Roads & Transport Authority announces third phase of plan to cut congestion on key roads
care to care Tuesday, 1 April 2014 1:53 PM - UAE
come on guys, do you think your comments will have any positive impact ?
Ashfaq Friday, 8 March 2013 11:04 PM - Pakistan
@ greydog, why should RTA penalize the large public who works hard to earn and save for our children's education and future? Is this a reasonable way to reduce the number of cars entering Dubai daily? What about the other Saliks located in odd places that play absolutely no role in reducing or regulating the traffic? Where is Dubai the City That Cares???
Laith Friday, 1 March 2013 12:25 PM - UAE
I requested the respected authorities in Dubai to rethink these new Salik gates. Life is not easy and is very burdensome when you have children to educate. This will encourage people to remain in Sharjah during weekends and use carpooling during weekdays but these new Salik gates will never force people to relocate to Dubai simply because Sharjah and northern Emirates rent prices are considerably cheaper than rents in Dubai. A small example, a one-bedroom apartment in Sharjah can range from Dhs 20,000 to Dhs 30,000 while the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai ranges from Dhs 30,000 to Dhs 60,000 per year which only means that rent for a one-bedroom flat in Dubai is about 60% higher than in Sharjah. Once again, please rethink these new Salik gates.greydog Thursday, 7 March 2013 3:06 PM - UAE
Laith - I welcome your recognition that you have choices - car sharing, staying in Sharjah, using public transport etc. I don't think RTA has any desire to reolcate people to Dubai - they just want to reduce the number of cars coming into their city every day from elsewhere.
Expat - Your final comment is spot on! One of the biggest reasons why rents are cheaper in Sharjah is because the public infrastructure (inc roads and public transport services) is not very good, and the congestion on Dubai'soads is a consequence! On the other hand, if Sharjah Transport address these problems, rents will rise...Expat Wednesday, 6 March 2013 2:48 PM - UAE
If only the RTA would read AB for these comments and listen to any common man and his problems. RTA will never go back on their decisions as they have already announced it. Maybe they will turn it off at night atleast & weekends when the congestion does not exist to be SALIKed. Or atleast provide good alternate transport in co-ordination with Sharjah Transport with good connectivity between the 2 Emirates. I wonder what Sharjah Transport will do to help Sharjah residents to face this new situation?
Hisham Thursday, 21 February 2013 12:13 PM - UAE
Every time there is an increase in some fees people have to pay in Dubai (which are already minute even when totalled all up) people have the strangest comments. The country doesn't owe you anything and it should be obvious that no country in the world makes it it's sole mission to satisfy people coming in from other countries. The UAE does much more for the 89% non-UAE nationals than can be asked from any country. In fact, I think (and I am not a UAE national) some forms of tax would be very justifiable. For example, the huge sums of money leaking out of the economy through remittance to some countries should be heavily taxed (at at least 50%). That money would greatly benefit the local economy if it were to circulate, thus benefiting us all as fees do not have to be increased, but instead ends up greatly benefiting other economies.Sarfaraz Sunday, 31 March 2013 3:16 PM - India
i think you've lost ur senses hisham. tax on remittance @50% would make 99% of the 89% expats leave the country for good, and then the RTA, DEWA etc can see how they can run thier city/country without the income earned from the hard working expats & without their manpower. It'll take only a few months to turn this entire city/country into a ghost country by levying any kind of taxes....
I'm an Indian expat civil engineer living here for not long & i still rue the day that i came to see this glittery part of the world....imposing any tax on me & I'll be a happy boomerang going back to my country......Sasha Tuesday, 19 March 2013 3:25 PM - DUBAI
Hisham, you do know, those countries where you DO pay taxes, you are eligible for both a tax return and you do happen to qualify to be a CITIZEN too !! you always are and will be an "outsider" in this part of the world (Gulf Region). So the only thing with which they attract people to come here and work is the whole notion of "we are a tax free nation" .
Hadi Friday, 22 February 2013 10:52 AM - UAE
Very true Hisham, they will keep on whining when they have to pay rents and fees and fines but they know that they have no choice but to pay so let us leave them to their usual whining and if they do not like it, they know the several air, land and sea exits.M.A.K Thursday, 21 February 2013 2:45 PM - Saudi Arabia
("at least 50%") Great reasoning! While were at it, why don't we work for peanuts and live in cages.Wildwine Thursday, 21 February 2013 2:44 PM - UAE
@Hisham, I think you have got it wrong.
In the current situation (whether anybody likes it or not), UAE needs the expats (may be more than expats need UAE). Otherwise, who is going to live in the properties, buy the goods, use the massive infrastructure and keep the economy running?
It is simply not possible to run an economy as big as UAE with only UAE nationals: this is the reality.
Whether this is an ideal situation for the local community is another discussion.
Taxing 50% of remittances is not such a bright idea in this context.
Moreover, UAE is a free market and this is a fundamental aspect of the success of the country. As suggested by you if you are going to tax remittances how is that going to be compatible within a free market?
amir Wednesday, 20 February 2013 2:17 PM - UK
What if 90% of all traffic from Sharjah & Northern Emirates used Salik.... How it would help in congestion, except for the fact that RTA's income would skyrocket.
Either companies got to pay for this or employees. It could have major impact for people living in these areas.
What if Sharjah or Northern Emirates would put up similar plans to ease traffic jam.....greydog Thursday, 7 March 2013 3:06 PM - uae
- they would have to provide alternative transport systems first (as Dubai did with the metro).
Grant Holt Wednesday, 20 February 2013 1:05 PM - UAE
Be nice if they used some of the income from salik to print highway codes and distribute them free of charge at petrol stations.
This might then help the people who cause the road congestion realise the following:
If your being undertaken, that means your in the wrong lane, as lanes are only meant for overtaking, not hogging. Move over to the right hand side if the lanes are free.
The hard shoulder is not a pick-up/ drop-off point for taxis and buses. Re-joining a busy road from a standing start is not sensible or safe to other road users. When you pull into fast moving traffic you are meant to speed-up to the flow, not brake or try to move lanes before your even up to the traffic flow speed.
Dont reverse up a highway if you miss a turn, go to the next interchange and come back.
These sort of things cause the real congestion, as they slow the flow of traffic and cause accidents!
Had my rant for the day, now for a nice drive to Abu Dhabi!
Adam Wednesday, 20 February 2013 1:01 PM - UAE
We are here to work and save for our sons and daughters, if this trend continues, how are we going to save??? Please be always guided by your conscience before applying such fees on hard working families because sooner or later we all will be held accountable to God.
omar is back Wednesday, 20 February 2013 9:49 AM - Dubai
I wish i could have asked Sheikh Mohammed the question at the summit: Over a long period of time, UAE has been discussing the demographic inbalance that instead of improving, expats have reached the unbelievable 89% of the population and this is really unhealthy for any country!I am not a UAE citizen but i must say that i am not surprised how people moan about Dubai while their countries don't have 1 single km of UAE roads nor 1 single metro station like here nor 1 hall of any UAE airport!!!With the big boom in UAE now and all the crazy rents again, RTA had to do something and more Salik shouldnt be the end of the world-all big cities have tens of toll gates so 6 in Dubai is no disaster!!!Like AB said in its greatest articles ever in the middle of the 2009 crisis- Don't moan, look closer to home!!!Thank God 1 million times every second you are in Dubai (yes, most probably better than your country - admit it bravely so you know how to improve your home country!!)
Kevin Tuesday, 19 February 2013 1:09 PM - UAE
I wish I listened to my friend and never bought a car a couple of months ago but hey no harm done really, I decided to sell it and live stress free again, it just ain't worth it with all the Salik and parking fees and hidden cameras etc.
Richard Wright Monday, 18 February 2013 4:23 PM - UAE
I am not sure why people think that this is a congestion charge.
If you go to salik.ae it clearly states in its oopening line: 'Salik, meaning open or clear, is Dubai?s road toll collection system'.
Salik operate toll roads.
This is no different to many cities throughout the world. And in all of those cases that I know of, you pay a toll to drive on that road any time of the day or night.SAM Thursday, 21 February 2013 12:13 PM - UAE
@henry: most affected people are commuters from Sharjah and most will be considered below the poverty line if they were living in Denmark, hence no taxes paid. In fact, they will be receiving government support. I just felt sad for the individual who will spend 20% of his gross salary on Salik and DEWA fixed charge; it is called compassion in certain circles. Personally, I am not affected by this toll as I never use these roads.henry Wednesday, 20 February 2013 1:04 PM - Denmark
I dont understand why someone complain so much of the tolls in Dubai - take a look on the total tax burden you have and it is nothing compared to the taxes in the west. Population has grown with a speed that if the same would have happened in EU it would have been complete chaos.
Dont like the toll - sell your car!

