For homeowners who were the path of sandy the real trouble is just starting.
Filing a homeowner -- a negotiating a settlement can be tough work.
And remember a plain Vanilla homeowners policy won't cover damage from flooding.
For that you'll probably have to pay extra for a policy from the Fed's more on that in a minute but here -- the steps homeowners should take right now to prepare client.
Job number one find your policy I know it may be no small feat.
You may have to dig around -- get a flashlight.
But what you -- to find is the declarations.
Page here's one right here.
You -- -- find that if you have a hurricane deduct we may not be able to read this too well but there actually is a hurricane deductible right here.
On this declarations page typically run their fifth -- -- It typically -- about 500 to a thousand dollars but it could be as much as 2% to 5% -- -- Not the home markets value.
Hurricane deductibles are allowed I want most -- -- states hit by -- state like Connecticut Delaware Maryland Massachusetts New Jersey.
New York Rhode Island and the Carolinas.
All along the East Coast and southern seaboard here.
Skin your policy for anti concurrent.
Causation clauses.
-- now it's a mouthful right but basically this means -- we have damage from multiple causes wind flooding.
But you want -- for both.
You may have difficulty getting any coverage at all.
Number two take pictures of your home and and the damage or better yet videotaped the whole thing.
With so many people in trouble it may take weeks very gestures to get your house you need proof -- the damages.
However don't make major repairs until an adjuster can comment.
And next contact your agent and fighter plane just as quickly as you can't early filers have a better chance of getting a good settlement.
Federal flood insurance usually has a sixty day deadline but that can be extended sometimes.
And finally if he can't live in your house because maybe there's a -- through the roof.
Most policies will pay for -- hotel room but not if you just out of power or if your flooded.
Keep receipts naturally provoke hotel stays and any repairs.
And one -- -- warning here if your problem is water.
Consider hiring an emergency service like -- pro or -- to dry things out with fans and other special equipment.
-- at your house it's critical to preventing the growth of mold and the effects of that can be as devastating as a store.
And watch out what you say to your agent.
It can come back to haunt you don't describe what you think is the cause of the damage.
Those statements could be used to deny your claim later simply describe the scene what you want -- due to temporarily fix the problem like.
Buying plywood to fix a broken window.
Look for many people most of their damages from flooding.
For that you typically need a federally backed flood insurance pot policy through some.
Though there are private insurers that underwrite this kind of risk.
The limits of federal policies typically low and you have to have purchase them thirty days before sandy hits to get coverage.
However your regular homeowner's policy may cover damage from the failure to sump pump.
Finally keep the faith this too shall pass.

The Panasonic DMC-FZ200 was our favorite ultra-zoom camera of 2011, but this year's FZ200 ups the stakes all over again. It maintains its predecessor's relatively moderate 24x zoom nevertheless now keeps an f/2.8 aperture through the zoom range. Constant-aperture focus lenses are nothing new — there are lots readily available for SLRs, however they are significantly costly. The FZ200′s continuous f/2.8 aperture is wholly unprecedented for an ultra-zoom camera.
Still another advantage is definitely an excessively narrow depth of field for taking sharp matters against a confused back ground. This influence increases with longer focal lengths and broader apertures, and it's excessively pronounced in the FZ200′s telephoto pictures.
Externally, little has changed because the FZ150, but that's no bad thing. There are certainly a couple of additional customisable purpose links to increase the already large variety of settings. Nevertheless, we unearthed that the AF/MF turn on along side it of the contact usually got jogged during our camera case. We'd have valued a touchscreen for rapidly moving the stage, but usually, it's difficult to criticise this camera for settings and ergonomics.
The digital viewfinder has been considerably improved, from 201,600 to 1,312,000 facts. That's only a shade lower than the quality of the viewfinders applied in Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds cameras, however the view is a lot smaller than in those cameras. We're also only a little annoyed by the possible lack of a distance sensor. Switching between the articulated display and viewfinder via the switch got pretty boring, even though it became less essential as we started initially to memorise the switches' jobs and could alter controls when using the viewfinder.
Because it was on the Canon EOS Rebel T4i best price, with 12fps shooting for 12 structures, or 5.5fps with constant autofocus performance is equally as quickly. It handled 5.4fps for 16 structures before decreasing to 2fps within our test. It had been fast in regular use, also, getting only 0.6 seconds between shots. Quick shooting is very of use within an ultra-zoom camera for taking activities and wildlife, and the FZ200 may be the only ultra-zoom camera that plays with SLRs for constant shooting with autofocus.

