excavating in a limited access area
I have a building in Brooklyn, Ny which is fully attached on both sides. I would like to build an extension in the rear which will require a below frost line foundation ( 6ft deep). The only access to the rear of the building is through the basement hatch or through the side stairwell. I'm curious if there are hand held excavating machines, cost and time to pulloff a project like this. The area is 25'X20'. Dirt removal is not an issue since there is room from a previous foundation ( behind the proposed extension area) to dump and fill. any advice??
Your best bet would probably be laborers with pick and shovels.
There are small excavators available that will fit through a 36" opening, but they do not have much reach for the depth of cut "6ft deep" that you are looking for.
You will probably have to pump the concrete for the footings as well.:)

Rugby legend David Campese has made it easy for those who want to give him a piece of their mind after his sexist comments about a female journalist.
Just hours after his sexist tweet about a female rugby journalist caused uproar, the former Wallabies winger accidentally posted his mobile number on the social networking site.
While the number was promptly deleted by Campese, it was captured and quickly went viral.
Campese tweeted the number to a Sydney radio station, who had requested an interview.
Earlier, Campese had faced a social media backlash for a sexist attack on a female journalist.
"Why does the smh [sic] get a girl to write about rugby. Growden who was a great jornio [sic] and now we have someone who has no idea about the game.! [sic]" Campese wrote.
Posted at 4.56am, Campese tweeted the comments to over 8,200 followers. Though the tweet was since deleted, the post was captured and widely shared. Within seconds Campese was fending off criticism.
"Sometimes it is good to see some people react to thing [sic] you say. Please relax and see the light side of life. All press are the same," Campese tweeted back.
The sexist remark is believed to have been targeted at female Fairfax reporter, Georgina Robinson, who writes extensively about rugby and tweets under the Twitter handle '@geerob'.
Robinson is currently following the Wallabies on their European Tour and filed several stories this morning.
Greg Growden, whom Campese refers to, took redundancy from Fairfax earlier this year.
Twitter users responded in disgust at Campese's comments and fervently defended Robinson.
"Sorry David Campese but this is the last straw! #sexist #unfollowed," said @PinkRugby.
"I see @DavidCampese11 has again proven why he is one of the most disliked w****** in world. I'd happily read @geerob over you. D*******," tweeted another.
Wallabies flanker David Pocock even tweeted his outrage as he prepares to take on Wales in the Test match this weekend.
"Really sad to see journos attacked based on their gender. Or a grown woman referred to as a 'girl' #destroyingthejoint" Pocock said.
Ian Fuge, the Managing Editor of Sport at Fairfax, spoke out against Campese's outburst, on behalf of the organisation.
"I am staggered that anyone would criticise any sports reporter because of their gender. Georgina wasn't chosen for the rugby writer's role on the basis of her gender and neither should her work be judged as such," Fuge said.
"She is a fine rugby reporter - already up there with the best."
It is not the first time Campese has caused a stir with his outspoken views on the sport since retiring from Test rugby in 1996.
Campese earned 101 caps for the Wallabies during his illustrious career and is an inductee in the Australian Rugby Union Hall of Fame.

Gardeners who choose to use organic practices know the secret to natural pest control.
I realized this while sitting on the beach with a group of friends, observing a spectacular feeding frenzy just offshore. A huge school of fish moved through the water, frantically leaping from waves as porpoises devoured many of their school. Overhead, birds circled, diving to catch struggling fish.
An osprey snagged an especially large fish and proudly flew away with his prize. That's when a friend quipped, "Everybody's gotta eat!"
And that's the key. It all comes down to limiting food sources and maintaining a natural species balance that provides food for every creature.
Managing pest organically is not always easy. Yet there are several ways you can kick the pesticides and use nature for your benefit. The trade offs for healthy and nutritious food is worth it in the end.
1. Hand remove.
While herbicides and pesticides may make gardening easier, the scent memory of Sevin Dust from childhood reminds me that I would rather remove Mexican Bean Beetles by hand than add the chemical taste and smell to my heirloom green beans. Some insect pests, such as Harlequin bugs and the Colorado Potato Beetle, are simple enough to remove by hand while other bugs, allowed to live, will eat harmful pests on their own.
2. Good bug vs. bad bug.
Speaking of some bugs eating other bugs: Lady Bug Beetles, distinctive with bright red shells and black spots, are garden workhorses, eating thousands of aphids. A quick study in determining good and bad bug identification will greatly aid the organic gardener.
3. Crop rotation.
Crop rotation is especially helpful because moving a particular plant to a different garden location removes that food source from overwintering pests. You should rotate crops in a three to four year cycle and follow the roots, then leaves, and legumes pattern, which helps maintain healthy soil.
4. Companion planting.
Companion planting is the practice of growing plants that repel pests in close proximity. For example, parsley planted in the asparagus bed will deter asparagus beetles. White icicle radishes planted with squash repel squash vine borers. The herb borage deters tomato worms, and cabbageworms do not like thyme. For more tips, see Louise Riotte's comprehensive guide to companion planting.
5. Natural barriers.
Wood ashes mixed with water may be applied to soil around onions, cauliflower, beets, turnips, peas, and lettuces to deter maggots and other pests. Cheesecloth tents prevent destruction by flea beetles, tiny creatures that can devastate seedlings, particularly eggplants, and leap great distances when disturbed. When plants achieve a certain growth, they are able to withstand flea beetle assault and you can simply remove the cheesecloth.
6. Birds.
Purple Martins, migratory birds from South America, raise families and eat thousands of flying insects during their summer residence. These aerodynamic daredevils love to live in birdhouse gourds and are very social, making them excellent garden companions.
7. Decoy crops.
Finally, you can control insect pest damage by using decoy crops. Harlequin bugs love mustard greens. They may be planted in a garden area to distract them from other plants. Eggplants are useful trap plants as well, but I am hesitant to sacrifice my beloved eggplants. Certain weeds are also attractive to insect pests. So organic gardeners sometimes tolerate weeds in order to protect food plants.
With forethought and planning, organic pest control is effective and efficient. Plus you can have the satisfaction of harvesting chemical-free food and the joy of observing nature's delicate balance at-work.

