Are we crazy to go to Sweden in the winter? We got our kids on this Ice Hotel "kick" and now they really want to go there. We're thinking we'd spend about 5 days in Stockholm and then fly to Kiruna for a few days to stay at the Ice Hotel and try to see the Northern Lights. How would you describe Stockholm in the winter? I've never been there and would love to explore the city, but feel that we might find ourselves indoors much of the time because of the cold. Looking for any recommendations. Thank you!!!

Sweden in the Winter
Report Abuse
Where are you from and what kind of winter are you used to. If you are from the northern US or southern Canada - Stockholm in winter won;t be any worse - but it WILL be dark most of the time - very few hours of daylight.
Can;t comment on an ice hotel - but I would expect that area to be considerably colder - and would only spend a day or two there. (Stockholm has a ton of stuff to see/do.)

There is no issue with going there during winter, no one stays indoors because it is cold and snowy. Just dress appropriately, which means layers because houses, hotels and shops etc are overheated. The cold is dry so never seems quite as bad. Daylight hours may be limited depending on the month and how far north you go, but even in the last month the days have been getting noticeably longer.

The Ice Hotel is in operation between December and April (exact dates varies due to variation in temperature from year to year). It could be a good idea to visit in February or March. In my opinion December should be avoided since Stockholm is usually dark, grey and damp with rain or snow (if snow or rain varies from year to year). In Kiruna it is 24 hour darkness in December.
Sunrise and sunset in Stockholm and Kiruna:
December 11th Stockholm 8:37/14:45
December 11th Kiruna below horizon
January 11th Stockholm 8:39/15:12
January 11th Kiruna 10:38/12:56
February 11th Stockholm 7:37/16:28
February 11th Kiruna 8:18/15:30
March 11th Stockholm 6:20/17:38
March 11th Kiruna 6:21/17:19
April 11th Stockholm 5:48/19:51
April 11th Kiruna 5:11/20:12
Stockholm is not as cold as you might expect. However, it is damp because of its location on the water and could feel colder than it is. In Kiruna the air is dry. -10 degrees Celsius in Stockholm can feel as cold as -20 degrees Celsius in Kiruna because of the damp and the wind. Temperature in Stockholm hardly drops below -10 degrees Celsius even though it can drop to -20 degrees Celsius during shorter periods of time in January and February.
Have fun!

You should try going to the Jokkmokks marknad which is also WAY up North in Sweden. I read that it will be the 6-8 February 2014. There you will experience Sami culture. I think that combined with the Ice Hotel in Kiruna would be something to see.
Stockholm in the wintertime is absolutely gorgeous with the special kind of light that you find against the old buildings. Swedes love candlelight so it will be very cozy where ever you duck into. Swedish people also dress for the weather with jackets and boots, hats, gloves and the rest. Expect snow in Stockholm and the North.

Thanks for your feedback, everyone. We're going in December-January to coincide with our daughters' school vacation. I I know in the winters here (Philly), we run from house to car to wherever we're going with me exclaiming, "I hate winter!" So I'm inclined to visit Stockholm in the summer. That being said, our girls are truly excited about the Ice Hotel and I'm intrigued by that and the chance to see the Northern Lights. I guess my ultimate question is ... Will we not get the full flavor of Stockholm because of the dark and cold?
Report Abuse
Well, since you need to go during your daughter's school vacation AND you want to visit the ice hotel you haven't got much of a choice.
You can always cope with the cold, just dress properly. But be prepared to spend a week in more or less darkness. The sun does rise in Stockholm but in December it is usually cloudy so there is a risk it will feel grey and dark nevertheless.
Some people might find it cosy and the streets in central Stockholm are decorated and lit up with illuminated christmas decorations. As I live in Stockholm, I hate the darkness and I don't find it cosy at all. But that is my personal opinion. I will say that Stockholm is at its best from mid May until mid September. But of course, there are a lot of things to see and do in winter. And if you are lucky to experience some snow and after that a bright, sunny and COLD day the city is extremely beautiful in winter too. Everything is bright white and covered in frost! Extremely beautiful! On a day like this you should do a short day trip through the archipelago!
Bring good shoes! Streets and side walks could be VERY slippery due to ice!
The museums and other indoor attractions are pretty much the same regardless of when you visit. But the city is definitely VERY different in December compared to in June.
What is your main reason for visiting Sweden? If it is the Ice Hotel, go now! If it is Stockholm, go in summer!

Stockholm won;t be substantially colder than Philly -but if that cold bothers you (I love winter in NY - but would happily give up summer) you will really need to prepare yourself with proper clothing -esp a warm hat and lined winter boots that lift your feet off the frozen pavements - not "fashion" boots.
Caveat: I am talking about regular winter weather, not the couple of days each year we get when the temp is below 0 (farenheit, not centigrade), the wind howling and the snow pounding down.
Report Abuse
I have to agree with hoxa (who seems to be local and knows it best anyway).
It's not the cold in Stockholm, but the darkness that gets you.
Stockholm is on the 60th parallel. That is WAY up north from Philadelphia. It's actually the same latitude as the borders between the Northern territories of Canada and BC, AB, and so on.
Kiruna is even much further north. So you will get daylight just for 1-3 hours a day max if you go in Dec/Jan (as you can see in hoxa's charts)
As hoxa said, December in Stockholm can be rain and slush and not necessarily a solid romantic layer of white snow.
Add the lack of daylight and it is simply depressing.
Stockholm in late June/early July is a totally different city - full of life and endless hours of sunshine, people outdoors from morning till midnight, enjoying the waterfront, taking the boat to one of the thousands of islands, or making a boat trip to Gripsholm castle, and so on.

If you live in Scandinavia then the winters can be long and depressing but for a visit it can seem cosy. The temps this winter have been quite cold, even now it is about 12F/-11C with a cold week ahead but there is more light at this time of the year. If the temps rise to about 0C and the ice starts to melt, it doesn't go slushy, it just melts on the top of the thick ice layer which means it gets very slippery. There is still alot of snow and ice around, at least where we are (west of Stockholm).
I definitely agree Stockholm is a summer city but if you want to visit the Ice Hotel there isn't much choice but to travel in winter.

Stockholm has my idea of the perfect summer - 75 degrees, bright blue skies and fluffy white clouds - much better than the 95 an humid you find in NY.