WEST COTE BLANCHE, La. (AP) - An explosion and fire ripped through a Gulf oil platform Friday as workers used a cutting torch, sending four people to a hospital with burns and leaving two missing in waters off Louisiana.
Coast Guard Capt. Ed Cubanski told a news conference in New Orleans the well was not producing at the time and no oil was leaking. A small amount of oil spilled from the rig when workers using a torch cut into a 75-foot-long, 3-inch-wide line on the platform. Cubanski said a sheen one-half mile long and 200 yards wide was reported in the area.
"It's not going to be an uncontrolled discharge from everything we're getting right now," Cubanski said.
The fire had since been extinguished, said Coast Guard spokesman Drake Fore. He said Coast Guard aircraft and boats were searching for two missing people. Nobody was believed killed in the fire.
Taslin Alfonzo, spokeswoman for West Jefferson Medical Center in suburban New Orleans, said four injured workers were brought to the hospital in critical condition with second- and third-degree burns over much of their bodies. Three arrived by helicopter at 9:55 a.m. and one by helicopter at 10:10 CST.
Two were sent by ambulance to the Baton Rouge Burn Center. Two others were to be sent later. She could not release identities or any other information.
The production platform owned by Black Elk Energy is about 25 miles southeast of Grand Isle, La. The Coast Guard said 26 people were aboard the platform at the time of the explosion.
The platform is for oil production from an established well, unlike the Deepwater Horizon rig, which was drilling an exploratory well for oil giant BP in mile-deep water when it blew up and triggered a massive oil spill in 2010. That site is well to the east of Friday's explosion.
Cubanski said the platform appeared to be structurally sound. After the April 2010 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon, that rig burned for about 36 hours before suffering structural collapse and sinking to the Gulf floor.
The Black Elk platform is in 56 feet of water. Cubanski said 28 gallons of oil were in the broken line.
The Coast Guard got the call about the fire at 8:42 a.m. CST.
A federal official in Washington said a team of environmental enforcement inspectors was flying to the scene.
David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said the team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the Coast Guard was notified of the emergency. Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion.
Black Elk is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas.
The company's website says it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms.

The city of Prague, magical and haunting, medieval yet modern, provides unparalleled opportunities to supplement classroom study with its museums, galleries, castles, and churches. Located on the river Vltava, Prague is a remarkably preserved city, and its thousand years of architectural and artistic history are reflected in its stone facades and cobblestone streets. Standing in the middle of the Charles Bridge above the rippling reflections of turrets and domes one can see the spires, steeples, and the great Prague Castle rising above the city. Walk across the bridge, and you discover the legacy of three distinct cultures—Czech, German, and Jewish.
Although an international city, Prague maintains the feeling of a village. Most places of interest are within walking distance. Stroll through the streets of Prague and admire the many statues and building ornaments rich with the city's history; discover the history behind the street names, the placement of the buildings, and the extraordinary gardens of Prague. Explore the many different neighborhoods beyond the center of the city. Evening concerts at one of the city's many churches are available for a few dollars every night of the week.

Please note – the above is an indication of potential need and not a exhaustive list. Local children's centres will be able to inform on any particular vulnerable and targeted groups in their locality.
The programme will support funding applications which meet the following aims:
- To increase engagement and participation – This refers to universal provision that is accessed by vulnerable and priority groups. Organisations must be willing to work in partnership with the local children's centre to encourage identified families to access a range of appropriate targeted services delivered at the childrens centre.
- To enhance preventative services – This refers to targeted services delivered either through groups or on a 1 to 1 basis (e.g. in the family home) that provide support to children and families under 5 and has a direct impact upon child development. For example this can include programmes that support the development of the home learning environment, parenting skills, play and behaviour strategies, healthy lifestyles, emotional well being and work readiness programmes.
- To develop innovative practice – This refers to bids to trial creative and innovative services that are aimed at improving outcomes for children under 5 and families.
To be eligible for support the organisation must:
- Provide evidence that there is an identified need for the services.
- Provide evidence that they have consulted and received the support of the appropriate children's centre management team in identifying how the service can complement the activities of the children's centre.
- Provide evidence that the children's centre management has helped in defining appropriate outcomes that can be used to measure the impact of the funding.
- Provide evidence that the service will not duplicate existing provision and will not be provided by a contracted children's centre during the period in which the funding is in place.
- Provide a statement of the expected outcomes and benefits of the service to children under 5 and their families. This should specifically highlight how the service will meet the needs of vulnerable and targeted groups.
- Provide evidence the organisation has a recognised legal structure.
- Demonstrate that the organisation agrees to promote the local children's centre to families.
- Show how the costs of the activities are calculated and include costs only from 1 April 2012.