Wobbling/ Sudden Imbalance
My sister's mixed breed dog [ Lab & golden retriever] started wobbling and losing his balance late last nite [ Monday, 9.14.09] Saturday [9.12.09] we took to the vet for a flea infestation. They put him on steroids and I believe an antibiotic along with a sample of Comfortis. My bro in law gave him the medicine along with a dewormer at the same time. Could the wobbling/ imbalance be a drug overdose or a case of hypothyroidism? One of the dog's pups died from this earlier this year. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

It is time to call your vet back... that is quite a mixed cocktail of drugs... he could be reacting to any one of them or any combination of them. The vet needs to know about this reaction and to decide what to do based on his findings from both Saturday and his current condition.

Could be vestibular (ear). It happened to my older dog during the night. After that he walked with his head cocked and a little side gait to his walk, but he lived several years longer.

Shares in beleaguered NVC Lighting Holding dropped 9.3 per cent yesterday after announcing that its founder and former chairman Wu Changjiang is selling nearly two-thirds of his shares to Elec-Tech International (HK).
Wu will transfer 372.9 million of his total 587.4 million shares in the lighting manufacturer, which amounts to 11.81 per cent of the issued share capital of the company, according to a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Shares in Elec-Tech International Co (ETIC), the Shenzhen-listed parent company of Elec-Tech International (HK), or ETHK, dropped 4 per cent yesterday after resuming trading following a six-day suspension, on a day the key Shenzhen index did not move much.
ETIC, also a lighting manufacturer, said in a filing to the Shenzhen stock exchange that it is buying the stock for HK$2.55 each in the HK$951 million deal.
In Hong Kong, NVC shares lost 22 HK cents to close at HK$2.14 yesterday. The Hang Seng Index inched up 0.35 per cent.
"Traditional lighting equipment will be replaced by new technology and the industry is facing fundamental transformation," Wu told mainland media. "ETIC's joining [us] as the largest shareholder will be good for the long-term development of NVC."
Tong Diyi, a general manager at Beijing-based Longwin Asset Management, said selling the shares could have been a tough decision for Wu as founders seldom like to part with their holdings. "They treat their companies like their children," Tong said.
Whether Wu will really hand over NVC's management to ETIC would depend on whether he receives cash or ETIC stock in lieu of his shares, according to Tong.
"If he asked for money, he will leave. But if he is getting shares in ETIC, he may retain his influence in NVC," Tong said.
In May, Wu resigned as chairman and chief executive and Andrew Yan of SAIF Partners, a private-equity firm and the largest shareholder at the time, was appointed chairman.
In August, NVC warned of a large profit fall owing to rising costs, a drop in demand and sales, and Wu's resignation.
A number of senior employees have since resigned, including a vice-president and a general manager, while NVC's distributors and workers have gone on strikes demanding Wu back. In late August, NVC said it had held talks on Wu's possible return.
Yan is still the chairman, but not an executive director.
Separately, ETIC spent HK$703.5 million buying another 260.3 million shares of NVC, or 8.24 per cent of the total.
After the share transfer, Wu will hold 6.79 per cent of the total issued share capital. ETHK will hold 20.05 per cent and become the single-largest shareholder.
NVC is the largest contract manufacturer of lighting in China, according to a JP Morgan report.