Such great information from all of you ... Thank you! I think we are going to take on this winter-time adventure, so a few questions on Stockholm, if you don't mind ... 1) How many days would you recommend for exploring the city? 2) We prefer renting apartments over hotels. Would you recommend a particular neighborhood? I like the idea of staying in the Old Town ... would anyone recommend otherwise? 3) What would be on your must-do list if you had friends visiting for a short stay in Stockholm? 4) A strange question perhaps ... My 15-year-old daughter is a vegetarian. Are there a lot of non-meat options on most menus in Sweden? Thanks for all of your help.

Hi Barbara,
If you can find an apartment at a resonable price in the Old Town it is a great location to stay in. However, Stockholm is a quite compact city and public transport is excelent. Another good location to stay in is Södermalm, the large island just south of the old town. Vasastan (the area north of the city center) around Odenplan is another great choice. Östermalm (the area east of the city center) is a somewhat posh and quiet area and in my opinion a bit boring.
I would say that you can easily spend 5 full days in Stockholm without getting bored. More or less all restaurants have vegetarian options. The vegetarian menue is usually quite limited though. You should try this restaurant: http://www.hermans.se/ Web page is in Swedish but there is an "International Visitors" link in the left pane.
Link to official visitors guide to Stockholm: http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/
I am not very much into museums but I do find the Vasa museum excellent. Some of my favourite museums:
- The Vasa museum (http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/)
- Millesgården sculpture museum and park (http://www.millesgarden.se/?languageID=5)
- Artipelag art museum (http://www.artipelag.se/en) Shouldn't be missed!
- The City Hall (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://www.stockholm.se/OmStockholm/Stadshuset/Guidade-visningar/Oppettider/%3Foversatt%3D)
- The Hallwyl museum (http://hallwylskamuseet.se/en)
- Nordiska muset (http://www.nordiskamuseet.se/category.asp?cat=187&catname=English&topmenu=142)
Many visitors like Skansen open air museum,I don't.
Link: http://www.skansen.se/en/
Some people also like to visit royal palaces, I don't. If you are interested in royal palaces there are two of them in Stockholm. THE Royal Palace in the old town. The royal palace in Drottningholm where the royal family actually lives. Drottningholm royal palace can be reached by boat (however, I don't think boats are sailing in December/January) or a short metro ride and a bus.
On a sunny winter day, a tour of the archipelago will be an experience that shouldn't be missed. Link to Strömma tour operator: http://www.stromma.se/en/STOCKHOLM/

Does your daughter eat fish and seafood? If so then she will be very happy as fresh and smoked fish and seafood is sold in abundance in Sweden. Most restaurants and cafés will have at least one vegetarian dish on their menu. You will find the lunch menus to have the best value otherwise it is very expensive to dine out at the restaurant.
I've do all my hotel bookings using Booking dot com. I find the reviews there helpful and the room descriptions correct. I enjoy staying on Södermalm when visiting Stockholm and here are a few suggestions. Zinkensdamm Hotel/Hostel- Most of the hostel rooms are the same as the hotel room except for you make your bed. Each have a private wc and shower and cable tv in room. (budget); Hotel Hellstens malmgård (medium) or Clarion (business); The T-Bana is very easy and will get you to Gamla Stan in 10 minutes time. I have also stayed in Gamla Stan at one of the Rica hotels. It is more touristy but quaint there and with more 'action' in regards to things to do.
Have fun in Sweden!

Thank you, Hoxa and Finecheap! I am excited to start planning now! I'm much more accustomed to visiting Europe in the spring/early summer, so this will be really different. Guess I need to think a lot about clothes, shoes, outerwear for all of us ... Our winters have been getting so mild, my girls will often go out in light jackets, no boots necessary. Thanks again for such helpful information. Barbara

Wondering if this trip has happened yet? We are considering going for New Years, as we have family about 3hrs North of Stockholm. Thinking we would want to rent some type of 4 wheel drive vehicle, and maybe have a stop in Iceland. We used Iceland Air out of JFK, the last time went as they were the most reasonable airline.

FDR on the 150th Anniversary of Congress
I am now working away on the Bingham edits, so blogging will be light over the next few weeks. (In fact, I will soon post the Introduction of the book for all to see.)
In the meantime, I thought I would post an excerpt from a speech that FDR gave to Congress in 1939 to mark its 150th anniversary. Here the President gives a detailed account of the Bill of Rights. Kind of neat–I had not seen this until recently.
"[T]here came about [in 1788] that tacit understanding that to the Constitution would be added a Bill of Rights. Well and truly did the first Congress of the United States fulfill that first unwritten pledge; and the personal guarantees thus given to our individual citizens have established, we trust for all time, what has become as ingrained in our American natures as the free elective choice of our representatives itself.
In that Bill of Rights lies another vast chasm between our representative democracy and those reversions to personal rule which have characterized these recent years.
Jury trial: do the people of our own land ever stop to compare that blessed right of ours with some processes of trial and punishment which of late have reincarnated the so-called 'justice' of the dark ages?
The taking of private property without due compensation: would we willingly abandon our security against that in the face of the events of recent years?
The right to be safe against unwarrantable searches and seizures: read your newspapers and rejoice that our firesides and our households are still safe.
Freedom to assemble and petition the Congress for a redress of grievances: the mail and the telegraph bring daily proof to every Senator and every Representative that that right is at the height of an unrestrained popularity.
Freedom of speech: yes, that, too, is unchecked for never in our history has there been so much of it on every side of every subject. It is indeed a freedom, which, because of the mildness of our laws of libel and slander, goes unchecked except by the good sense of the American people. Any person is constitutionally entitled to criticize and call to account the highest and the lowest in the land–save in only one exception. For be it noted that the Constitution of the United States itself protects Senators and Representatives and provides that 'for any speech or debate in either House they shall not be questioned in any other place.' And that immunity is most carefully not extended to either the Chief Justice of the United States or the President.
Freedom of the press: I take it that no sensible man or woman believes that it has been curtailed or threatened or that it should be. The influence of the printed word will always depend on its veracity; and the nation can safely rely on the wise discrimination of a reading public which with the increase in the general education is well able to sort truth from fiction. Representative democracy will never tolerate suppression of true news at the behest of government.
Freedom of religion: that essential of the rights of mankind everywhere goes back also to the origins of representative government. Where democracy is snuffed out, where it is curtailed, there, too, the right to worship God in one's way is circumscribed or abrogated. Shall we by our passiveness, by our silence, by assuming the attitude of the Levite who pulled his skirts together and passed by on the other side, lend encouragement to those who today persecute religion or deny it?
The answer to that is 'no' today, just as in the days of the first Congress of the United States it was 'no.'