- Provide evidence ongoing professional development for all its staff in relation to the delivery of the service for applications of over £5,000.
- Demonstrate they have a safeguarding and child protection policy together with an identified individual whose responsibility is to lead on all safeguarding and child protection matters.
If successful the organisation must:
Agree to set up appropriate data sharing arrangements with local children's centres where the families who attend the organisation's activity/service meet the children's centre target group criteria and may benefit from additional support from the children's centre. The organisation is responsible to ensure data sharing arrangements meet Data Protection Act requirements.
Acknowledge Hampshire County Council and the Services for Young Children in their publicity.
Consult with the Council in respect of any proposed changes to the service before they are implemented and any variations to the grant purpose must be agreed in advance with the Council.
Undertake any promotional and marketing activity that would be reasonably expected to ensure that communities and children's centres are aware of the services available.
Take all reasonable steps to promote and provide equal access for children with special needs and will have policy of inclusion.
Record on an assets register and notify to Hampshire County Council in the interim monitoring reports all items purchased utilising grant monies with a value or cost of £500 or more.
Keep for at least five years after the grant award all financial records including original invoices, receipts for all items purchased with the grant and other documents in relation to the services/activities being supported by the grant and make them available for inspection and for audit at any reasonable time by officers of the Council or their representatives.
Funded organisations are required to hold £10,000,000 Employers and Public Liability Insurance. If your application is successful and you hold a lower level of cover you will be required to provide a risk assessment for consideration.
Hampshire County Council requires all organisations providing advice to young people to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance. This level is currently set at £5,000,000 but may be risk assessed down to £1,000,000.
Hampshire County Council will not award a grant to an organisation that does not hold, or is not willing to obtain the required level of insurance following risk assessment, irrespective of advice given to organisations by third parties.
Understand that the grant agreement, or any part, share or interest in it, is not to be transferred, assigned or sub-let by the organisation directly or indirectly, to any person or persons whomsoever, without the written consent of the Council.
Financial eligibility
Organisations will not normally be eligible for grants where they hold unallocated reserves in excess of one year's running costs, or where it is judged that these reserves are unreasonably in excess of what is required or not allocated for legitimate purposes.
The Children's Services Grant Programme has adopted the Charity Commission's reserves policy in this respect. The Charity Commission's definition of reserve is:
Income funds that are freely available for its general (unrestricted) purposes. "Reserves" are therefore the resources the organisation has or can make available to spend, for any or all of the charity's purposes, once it has met its commitments and covered its other planned expenditure. It is not yet spent, committed or designated.
Grants are generally a contribution to core costs or service/project costs. Hampshire County Council expects organisations to secure additional funding from other sources, to contribute to the costs in kind (through volunteer time, for example), or both.
Applications from organisations who have been funded through grants streams from Hampshire County Council can be considered but they will be assessed on whether it is appropriate to consider this additional funding. This funding cannot be used to duplicate any services that the Hampshire County Council has already funded but where it is demonstrated there is a need to extend or increase capacity for the project/service this may be considered.
Who we can't fund
Hampshire County Council's standard grant conditions stipulate that the following are not able to apply for grant funding:
- Individuals
- Organisations already commissioned for the same service/project via a contract or grant agreement from Hampshire County Council
- Organisations already commissioned to deliver the operational management and services delivery of children's centres within Hampshire
- Organisations providing services solely within the unitary authority areas of Portsmouth City Council, Isle of Wight, Southampton City Council or outside Hampshire, which do not support children and young people living in Hampshire.
If an organisation is in any doubt as to whether its project qualifies enquiries should be made to Services for Young Children before submitting an application. All applicants requesting a grant of £10,000 or above should contact Services for Young Children to discuss their proposal prior to submission.
Application assessment and recommendation
Grant applications that are £5,000 and over, that meet the criteria and are being recommended for award, can receive a discretionary payment of under £5000 before the formal decision day. This will be subject to a financial review demonstrating urgent need for the financial support. All discretionary payments will be approved by the Head of Services for Young Children and the decision can be made prior to a grant panel meeting. Any remaining balance of award will be subject to full and final decision by the Executive Lead Member Children's Services.
Following the closing date, the corporate grant database will be checked to establish the history of grant awards/rejections of the applicant. The applications will then be circulated to officers of Services for Young Children and other Officers of the council as appropriate, together with the local children's centre manager for comment and consideration of the grant application. Hampshire County Council elected members and local children's partnerships for the area will be made aware of the application and invited to comment to assist the grant assessment. The application will then be assessed for award at the Services for Young Children Grant Panel.
The grants panel will confirm any discretionary payments that will be needed to be made and recommend to the Head of Service that such a payment of under £5000 will be awarded, partially awarded, or rejected. The Council will notify applicants who have been awarded a discretionary payment of the outcome of their application within 10 working days after a decision has been made.
Following the grant panel meetings, recommendations for applications £5000 and over will be made to the Children's Services Executive Lead Member. The Council will inform applicants regarding the outcome of their application no later than 10 working days after the decision day.
All grants awarded will be reported to the Children's Services Executive Lead member at a scheduled meeting.
Payment of grant
Successful applicants will receive a grant agreement which will need to be signed and returned before payment is made. Grant will be paid into an agreed bank account by BACs. Where more than one payment will be made this will be shown in the Grant Payment schedule of the agreement. In general terms however the structure of payments will be as follows:
Grant Payment |
Milestone |
50% of total grant |
Payable on return of signed agreement and returned targets. |
25% of total grant |
On submission of 6th Monthly monitoring |
25% of total grant |
On submission of end of year/grant monitoring. |
If successful, organisations will be required to sign a grant agreement and submit targets to inform the Council what they aim to achieve over the duration of the grant period. As targets will depend on the value of grant, Hampshire county Council will agree these with the organisation separately once an award has been agreed.
Successful projects will be required to complete a six month and end of year (or end of grant as appropriate) self monitoring report to demonstrate how the project is being delivered and if the proposed outcomes and targets are being met. Depending on the value of the grant and the nature of the service/activity a review visit may also be arranged by Hampshire County Council.
Children's Centres Quality Performance Visits/annual conversation will also be used to review the outcomes of the funding and the partnership working.