--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Looks like a grip to me too.
Dont some departments have firefighters and police officers that do both tasks? Even then the article does say officers, so maybe hes a cop out of uniform.
His holster may be sitting low too.
That may be a gun, but that does not appear to be bunker gear. It appears to be coveralls that have been opened up and then the top half dropped off the shoulders and tied around the mid section. Notice the lack of suspenders.
Notice that the article said that police officers helped with the cleanup. What do you see in the picture? You see one definite firefighter, two apparent road workers (hard hats), a bald guy) and the guy with the "gun." In other words, there are people in the image other than firefighters.
Some of our local highway workers have coveralls like that, of similar color, and if it was being worn properly, you would see several reflective areas.
Bottom line, the guy with the "gun" may not be a firefighter. I don't see anything in the image to indicate that he is.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
So what if he has a gun?
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
From the sounds of it, it could be a volunteer FD. I am a volunteer FF and carry when I respond to calls. Depending on the situation, I may leave my weapon in my truck, but if time is of the essence, I won't bother disarming.

If You Want To Know The Mind Of A Man Listen To His Words
I blew the picture up to 400 percent.
It is a Glock. It also appears that he is a cop, perhaps part of the Sheriffs Office. His hat has a star on the front with some writing in the back, his name perhaps.
He is wearing a uniform shirt, the lapel is visible. Also, looking at the sweat pattern and the familiar hump along his back, I'd say he is wearing a vest also.

Looks like a gun. Prob a cop IMHO.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Looks like a grip to me. Could be the grip on one of those new concealed Pulaski tools though
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
Scene and Personnel Safety, not very high on the list of this operation
I was a bit skeptical when I read the title, but as soon as I saw it I thought "Oh, he carries a Glock." Definitely coveralls too.
Probably PD, but some locales do have inspectors with police powers that carry sidearms. And some guys are both reserve officers and volunteer firefighters.
And yes, all involved need a safety refresher. I understand it's hot, but no gloves?!?
"Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am."

It might not come much as a surprise that the average U.S. gamer is now 35 years old - studies commissioned by the Entertainment Software Association have confirmed this over the past few years - but 2006 research recently unveiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claims video game players were more likely to be overweight, depressed and introverted.
Led by researcher James Weaver, this study focused on a random sampling of 552 adults, aged 19 to 90, from the Seattle-Tacoma area. Roughly 45 percent, or 249 people, were found to be video game players, with men accounting for 56 percent of this sampling.
The men who played games weighed more, on average, than the non-gamers, while the women were found to have greater levels of depression and had overall poorer health.
In a CDC statement, Weaver suggested gaming might be a form of "digital self-medication ... and self-distraction" for this group.
Published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, this study also found adult video gamers were less social and less extroverted than their non-gaming counterparts.
Several experts have since weighed in - as video game site GamePolitics points out - to dispute the research, questioning the sample size used and the study's timing.
Readers, do you buy these findings?

The high cost of insurance, which is forcing up private school fees and curtailing excursions and sport, has prompted the state's largest Catholic school employer to levy parents to pay for the blowout in premiums.
From next year, the parents of 62,000 students at 148 Sydney archdiocese primary and secondary schools will pay up to $45 more in fees after premiums jumped from $5.7 million to $10.5 million in the past two years.
Independent schools also expect to raise fees next year by at least 7 per cent because of rising insurance costs, teacher salaries, technology and textbooks.
An insurance broker for independent schools, AON Risk Services Australia Ltd, said public liability school premiums rose 100 per cent this year, 40 per cent the previous year and could be 25 per cent higher when premiums are due in January.
Brother Kelvin Canavan, executive director of schools for the Sydney archdiocese, said all schools where trying to reduce risks - from improving playground equipment to cancelling trips to the snow.
David Farrell, deputy chairman of AON, which acts for 60 per cent of NSW independent schools, said schools had stopped activities such as whitewater rafting but "even some benign activities like swimming have been affected".
He cited a recent claim where a student slipped on the edge of a pool and fell through a glass wall. Schools could be sued up to 25 years after accidents.
Brother Kelvin said year 11 and year 12 work placements for students doing vocational subjects were under threat this year until all Catholic schools arranged joint cover.
Subjects such as construction, hospitality and metals and engineering have a mandatory on-the-job component for national industry accreditation.
Brother Kelvin said the largest rise in insurance fees was in public liability, where premiums had soared from $1.4 million in 2001 to $3.5 million this year. Workers' compensation premiums almost doubled in that period, due mainly to teacher pay rises. Building and work experience insurance have also risen sharply.
"It got to the stage where we had no other option than to pass on the rise to parents," he said.
As well as higher premiums, there were more claims from parents, students and teachers for accidents in the classroom, playground and during sport.
"While great efforts are being made to protect students and teachers, it is just not possible to make schools 100 per cent accident free," Brother Kelvin said.
The Catholic fee increases - $20 for secondary students and $45 for primary students next year - are the first insurance-related rises in a three-year archdiocesan plan to "stagger the increased charges".
Schools across the state have scaled back outdoor activities and risky sports since the 2001 collapse of the insurer HIH triggered premium rises.
Carr Government tort law changes are expected to eventually bring stability to the insurance market but Mr Farrell said the changes would take some time to flow through to lower premiums.
"In 2004, we will continue to see increases in liability [insurance] but not to the same extent as the last two years."
The Association of Independent Schools estimates that school fees next year will rise by at least 7 per cent, which is expected to be the minimum increase in average government school costs.
Federal funding of non-government schools is based on this formula but does not include a component for insurance.
The association's executive director, Terry Chapman, said insurance costs had been rising "significantly faster than other costs" and was one factor putting pressure on school fees.
But other costs - increased teacher salaries, books needed for a changing curriculum, and technology - would also contribute to fee rises
A spokesman for the Insurance Council of Australia, Rod Frail, said NSW "has led the way" on tort law reform but that the inconsistent approach by other states made it difficult for insurers to assess the impact of national changes.
"There needs to be some flow-through decisions in the courts to give an indication [of reform success] to insurers," he said.