Although I've been exploring NYC for almost 3 months, I still feel as though I've barely scratched the surface of everything it has to offer. Brooklyn, for example, always leaves me lost within its never-ending side streets, independent boutiques, and coffee houses, so that I forever feel as though I've missed something. I have a very small 5 weeks remaining in NYC, and my aim is to finally feel as though I know the city like the back of my hand - although something tells me it's a slightly unrealistic goal.
On a side note, this pink coat has been my constant companion now that the weather is beginning to heat up. It has just the right amount of warmth to throw over a cami, and it's cotton-candy hue always instantly brightens my mood. Serving a similar purpose, the snowflake necklace I'm wearing was a leaving gift from my group of girlfriends back in Sydney, and hasn't left my person since receiving it. It always helps serve as a reminder of home whenever the USA begins to seem slightly overwhelming!
Wearing: coat, camisole, jeans and boots all from Zara (it appears somebody needs to forcefully ban me from entering Zara from now on).

Re: -e file test won't follow symlinks?by sedusedan (Monk)

|Need Help??
-e follows symlinks, because it does a stat(), not an lstat(). If the symlink target does not exist or is inaccessible, -e will report false even though the symlink itself exists.
If that is not what you want, you might want to try file_exists() in SHARYANTO::File::Util. Or you can implement the logic itself, by using -l instead of -e.

My dad and my friend were out fishing at my cottage for pike in McGregor Bay, Ontario, Canada on May 17th,2010. When they came back from fishing my friend was jumping with excitement. He had rarely gone fishing and so really catching any fish is a big deal for him. He called a couple of my friends and myself down to the dock and pulled out this gar. We were all shocked at the size of the fish he had caught. It measured at 45" long. My dad has been fishing up there for 20 years now and this is the first gar he has ever seen caught. The gar up there seem to be an impossible fish to catch! Who would've thought that the most inexperienced of fisherman would catch the seemingly hardest fish to catch?

FOREST Lake has been dubbed Brisbane's noisiest suburb with data showing the area receives more noise complaints than anywhere else in the state's capital.
Out of the 8049 noise complaints reported to Brisbane City Council in the 2012-13 financial year, the southside suburb received the most with 142 while Brisbane's nightlife hub Fortitude Valley received 136. Close behind on the list were Inala, 139; Coorparoo, 138; and Kedron, 123.
Forest Lake resident Diane Davis, 27, said she was surprised to hear her suburb was the noisiest.
"I've had issues sometimes with dog noise around the place but I've never thought it was worse than anywhere else," she said.
"I have heard the suburb has one of the state's highest percentage of dog owners so that could be something that contributes."
Ms Davis said distance between houses may also be a source behind complaints.
"If you have noisy neighbours it can be really bad because it's impossible not to hear them," she said.
Forest Lake Community House manager Jack Dunning said dogs and traffic may be behind the problem.
"Every person seems to have a dog these days and every morning people take them walking past," he said. "But when everyone goes to work they're left alone and bark all day. Traffic along busy areas like the boulevard might also be part of it but that always dies down by 10pm each day."
Crestmead and Pallara were the quietest suburbs with just one noise complaint each. People living in Eagle Farm, despite living near a racetrack, also had little to complain about with only two complaints lodged in the area.

Federal authorities have dropped their investigation into sexual abuse allegations involving former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine. The decision comes nearly one year after two former team ballboys accused Fine of molesting them when they were teenagers.
U.S. Attorney Richard Hartunian said Friday there was insufficient evidence to support a claim that Fine molested a boy in a Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002, the Associated Press reports.
"The nature and seriousness of these allegations, which involved conduct typically committed in private with individuals who are reluctant to come forward, warranted a thorough federal investigation," Hartunian said.
Syracuse fired Fine on Nov. 27 in the wake of the accusations, which came shortly after the scandal involving convicted child abuser and former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky broke last fall.
Former Syracuse ballboys Bobby Davis and Michael Lang, his step-brother, came forward with the accusations against Fine on last Nov. 17. Those claims were beyond the statute of limitations, but 10 days later when 23-year-old Zachary Tomaselli, of Lewiston, Maine, accused Fine of molesting him in 2002, authorities began their probe. On the same day, ESPN's "Outside the Lines" aired an audio recording in which Fine's wife, Laurie, acknowledges that she was aware of the abuse he alleged. Laurie Fine has since filled a defamation lawsuit against ESPN.
Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim strongly defended Fine when the initial claims surfaced and suggested that Davis and Lang were seeking to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the Sandusky scandal to obtain money. Boeheim later apologized for his remarks and commended the university for investigating the claims.
In late November, a fourth man, 56-year-old Floyd VanHooser, told the Syracuse Post-Standard that Fine has pressured him and paid him for oral sex during a 40-year period in which VanHooser lived with Fine on and off. VanHooser later admitted that "none of what I said was true" in a letter to Fine also received by the Post-Standard.
Last April, Tomasselli, who is serving a three-year prison sentence in Maine for sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy at a summer camp, recanted in a series of e-mails to CNYCentral.com, saying he had fabricated his allegations, that he had never met Fine and that "it was a game to me." Later, Tomasselli changed his story again and said Fine had in fact molested him.
"The damage inflicted upon Bernie and his family is simply immeasurable," Fine's lawyers, Karl Sleight, Donald Martin and David Botsford said in a statement Friday (via the Associated Press). "Bernie hopes and prays that the lesson learned and remembered is that a rush to judgment has irreversible consequences."

Here I Am
- Artist: Mersaidee Soules

- Release Date: 7/3/2007
|your cart is empty
Mersaidee worked with Producer/Friend Lara Bratlein on this Christmas Collection. ' I wanted to blend traditional Holiday songs with a fun Bluegrass /Country feel'. There is alot of Dobro, Slide and Fiddle which are some of my favorite instruments. Once the songs were picked (with the help of several Christmas song loving friends) I woke up one morning and thought, 'I should ask my aunt to sing with me.' I knew it was a dream of her's and I wanted her dream to come true. Not even one week later I woke up and thought 'I should also ask my Dad'. My Dad has lived in our small town for so long and any Christmas we were at the house we'd wake up to Elvis and him singing for the lead. I definitly got my voice from him and grannie and he was thrilled to sing with me. I flew him to Nashville (his first flight) and it was the first time we really got to spend time together, just the two of us. It was awsome... Lara and I got together a month before we cut tracks and co-wrote two originals. 'Here I Am and Salvation Army'. Both songs represent the most important Christmas memories I've had. Salvation Army in particular was a magical Christmas memory. Someone (we still don't know who) called the Salvation Army and requested for my family to receive food and gifts. My mom was raising three girls on her own, with three part time jobs. We had next to nothing and out of nowhere this truck pulled up and handed us a big box of food and toys. Us girls were estatic. I'd never had so many toys.... We had a great Christmas dinner and my mom say's that God answered her silent prayer. I am an Angel Tree participant in Nashville and will always be. I know first hand what the Army does for families and it's the best organization in my book. They gave us a miracle Christmas....And whoever you are out there who called the Army on behalf on my family that year....Thank You and God Bless You...Happy Holidays to you and your family all year through!!!A % of the sales of each CD will go to the Angel Tree Program...