Cape Town Road Trip: Chapman's Peak Drive [360-Degree Panorama]
There are certain parts of the world that simply cry out: Road Trip! You know the requisite ingredients: rugged cliffs dropping into blue ocean waters, waves crashing against rocky outcroppings, and pockets of white foam shooting into the air. Roads wind, barely two lanes wide, cars hug mountain turns. Drivers and passengers crane their necks to catch a glimpse — the glimpse — over the next cliff, wanting to pull off for the perfect photo.
The whole thing sounds cliché, perhaps, but maybe that's just because that's the way it really is. There are a few drives in this world that deliver on all of this. And Chapman's Peak Drive in Cape Town happens to be one of them. Continue Reading »

It was like a paradise. One thing that I didn't like was that the bartender at the pool was rude. Everybody else was nice and friendly. Buffet was great. Drinks were awesome. I wish it was a heated pool so that I could stay at the pool at night.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Walking distance to night life, amazing food!"
This being an all inclusive hotel I was very impressed with their food! The only thing that I have to complain about is the AC in the room would not cool the room down....Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Been here before and would come back"
My husband and I came 6yrs ago and returned this year. Everything was just how I remember it. The food is much better this year. We upgraded our room to a Junior suite when we booked and I would def recommend upgrading to a Junior if you can. When we first came we got the basic room and it was a little musty and all our clothes felt damp. Maybe they […] have better air flow system now. The only complaint we had was the bed. It was a little stiff and made noise, but the noise was from the rubber sheets under the mattress which is understandable why they have rubber sheets. Other than that, I would say our stay was better than the 1st time we came and would def come back to this resort. They now have Dos XX which they didn't the first time we visited which was also a plus. Jesus & Frank in the La Fiesta bar was amazing and they remembered us. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay pleasurable and wanting to come back. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Great hotel for youngsters"
I came here on my bachelorette party for labor day weekend. We got a great deal and I've been to cancun before so i pretty much knew the area and where to stay. If you are planning on partying this is the place to go to. It is WALKING distance to all the clubs. We used the hotel staff for clubs and overall it was a good experience. One guy promised […] me free entrance to the club due to our celebratory vacation and a bottle of champagne (these clubs r all open bars) - neither one happened, which was a shame and I dont like people who say one thing and never deliver.. on the other hand clubs are amazing.. if you are going to be there on a Friday you MUST go to The City. Hotel was great over all- rooms are alright and still use actual keys which is kind of strange... food was great - we never went hungry. Restaurants are great also.