Responder Knowledge Base Enhances Training and Education Features
In February 2011, the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB), released updates in order to enhance its mission as a trusted source of online information about first responder products, standards, certifications, grants, and other equipment-related information. While most changes are content-related, the RKB did implement a few technical updates.
In order to provide first responders with information on continuing education and to use RKB as a research tool, a Training & Education module was implemented. This module, found under the "Other Content" tab, previously provided only training information; however, the RKB now presents information regarding degree programs that are offered by universities and technical schools throughout the United States. First responders will find information about degree programs such as: Emergency Management, Public Safety, Domestic Security, Disaster Sciences/Management, Homeland Security, Fire Science/Technology, and Rescue Science Technology. At this time, the RKB is the only Web site that offers a comprehensive listing of emergency-response related degree programs.
The Safety Notices module, also located under the "Other Content" tab, is now organized by notice date. As a result, users can easily search for a safety notice by release date, rather than having to scroll through all of the records to find the appropriate notice. In addition, products that have a safety notice associated with them will be signified and the safety notices will also appear in the Knowledge Links section of the Product Details page.
Throughout the Web site, users will find that thumbnail images have been instituted in order to provide a visual of specific records. Images have been added to the Certifications & Declarations, Publications & References, Standards, and Training & Education sections. In addition, grants without a specific due date will be symbolized with an ongoing grants icon. Previously, this icon was only visible in the Grants calendar, but now appears on the Grants Results Page, as well as individual grant records.
As an increased security measure, the RKB has implemented an inactivity tool—meaning that users will be logged out of the RKB after 20 minutes of inactivity. Please note that inactivity is defined as the length of time that two different pages are displayed.
In addition, the RKB would like to highlight that we achieved a significant milestone by attracting our 75,000th registered user on February 10, 2011. The achievement of this significant milestone is highlighted on the RKB Home page.
The RKB welcomes feedback and suggestions and input can be submitted via the Provide Feedback option, located under the Help link. For additional information, e-mail the RKB at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-877-336-2752.

Thank You!