Buggy mission on Reandor (?)
Hi there,
I've installed the official patch 1.1 and Wasps 1.7 patch (and Cutscenes & Russion sound files).
Until now I had now problem with any quests. I'm Level 19 now and this game works perfectly!! I'ts just really neat :-)
But now on Reandor - I've sided with the Free Traders - I came across this dude called "Grayson". He is in the bar in the southern most Free Traders outpost.
Anyway, he gives you three missions.
The one that's broken is "Plunder the convoy with provisions". After I get back to him I can finish the mission without a problem, but the pretty heavy crate remains in the inventory as a mission item; meaning it's undroppable.
So, is there either a way to:
- increase the inventory capacity to 80kg?
- force-remove the item
- fix the quest^^
Hope for some positive responses :D
I remember having this same problem. There were 3 duffel bag-type things of provisions. Also, the commander of the convoy had the aforementioned heavy crate. The quest giver will only take one duffel bag to complete the quest (leaving potentially 2 duffel bags and that crate in inventory) . I don't even know what purpose the crate serves.
Okay, then I need the exact name of the crate to remove it!
2 Attachment(s)
Hi Wesp5, thanks for your fast response and your continued dedication!
gozioso is right: there are 2 duffel bags of "food" and one crate with "provisions"; unfortunately when completing the quest only 1 duffel bag gets removed (but as the weight is no problem, I don't care about the second one :D)
Here is hopefully what you need:
Box with provisions (Crate)
Food (duffel bag)I keep my fingers crossed :P
Fixed! I made it so that the heavy crate is removed and the light bags can be dropped.
Sweet! So, will this be in the next "big" unofficial patch or may I ask for a quick fix? :-)
It could be in a quick fix if I can persuade The Patches Scrolls to release one.
That would be absolutely awesome!
Currently I'm waiting to get back to this excellent game :-)

By the time of the Lunar Landing, Donald Byrd had departed from the out of vogue Bebop and plugged in. Bringing in an electric piano on 1969's Fancy Free, Donald was headed in a clear direction towards the Electric Jazz of the '70s. Along the way, Byrd closed the '60s with songs that diggers dug, in crafting a certain dusty quality for The Pharcyde (see below), Lords Of The Underground, and The Beatnuts.
Ten years removed from A New Perspective, Donald Byrd delivered Blue Note a hit in Black Byrd. The album was the trumpeter's first union with writer/producer Larry Mizell and his horn-playing vocalist brother Fonce. The album was rooted in a spacey Funk that gave the Jazz imprint release a crossover appeal. The effects of opener "Flight Time" would later become part of the basis for the opening to Nas and DJ Premier's "NY State Of Mind," and subsequent sequels.
Immediately following the success of the '73 release The Mizell Brothers and Byrd created The Blackbyrds, a group taking its name from the album. Byrd recruited students from his then-post at Howard University to join the side-project, off of Blue Note, and at the San Francisco-based Fantasy imprint. The group's sophomore album, the Top 30-Flying Start featured the mainstream hit "Walkin' In Rhythm," while its 1975 follow-up included seminal Hip-Hop foundation staple, "Rock Creek Park." That same year, Byrd furthered his Blue Note solo recordings, with #1 Billboard Jazz album, Places and Spaces. The LP included "Wind Parade," the basis of Black Moon's "Buck 'Em Down," and the regularly-recycled hard bassline in "(Fallin' Like) Dominoes."

When the 49ers announced that they were replacing veteran color commentator Gary Plummer little was said about why.
The team announced 10 days ago that former 49ers' cornerback Eric Davis would team up with Ted Robinson.
49ers' officials said nothing more than a thank you to Plummer for his 13 years of service in the booth. Some suspected he was canned for being too critical of the team, while the 49ers hinted that the fact Davis lives locally and Plummer does not played a role.
Tuesday Deadspin added a theory of its own when the gossip site released an audio interview Plummer did after the Super Bowl with KSJO 92.3-FM.
In the interview Plummer explicitly talks about his sexual exploits, how team officials used to help players hook up with women and the many sexual tricks he taught his brother.
Wednesday Plummer confirmed to the San Jose Mercury News that the interview played a role in his firings but he said his often critical views of a 6-10 was the ultimate reason he was fired.
"It was a convenient excuse to get rid of somebody who told the truth," Plummer told Dan Brown of the Merc.
The team has denied that Plummer was fired for being too critical.
The time line of the interview with when Davis says the 49ers began to talk to him about moving into the radio booth seem to correlate.
Davis said in a recent interview on KNBR that the team began talking to him about becoming the full time radio color commentator shortly after the Super Bowl.
The 49ers only issued a statement to several media sources when asked about the Deadspin article.
You can listen to the full interview, in its graphic entirety on Deadspin's website.