"Unbelievably accommodating! Beautiful views !"
The hotel was beautiful, from the view from my room to the view from the pool. I had a room that was a junior suite and I couldn't have asked for more . It was huge with a big king bed. The balcony felt like a whole other room . Fully stocked fridge with 4 different bottles of alcohol restocked very two days. The buffet everyday had fresh food, anything […] you could think of, from fresh squeezed fruit juice drinks to salads and quesadillas , steak, chicken.. Not to mention dessert. Everyday there was a BBQ set up by the pool with hotdogs, hamburgers, sausages , side salads and fresh fruit. The restaurants in the hotel were also nice . I recommend the Brazilian one, tons of sides and all different meats presented to the table every few minutes ! Delicious . At night they had a few bars to relax by, constantly beig attended to by the staff offering drinks non stop. The night life at the hotel was fun too ...we attended a show that was fun and relaxing . Pacha is located inside the hotel as well which was fun , live DJ playing fun in songs again with a bar . I really recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a good bang for their buck. Although it was very accommodating to a younger crowd, I would still go back when I have kids. Memorable time for sure ! LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Nice resort but lacks a few things"
We spent the week of Aug 20-27. We were first put on Floor 13. No balcony view, just a concrete wall. King size bed was two beds pushed together. We requested a new room within an hour but was told it would be 3:00 the next day before we could be moved. There was no compensation offered for our inconvenience of having to move our bags out by 11 and […] had to wait until after 3 to get another room. We were moved to the 9th floor. Our king size bed, although hard, was actually a king size bed and it did actually have a view from the balcony. There was no coffee pot in the room. We've stayed at Riu Caribe and Dreams Resort prior to this and the service was so much more personal and friendlier. This may be due to the other resorts not being quite as large. Over 2000 guests here. Most of the staff did not speak english so it was hard to ask questions unless you went to the front desk for help. Buffet food was ok. Steakhouse was awesome! The 'disco' was terrible! It's a small black hole and very, very hot!! Dance floor was very tiny as well. We stayed less than 5 minutes. The entertainment staff was ok but I've seen much better at the Riu Caribe. Was not impressed. The pool bar is full of young drunks who never leave the pool all day, so I'm pretty sure it was also their 'bathroom' which would explain the very large amounts of chlorine deposited each night. All in all, it was ok, but not someplace that I would return to again. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

This was my first time going to Cancun and I can not wait to go back. I highly recommend Riu Cancun as a place to stay. The service was amazing! The front desk was very helpful and the bartenders are awesome, they never let your glass go empty, Wences and Conde were my fav bartenders.

"If you are considering the all-inclusive read this"
The hotel has a great lay out and has an excellent flow. The hotel is right on the beach, the waves are clam the water is beautiful. Within walking distance of this hotel you will have access to the main line. The waves here are strong and worth the walk. There are many vendors trying to sell you adventure packages. My suggestion is to shop around. […] Don't buy on your first stop. Prices do very fro the same adventure. They are well worth the price. The staff is very friendly and most speak English well. The biggest disappointment was the food and drink. The spreads look great and there are many options, but what is the point when it all tastes like card board. I had to walk a short distance to find Corona beer and decent tacos. Had to pay out of pocket. NO MEXICAN FOOD. What is the purpose of vacationing in Mexico if you can't taste the local fare. Make sure to take a boat ride out to Island Isla Mujeres. The island is not that great but the all day boat ride it worth the experience alone. Again all inclusive, but the food and drink were poor. This is a trend I noticed. All inclusive, not the best. Better to explore and have some real food and drink. It WILL make or break your vacation. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Riu Cancun August 2013"
Overall my stay was good. I would recommend this hotel for couples and families. The swim up bar was a nice spot to chill and they had another pool for kids. Even though I did not bring my kids this time, I would have brought them to this resort. Even with the kids there was enough separation from kid and adult stuff. Positives: --Central location […] to bars and clubs --Pretty decent Food --Good beach --Friendly staff --Rooms and amenities were clean Negatives: --A/C in the room at night was not nearly cold enough --Reservations for the the 3 dinner restaurants were completely booked by Friday morning for Friday and Saturday night. However, we walked up to the restaurants they were not full. So, always check even if it is booked. --Do not use the onsite Coco Bongo rep. It's better to go on your own. They really don't provide much of a service. They state you don't have to wait and you'll have a table, but both are untrue for a Friday or Saturday night. Perhaps if you go on a weekday night, you will have those things. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Will be back again!"
Everything was great, from the location to the service by all the staff. The food was plentiful and the variety was magnificent in the main restaurant. However, the specialty restaurants (Japanese and Brazilian Charascera) were disappointing - it felt like they wanted to rush you out the door. Don't forget to try all the colourful cocktails!Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"All inclusive fun with superb service :)"
An old style of decor in the rooms but it fits in with the theme of a Mexican holiday. The hotel is located right on the beach and also features pool areas. The staff are happy and friendly. The hotel is quite large but has many services on offer and the best part is that it is all inclusive! The buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are very impressive […] and there is a show for family entertainment as well as a nightclub. The only reason I did not give this hotel a 5/5 is because the walls are a little thin and people who take advantage of the all inclusive alcohol can be quite loud at times but infrequently. We had called reception and complained about the people in the next room being noisy one night and within two minutes the manager was knocking at their door. I would say this hotel is great for couples and groups but also families, good views from most rooms but note the 13th floor has limited views due to concrete barrier.

