass legislation ensuring that other women would not have to deal with the same inequities she had. In 2009, President Barack Obama made the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act the first piece of official legislation that he signed upon taking office. The bill revises previous legislation and states that the 180-day statute of limitations resets with each new paycheck affected by discriminatory action, giving plaintiffs more time to file their claims.

Today's business environment demands that most organizations need to change and rapidly adapt according to market dynamics while still remaining in control. Businesses have approached this challenge using business intelligence (BI) analytics tools to sift through enormous collections of data and catch what could have been missed opportunities. This gives business the power to strain and cull through mountains of data, using effective data collection tools and applications for mining this information and applying intelligent analytics. This way, business can unearth new trends, using this otherwise hidden information to make proactive and knowledge-driven decisions.
Similarly to the business side's experience, the IT landscape has grown in complexity supporting the wider and growing range of technology environments running on virtualized or cloud platforms as well as accelerated application release schedules. Out of this, IT now faces near-overwhelming quantities of information.
Applications, application infrastructure, hypervisors, and other parts of the virtual and cloud stacks all create troves of performance, events, and availability data. The challenge isn't finding data; it's finding a way to make it useful.
Ironically, IT operations, the organization-supporting infrastructure, adheres to a static-process-driven paradigm. While the market is all excited about new technologies like provisioning and automated deployment, the reality is that IT operations still heavily relies on CMDB systems and manual workflows to serve as its "nerve center" for supporting day-to-day internal and external services.
Information-enabled Decisions
Information-enabled decisions is a philosophy that has been discussed and promoted widely in recent times. Yet information-enabled decisions have not yet been fully realized by IT operations in the cloud era. What should be a relatively simple report can take a team of reporting "experts" days to assemble and analyze.
A New Approach Is Needed
By its design, the cloud is abstracted. This abstraction is viewed as one of the cloud's main benefits, providing the ability to set up components that will meet demand without understanding the technology's details needed for supporting that component. Yet the limited visibility into the content of virtual machines comprising a business system and dynamism of virtual machines allocation, make monitoring of changes and configuration very difficult. This very state of abstraction creates a complete lack of visibility into the stack. This puts system stability in jeopardy and exposes organizations to incidents that can proliferate into outages and costly lost opportunities.
A new approach is clearly needed handle the complexity and dynamics introduced by today's virtualization and cloud entities. The new approach should handle the constantly changing, overwhelming amount of configuration data and deliver actionable information.
Driven by Static Processes
IT operations has been accustomed to running on static processes and well-defined workflows, with activities carried out according to defined processes. The steps involved in the ITIL process for change management is but one example. There is a step for proposing a change, requesting approval etc. A set of metrics measure performance, like the amount of changes that successfully went through.
The Cloud Is not Static
The problem with taking this static approach to managing IT operations in the cloud is that cloud-based operations are not static. IT Ops can plan as much as possible, but it won't ensure that everything will occur as planned.
From an operations management standpoint, the cloud is a complex beast to tame. In contrast to traditional IT architectures, where each silo can be controlled by IT operations, the cloud comprises many layers of interconnected resources, part of which can be controlled by external providers or users themselves. Additionally, changes are happening too quickly to maintain a fully documented, detailed configuration database. A golden image of the environment can quickly fade away from reality as "live" configuration updates are made without updating an offline golden image.

FoodNet is an active laboratory and population-based surveillance system to monitor the incidence of foodborne diseases of local and national public health importance.
Surveillance Activities
Special Studies
Genomics Study Identifying human genomic factors associated with the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) among persons infected with Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) and calculate the proportion of disease risk attributable to these genetic factors. Cases with STEC infections are asked for a saliva sample, which is then analyzed for genetic markers. Abstract
Non-O157 STEC Case-Control Study Identifying behavioral, environmental, dietary, and medical risk factors for non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infection and to describe clinical and microbiological features of illnesses caused by different types of non-O157 STEC. Abstract