|Bora-Care is a borate-based termiticide that is applied directly to the structure during new construction. The active ingredient in the product is boron, a natural mineral salt which does not break down over time, providing a green and sustainable treatment and reducing the need for soil termiticides.
Wayne's Environmental Services team members who participated in the milestone treatment included (back row, left to right) Steven Splawn, president; Tim Kendrick, termite technician leader; Nick Justice, supervisor; and Rusty Fields, service center leader. Also in attendance were (front row, left to right) Eric Frye, business development leader; Justin Brown, service center leader; and Garrett Wilkey, technical services leader.
|Wayne's Environmental Services President Steven Splawn (left) and Business Development Leader Eric Frye (right) accept a plaque from Nisus Vice-President of Sales Harry Bryan (center) acknowledging the milestone.
|The one millionth home treated with Bora-Care is located in Leeds, Ala. The home was treated by Wayne's Environmental Services.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Nisus Corporation and Wayne's Environmental Services, Birmingham, Ala., recently joined forces to achieve a significant milestone – the 1,000,000th home treated with Bora-Care, a borate-based termiticide applied directly to wood. Specifically listed by the International Building Codes as a suitable alternative to soil treatments, Bora-Care features a patented glycol formula that penetrates deep into wood, providing long-lasting protection.
"It's quite a milestone and a reminder of how green technology can improve the environment and improve the bottom lines of many companies at the same time," says Kevin L. Kirkland, president and CEO of Nisus Corporation, Knoxville, Tenn.
Builders across the country have adopted Bora-Care treatments because they speed up the building process, in some cases saving as much as a day of cycle time, according to Nisus. Large builders track the amount of time it takes to build a house from start to finish, and that is referred to as "cycle time."
"This type of treatment has become a best practice for large homebuilders," says Harry Bryan, vice-president of sales for Nisus Corporation. "These builders want to use products that have proven performance, are cost-effective and sensitive to the environment. They are best in class."
"When people think of building green, the first thing that comes to mind is energy savings," says Eric Frye, business development leader at Wayne's, "but today's green programs take into account everything from controlling water run-off to maintaining indoor air quality. Plus, builders can earn green points for using these types of green termite treatments."
"Wayne's was one of the companies who saw the big picture and began switching builders right away," says Bryan. "Now they are doing more treatments than most of their competitors in the Southeast."
"We found that builders were very receptive to the cycle time savings and the green aspects of the product," explains Frye. "Our company has been a big proponent of Green Pest Management® practices."
The one-millionth home treated with Bora-Care is located in Leeds, Ala., about 20 miles from Birmingham. The treatment of the home and a demonstration of the technology took place on March10, with representatives from Nisus and Wayne's Environmental Services on hand to answer any questions from the media and the public.
Nisus Corporation is the originator of Green Pest Management and manufactures pest management products used by professional pest companies across the United States as well as other parts of the world. Founded in 1990, Nisus Corporation is a privately held business producing a full line of pest management products, including wood protection, insect baits and odor control at its manufacturing facility in Rockford, Tenn.
Wayne's Environmental Services is an Alabama-based home services company focused on termite protection, pest prevention and lawn care services.

Positively Weighted Portfolios on the Minimum‐Variance Frontier
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): RICHARD C. GREEN
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 1051-1068
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1986.tb02530.x
Duality theory is employed to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for portfolios on the minimum‐variance frontier to have positive investment proportions in all assets. These conditions involve the feasibility of portfolios that have non‐negative correlation with all assets and positive correlation with at least one. Using these results, several "qualitative" results concerning the signs of investment proportions in efficient portfolios are proved. It is argued that the conditions that ensure all‐positive weights in efficient portfolios are intuitively compelling and are not unique to the CAPM. With large numbers of assets, however, the signs of weights in minimum‐variance portfolios can be very sensitive to slight departures from these conditions due to, for example, sampling error.

Thanksgiving travelers rush for early getaways
U.S. travelers will be pushing to get an early start on the long Thanksgiving weekend, according to a new report.
By the end of Tuesday, about a third of all travelers will have left for their weekend destinations, said the IHS Global Insight/AAA Thanksgiving 2012 Forecast. By the end of Wednesday, the biggest getaway day, more than three-quarters will have hit the road.
Those coming to the New York area may have a tougher trip than those leaving for the weekend. According to Robert Sinclair Jr., a spokesman for the AAA, rental cars may be hard to find in and around New York, a problem related to Hurricane Sandy.
"Travelers to our area will be facing a problem getting a rental car," Sinclair said. "Because of the vehicles destroyed by Sandy, there's been a run on rental cars."
Sinclair said rental car rates in New York are now 95 percent higher than in 2011, reaching $350-$400 a week.
Almost 90 percent of U.S. travelers -- 39.1 million -- will be going by car this Thanksgiving, the report said, as the number of fliers is projected to drop from 7.4 percent of travelers in 2011 to 7.2 percent, or 3.1 million. Buses, trains, watercraft and other travel account for the remaining 2.9 percent.
The decrease in air travel will cause a steep decline in the average distance logged by vacationers, from 706 miles in 2011 to 588 miles in 2012, according to the study's projections.
That trend also holds true in the Middle Atlantic region -- New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania -- with a 2 percent decline in pricier air travel.
"Folks are desiring to economize," Sinclair said.
The AAA report draws parallels between the willingness of Americans to splurge on a holiday and a region's economic growth.
"Consumers remain cautious in terms of their spending decisions, but consumer sentiment is improving, as evidenced by the pickup in vehicle and housing sales," the report said.
Holiday drivers also are keeping a wary eye on gasoline prices.
In White Plains, the lowest price for a gallon of regular Monday night was $3.93, according to gasbuddy.com, while the average for New York City was $4. In Stony Point, the lowest price for regular was $3.93.
In the Hudson Valley, at least a chunk of those road travelers will be on Interstate 87. Though the The New York State Thruway doesn't issue forecasts, in 2011 3.1 million vehicles traveled an estimated 110.1 million miles on the toll road, the agency said.
For Hudson Valley residents who ride the rails, Metro-North is running special getaway trains from Grand Central Terminal on Wednesday starting at 1 p.m. The railroad will run a holiday schedule on Thanksgiving Day -- one of the busiest travel days of the year -- with extra morning inbound and outbound trains. Straphangers must have a train ticket before boarding at Grand Central or Harlem-125th Street Station on Thanksgiving, officials said.
On Friday, Metro-North will operate a Saturday schedule, with extra service in the morning and afternoon. The Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines will run extra shoppers' special trains on Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 29.
For rail riders traveling longer distances, Amtrak said in a statement that it would be using "every available passenger rail car in its fleet" for the holiday season. The railroad warned that tickets are likely to sell out on Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Saturday and Sunday following.
Among the region's biggest attractions will be the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which draws more than 3 million people to Manhattan, according to organizers. The 2012 edition will introduce a smartphone app that lets viewers virtually turn themselves into an elf balloon floating above the parade, which kicks off at 9 a.m. Thursday.
Among the balloons making their debut this year: Hello, Kitty! and Elf on the Shelf.
In years past, thousands have enjoyed seeing the balloons come to life as they are inflated the evening before the parade at 77th Street and Columbus Avenue in Manhattan.