"Great beach"
This hotel is very well located, and the beach is probably the best feature of this hotel. There is sand, a few rocks, chairs and shades by the ocean. The ocean is calm and beautiful. Since we went during the summer, the hotel was pretty full, which means that we had to wake up very early to secure chairs and shades at the beach. I also think is a huge […] inconvenience having to wake up very early to try to make reservations for dinner in the 3 restaurants that the hotel offers, and still not get them at times. Be aware that this hotel is close to shops and nightclubs, which means lots of noisy drunk people around. We were a bit unlucky to have a big group of drunks right next to our room.

My wife and I stayed at the Riu Cancun for a wedding. I have to say we were a little disappointed with the price with the food and drinks. Let me preface with saying that we stayed at a Riu Palace in Cabo a couple years back, so we were comparing the two hotels. Everyone was super helpful and the service was great, but after the first day we immediately […] decided to venture into town for food and drinks. By the way, I have to say the location for this hotel is stellar, it is really close to a ton of restaurants and things to do. I mean, you can only drink the same beer and cheap vodka for so long before you want a Corona or a Sol or a liquor that you would recognize.

Hana Ranch In Hawaii Seeks Conservation-Minded Buyer
A major piece of Hawaiian real estate has hit the market. The owners of Hana Ranch, a 4,500-acre property on Maui have listed it for $65 million. The Honolulu Star Bulletin recently reported that Hana Ranch Partners LLC, the majority shareholder of which is a part of the Getty Trust, has been looking for foreign buyers from Asia, Europe and Canada. The partners, which also include San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, have been searching for a buyer for more than a year. Hana Ranch Partners purchased the property as an investment in 2001 for about $25 million and wants to find conservationists to preserve the rural nature of Hana. A conservation easement agreement with the Maui Coastal Land Trust saves 41 oceanfront acres from development and designates 100 acres of the land for affordable housing. So far the property hasn't been marketed for residential development. The listing is here.

When President George W. Bush scolded Europe last June for resisting genetically modified crops, he was acting out his part in what has become one of the most boring controversies in biotechnology. The U.S. always plays rah-rah cheerleader to Europe's pouty benchwarmer. Much of the public on both sides of the Atlantic continues to reject transgenic food despite science and industry arguments about its benefits. Findings that point to risks from transgenic organisms are waved away as manageable by biotech's advocates; findings that reinforce biotech's safety never surmount the precautionary principle (do nothing new until its safety is perfectly assured). The story hasn't progressed in years.
What a relief, then, to consider an often overlooked segment of biotech that has so far escaped the fracas. Industrial biotechnology applies the life sciences to manufacturing--for instance, by using cells to synthesize materials or by substituting enzymes for caustic reagents.
This article was originally published with the title Biotech's Clean Slate.

First of all, I noticed that in the timezone list there isn't a choice for EEST (East European Summer Time), that's GMT+2 plus 1 hour for daylight saving. Nothing very important.
The other thing which is a bit more important is that in recent changes you can't monitor deletions. For example someone can come into the forum and delete various threads and posts without it showing on the changes. The same thing happens with the move command, which is not directly reversible as it seems and in one occasion it disrupted the structure of the whole forum.

Not Everyone is Happy With Feathered Dinosaurs
Time and again I have used this blog to describe what I think is one of the most fascinating recent discoveries in paleontology: that birds are dinosaurs.
Not everyone is happy with this fact, though. The blog io9 recently posted sample images from a feathered dinosaur protest group who prefer their dinosaurs to be scaly. According to the "skeptics": "Dinosaurs are naked, leathery killing machines. They're not Brazilian Carnivale queens." Never mind that feathered dinosaurs are a fact (the fossils don't lie); if you want to join the movement you can get stickers to show your support here.