"Still Sitting Still": New Take on Gallery Space
Australian artists Daniel Moynihan's latest exhibition Still Sitting Still makes an unusual use of gallery space. Constructing a giant iceberg in one room, the Melbourne-based artist has installed a periscope for visitors to view the the giant mass' tip.
Moynihan explains his work:
The relocation of this daunting mass that drifts with a peaceful uncertainty creates a visual demonstration of how impressions can be twisted or exaggerated to suit the moment. The selective process of recalling events is translated into a tangible presence by combining common materials with an alternative use of gallery space. The iceberg sits above and below the water. Exposing what is normally hidden the object acts as an altered amalgamation of stories retold on a grand scale. Giving leverage to their existence, parts are often intentionally left out or simply forgotten, remaining hidden.
The exhibition is showing at the Utopian Slumps gallery in Collingwood, Victoria and runs until Saturday the 21st of February.

An Emergent Seminary for an Emerging Church
Editor's Note: This article is part of an online symposium, "Does Seminary Have a Future?" hosted at Patheos this month. Read other perspectives here.
Has the seminary become an anachronism? Do seminaries educate for a bygone era? Or here's an even more frightening thought: when we do adequately prepare men and women for congregational leadership, what if the congregations we're training them for have ceased to be attractive for most Americans today?
What do Christian seminaries need to become in the 21st century? The question is fascinating because it's really asking: how is the church transforming, and what is it becoming?
Christian leaders are absolutely split on this question. Passions run high because the stakes are so high. Guess wrong, and your seminary (congregation, organization, denomination) shrinks in size, resources, and influence—or shuts its doors altogether. It's like we're watching the World Series, and no one really knows the outcome: will Christian institutions continue as before, with minor modifications? Are we entering an era of a post-institutional church? Should we seek to transform the institution from within, helping it to become something radically new?
Seminaries, along with other Christian organizations, are answering this live-or-die question in vastly different ways. If you judge us by our actions, it's as if we're giving four different kinds of advice:
- "Don't change; do what you've been doing. What we offer is really what the leaders of tomorrow's church need . . . whether they recognize it or not."
- "Get more conservative; concentrate on traditional doctrines and skills; seek to reclaim what we once were. It's this crazy modernism that's gotten us all in trouble, so turn back, turn back!"
- "Tweak existing programs to try to make them more appropriate for this rapidly changing new era. The main fields of theological education really are what people need for ministry: church history, systematic theology, biblical studies, theological ethics, homiletics. Keep the same basic model, but update it in various ways so that it is more relevant and less boring to today's students."
- "Scrap the old models and start over. Students who enter seminary this fall will minister from roughly 2015 to 2055, in a world unimaginably different from anything humans have known in the past. There may well be some portions of traditional theological education that remain relevant. But most theological education trains students for the church of the past, not the church of the future. We need to remake our seminaries so that they produce life-long learners and change agents—men and women who will find answers that we cannot yet even conceive, giving birth to styles of ministry beyond our imagination.
A Bold Experiment
This fourth option is the direction in which I hope to lead Claremont School of Theology (CST). In the next few months I think we will see the faculty and Board approving a set of radical changes that we're calling "the new CST." We're beginning with a series of transformations, similar to (3) above, in order to make the major building blocks of theological education more responsive to today's students and their needs. But we are also launching a completely new model. Our goal is to educate the men and women who will become leaders for the emerging forms of church.
Philip Clayton is the Dean of Claremont School of Theology and Provost of Claremont Lincoln University. Clayton earned a joint Ph.D. in Religious Studies and Philosophy from Yale University and has held visiting appointments at Harvard University, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Munich. He has published over twenty books and hundreds of academic and popular articles.

Help me ID this algae... BGA?
2 Attachment(s)
Is this BGA? It's mostly on top of the water. It's dark and slimy, and generates millions of pretty big bubbles (no, the bubbles are not coming from the plants). It doesn't cling to plants tightly, it actually comes off very easily if the plants are disturbed, and then it floats around as small black strigy bits. I don't notice a strong smell. I've been trying to get rid of it for weeks, it keeps coming back. It started at the same time as a bout of green water. A UV sterilizer cleared up the green water, but this stuff has been tenacious. I have lots of light, lots of pressurized CO2, and have been dosing my usual ferts regime, with water changes (almost) weekly. I'm about to try erythromycin, so I want to make sure that it actually is bacteria. I swear, in my 11 years of experience with planted tanks, the one thing I've learned is that as soon as I'm done battling one type of algae, a new kind comes along. I can't believe that after so many years there are still new types of algae for me to discover!
When was the last time filters were cleaned? What are your dosing, light, and w/c regiments? What does "lots of pressurized co2" mean?
It's a 10 gal with 40 W CF light, bulb was changed a year ago. Dosing NO3 to ~15 ppm, PO4 to ~1.5 ppm, 1/4 tsp KCl, plus traces as per directions. Sometimes a bit of iron. I admit I'm bad at doing the mid-week dosing, so the nutrient levels do get low, it's my bad. I also have way too many fish, so there's a ton of fish waste. Fish have always been healthy, not a single illness or unexpected death since I've been keeping these fish, over 10 yrs. Lots of plants, including some fast growing ones. Pressurized CO2 is 2 bps, with a sprial ceramic diffuser. I don't have a drop checker in there anymore, but I know that this rate results in a "green" range (and I did use proper 4 dKH water that I made up myself). I just lent my drop checker to someone, that's why it's not in there anymore. Plus, it collects algae and looks ugly.
hope this helps :)
IMO, I would do a large 80%-90% water change and do a very thorough cleaning, ie clean filters, gravel vac where you can, remove as much of that stuff as you can, and reset dosing. Also, you do not need to toss old filter material, so long as you clean it to prevent reductions in flow and its not falling apart.
How long is your lighting cycle? Have you checked nitrates recently?
I've already tried the tank "reset." Nitrates are 10-20 ppm after I dose, then go down to 0 throughout the week, as does PO4. I should really keep on top of the mid-week dosing.
So is it BGA?
I couldn't tell you based on what I know. But I will say that it def. sounds bacterial. The EM might work, but it might not. Even if you kill it however, you need to address why it (continuously) showed up.
Keep up with dosing and w/c or dial back on the lights if you cannot dose midweek. Running short on nutrients in a high tech set up can definitely cause issues really fast. Remember, its not the most abundant nutrient affecting plant growth, its the least abundant.
If your tank never gets a chance to "beat" the bacteria or algae over the long haul, each week its getting a chance to come back.