A Tokyo-Seoul Thaw?
Japan and South Korea's foreign ministers met Monday on the sidelines of a regional security forum in Brunei, a sign of a thaw in frosty relations.
It was the first time that chief diplomats of the two governments have met since last September – and since Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in December and South Korean President Park Geun-Hye was inaugurated in February.
South Korean foreign minister Yun Byung-se had planned a trip to Tokyo in April, but cancelled at the last minute after several high-ranking officials in Mr. Abe's administration visited the Yasukuni shrine, where the enshrined war dead include convicted war criminals.
Japan's NHK national broadcaster prominently showed footage of a smiling Mr. Yun shaking hands with his Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida in its evening newscast.
During the meeting, Mr. Yun stressed the importance of facing up to history, to which Mr. Kishida explained that the Abe cabinet's position on historical issues is the same as previous administrations. Mr. Yun responded that the two sides should continue to communicate and build trust, Masaru Sato, spokesman for the Japanese Foreign Ministry, told The Wall Street Journal.

After several years as a direct marketer of academic psychoanalytic titles, Other Press has hired several former Random House executives who are transforming a successful but limited press into a state-of-the-art small publisher serving the professional, academic and general trade marketplace.
Other Press was founded in 1999 by Michael Moskowitz and Judith Gurewich, both academics and psychoanalysts, to publish texts aimed at the field. The two acquired Karnac Books, a U.K.—based publisher, and a London bookstore affiliated with it. In time, there was also an Other Press bookstore in Manhattan and a retail Web site specializing in psychoanalytic titles. By 2001, the press reported annual sales of about $3 million, just about all of it through direct sales.
But last year, Gurewich, a Lacanian psychoanalyst and professor at Harvard, bought out her partner's stake and set about expanding OP's publishing program into broader professional areas as well as to the general trade. "We want to reach out to the general reader," said Gurewich, "and bring the lessons of psychoanalysis to the public without the boring academic language." She also wants to expand OP's direct marketing to psychiatric professionals OP has neglected. "We are known among analysts," Gurewich explained, "but not as well among therapists, educators, social workers or psychiatrists."
Without necessarily planning to, Gurewich took advantage of last year's Random House staff cutbacks. She hired several former Random House executives, who have been able to take what they learned at the world's biggest publisher and scale down this expertise to suit the needs of a small but growing press.
Her first hire was Ellen Vanook, a 25-year veteran of Random House adult and children's programs, who has a background in operations, manufacturing, production, distribution and warehousing. Originally hired as a consultant, Vanook's responsibilities kept expanding until she was eventually offered the job of CEO. "The press didn't have the infrastructure to grow," said Vanook. "We needed to change all the software, the editorial process, job descriptions—everything." Vanook persuaded Bill Foo, another downsized Random House executive, to take on the job of CFO. "We've reengineered this company," said Foo, who projects 20% sales growth in 2003 and "double-digit growth for the next three or four years."
The house shut down the bookstore and the retail Web site, said Vanook, "to focus on our core business, publishing." The house is now developing a new Web site, OtherBooks.com, as an online resource for OP books and a retail site.
Other Press now publishes about 35 to 40 books a year. It has about 20 employees, including six new executive hires. The press has expanded its Manhattan office space from 1,100 to about 2,000 square feet.
Now, said Vanook, "we can publish midlist fiction and give it the editorial attention it deserves. And we don't need to sell 250,000 copies to make a profit." Before Vanook's arrival, Gurewich had brought Harry Thomas on board to head Handsel Books, a new imprint devoted to poetry, fiction and essays. Vanook emphasized that Other Press is also developing its relationship with agents in order to build its trade list, and Gurewich credits her many contacts with foreign publishers for bringing in a number of works in English translation.
These days, Other Press's list offers current events, history, translated works and fiction, alongside Freud and Lacan. The house now offers a professional catalogue with its 400-title backlist as well as a trade catalogue with new titles. There's new fiction, including San Remo Drive, a novel by Leslie Epstein; OP is also reprinting his classic novel, King of the Jews.
The house has published Breaking Ranks by Ronit Chacham, about Israeli soldiers who refuse to serve in the West Bank and Gaza, and the house has big plans for Shattered Dreams by Charles Enderline, a detailed account of the Camp David accords that, Gurewich said, "reads like a mystery novel."
She told PW that Other Press has expanded greatly from its core of "educated professionals" in the varied psychology fields. "We are now covering many more bases and emphasizing the diverse interests of our audience and what they like to read. They crave intellectual pursuits, knowledge, books where they are entertained as their intellect is stimulated. We believe the future lies in rousing this type of reader."

Second City comedians have a message for Mayor Rahm Emanuel about Chicago's potholes—"Thank you."
In a recent YouTube video on the city's ever-prominent pothole problems, the comedians act as employees of the car service and tire company Pep Boys, thanking Emanuel for his efforts in keeping potholes on the streets of Chicago.
"We here at Pep Boys know Mayor Rahm Emanuel is doing everything in his power to keep potholes on every residential and commercial street across the city of Chicago," Lily Sullivan, acting as a Pep Boys employee, says in the skit.
The skit claims "Emanuel knows that potholes create commerce" and excitedly references a spike in the number of pothole complaints, new tires sold, and cars needing tire services.
As of last week, roughly 2,000 pothole damage-to-vehicle claims had been filed with the city clerk's office, the most the office has seen. Last year there were a total of 743 such claims.
"[Potholes are] the Donald Trump of cement," Andrew Knox says in the skit. "You're hired."
Chicago's brutal, record-setting winter left streets riddled with potholes. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said last month he plans to expand the summer street paving program to resurface a total of 333 miles of arterial and neighborhood streets and alleys in 2014.
The Second City skit isn't the first comedic take on the city's pothole problems.
Earlier this year, a local photographer and filmmaker made a horror-movie starring the city's scariest potholes.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) _ Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy has a strained muscle on his right side and is day-to-day after receiving a cortisone shot in New York.
Murphy was back in camp Wednesday morning and said he didn't have a timetable for his return to regular workouts. He planned only a bike workout Wednesday.
The Mets had a series of similar injuries last spring training, with David Wright and Scott Hairston missing a large chunk of time. But Murphy says he isn't concerned about how long he could be out.
He says: "The only thing I'm trying to think right now is I'd rather miss spring training time than miss time in the season."

CardiOx has developed a new system for diagnosing the existence and magnitude of a PFO in a patient. PFO is the small opening in the wall of the heart that separates the two upper chambers, more commonly known as a "hole in your heart". Approximately 20% of the adult population has this condition. CardiOx's method of detecting the PFO is believed to be superior and unique to the current standard, as it is easier to perform, less expensive, more accurate and can be performed by a trained technician.
The Company was incorporated in 2006 and over the next three years developed its proprietary noninvasive method and system for detecting a right-to-left shunt, completing its development in mid-2009. The Company validated its technology by conducting pre-clinical animal studies and completed a first in-man clinical trial in January 2010, along with a clinical trial at Columbia University Medical Center in March 2010. Subsequent pivotal clinical trials are scheduled for the Riverside Methodist Hospital, UCLA Medical Center, and a third yet to be determined site.
The Company was founded by Philip Eggers, who has over 37 years of medical industry experience. He is the founder of 5 medical device companies. Larry Heaton is the President and CEO, and adds 28 years' experience with medical device businesses, including a role as President and COO of $2.1 billion US Surgical/Tyco.