*Sigh* Some people just aren't willing to accept that dinosaurs are not like the depictions they grew up with.
Can they not be Brazilian Carnivale killing machines? Somebody needs to acquaint them with a cassowary.
"A theory not a fact"…where have I heard this before! Come on people learn the definition of a scientific theory! I doesn't mean some random idea! And if you do understand it then don't spread the stupidity by using it incorrectly just because everybody else does!
I don't have any problem at all with dinosaurs having feathers.
I do, however, have a problem with calling birds dinosaurs. Sure, they may be closely related, directly descended, whatever–but to me it's like saying humans are rats, because at some point in the last few million years what eventually became the great apes looked like rodents.
I've found that making a comment like the above on a paleo blog brings out the supercilious pedants, but there it is.
"Dinosaurs are naked, leathery killing machines. They're not Brazilian Carnivale queens."
They aren't serious, right? That's a joke group…I hope.
Lol, I think it's clear that site and their "movement" are meant to be satirical: "…express your disdain for dinosaurs with feathers and your inability and refusal to come to terms with reality."
"Make sure you Join the Anti-Feathered Dinosaurs Facebook group to let the world know how you feel about this silly notion of dinosaurs with feathers."
And, "The popular culture magazine National Geographic recently claimed that "scientists" have "proven" dinosaurs had feathers. Right. Next they will claim the world is round, carbon emissions cause global warming, and man evolved from apes. From APES!"
Thanks for pointing us to this, Brian! I had started writing a post about what it's going to take for feathered dinosaurs to be accepted in the popular imagination, and this tied into it really well.
It's clear that this is definitely a joke, and it draws on anti-evolution propaganda pretty cleverly.
I had a hard excepting it at first. But the evidence became too convincing. And people got better at depicting dinosaurs with feathers. I mean, we can now determine (to a certain extent) the color of dinosaur feathers! So i find it rather inexcusable to not except feathers on dinosaurs.
Cunninglinguine, defining Dinosauria as 'the most recent common ancestor between Megalosaurus and Iguanodon and all of its descendants', birds are quite literally by definition dinosaurs.
Yes, the "protest group" is most certainly satirical and not meant to be taken seriously. If you have any doubts about feathered dinosaurs, make sure to click to "Birds are Dinosaurs" category tab to the right.
And, Cunninglinguine , it is perfectly accurate to call birds living dinosaurs. If you think about the nested hierarchies of an evolutionary tree birds nest within the maniraptoran dinosaurs just as our species nests within apes, haplorrhines, primates, mammals, and so on down the family tree. The question is how far back you want to go. Birds are dinosaurs just like we are apes.
I am eagerly awaiting evidence of chainsaw arms in the fossil record.
I've looked at the evidence for both sides, and quite honestly I simply do not believe dinosaurs had feathers. And, this may shock you, but I don't believe in evolution either. And, I'd like to think I'm not "stupid, ignorant or wicked" as Richard Dawkins would label me. What will probably shock you the most is I believe dinosaurs and man co-existed and possibly still do – and not as birds! There is an abundance of evidence (dragons, for a start) to suggest that humans have seen dinosaurs, and there have been many sightings in recent years. Don't dismiss the creature the pygmies in the Congo has seen as a rhino or an elephant; these people have lived there for hundreds of years and would know the difference. Dinosaurs are reptiles.

Summary: I have owned this TV for about a week now. It's my 4th Samsung flat screen. I upgraded from a Samsung LN46A550 to the 46" version of this TV but had to return it because the picture was flickering really bad in 1080i, and to be quite honest the ultra thin frame around the screen makes the TV look smaller than my old TV. So I decided to upgrade to the 55".
Edit Link
The picture quality pretty breath taking! I already notice a huge difference from going to 60hz refresh rate to 120hz. When I watch Avitar it almost looks 3D (even though it's not the 3D version). I haven't quite had time to fully calibrate the settins so the colors are still a little washed out but the clarity is excellent especially for a 55". I'll have to admit the the 46" version of this tv's picture did look better but it was also 9" smaller with the same resolution.
The sound is a lot better than I expected. Usually the sound on flat screen tv's are pretty poor but I'm actually pretty impressed, very clear and deep.
I have noticed some "flashlight" effect on the corners of the TV screen. And I've heard that this bothers a lot of people and can be a problem. I only notice it on very dark scenes or when there are bars on the top and bottom and it's not too obvious. I've heard that if you loosen the screws around the bezel in the back that it will help this problem. But it doesn't bother me too much yet.
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase especially for the price. It has to be one of the best 55" LED tvs for under $1600. There are obviously better sets out there but if you're happy with 120hz refresh and not really into the whole 3D craze then this is the tv for you.
*** P.S. If you will buy this TV I suggest you have compare price before you decide at: www.amazon.com/gp/*************?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%****%2Foffer-listing%2FB004NB0NNG%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Ddp_olp_new_map%26condition%3Dnew%23&tag=***************&********=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Nice TV but flashlighting issue was extreme.
by mikaldick on May 15, 2011
Pros: Nice picture, good daytime or bright room viewing. Apps are cool. The TV itself has a great design.
Cons: Terrible flashlighting from all 4 corners. Bad off angle viewing. Motion Plus is pretty useless.