Why an appliance?
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  websphere_cloudburst 2,862 Views
Over the past couple of weeks following the WebSphere CloudBurst announcement, I've had the opportunity to talk to several people about the new offering. Some of these people were IBM customers familiar with WebSphere products while others were non-IBM customers with a general interest in cloud computing solutions. Among both groups of people there was nearly always a common question: Why is WebSphere CloudBurst delivered in appliance form? The answer to that question is three-fold: consumability, security, and computing power.
By delivering WebSphere CloudBurst as an appliance, users benefit from extreme consumability. Getting started using WebSphere CloudBurst is as simple as plugging the appliance in, connecting it to your network, and spending a little bit of time with the initial setup. The software that provides the function of WebSphere CloudBurst is on the firmware of the appliance, so there is no need to install or maintain this on any other machine. In fact, updates to the firmware, and thus WebSphere CloudBurst software, can be achieved from the WebSphere CloudBurst GUI.
The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance shares many of the same security features of the DataPower Appliance. This means that the box is tamper resistant thus preventing its physical components like memory and hard disks from being used in any other capacity. In addition to the physical security of the appliance, WebSphere CloudBurst also includes function to encrypt certain sensitive information. Information like SSL certificates, usernames, passwords, virtual images, and more are securely encrypted and stored on the appliance. This prevents the possibility of something or someone outside the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance getting access to these sensitive bits of information.
Finally, the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance provides the necessary computing resource to manage the resources of the private cloud. The virtual images delivered with the appliance that contain the operating system, WebSphere Application Server, and IBM HTTP Server are quite sizeable (somewhere in the neighborhood of 20GB). The appliance provides the storage capacity that is needed for the images delivered with the appliance and the customized images that users may create (not to mention fancy storage algorithms that are able to represent customized images as deltas of shipped images and provide other handy compression techniques). In addition, the appliance supplies the necessary computing resource for moving these large images across the wire and into the private cloud.
Regardless of whether or not I'm talking to an IBM or non-IBM customer, I give the above answer every time I'm asked why WebSphere CloudBurst is delivered in appliance form. It seems to resonate pretty well with both groups of people, so I hope it makes sense to anyone reading this. As always, if you have any questions feel free to send us an email at email@example.com or send us a Tweet @WebSphereClouds.

Chan trapped between two worlds
By Pritha Sarkar
LONDON (Reuters) - Growing up in Ottawa and Toronto as the precocious child of Chinese immigrants, Patrick Chan always dreamt of the day he would whizz around for a victory lap in one of the world's premier skating arenas draped in Canada's Maple Leaf flag.
Once that vision came true in April in Moscow's Khodynka Ice Palace, where he was crowned world champion after romping to victory by decimating the opposition with record scores, Chan discovered that the reality did not quite match up to his ideology.
As he approaches his 21st birthday, Chan feels more and more drawn towards his Chinese heritage.
"If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athletes. People understand better what we do as skaters," Chan told Reuters in a telephone interview ahead of this week's Grand Prix Final in Quebec.
"Sometimes I feel we are not appreciated for how much work we put in. If my parents hadn't emigrated from China and say I had skated for China, things would have been very different. My parents wouldn't have had to make as much sacrifices as they have and there would be a lot more respect for what we do as figure skaters.
"I'm extremely well recognized in Korea just because of what I do on the ice and there is a lack of that in Canada because hockey is our sport and it will be for eternity. Figure skating has lost the draw and the attention (it used to have before)."
Whereas Elvis Stojko and Kurt Browning were treated as rockstars and showered with plaudits during the 1980s and 90s -- when Canadian men glided to eight world titles in 11 years -- the skating landscape for Chan in 2011 is very different.
"Several years ago I felt more Canadian but I'm slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I've come from. (This is because) of the support I get from the Chinese community in Canada," Chan, who is fluent in English, French and Cantonese, said as he took a break from his intensive training schedule.

"Don't let me be misunderstood." (The Animals, #15 on Billboard, 1965)
Quick post tonight… cuz Conan's second-to-last Tonight Show is on in a few.
(I've never been a die-hard fan of the dude, but these final shows should be history-making.) (I stopped watching late night talk back when Letterman abandoned his DaDa-esque 12:30 show for a boring earlier slot on CBS…)
As a lifelong wordsmith (that's "writer" to you), I long ago learned to respect language.
It seemed a no-brainer to me. Language is our primary communication tool… and English just happens to be the most flexible and use-able one ever created. Unlike every other language out there, it inhales foreign words without problem, gives group-hugs to slang, and offers an amazing cornucopia of choices when you want to get your point across… Continue Reading

Bacary Sagna has praised the team-mates who occupied the right-back position in his absence.
The France international broke his leg at Tottenham in October and his natural replacement, Carl Jenkinson, soon joined him on the sidelines with a back problem.
Arsène Wenger has turned to a number of auxiliary full backs over the course of the winter with Johan Djourou, Laurent Koscielny, Francis Coquelin and Nico Yennaris all filling in on the right.
Speaking to the Official Matchday Programme, Sagna said: "They've done well, it's not easy when you have to change position. I don't see myself playing for two or three months at centre-back for example!
"You have to adapt, and at this level you don't get a lot of time to do that. The pace is different on the flanks and you have to cover a bit more distance, but the guys have coped well."
Coquelin has operated in both full-back positions over the past couple of months, while Yennaris caught the eye two weeks ago with a dynamic second-half showing against Manchester United.
"They're amazing," said Sagna. "They just play and don't worry about anything.
"I was happily surprised with Nico's performance against Bolton back in October - he closed down really well and imposed himself well. He did an equally good job when he came on against Manchester United, and I'm very pleased for him – he's a hard worker and deserves a lot of credit.
"It's the same with Francis, he's a midfield player first of all but he's given his best at right-back and we know that he's very good technically too."