wikiHow to Get Luigi on Super Mario 64 DS
Three Parts:Finding Big Boo's MazeNavigating the MazeClaiming LuigiCommunity Q&A
Super Mario 64 DS offers the classic, unforgettable gameplay of Super Mario 64 with tons of extra features made possible with the Nintendo DS. Unlike the original Super Mario 64, you can now play as four characters — Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario! To unlock Luigi, first, you'll need to take a trip to Big Boo's Haunt and defeat Big Boo himself in his underground labyrinth!
Part 1
Finding Big Boo's Maze
1Have Mario unlocked. To get Luigi, you'll need Mario unlocked already. There's no exception to this rule — you simply can't get Luigi as Yoshi or Wario. Don't forget to switch to Mario before starting this process if you haven't already done so.
- To unlock Mario, you'll need to have eight stars. Jump into the Mario portrait in the room connected to the minigame room, then battle the Goomboss in the level you're transported to. Once you defeat him, you'll get the Mario key.
2Enter Big Boo's Haunt. As Mario, head to the castle's courtyard. From the castle foyer, this is located through the plain wooden doors and down the long hallway. You'll know you're going the right way if you see a Boo (ghost) in the hallway. Once you're in the backyard, start killing Boos until one drops a metal cage. Bump into the cage to enter Big Boo's Haunt.
- Note that you'll need to collect the first star in Big Boo's Haunt before you can get Luigi. The stairway to the second floor of the mansion (where the entrance to Luigi's level is located) only appears from the second star onward.
3Head to the second story of the mansion. Select the second star (or, if you have access to them, one of the stars after it). When the level starts, run into the mansion in front of you. Climb the staircase to the second floor and enter the door on the far right. You should enter a room with a raised wooden platform and a red "?" block.
4Make your way to the attic. Break open the red "?" block. Mario should swell up like a balloon and start to float toward the ceiling. Float into the enclave and head through the door. Note that you can press the "R" button on the DS to cancel out of the floating move.
- In the original Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, getting up here proved quite challenging — many first-timers weren't aware of this door at first and had trouble getting to it once they found it. However, in the DS version, the balloon block makes this much, much easier.
5Jump into the Luigi portrait. In the next room, you should see a large portrait of Luigi. You know what to do — hop into the painting!
Part 2
1Listen for the sound of Big Boo's laughter near the doors. After jumping into Luigi's portrait, you'll appear in a room with a large wooden carousel spinning in the center. You've entered Big Boo's Maze! The trick to making it through this maze is to listen near each door for the sound of Big Boo's laughter. The door that it's loudest next to is the door you'll want to go through!
- Note that there are eight red coins scattered throughout the maze. Though they're not required, finding all eight will win you a star.
2Proceed through the maze. In each room of the maze, follow the sound of Big Boo's laughter. If you make a mistake (or fall off a cliff), you'll be brought back to the beginning of the maze. Precise directions for the maze are listed below:
- From your starting position, enter the door on the right side of the room.
- In the next room, carefully run past the eyeball and go through the door on the left side of the room.
- In this room, get the "?" block if you wish to collect the coins on the ceiling, then head through the door on the right.
- Use the platforms to make it to the door on the left side of the room.
- Finally, run across the collapsing bridge and use the platforms to scale the wall. Head down the chimney at the top.
3Beat Big Boo! You'll fall into a room with a large mirror in front of you. Run up to the mirror and you'll see Mario's reflection turn into Luigi. After this, a battle with Big Boo will begin. Defeat Big Boo to get the Luigi key! He's not especially difficult, but you'll need to keep an eye on both Mario and Luigi to win.
- During the fight, Big Boo will switch back and forth between the reflection in the mirror (where Luigi is) and "real life" (where Mario is). When he's in the mirror, attack him with Luigi, and vice versa. Use the same strategy as you use for other Boos — kicks and ground pounds should blow him away. Watch out for his fireballs!
Part 3
Claiming Luigi
1Head to the character selection room. After the fight, you'll get the Luigi key and you'll be transported back to the castle courtyard. With this key, you can finally unlock Luigi. Run back to the castle foyer and enter the character selection room — it's the door on the far right of the top floor.
- If you've played the original Super Mario 64, the door you want is the one that led to the princess's secret slide in the original game.
2Go into the door with the green "L" above it. Now that you have the Luigi key, you can unlock Luigi's door! Go through it and Luigi will come out. Congratulations! You've unlocked Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS!
3Get a feel for Luigi's features. Compared to the other characters in Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi has several unique abilities. He's better than the other characters in some ways and worse in others — you may want to take a moment to play around with him in the castle before proceeding to get a sense for these differences. Luigi's attributes include:[1]
- Being able to run on water for several seconds
- Being able to do a spinning fall after a backflip (which deals damage)
- Being tied with Yoshi as the best jumper and having a slight "flutter" effect to his jumps
- Being a slightly slower runner than Mario
- Being slightly weaker than the other characters (taking longer to pick up heavy objects and walking slower while carrying them)
- Being the fastest swimmer in the game
- Being able to turn invisible and pass through certain substances when he collects his power flower
Community Q&A
How do you get the first star?wikiHow ContributorKill every Boo in the level. Then Big Boo should appear in the "main lobby". Ground pound him or hit him until he shrinks into a Power Star. The star is located on the second floor, so the hidden staircase (see above) should appear. Grab it and complete the level.
I'm trying to find the big boo in the courtyard in Super Mario 64 DS but I don't see him anywhere, I looked everywhere and I don't see the one with the cage!wikiHow ContributorMake sure you have got the red coin secret star in the courtyard. Once you've done that, go out of the game and back in again. Go back to the courtyard and go to the upper left in the the courtyard and the boo with the cage will appear.
How do you get Waluigi in Super Mario 64 DS?wikiHow ContributorWaluigi was not in Mario 64 DS.
|The video will show you!
- You will need at least 16 stars to access Big Boo's haunt.
- Make sure you are Mario, as he's the only character who can do this.
- This guide is for Super Mario 64 DS, not the original Super Mario 64. Despite rumors to the contrary, you can't get Luigi in the original game.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ruger Monster
I haven't had anyone bark at Ruger yet, but over the weekend we took him to a dog-friendly restaurant and someone's 2 kids were just awkwardly standing there staring at him. Instead of asking to pet him (or even saying anything), one of them stood there just out of leash-reach. Ruger got bored with him and laid down by our feet (good job, 12-week old pup! lol)
Eventually the kid sat down & started trying to feed him grass - we told him to please not do that. He was lightly petting Ruger's back, and the Ruger got into puppy mouthing mode. Finally, after about 10 minutes, the kids mom comes over & asked us if he was being nice to the dog. The kid gets up and said "He's a mean mean dog!" ... Luckily the mom had some kind of sense (even if it wasn't keeping tabs on her children at all times) and told him that's what puppies do and he's not mean. Then thanked us for letting him pet Ruger and left. The BF & I just looked at each other, shook our heads, and had to laugh.
|Traveler's Mom
I find it amazing that I can be walking Traveler and adults on bikes come from behind and will just whiz by us. I'm lucky that Traveler is unfazed but I'm usually startled.
My SOP is to move Traveler off the trail when I see activity around us but sometimes I am unaware someone is coming up from behind. All I'm asking for is a Beep Beep or Ring Ring or even "Hey Move!"
Lynn & Traveler
|Lol Shade!!
Depends on the age of the child, I guess, as to how I feel about it. If its a young kid (6 or under) I would try to take their imagination into account. Maybe they really believe they ARE talking to the dog?
I seem to have vague recollections of meowing at a cat of mine when I was a child, thinking I was "talking cat". And our daughter moos at cows...
Its another thing when its an adult barking or growling to get a reaction out of a strange dog. I think that says a lot about a person, and I would avoid them at all costs.
I was telling my husband about this (not the thread specifically but that a kid was barking at our dog when I was walking her), and he said, "What's the big deal? Kids bark at dogs."
You don't think maybe it's a little mean? PuppyGirl froze and stared. She moved on after a second because she isn't easily fazed, but it's unnecessary and borders on teasing IMO.
|Colie CVT
|Wow. Yeah now that is a special one lol. It's one thing if you are messing with your own dog or if your child is playing with their dog. But why bother doing that with someone's dog who ISN'T your own? I tend to not bother making contact at all with new dogs I meet. No talking, looking, petting. I merely stand in a neutral pose, keep my eyes on the people rather than the dog and let them decide if they want to come up to me. It has saved my hide a lot when I was doing a lot of triage and exams when I worked in the ER. Nervous dogs had the chance to investigate me and generally speaking, they were more relaxed and easier to handle.

Barking through the fence at a German Shepherd to get it to bark back is just plain rude and dumb at the same time. Do they think they are speaking dog language? Raina will bark back then I have to correct her and that isn't fair for her. I try to keep her from barking at things that are not a danger by saying "Enough, I see it," but maybe she can't tell the difference between real danger and stupid. Little kids are a whole other story. I have one neighbor with two little toddlers. Raina loves them both but they have been taught to be gentle, not run up and always ask first to pet her. She loves to kiss them and make them giggle but I try not to let her get into it too much, one kiss and that is it. I don't want her to think all toddlers are kissable and scare one away from dogs for life by trying to kiss them. Those big white teeth are pretty scary.

This is nothing unusual for a child to do ....I've howled at my dogs over the years.
My niece could howl in a high pitched tone and get one of my shepherds to return in kind like a coyote howling. So, I do not find this kind of behavior unconventional for many a child....but I wonder what Dr. Phil would say?