Williams High School students will prepare your taxes for free.
Starting Wednesday, 30 Williams business and finance students certified to participate in the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program will be available to help qualifying taxpayers prepare their returns.
Mary Margaret Harris, business and finance teacher at Williams, and a team of Accounting II, Accounting II Honors and Academy of Finance students have scheduled sessions in February and March to offer free tax preparation sessions.
VITA offers free tax help to people who make $52,000 or less.
IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. Volunteers can tell taxpayers about special tax credits they may qualify for, such as the earned income tax credit, child tax credit and credit for the elderly or the disabled.
While these are high school students, they have gone through the same certification process as all other VITA volunteers across the country, according to Harris, and she or another adult supervisor will review all the returns before they are filed.
Williams is one of 75 high schools participating in the VITA program.
No appointment is necessary. All sessions will be held in Room 227 at Williams High School. Call 570-6161 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with questions. Spanish translation will be available.
Wednesday sessions, 4 to 7 p.m.
▪ Feb. 12
▪ Feb. 19
▪ Feb. 26
▪ Every Wednesday in March.
Saturday sessions, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
▪ March 8
▪ March 22.
To have a tax return prepared at a VITA site, you need to bring:
▪ Photo identification;
▪ Social Security cards for you, your spouse and dependents, or a Social Security number verification letter issued by the Social Security Administration, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number assignment letter for you, your spouse and dependents;
▪ Proof of foreign status if applying for an ITIN;
▪ Birth dates for you, your spouse and dependents on the tax return;
▪ Wage and earning statements, forms W-2, W-2G, 1099-R and 1099-Misc, from all employers;
▪ Interest and dividend statements from banks (forms 1099);
▪ Copies of last years federal and state returns if available;
▪ Proof of bank account routing numbers and account numbers for direct deposit, such as a blank check;
▪ Total paid to daycare providers and providers tax identifying numbers (Social Security numbers or business Employer Identification Numbers), if appropriate; also:
▪ To file taxes electronically on a married-filing-jointly tax return, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.
Each person must use his or her correct Social Security number. The most accurate information is usually located on the original Social Security card. If you do not have an SSN for yourself or a dependent, complete form SS-5, Social Security Number Application. This form should be submitted to the nearest Social Security Administration Office.

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama said Saturday that Americans remain united and committed to liberty nine years after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Speaking at a ceremony making the anniversary of the airliner crash into the Pentagon, Obama called al Qaida "a sorry band of men that perverts religion" and said any aims they had of triggering a war against all of Islam would fail.
Obama spoke against a backdrop of new controversy over a proposed Muslim cultural center and a mosque near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. Critics say establishing a Muslim presence near the site of an attack carried out by Muslim extremists is an insult and provocation.
"Just as we condemn intolerance and extremism abroad, so will we stay true to our traditions here at home as a diverse and tolerant nation," Obama said at the event, which was attended by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and a large number of military personnel.
The president also called maintaining tolerance and freedom in the United States a lasting tribute to those killed. "This is how we will keep alive the legacy of these proud and patriotic Americans," he said. "This is how we will prevail in this great test of our time."

For members of the Armed Forces, it is a difficult time of year as many of them are on deployment and unable to spend Christmas with their children.
The crew of HMS Richmond, who are currently patrolling the cold seas of the South Atlantic searching for drug smugglers and pirates, will be thousands of miles away from their families.
But this has not stopped the men and women on board from delivering a bed time story for their children as partrol around the snow covered island of South Georgia and the Falklands.
I would like to think their reading of the poem The Night Before Christmas will also help other children whose parents are absent to get to sleep on Christmas Eve.

Handcrafted Memory Box and Guardian Angel Bear *pic heavy
I'm so happy, my FIL made me a memory box for our angel. I asked him about it right after everything happened, and he finally finished it. It's exactly how i wanted it and fits all of her things with room to keep adding.
For Easter I also made her an angel bear. I made my daughter one a few weeks ago, but knew that I definitely wanted to make Elizabeth one to sit on top of the box like a loving guardian. I've been slaving away at this for two weeks, crocheting to the point of callouses on my fingers to get it done for Easter, but it's missing it's legs. Luckily everything else is done and it looks a lot like I envisioned it. It's complete with a cross on the chest, angel wing earrings, a large wing on a glittering piece of white tulle that holds the bouquet together, a blue and a pink butterfly, fuzzy white glittering wings, and a purple bow.
And a picture of her Easter basket, as our Easter set up looked empty without one for her. It has a Forget Me Not willow tree figurine inside that I just bought and flower seeds to plant in her memory garden.
Babywearing, co-sleeping, exclusively breastfeeding, AP, natural birthing, happily married SAH Mommy to Katherine Isabelle, and mommy to our Angel baby, Elizabeth Rose.
aw everything is so beautiful and such sweet items.. The ebear is so wonderful! All of yur hard work and love shows :)
So so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!
So beautiful!!! And you are so crafty. The bear with the wings is perfect for an angel. Hugs, so impressed
The memory box is gorgeous! And the bear is absolutely beautiful! You did an amazing job! And I like what you got her for Easter :)

If you want to be an above average gamer in Madden 25, you will need an arsenal of effective money plays. Everyone will have money plays on some level this year unless you are completely new to the Madden NFL series.
For those of you who don't know, a money play is simply a play that you are confident can work over and over again in important situations. While we generally recommend mixing your money plays into schemes, we understand that there is a reason for money plays to exist and that many people rely on them.
Having a few money plays will make you slightly better in Madden NFL 25 but the very best gamers will have money plays mixed into schemes. They also have great stick skills as well as a goof understanding of what plays to call in certain situations. The point is that money plays can only get you so far. The temptation is always there to load up on money plays and nano blitzes and not to pay attention to anything else.
We will post a few money plays for Madden 25 on this page when the game drops but please resist the temptation to learn 10 money plays and nothing else. It may pay off in the short term, but over time you will see the losses start to pile up.