The McCracken County school board approved a much discussed cost-saving motion to move the central office on 435 Berger Road to the former Reidland Middle School.
The board on Thursday approved the relocation of the central office and declaration of the property as surplus after the current school year. The request will be sent to the Kentucky Department of Education for approval. The district would decide the method of placing the land for sale, either in one or many parcels, according to attorney Gorman Bradley.
Superintendent Nancy Waldrop said the district expects to receive state approval within a month and begin moving in June. County officials will then clean, paint, analyze the existing furniture and make any needed repairs after students vacate the Reidland building. The available property was freed up due to the approved local facility plan amendments, which will reconfigure students in the Reidland area and create an intermediate school within the next two years.
Following the end of this school year, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade Reidland students will move to the newer side of the former high school complex, leaving the middle school building empty. The next year, fourth- and fifth-grade students at Reidland Elementary School will move to the other side.
Waldrop expects the move to take six to eight weeks over the summer in stages, beginning with technology and the Infinite Campus program and then all student and district records.
She emphasized the savings for the district in using an existing building for central office operations. The move will save $175,000 annually in utility costs and repairs to the current location, according to Waldrop.
The board voted to purchase the property, which included 26 acres, 55,000 square feet and eight buildings, for $3 million in December 2000, less than $800,000 less than the appraised price. The central office moved to the new location, the former site of Charter Behavioral Health System, because the existing headquarters site on Bleich Road was too small. The district spent $250,000 in moving and refurbishing costs and completed the move by fall 2001, according to Sun files.
In a related motion, the board approved the movement of the McCracken County alternative education Open Campus Program, also currently in the complex on Berger Road, to the former Heath Middle School building on Metropolis Lake Road as of August.
The change will also be sent to the state for approval, according to Director of Pupil Personnel Russ Tilford.
He said the program would use the library, office and several classrooms and share the cafeteria with the current adjacent Health Middle School.
In other meeting business, the board approved the 2015 year tentative budget, which includes 1 percent raises for all staff members. The board approved the purchase of 120 new teacher work station laptops at the high school for about $930 each to replace those not up-to-date according to the state requirement of five years old or newer.
Members also accepted the summer feeding program for county schools for the upcoming summer, which provides breakfast and lunch at no cost for students participating in summer programs. The district will begin a Community Eligibility Provision, which provides two free meals daily to all students, at Hendron-Lone Oak Elementary School this fall. The program is already in place at Farley Elementary School.

text: This thread is for ignorant comments, mostly from the media and message boards, you find about our own Stucknut. I will begin. FOX Sports on MSN - NBA - Power Rankings "Only the Pistons could start a three-guard lineup and still not have a point guard on the floor. Rodney Stuckey, Allen Iverson and Richard Hamilton aren't floor leaders, they're scorers, and their games don't complement each other." Stuckey has tremendous floor vision. Since being inserted into the starting line-up, he's been averaging 7.5 assists. Most of his assists, I've noticed, aren't "garbage assists" where a simple pass is needed. Stuckey threads passes into the paint at least twice a game and creates for his teammates with drives, feigned drives, and mid-jumper finds. And to say he's not a floor-leader is also ignorant. He calms everyone down and creates order in our half-court offense, kind of like Chauncey did.

Farrah Abraham -- More Shocking News on NEW Sex Tape
Guess who's still a reprehensible human being? Why, your guess is right if you guessed Farrah Abraham, because it's the truth -- Farrah Abraham is a reprehensible human being, and she's also a petty, ridiculous liar.
Farrah's new -- yes, new -- porno, "Farrah 2: Back Door and More" drops at Vivid.com on February 13th, and in standard Farrah form, she's arguing and debating the very idea that she's not a porn star (hint: she is) to the point where it's getting ridiculous now.
We talked with Steve Hirsch, Vivid's CEO, who agrees with us. Steve tells Fishwrapper exclusively, "Farrah contradicts herself on so many topics. She keeps saying that she is not a porn star but her actions clearly say she is."
This is, however, Farrah's schtick, and guys, just when you thought it could only get better, it gets worse -- Farrah took to her Twitter to lament the fact that Smut the Second is on its way out, calling it a "regretfully hard time." No, really, she did:

Bridging the global gap
Thinking of relocating to the Czech Republic?
Relocating to a new city or country can be a big step especially when you have a new job to face as well. You can only really get a good feel for a country when you have been there, but please keep reading our guide on the Czech Republic to give you an overview of this country and what it has to offer, from the essentials to the desirables...
Renting or Buying a Property
Setting up a Bank Account
The Czech Republic (CR) has a population of 10.2 million, has been a member state of the European Union since 2004 and is one of the most stable and prosperous of the post-Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. The Country borders with Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia.
The Czech Republic has one of the most developed industrialized economies of the post-Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. The principle industries are heavy and general machine-building, iron and steel production, metalworking, chemical production and electronics.
Purchasing property in CR is a simplistic process, although there are additional requirements imposed upon foreign nationals. At the present time foreign nationals from the European Union can purchase and own real estate. A large family house in Prague can cost in the region of 10,000,000 - 50,000,000 CZK (£338,000 - £1,690,000). Outside of Prague prices fall within the region of 3,000,000 - 10,000,000 CZK (£101,000-£338,000). Most Czech's, however, reside in flats and these start at approximately a third of the cost of a large family house.
Renting property in CR can be a lengthy and expensive process largely due to shortages of property and a distinct lack or agency regulations. A months rental of a medium size, two bedroom flat, including gas, electric and heating is typically within the region of 20,000 CZK (£675). Making sure you are informed as possible about the rental process will minimise risk of future problems associated with the rental of the property.
CR entered the European Union with a tradition of quality education and has made a significant contribution to the knowledge economy of the entire region. CR education system follows the same basic structure as the UK: Primary and Secondary followed by College or University.
Foreign students meeting basic requirements can attend Czech Primary and Secondary schools and Universities. Most schools do require a sound knowledge of the Czech language apart from specialised schools.
Setting up a bank account in CR is relatively straight forward. You will need a passport and a small initial deposit. It is worth doing some research surrounding the various services available as fees do vary from bank to bank.
Czech, the native language, is a West Slavic language alongside Slovak and Polish. This is the language used by most people in the Czech Republic. Czech is similar to and mutually intelligible with Slovak and, to a lesser extent, Polish.
The Czech Koruna (CZK) is the local currency.
30 CZK= £1.00 (Based on current exchange rate).
Prague's public transport system is very well developed, efficient and accessible, and because of it's popularity with tourists relatively cheap compared to other EU countries. Prague Metro, Prague Trams and buses all offer excellent coverage of the city and offer a sound method of transport for tourists and inhabitants alike.
CR sits in a temperate climate zone experiencing relatively mild winters and summers, and only moderate levels of rainfall. Average temperatures in the summer range from 23-29 Degrees Celsius, and in the winter from -11-0 Degrees Celsius.
For specific visa information relating to your country of origin please contact your local Czech Embassy in your home country.

British number one and world number four Murray missed GB's last tie, a thrilling Euro/Africa Zone Group I victory over Slovakia that set up the clash with Belgium, with the winner advancing to the World Group play-offs in September.
James Ward and Dan Evans will contest the singles rubbers in Glasgow, with doubles pairing Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins also named.
Murray is currently competing at the Miami Masters and hinted at the last tournament in Indian Wells that he would not feature in Glasgow if things went to plan in Florida.
"It depends on how Miami goes," he said at the time. "You always plan for the best-case scenario and that's finishing on Sunday evening with a win [in the final] and then you go from there."
The Davis Cup tie begins a week on Friday, only five days after the conclusion of the Miami Masters. The clay-court season then gets under way, with Murray scheduled to start with the Monte Carlo Masters which begins on April 15.
"After the last win against Slovakia the team were on a real high but we are now fully focused on preparing for the tie against Belgium, who we know will provide an altogether new challenge," Britain captain Leon Smith said.
"It will be a real step up against an opposition higher ranked than us, but if the team can put on some fine performances as they did against Slovakia, then we have a real chance of qualifying for the World Group play-offs.
"We will give it absolutely everything and with the home crowd support behind us, we are very much looking forward to a hugely exciting tie."
Murray pulled out of the Slovakia tie in February due to injury concerns following the Australian Open.
The Belgium match is the second round of the Euro/Africa Zone Group I, with the winners advancing to the World Group play-offs which will take place from September 14-16.