Soft Patch 2, Not QE2, Is Main Influence on Rates: Caroline BaumCaroline Baum
June 17 (Bloomberg) -- When it began, some thought it might not run its course. Now that it's ending, there are those who think another installment is needed. The "it," of course, is the Federal Reserve's second round of large-scale asset purchases, better known as quantitative easing.
The lender of last resort will single-handedly have accounted for more than 80 percent of the Treasury's coupon issuance from November through the end of June: $773 billion of an expected $946 billion of new cash raised through note and bond sales, according to Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey.
What happens when that big buyer says adios? Prices should fall, or in this case, yields should rise, right? At least that's what happens in a free market.
I suspect yields will rise, but not right away and not because of the termination of QE2. The economy's current soft patch, in an otherwise unremarkable recovery, will be the driving force. Let me explain.
In a free market, a cutback in demand results in lower prices in order to allocate the supply.
This isn't a free market. The Fed is a monopolist holding sway in the front end of the yield curve. It sets the price of the overnight rate, currently a range of 0 to 0.25 percent. Other short-term rates, such as those on Treasury bills and eurodollars, are priced off the fed funds rate.
Fed's Long Shadow
The farther out the curve you go, the smaller the Fed's influence. But it never totally disappears. That's because what the Fed is expected to do with the funds rate has a lot to do with the determination of the yield on notes and bonds. As long as investors expect the benchmark interest rate to stay at zero for "an extended period," as promised by the Fed, and as long as they see no risk of higher inflation from holding it there, long-term interest rates are unlikely to move higher, QE2 or no QE2.
Remember, Treasury yields rose from the inception of the Fed's $600 billion asset purchase program in November until early February amid signs that the economy was improving. Some Fed district bank presidents, who tend to be inflation hawks, questioned the necessity and advisability of expanding the already bloated balance sheet. Soaring food and energy prices pushed the consumer price index higher. Inflation was going to be the next big worry, which led investors to anticipate a rate increase later this year, reflected in fed funds futures contracts.
Fed chief Ben S. Bernanke claimed that absent the Fed's purchases, the backup in yields from about 2.4 percent to 3.75 percent on the 10-year note would have been greater.
Now Hear This
There's no way to know that for sure, however, because the Fed's intention was to shoo away other investors.
"When you announce you are going to buy a large amount of Treasuries," Crandall said, "you are saying to every investment committee: 'We're going to artificially depress returns in this asset class for six months. Respond accordingly.'"
For traders and investors, that response was to buy riskier, higher-yielding assets. For the rest of us, Bernanke laid out the game plan in a Washington Post op-ed on Nov. 4, the day after the central bank officially announced QE2.
The expected decline in Treasury yields, he explained, would lower both mortgage rates, making homes more affordable (though affordability isn't the problem for the housing market), and corporate bond rates, encouraging investment (it actually encouraged companies to issue debt). Higher stock prices would "boost consumer wealth and increase confidence," Bernanke said, and spur spending.
Cycle of Perceptions
That might have worked if consumers hadn't been bingeing for decades. As for his other hoped-for outcomes, housing has entered its sixth year of decline. Corporations are sitting on about $2 trillion in cash. Banks are holding $1.5 trillion in their accounts at the Fed.
At least the markets heeded the Fed's call. Spreads between corporate bonds and risk-free Treasuries narrowed. Stocks rallied. Commodities took off.
With the onset of soft patch 2 in the first quarter, the trends in those markets reversed. Treasury yields plunged as investors sought safety at a time when Europe is struggling to contain the Greek debt crisis and China is trying to rein in lending and tame inflation. Expectations of a Fed rate increase were pared back until the second half of 2012. There were whispers about QE3.
In short, the Treasury market has gone through an entire business cycle, and all that's changed are perceptions about the economy and the Fed. Growth has averaged 2.8 percent in the seven quarters since the recession officially ended in June 2009. A percentage point one way or the other shouldn't be a big deal, but clearly it is.
Priced for Perfection
Currently, with 10-year yields below 3 percent, Treasuries are priced for perfection: for gloom and doom everywhere else.
"The level of rates is such that by the end of July, the numbers will look rather different and yields will go back up, and it won't have had anything to do with the timing of QE2," Crandall said.
It may have nothing to do with QE2, but the Fed will welcome higher yields any way it can get them as a sign the economy is on a path of stronger growth.

Daimler Truck's subsidiary Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) revealed the new BharatBenz brand heavy-duty truck and its product strategy for the Indian market at the Auto Expo. With its first ever made-in-India truck, BharatBenz will enter the promising Indian market for medium heavy-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. India has become the world's third-largest truck market in recent years, boasting a volume far above 3,00,000 units in 2011.
To emphasise the importance of this commercial vehicle premiere for his division, Andreas Renschler, the Daimler Board of Management member responsible for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses, said, "Our strategy focuses on profitable growth. We want to boost our sales in existing markets as well as new ones. Our strategy for the new growth markets is to operate as globally as possible, on the one hand, and as locally as necessary on the other."
According to Renschler, this strategy is reflected in the new BharatBenz trucks. "The trucks are based on existing Daimler commercial vehicle platforms. Indian specialists developed the trucks for the local market, where they are also built," he said. "This is the most effective way for us to participate in the growth of India's volume segment. Our product range focuses on quality, reliability, and efficiency and particularly targets the modern domestic segment, which shows huge growth potential and reflects the growing demands of Indian customers."
On March 2, 2012, BharatBenz will unveil its entire truck line-up in the six- to 49-tonne range. The BharatBenz heavy-duty truck will be built on the Mercedes-Benz Axor platform, and the future light and medium-duty trucks will be based on the Fuso Canter and Fighter series. The new trucks will meet India's BS III emissions standard [comparable to Euro III].
Marc Llistosella, CEO of DICV, stated that the all-new plant at Oragadam, near Chennai, will start production in the first quarter of this year and will be inaugurated on April 18. While initial production capacity will be 36,000 units, DICV has the option of doubling it to 72,000 units.
BharatBenz, Daimler Trucks' fifth brand, which was unveiled in February 2011, will launch 17 products by March 2014 and all products will be launched with a minimum localisation level of 85 percent. Llistosella added that 75 percent of the 450 suppliers to the project are totally new to Daimler, which sources about 15 billion euros worth of components every year. The truckmaker will now look at increasing sourcing from India for its global operations.
On the dealership front, he said that DICV has received 465 letters of interest for dealerships to cover 70 locations in India. By the end of 2012, Daimler plans to have dealerships in 110 points. DICV also plans to hold its own exhibition in Hyderabad in March 2012.

- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed slowly in the refrigerator
- 4-6 Granny Smith apples peeled, halved and cored
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry out a little thinner than 1/8-inch. Lay on a sheet pan and chill, then cut out 3 to 4-inch disks. Cut decorative shapes from the scraps and bake them off to use later.
Slice the apples extremely thin, preferably on a Japanese mandoline. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Lay pastry disks on a parchment-lined sheet pan and place one cube of butter and a spoonful of cinnamon sugar in the center on each puff pastry disk. Start layering and stacking the apple slices in a concentric circle leaving very little edge showing to make a bee hive shape (save the smaller slices for the top layers). The stack should get smaller as you go up higher. As you build, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar in between the layers occasionally. When you're finished, the stack of apple layers should be about 3-inches high. Place a cube of butter on the top and sprinkle the apple stack liberally with cinnamon sugar. You can freeze them at this point or bake at 375° till golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.

I don't think she makes her own Vitamin C serum. I asked her a while ago (if only I can find the thread) and she mentioned that there is difficulty getting the right pH, etc. so it isn't something she would recommend.
1 tsp hyaluronic acid and/or 1 tsp glycerin
1 tsp hyaluronic acid and/or 1 tsp glycerin
Is this just the regular hyaluronic acid that's used for the face as a moisturizer?
The powder gets disolved in the distilled water and then the HA or glycerine gets added. Store in a cool dark place, preferably in an opaque bottle.
one more thing...I've seen a similar DIY recipe that uses sea kelp bioferment in place of the hyaluronic acid. Do you know what the benefits of SKB might be?
I have a question as well. I use PSF Vit C serum but it's getting expensive for me as well. I have L-Ascorbic acid powder from Whole Foods and would like to make a homeade serum also. Is the hyaluronic acid you are adding in a serum form, like the kind from Reviva labs? I have googled it, but most of the types of hyaluronic acid that come up are in the capsule form.

Daily currency report
The euro surged to one-month highs against the British pound on growing optimism Greece is about to secure a fresh injection of capital from its bailout fund which could be unlocked at a meeting between officials. Should Athens pass its latest fiscal-fitness-test, the single currency could continue to march higher and, expectations that they will, are already pushing the euro towards three-week highs against the US dollar.
Thanksgiving holiday in the US may have amplified the moves although UK fundamentals certainly supported a weaker pound after CBI's industrial trends survey missed forecasts. The eurozone published dire PMI surveys covering the regions manufacturing and services industries but hopeful comments from Germany kept investors pinned to the Greek-debt story. Europe's strongest economy is being dragged further into the debt crisis which could interrupt euro gains. However, investors may continue to make preparations for euro zone meeting and this could keep risk-taking elevated, and weaken the US dollar.
Below-par UK industrial data overlapped confidence Greece will shortly be given access to its bailout fund, sending the pound crashing to one-month lows against the euro with analysts eyeing further losses. CBI's industrial trends survey for November missed forecasts, while the reports forward-looking component supported Bank of England fears that the British economy could shrink again in the fourth quarter.
US dollar
Thanksgiving closed US markets, allowing investors to focus their attention on European developments where hopes Greece were edging towards a fresh loan deal sent demand for the safe haven US dollar sharply lower. Subsequently, Cable opens near two-week highs and may continue to climb with most traders in the US probably out enjoying Black Friday shopping.
Optimism Greece will gain access to its bailout fund sent the euro higher across the board, allowing the common currency to shrug off more disappointing data and close Thursday's session near three-week highs against the US dollar. Merkel said that she was hopeful a deal for Greece could be signed off, while the European Commission, one arm of Greece's lenders, suggested that Athens has done enough to secure additional funding. The issue of Greece has been a damaging topic for the single currency in the past, but if the country successfully passes its latest fiscal-fitness-test, the euro could soar.

Most teens these days are 'gamers' to some extent. I don't think there's a single person in my social group who doesn't own a games console. Most of my friends however, are what could be defined as 'casual' gamers, In that they predominantly play games such as Call of Duty, FIFA or other similar games, rather than opting for games with a valuable single player experience, games such as Bioshock or The Last of Us. The majority of my friends play Xbox 360, and so were over the moon when Microsoft announced the Xbox One. Upon speaking to my friends however, I learned that the majority of them didn't watch either Microsoft or Sony's reveals, and instead their knowledge of both consoles came from rumors and second hand knowledge. For example, none of my friends knew about Xbox One's restrictions on game lending, but were overjoyed when they heard (pre-E3) that Xbox one was going on sale for just £200, compared to Playstation 4's price of £500. Crazy, I know.
This is where the problem is for me, I am a gamer. I want to play games for a living. I want to make great games. I write this blog as some of my friends make explicit remarks about someone's mother over Xbox Live. I want someone who I can completely geek out with and talk about the easter eggs in The Last of Us. I do that with my friends however, and I'm labelled 'geek' or 'nerd', which are terms I'm okay with, because truth be told I am pretty geeky, I just hate being bullied because I am a geek. Just like I hate others at my school being pushed around at my school just for expressing an interest in the Steam sale.
As a matter of fact, the other day I was at school and one of my friends overheard two guys talking about World of Warcraft, to which they were jeered at for being so nerdy. I wanted to intervene, but I knew that doing so would put me close to the bottom of the social rankings. Like I said, I am a geek, I'm just better at hiding it than others. It's kind of like my superhero alter ego, my double life that nobody else knows about. Alas, I do wish I was brave enough to join my fellow geeks in person and talk about which video game characters would win if we pit them all against each other, but I can't.
I was actually talking to one of my so called friends about not getting a next-gen console and instead building my own gaming rig, with a better processor and more RAM, to this I was asked stupid questions such as "But surely a keyboard is an awful controller?" and the face palm worthy question that was "Why would you pay hundreds of pounds to play solitaire?". I dropped the conversation for fear of bitch slapping someone right then and there. That's what appeals to me about sites such as IGN though, the fact that the majority of people on the forums are helpful and in the same position as me.
For now, IGN will have to do, though I long for the day that gamers are fully accepted into society, rather than being left in a corner to discuss Fallout 4 rumors.