Narita via NEX.>> SHINGAWA>>Kyoto on Hikari
Need just a little advice on some of the logistics of this journey. We will be in Narita for one night to catch up on our sleep. In the next morning we are going to take the hotel sguttle to the Narita airport. Get on the NEX to Shingawa. Then we plan on taking the Hikari Shinkasen to Kyoto. I have the JR PASS.
My question is, when do I make the reservation for our Green Car and how do I schedule the trip. NEX to the Hikari Shinkansen. Should I give myself 30 mins between our NEX arrival in Shingawa and the Hikari departure to Kyoto.
Should I make my reservations the night before when I originally arrive at Narita? Do we make the reservations at a JR Pass counter
Hi there,
You can make reservations the moment that you exchange the JR Pass, once you do so you can make any reservation you want. If you reserve the tickets in advance, then 10-15min at Shinagawa should be plenty to make the transfer. I recommend doing so at Narita Airport.
Once you have the reservation it will be smooth sailing from there.
Hope this helps,

7-Day Urban Meditation Retreat
with Acharya Suzann Duquette
Online registration is now closed. Please register upon arrival.
A weeklong meditation retreat in New York City?
Most people think of going on retreat as a chance to get away; staying at a remote retreat center surrounded by nature. But what happens once the retreat is over and you have to return to your normal routine in a busy, crowded city? It can feel as if all the peace, clarity and connection cultivated during retreat evaporates as soon as you jump back into city life.
With this in mind, the Shambhala Meditation Center of New York is happy to once again offer one of our of most popular and anticipated programs — The 7-Day Urban Meditation Retreat.
By participating in deep practice in our home city we are better able to incorporate the rich rewards of retreat into our daily lives and see the magic in our usual surroundings; allowing the benefits of retreat practice to stay with us long after the retreat is over.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, senior teacher Acharya Suzann Duquette will gently guide retreatants through a week of group practice designed to support and sharpen our everyday mindfulness and awareness in a safe space where we can settle our busy minds and begin to make friends with ourselves.
Open to all levels of practitioners, anyone may attend the whole week or join the retreat for a day or two.
This program includes approximately 8 hours of daily silent meditation. People of all faiths and traditions are warmly invited, but please note the practice days will begin and end with a few traditional chants.
Approximate Daily Schedule:
9:00 - 11:45am Morning Practice Session
11:45 - 12:00pm Break (with optional restorative yoga)
12:00 - 12:45pm Contemplative Lunch
12:45 - 2:00pm Rest & Work Period
2:00 - 4:00pm Afternoon Practice Session I
4:00 - 4:30pm Tea Break
4:30 - 6:00pm Afternoon Practice Session II, Talk from Acharya Duquette
6:00 - 7:00pm Contemplative Dinner
7:00 - 8:30pm Evening Practice Session
Here are comments from some of last year's participants:
"This was one of the best things I have done for myself. Really deepened my meditation practice."
"Thank you for this week, it has changed my life."
"This week has been profoundly illuminating on multiple levels. There simply isn't enough space here to describe."
"This is my third year doing the retreat!"
"So glad I did this! I'm only beginning to realize the true value of this week to my practice and life, and I know it's effects will continue to unfold long after the last day."
"So grateful to be here again and thanks to all the teachers. Wonderful presence and feeling cheerful."
"The kindness, wisdom and generosity of the Acharya [head teacher], the Meditation Instructors and Staff was/is astounding. Truly."
"I'm not Buddhist but so glad I did it. Got so much out of it."
"Been looking for something like this for forever..."
Acharya Duquette teaches widely, and has led numerous month-long and week-long retreats. In all her teaching, Acharya Duquette respects the power of embodiment in bringing conceptual learning into daily living, and emphasizes body awareness and disciplines.
She is a Qigong instructor in the lineage of Dr. Eva Wong, a Lujong instructor in the lineage of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, Rinpoche, and a Mudra Space Awareness teacher in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche.

An accidental death insurance policy will pay out an agreed lump sum of money if the policy holder dies within a certain period of time after an accident.
Accidental death insurance is a limited type of life insurance policy.
Many life insurers offer free accidental death benefit to customers whilst they process their application for life insurance.
Accidental death insurance will usually cover road traffic accidents, fatal accidents at home, work or on holiday, a range of dangerous occupations, dangerous hobbies and worldwide travel. To be eligible for a policy you will usually have to be between the ages of 18 and 80, and no medical is required on application. Cover may differ between accidental death insurance quotes.
Unlike life insurance, an accidental death insurance policy will not cover death from natural causes. Most policies will also exclude cover for:
Although accidental death benefit can be cheaper than life insurance, the cover it offers is limited in comparison.
If you want peace of mind, life insurance might be a wiser choice of policy. It will cover accidental death as well as offering many other benefits. Compare life insurance quotes from the leading UK insurers online now for more information.
Life Insurance Quotes from only £5 per month!
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.
Very polite and friendly, and gave detailed explanations of all aspects of the cover. Reassuring to know that if you do have a problem there is someone you can contact.
Friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble even when i needed to make a small change, excellent service.
The advisor was incredibly helpful and fully explained the differences between the policies. I really liked the fact that I was put under no pressure.
I was pleasantly surprised with the in-depth knowledge, the efficiency and the nice and polite manner of the staff - the explanations were made very clearly.

Sonny Bono's widow, six-term California congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, wants you to know that sometimes she lets loose after a hard day on the Hill by allowing people to photograph her 'close personal friend' licking her breast.
But it's not just any friend; however. It's a hard partying, bankrupt billionaire and used to be a major donator to both the GOP and Mary Bono Mack's Republican congressional campaigns.
Yes, Mary Bono Mack knows how to scandal, kids.
According to Radar Online : The woman apparently licking Bono's breast is Edra Blixseth, a disgraced former billionaire who is at the center of a criminal investigation probing whether she made fraudulent representations about her financial worth to a number of banks.
Blixseth's debts are alleged at $357 million dollars. And that's not all, folks.
Mary Bono Mack, who is also a member of the Committee of Energy and Commerce, is apparently known on Capitol Hill to be what congressional challenger Julie Bornstein calls a 'strenuous partier,' and that she nor other fellow congress members are at all surprised by the pictures, given that they have by now been given ample opportunity to be "embarrassed repeatedly' by her behavior.
Mmh- are you reaching for your camera too?
Mack who is now married Republican Florida representative Connie Mack in 2007, has yet to comment on the scandal.
We hope this scandal ends with a salacious coming out story, because one Bono sexual identity crisis just wasn't enough.