The federal bank, thrift and credit union regulatory agencies encourage all federally regulated financial institutions that service or hold residential mortgage loans to participate in the "Making Home Affordable" loan modification program. Guidelines for the program have been announced by the Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department previously has indicated that institutions receiving financial assistance in the future under the Financial Stability Plan established under the Troubled Assets Relief Program will be required to implement loan modification programs in accordance with the Treasury Department's guidelines.
The agencies strongly support the program's goal of promoting sustainable loan modifications for at-risk homeowners that appropriately balance the interests of homeowners, servicers and investors. The federal bank, thrift and credit union regulatory agencies worked closely with the Treasury Department in developing the guidelines.

Regardless of what our minds conjure up when we think of airline travel, one thing we can readily observe is that while the weather, the experience of the flight crew, the mechanical condition of the aircraft, and the destination of the flight are all variables, the system of getting an aircraft from one place to another, in one piece, is extraordinarily reliable. Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines once joked that the airline business is the only place where the capital assets travel at 500 miles per hour.
Every commercial flight starts with a flight plan, a flight crew, an aircraft, and a destination. The dispatcher creates the plan based on the expected conditions for the flight, the limitations of the pilot and passengers, and the capabilities of the aircraft. Time is built into the plan to climb to cruise altitude and to descend again to reach the destination safely. How much fuel will be required is built into the plan and pumped into the tanks. Every activity is done to achieve a singular purpose: getting the aircraft and its passengers safely to the destination, and everyone involved knows where the destination is. Aviation is a study in viable systems design.
How strange it seems then, that thousands of IT projects begin every day, but more than one-third of them crash enroute. Why? I would argue that it's because there is seldom a clear destination in mind, a rational plan to get there, or a viable system approach in place to execute the plan. Most of the time, the destination and the means to get there are only vague estimates, and the elements of the strategy are rooted in hope.

335I Engine Malfunction
One of the reasons I joined this forum is to see if anyone else has experiended a similar problem I'm having with my 335I Coupe. I'm currently living in Germany and purchased my American spec 335I Coupe in Nov and have approx 4100 miles on it. While crusing at approx 80 MPH in 6 gear my car started to run rough, acting as if a spark plug was misfiring or water was in the gas tank. Eventually an engine fault indication appeared on my display and the words power reduced service engine also appeared. I took it to my local dealer and was informed there was a recall and I needed new software. The software was loaded and the probelm remained. I took it to a different dealer and they hooked it up to their computer and found nothing wrong. I will take it for a thrid time because I'm still having the problem. When driving agressively and shifting throught the gears at high RPMs I don't experience the problem only at crusing speed and lower RPMs. Has anyone else had this problem?
Possible fuel pump issue. Has been a fairly common problem on these engines.
I had the exact same problem you described to a T. The dealer replaced the fuel pump (one week back ordered) and the problem immediately went away.
My 335i Sedan was manufactured in December and delivered in early Februrary. I had the fuel pump replaced after 2000 miles when the car started taking extra long to crank over because the fuel in the line was flowing back while it sat. I also noticed that when I punched it at times the car studdered, as it were. It will take about a week to get the part, but your dealer will likely give you a loaner if you take it to the place you bought it.
Take it in stride. Not a big deal.
Good luck and let us know how it all turns out.
I have a similar problem. My car bucks/hesitates at low RPMs, especially when the engine is cold. I took it to the dealer yesterday morning, and they are working with BMW North America on diagnosing the problem. They said my car already has the most current software, and they think it is actually a fuel pump problem. I'm waiting to hear back from my service advisor for an update on the diagnosis. I hope I don't have to be without my car for long. I've only had it since Feb. 3.
My ZHP had that issue. Turned out to be a coil issue.
I think the fuel pump issues were related to an early build period but cars built recently shouldn't have this problem. I think if you search you can find the specific date range that was affected.
It's not the main fuel pump, it's the secondary high pressure fuel pump. It runs at a very high pressure so it's sort of not a huge shock they are dying. Apparently it's limited to a certain production run though, so once these are all sorted we should stop hearing about them.
It's a pretty easy fix too.
I had the same symptoms (09/06 build) and needed a new HP fuel pump. It took 11 days to get BMWNA to approve the repair and get the part from Germany. As of a few weeks ago, there was a national backorder...
1 Attachment(s)
I just heard from my Service Advisor. He said that BMW NA approved the replacement of the high pressure fuel pump in my car. He said the part is on backorder, as expected, and he said I can come pick up my car and hold onto it until the part comes in. That way I don't have to drive the smoke stinking loaner they gave me. By the way, my car was a 12/23/06 build. Attached is the service bulletin I found on the problem. You can see that they now think the problem exists on engines produced between 6/06 and 12/1/06. And that is the ENGINE build date, not the car build date.
man you guys, this is no ok. fuel pump or not. at 3000 miles? Multiple failures? Give me a break. blind loyalty can only get in the way of improving a product. Look a ford and chevy. Their cars sucks and it had been ok because people still bought them. Now facing share loss they actually starting to make better cars.
So stop defending the cars defects and maybe BMW will start building more reliable cars. Wake up and realize that BMW didn't fully validate this vehicle and are using the first batch of owners to do the most basic of tests. Any sort of decent testing would have uncovered this.
Some of you guys are like the moms that defend their obnoxious kids without reason and point to other kids. It cracks me up every time I see a "Infiniti recalled 1000 times!" thread on the 3series board.
No one is defending them (at least I don't think?), we're just pointing out the facts behind this issue. It's a secondary high pressure pump, it effects engines built between June '06 and Dec '06, the repair itself is not difficult, nor is diagnosing it (it's a black or white yes or no code), but the part is on backorder so it can take some time. Yes, it sucks; same as the engine oil cooler being left out of auto's with ZSP sucks - but get some perspective, in terms of brand new model launches this one has been surprisingly uneventful.
FWIW -- to the OP, it does sound like the fuel pump problem.
I am a previous owner of a s2000, and on the forums whenever a cluth problem, or tranny problem appears everyone on the forums would be all over it. None of this "ah it's nothing" or "hey, it's just the teething process".
Of course it is always difficult to criticize your baby.
I don't want to jinx my 335i coupe, but I'm at 4000 miles and it's running great. I did have a nail in one of my runflats and had to replace it..........$350- ouch.
i support the teething theory here honestly...people should know that in technically advanced cars the first MY has issues...i mean look at toyota/lexus! the haulted the launch of several new MY cars last year because there were pre-release issues not caught in initial testing!
fact of the matter is this...direct injection is a new technology for production cars...audi brought it in MY 2005.5 with the 2.0T FSI...and that has initial fuel pump issues fixed for MY 2006+...if you want ot lead the pack in ownership you MUST accept the fact that these things happen. furthermore, FI is new for BMW after decades of hiatus...there will be a few bumps in the road, and at the end of the day that is what a waranty is for.
by MY 2008 all of these little issues will have been resolved and it wil be back to normal for the 335, and time to run into issues with the new m3!
i agree that it's not acceptable for having more than average reliability issues on cars costing a lot more than average. can't german car companies learn from janpanese companies? there really isn't any excuse. and making new car owner wait for parts to fix problems is poor customer care. i'm impressed that most toyotas are built in the usa and are able to maintain their quality.