CSPD officer accused of DUI, tampering with evidence charged
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Charges have been filed against a Colorado Springs Police Officer who is accused of driving under the influence and then tampering with some of the evidence against him.
Officer David Rosenoff, a nearly 24-year veteran of the force, was cited for careless driving and DUI following an accident at I-25 and Woodmen Road. Officer Rosenoff was off-duty at the time of the crash, which happened at 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 10, 2013. No one was hurt.
Police say Officer Rosenoff was served and released before being driven home by the officer who arrested him.
It was after the arresting officer dropped Officer Rosenoff off at home that he discovered the blood sample missing from his vehicle.
A joint investigation between the Colorado Springs Police Department's Major Crimes Unit and the 4th Judicial District Attorney's office was launched and on Monday, November 11, 2013, Officer Rosenoff was arrested.
On Tuesday, November 26, 2013 Police announced that Officer Rosenoff has been officially charged with tampering with physical evidence, driving under the influence and careless driving.
Officer Rosenoff, who is assigned to the Patrol Bureau, is currently on paid administrative leave. He is expected to be placed on unpaid leave very soon now that formal charges have been filed against him.

I think he's drinking Tang in that cup.
Found this on another forum:
The people sitting closest to the head of a table can tell you allot about the ideas the group come-ups with. Look at the four nitwits sitting closest to Bozo. If a good idea started at the other end, there is no chance it would make it all the way.
I think he's drinking Tang in that cup.
It looks like it might be nitwits all the way down.
not tang,maybe tango.(orange drink w/vodka)

Take the 20 min drive I had intended and still no signal. Turn off car and make sure everything turns off then restart and GPS signal shows up right away. I'm guessing this must be a software issue of sorts.

The Truth About Margaret Sanger
"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

Blogger Carrie Tomko Wins 3rd Annual Margaret Sanger at the Klan Rally Art Contest
Ms. Margaret and the Klan
There once was a woman named Margaret,
Who made Negro babies her target.
She longed to see less of them,
Courted the death of them,
Sanger, this woman named Margaret.
The wives of the Klansmen who meet
Disguised in voluminous sheet,
Gave her their attention
At secret convention
To learn of her childless technique.
Ms. Sanger was poorly impressed.
Elementary they are she confessed.
So childlike she found them,
Dumbed her talk down for them,
Sanger their arrogant guest.
The organization she ran
Has snuffed out more blacks than the Klan,
Yet people aren't frighted,
But rather delighted,
Embracing the Parenthood Planned.
The judges were greatly impressed by all the entries. Fellow judge, Jill Stanek, noted, "I could tell contestants worked hard to incorporate your theme. Very creative lot!"
A very, very close second place (and winner of the reader poll!) was Chris Chan and his poweful short play, "The Killed Story."
Third place goes to Bill Hailey and his terrific poem, "Such a Loving Margaret Sanger." Be sure to check out more of Bill's work (and link to it!) at his blog, "Bill's Big Blog" - - great stuff!
Thanks also to The Catholic Caveman and the unknown writer of Haikus for their strong entries.
Special thanks to our judges, Sean Dailey and Jill Stanek.
We can not wait for next year!!!

Congratulations Carrie and Bill!
I knew Margaret Sanger was an elitist racist like most left wingers throughout history but can that photo be verified because it really looks doctored.
the picture is obviously doctored. things like this discredit the honest people who struggle to end abortion with sincerity and integrity.
C'mon guys. Read the blog. The photo I think you are talking about was the winner of the 2nd annual Art Contest.
It is clearly marked as such all over the blog.
What remains true is that Sanger spoke at a KKK Rally and so it is fair game to find different artistic ways to remember that event.
- Defund Abortion Guy said...
Thanks WJK.
The annual contest is to find artistic ways to remember that Sanger spoke at a Klan Rally. As she wrote in her autobiography:
From Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366:
Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

College orientation can be a little unnerving, particularly if you've never gone through it before. So, we've made it easy.
Beginnings is our annual orientation program that we hold in July for incoming students and their parents and family members. The purpose of the program is to give you a better understanding of who we are and what you -- and your son or daughter can expect -- in the fall. Also our parents handbook can give you some helpful information and serve as a reference throughout the year.
We've created a schedule just for you. During the two-day program, you can take part in discussions about:
You will also have the opportunity to tour our campus.
During the program, meals and housing for your son or daughter are included. You and any other family member who comes with you will be treated to a complimentary lunch on day 1. On day 2, you will be treated to breakfast and lunch. And, when you arrive on campus, you will receive a list of area restaurants, which will give you a selection of places to eat the evening of day 1. To make your trip to Bradford as easy and enjoyable as possible, you may want to consider making reservations in one of the area motels and reviewing the directions to campus.
All of the costs associated with Beginnings are covered under the $90 orientation fee, which is billed to students on their Fall Term invoices.
You can find out what's happening on campus right now by signing up to receive our bi-monthly email news letter, eConnections.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, feel free to call us at 814-362-7650 or e-mail at email@example.com.
"I was really impressed by all the attention, help and services you provided. My daughter, Roksolana Mykhlyk, was very nervous and uneasy when she arrived, but the minute she was separated from me, she felt as home. There was a free room for my daughter to stay overnight. Her brother, who was waiting for her, got to play pool. All the counselors were nice and very helpful. The food was delicious, a lot of choices. We had a very nice time, and we are hoping for a good, productive year for my daughters. I am telling all my friends, neighbors and co-workers what a beautiful university Pitt-Bradford is." -- Galyna Mykhlyk