American home builders are making a difference in southeast Africa.
What if over half the American population was earning less than a $1 per day? Well that's Malawi, a country in southeast Africa where donations from Homes for HOPE are being used. Consider what it would be like to live in a place where all gasoline is imported, 7 out of 10 hospital beds are filled with HIV/Aids patients, and 6 out of 10 people live on less than a dollar per day. It's horrific! But it's not hopeless.read more

Convert Multicast IP To Mac Address Online

For multicast forwarding, the mac addresses in the range 01-00-5E-00-00-00 to 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FF have been reserved. The most significant 25 bits of the above 48-bit mac address are fixed while the lower 23 bits are variable. These lower 23 bits are derived from the lower 23 bits of the multicast IP address. The IP multicast range spans from 188.8.131.52 to 220.127.116.11. The most significant 4 bits of this address range is fixed ( 1110 ). Hence when an IP multicast address maps to a mac address, out of the total of..... Read More
Crafting VxLAN packets using Ostinato

At the recently concluded VMworld 2011, VMware and Cisco announced the VxLAN technology which was developed to address scalability problems in today's data centers. Virtualized data centers today using traditional VLANs have scaling problems due to the 12-bit VLAN space which translates to a maximum of 4094 usable VLANs. Another requirement for multi-tenant networks is to isolate tenant traffic from one another. A VLAN could be used to provide this isolation on a L2 network but is again limited by the the.....

How To Remove Hypothecation From RC After Car Loan Termination
By October 22, 2010 130 CommentsOn
If you have taken car loan and made the complete payment to the bank either eg by pre-paying your loan amount or by paying out the last EMI of your loan tenure, then the first thing you should do is to get the vehicle transferred from bank's name to your own name. This process is called removal of hypothecation. It is important to get this done since the bank should no longer own/control the vehicle and the rightful ownership should now be in your own name. One of the readers..... Read More
The Must Have WordPress Post Publish CheckList
By September 2, 2010 Leave a CommentOn
Whenever I complete writing a post, there are always a set of steps that I take care of before hitting the publish button. Initially, the number of steps were few but as I started learning more and more about blogging/SEO/social media and so on, this small checklist started increasing to take care of the same. I will be sharing this checklist in this post as I feel that it is a kind of must have for every blog publisher. Typically, I use the wordpress editor itself for composing/editing/publishing my posts...... Read More

Despite success, Sewickley Academy baseball still building coach says
The resurgence of the Sewickley Academy baseball team continued this season.
After reaching the WPIAL playoffs for the first time since 2006 last season, the Panthers made history this year with their first appearance in the PIAA playoffs.
Despite the success, second-year coach Andrew Heck said the Panthers still have a long way to go.
"I don't think we have turned the corner yet," Heck said. "It takes years to build programs. I don't think we are satisfied yet. There is still a sour taste of bad baseball for some of the players in the program. They still have the memory of losing close to a tough team and having to bury the season."
Sewickley Academy (10-7, 5-3 in Section 5-A) fell to Elk County Catholic, 3-2, in the opening round of the PIAA tournament last week. The Crusaders took the lead in the bottom of the fifth after they scored on an error. The Panthers trailed 2-0 until they scored twice in the fifth to draw even.
It was the final game for six seniors on the roster – Ben DiNardo, Christopher Dick, Connor Duddy, Mike Manzinger, Sam Duerr and Tom Pregel.
"I wish I had nine guys like them on the field for every game," Heck said. "Their drive, their desire, they willingness to work helped this team succeed. They were like another coach on the field. The reason we got were we did was they pushed everyone."
Despite the loss of talent, the Panthers should expect to see more success next year.
The team will return its top pitchers in Drew Johnson and Joe Nagel. The pair of rising seniors pitched a majority of the innings for Sewickley Academy this season but Heck is still hoping to see some younger players challenge the duo next year.
"Those are our two main guys," Heck said. "But I want young guys to step up and compete for spots. We had good pitching depth this season, but I would have liked to seen more young guys want the ball more. I am the kind of coach who wants players who want to be in big games."
The team will also return infielders John Nagel, Derek Littlefield and Drew Zbihly
The Panthers will join Section 3-A next season and compete against Aliquippa, Quigley, Rochester, Union and Western Beaver. With a strong group of returning talent, Heck sees no reason why his squad can't take another step forward and compete for a title in its new home.
"There will be good teams like Rochester and Western Beaver," Heck said. "But competing for the section title will be a goal. The players are starting to believe in themselves. For a long time, only the big time sports (at) Sewickley Academy like lacrosse, basketball and tennis had accountability and knew they wanted to be better.
"Now baseball is starting to get there. Our biggest challenge is to get these players to keep buying into the system and the belief we can be better."

Ruth Namie's pre- and post-doctoral career was spent in clinics treating individuals with chemical dependency problems. She was an effective and sought-after professional, enjoying respect from all supervisors. In 1995, she voluntarily transferred to a clinic that allowed her to return to helping families. Little did she know, her life was about to take a drastic turn. She soon encountered the boss from hell, a clinical psychologist named Sheila. The demise of her happy career followed the predictable stages we have come to document over the years.
Like all targeted individuals and their caring partners, we did not know what to call the irrational thunderbolt that struck Ruth without invitation or reason. Ruth called it harassment as per HR instructions. However, we learned the difficult lesson -- when the source of harassment is a person of the same gender or same race, it is legal and considered not worthy of consideration by HR.
After the family's recovery period, we found that the Brits called it workplace bullying; the Scandinavians called it mobbing. In June 1997, there was no U.S. organization dealing with it. So, we started the Campaign Against Workplace Bullying in Benicia, California.
The modest beginning was on our Work Doctor website. We began writing about every aspect of bullying that we could find. We relied heavily on the European and Canadian research, which had a decade head start on Americans.
The Campaign got its own website on Jan. 3, 1998 (bullybusters.org). It had grown to be rather encyclopedic. After all, Gary was an academic (still teaching in No. California to live) and determined to teach. Ruth saw the need to reach out to people harmed like she had been. We established a toll-free crisis line for those seeking validation and advice. We answered the number day and night, weekdays and weekends. It consumed us, both emotionally and financially. However, before we abandoned the goal of giving advice at our expense, Ruth and Gary had heard over 6,000 stories, most of which were told in one-hour blocks.
The first national press coverage for the Campaign came from the Washington Post, then USA Today as a special 1998 Labor Day feature. Callers flocked to us. We recruited volunteers to help with logistics and helping us respond to the hundreds of e-mail requests for confirmation that the sender was not crazy. Ruth ran a local support group and, under supervision, offered counseling to bullied clients.
Later, we would become known for our empirical quantitative research, but those first eight years, when we lived on the phone with others, we gleaned rich anecdotal information that no survey could yield. We had heard every conceivable and heart-breaking variation of bullying that exists.
Because of a pending Oprah appearance, we hurriedly wrote and published our first book in late 1998 -- BullyProof Yourself At Work. In 2000, the publisher Sourcebooks discovered us and bought the book that became The Bully At Work. The second edition of the book came out in 2009.
Additionally in 2000, in Oakland, CA, the Campaign Against Workplace Bullying hosted the first U.S. conference dedicated to workplace bullying. International colleagues blessed us with their in-person contributions [Charlotte Rayner from the UK, Michael Sheehan from Australia, Ken Westhues from Canada] as well as the only American academics working in the field at the time [Loraleigh Keashly & David Yamada]. A second conference in 2000 was hosted by the Suffolk University Law School exploring gaps in the legal system relevant to bullying.
The Campaign moved from Benicia, California to Bellingham, Washington in late 2001. Gary again taught university, capping a 21-year career. For Western Washington University, he designed and taught the first U.S. college course on bullying -- Psychological Violence At Work.
In Bellingham, the Campaign became the Workplace Bullying Institute because a team of volunteer research students made possible more survey research. WBI considers the production and dissemination of research a most important activity.
The WBI years have been a time of remarkable expansion -- both in scope of services rendered and staffing. First, we conducted major online studies starting in 2003, 2008 and 2009. These surveys of self-selected samples of website visitors (not scientific studies) were the largest samples of bullied targets to describe their experiences. In 2010, we began Instant Polling at the WBI website for snapshot views on bullying-related themes.
The most significant advance was the WBI affiliation with John Zogby, the pollster. In 2007, 2010 and 2014, WBI commissioned Zogby to conduct the U.S. Workplace Bullying Survey. Those surveys have become the "gold standard" in measuring bullying's prevalence among all adult Americans. Zogby's sample was a scientific (technically representative of the nation) one. The WBI prevalence stats are the most frequently cited in North America. WBI regularly presents its research papers and participates in symposia at various professional and scientific conferences around the world.
Beginning in 2008, WBI designed and delivered its first 3-day training program for professionals called Workplace Bullying University®. Attendees have included HR, union officers, trainers, consultants, managers, and psychologists. University is offered periodically throughout each year. The first Union-only University was held in Sept. 2011.
In 2014, we expanded our educational outreach. For bullied targets and their family, we created the Retreat. For employers and Unions, we added a 1-day train-the-trainer Seminar to offer as an alternative to University.
WBI began offering low-fee telephone coaching for bullied targets in 2009 by a licensed mental health professional trained by us in workplace bullying dynamics.
In America, WBI remains the first and only organization that integrates all aspects of workplace bullying: self-help advice for individuals, personal coaching, research, public education, union assistance, training for professionals, employer consulting, and legislative advocacy.

Poached Tuna with Kumquats and Jalapeño
This incredibly quick and easy dish from New Orleans chef Donald Link's Down South cookbook features tuna steaks poached until rare in a bright, buttery sauce that's infused with tangy lime and kumquats, spicy jalapeños and fresh mint. Doubled or tripled, it would make an excellent dinner-party dish.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 2
- Two 6-ounce tuna steaks, cut 1 1/4 inches thick
- Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño—stemmed, seeded and minced
- 4 kumquats, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, torn
How to make this recipe
Season the tuna steaks with salt. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the olive oil and lime juice. Stir in the minced jalapeño and sliced kumquats. Add the tuna steaks and cook them over moderate heat, turning once, until they're rare, about 4 minutes.
Transfer the tuna steaks to a carving board and slice them 1/3 inch thick, then arrange them on plates. Stir the torn mint into the sauce, spoon over the tuna and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Zippy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

Ride-Sharing Talks Continue
Houston City Council continues to work behind the scenes on whether or not to allow new ride-sharing services in the Bayou City. Taxi companies sued to block companies Uber and Lyft from operating, now council is trying to negotiate a compromise.
Councilman Michael Kubosh wants a level playing field.
"I want to make sure they are licensed and they have been checked out with criminal background checks, I want to make sure they have proper insurance on their car in case there's an accident," Kubosh tells KTRH News.
However, the growing demand for convenient and cheaper mobile app transportation includes users like the High Tech Texan Michael Garfield.
"In many cases they speak the same language, you know they have a great car instead of a taxicab with a plexiglass divider between the driver and you, there are number of different pluses," says Garfield.
Unlike taxi drivers, those working for Uber or Lyft can be anybody, using their own vehicles to give rides.
"You're able to quickly find out how many seconds away they are, and not even be able to pay because everything is done through a transaction without any cash, it's so simple," says Garfield.
Kubosh calls it illegal.
"I asked one of the drivers for one of the companies have you contacted your insurance company? He said 'no, they don't know I'm doing ride-sharing," he says.
City Council plans to vote on the issue by the end of the month.

Water warm, not HOT after faucet repair?!?
As I said in my earlier post; I just replaced a failed two-handle shower set- valves only. After I turned the water supplies back on and burped all the lines. All was fine, no leaks. About six hours later though, my daughter complained that the water was not very hot. I confirmed that a few hours later. The faucets all through the house would deliver hot; but not even cup of coffee hot water. I reset the breakers in the middle of the night. This morning the water is hotter in some faucets; but still not up to speed int my upstairs shower. The shower I fixed is on the floor below. The valve set I used both say R.H. Hot/Cold, so I assume they are both ok. I did notice that the Shower valve body is hot on both sides at each valve. Any ideas what might be causing this. The circuit breakers did not seem to have been tripped?
pull the knob off the hot and check to see if it's heat adjustable.
Knob off of the hot valve on the shower valve? If this is what you are asking, then I have to ad that this is an older style valve- not a cartridge type.
I don't know where else there might be an adjuster of any kind. Is that what you mean?
Peeber on the Knobbing? Do you mean Peanut butter on the knobbing... I've heard of that.
nope, not peanut butter.
some carts have a way to adjust the maximum amount of hot water allowed, i suspect this may be your problem.
gotta pic?
OK, Here is what happened...
When I removed the valve from the cold water side, there was no longer a valve to restrict water from flowing through the shower head when I turned the water supply back on so I removed the shower head and capped it. Then I also capped the valve body until I replaced the faulty valve. I chose to replace both valves (H and C) because the other one was starting to show a slow leak as well. I chose new complete valves; rather than rebuilding them. After I replaced the valves, and saw they were not leaking at all, I turned the water supply back on; but left the cap on the shower stub. Since I had to repair the torn out shower wall, I figured there was no sense in putting the shower head as no one would be using the shower until it was repaired anyway. Then the water in my shower was warm not hot. In fact all the faucets were giving only moderately Hot water. I though my water heater was going or something.
This morning I let the cold water run in the kitchen so I could swallow my medications. I ended up with a mouth full of warm water???
That is when it hit me that the valves were never turned to the "closed" position. I hadn't installed the knobs yet; so I did not trip on this oversight. With a pair of pliers I turned both new valve stem to the full closed position and the problem was solved. It never occurred to me that open valves that usually dispense the water allowed the capped off stream to recirculate into the rest of the household.
So there you go.:thumbup:
Thanks for the input.
glad you found the problem, this was a weird one!

America's State Parks to Host First Day Hikes
Share your adventures using #FirstDayHikes
Looking for an invigorating way to kick off the New Year? Ring in 2014 with a First Day Hike January 1 in a state park near you! All 50 states are participating in the third annual event that invites families and friends to celebrate the New Year amid the sights, sounds and wonder of our natural world with fun, guided hikes.
"Last year, First Day Hikes hosted 22,000 people, who covered nearly 44,000 miles in 700 state parks all across the country," said Priscilla Geigis, president of the National Association of State Park Directors (NASPD). "These family-friendly outings provide a great chance to get outside and experience the beauty of our parks, stay fit and build lasting traditions with loved ones."
On a First Day Hike visitors enjoy exciting one- to two- mile journeys through diverse, beautiful natural areas, led by park rangers and volunteers. Many hikes include additional activities such as campfires, s'mores, crafts, costume contests and storytelling.
America's State Parks and American Hiking Society are teaming up to promote First Day Hikes as a healthy and memorable way to start the New Year.
"Winter hiking is a fun and wonderful experience, but does require all hikers to be properly prepared," noted Gregory Miller, president of American Hiking Society. "We are encouraging Americans young and old to ring in the New Year by putting on their hiking boots and joining First Day Hikes in support of state parks and trails in 2014."
America's State Parks boast a variety of beautiful settings for year-round outdoor recreation, and each First Day Hike will offer an opportunity to explore unique natural and cultural treasures close to home. Featured hikes nationwide include a candlelight walk during Alaska's darkest time of year, a horseback ride along Indiana's Tippecanoe River, an interpretive trek along the magnificent longleaf pine forest at Florida's Alfred B. Maclay Gardens, a guided exploration of the wide open desert hills of West Texas, and a sunrise tour of Hawaii's sweeping ocean views.
"America's State Parks is committed to connecting people with some of the most important natural and historical features in their region," said Lewis Ledford, executive director of NASPD. "These hikes are also a reminder of the value of state parks to the well-being of children. Getting kids outside and unplugged from their electronics promotes their physical and mental health and inspires stewardship of our natural world for future generations."
First Day Hikes originated more than 20 years ago at the Blue Hills Reservation — a state park in Milton, Massachusetts. Details about the more than 700 hike locations, including difficulty and length, program themes, terrain and starting times are listed on most state park system websites.
The National Association of State Park Directors promotes and advocates for the state park systems across America in providing for conservation and management of natural and cultural resources, quality outdoor recreation experiences, connecting children and families to nature and the outdoors, and more. With more than 7,000 park areas and visitation that exceeds 720 million annually, the economic impact to local communities is estimated to exceed $20 billion each year. America's State Parks is an alliance of state park systems in all 50 states.
For helpful cold weather hiking tips, visit the American Hiking Society's website at americanhiking.org/cold-weather-hiking.
All participants are encouraged to log their First Day Hike adventures on social media with #FirstDayHikes.

Spicy Beef and Broccoli Salad with Kimchi
Kimchi, added here for heat, is a Korean condiment that is also commonly eaten in Japan. Kimchi is made from many vegetables, but brined napa cabbage with hot red peppers and garlic is the most familiar. Kimchi is sold at many supermarkets and Asian food shops.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 3 cups water
- 3/4 pound broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets, stalks peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 pound trimmed beef rib eye, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced kimchi
How to make this recipe
In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate to cool.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and stems and cook until they are bright green, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to a colander and refresh under cold water. Pat the broccoli dry with paper towels.
Add the sliced rib eye to the boiling water and cook until medium rare, about 40 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate. Spread the slices in an even layer and season them with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the cooking water with the soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Add the broccoli, sliced beef, kimchi and sesame seeds to the bowl and toss the salad well. Serve the beef and broccoli salad at once.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Pensions paid by, or out of funds created by, Germany, its political subdivisions, local authorities, or instrumentalities for services performed for the paying governmental body are exempt from U.S. income tax unless the recipient is both a resident and a national of the United States.
This exemption does not apply to income or pensions for services performed in connection with a business carried on by Germany, its political subdivisions, local authorities, or instrumentalities.
Hi Lev,
sorry to be obtuse but just to make sure I understand...my husband will remain a German citizen but will become a legal resident, a green card holder of the US and therefore will not have to pay US taxes on his German pension.