Summary: I never write reviews, but I am aways waiting for other peoples reviews, so I figured it was only fair that I start contributing. Especially since this is a new 2011 model and I am sure people are curious. This TV was replacing a 5 year old Philips Plasma. Picked up this TV a few weeks ago from Best Buy. Great picture. Good color and decent blacks for an edge lit LED. Great design also. The apps were cool, but my Blu-Ray player already has the same apps so that didn't interest me. I also have no interest in 3D, but most of the 2011 models all have it so it is what it is. The picture was crisp and as usual very bright with an edge lit LED and very easy to view in the daytime or in a brightly lit room. However, once the lights go out it's a different story. Let me preface the next few sentences by saying that I did my homework and knew that this could be a potential issue. I just wasn't expecting it to be this extreme. The lights emitted from all four corners and extended about 4 to 5 inches towards the middle of the screen. It was worse on the bottom than the top, but extremely noticeable in all corners. Watching a Blu-Ray with any type of black bars was almost impossible. It was also noticeable in any type of dark scene. Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes were unwatchable. No matter how hard I tried, my eyes were drawn to the white torches in the corners. I tried adjusting the backlight down to zero which helped but it didn't get rid of it and created a very dark picture. Oh, and before someone tries to scold me for not knowing how to properly calibrate a TV, I didn't have it on the factory setting of Vivid or any other overly bright or unrealistic setting. Not to get off topic but I find it ridiculous that these places expect people to pay more money to have their $2000 plus TV professionally calibrated. For that kind of money, the service should come with it, but I guess that would be in a perfect world. Anyway, I was keeping the back light down along with the brightness because I didn't want an overly bright/washed out look. The backlight goes up to 20 and I had it at 10 before dropping it to zero. On a side note my wife didn't notice it at all until I pointed it out to her so maybe some people won't notice or they may not even care. If I am spending almost $2000 on a TV, I expect it to not have flaws like that. The viewing angle was pretty bad also, but I expected that from an edge lit LED so I don't count that against them. 5 inches of flash-lighting coming from the corners, that's a big strike. Called Samsung and they said to wait 3 or 4 weeks and the problem should "correct itself". Sure. Wait another few weeks until my return period runs out and I am stuck with it. I wasn't taking the chance on it going away because I've never heard of that going away and who knows if they would have even attempted to fix it. I am not trashing Samsung's customer service because I didn't have a chance to really work with them, but it seems to me that telling someone to wait 3 or 4 weeks to see if an issue goes away is not the best advice. I have read other reviews about this TV and other edge lit LED's so I know it can be a crap shoot. Some people get what I got, while others get a perfect panel and some other people get even worse ones. I didn't want to get into the hassle of returning sets until I got a good one so I will go with my original gut feeling and that was to get a Plasma. They both have their advantages, but as a current Plasma owner, I believe it is the superior technology. Just an opinion though. I just wanted to get this information about my experience with this TV out there since so many other people have been kind enough to put their reviews out there for me so I could make an educated decision over the last few years. Thank you for that.

Incredible Picture, great buy for the money!!
by LukasT820 on December 29, 2011

Summary: My old Sony Trinitron died, so it was time to join the 21st Century!!! I bought this at Sears, and have been really happy with it. I have noticed the "flashlighting" issue, but it is so minor, that I don't even think about it. My only real gripe about the TV is the instruction manual could be better, and the Netflix streaming picture quality is horrible, but I think that is more because of my slow internet connection. I live on a gravel road, and my house is always pretty dusty, including the TV. To look at it right now, I really need to clean it, but once I turn it on, you can't even see the dust!!! I really like the TV.
Great picture.... when it works....
by Gerklette on July 18, 2011
Pros: Great picture, easy menus, easy to set up (I had lots of practice!)
Cons: Quality control of parts, some options not in the menu you would think it be in. Game mode is on the wrong menu, should be with the other display choices, not off in general settings. Would like to be able to manually adjust more of the picture settings,

Summary: Father's Day gift:) Wife brings home this tv with a wireless dongle and Blue-Ray player all for $1550 from a guy called Sam who has a Club named after him. Now begins the saga:
TV#1 - UN55D6000 - On the HD channels the sound would be half a second off from the picture and the picture suffered from "juddering" during scenes where anyone moved. Not just fast action movement, but somthing as simple as picking a glass up from a table. Picture was great when nothing moved. Vibrant colors, the people looked so real they were almost fake - if that makes sense. Not happy with juddering, so took it back.
TV#2 - Sharp 60' LED - Nice picture, but nowhere near as good as the Samsung. It was more expensive and the picture was only good, not great. I know it was 5' bigger, but I was dissapointed with it, so took it back, hoping the first Samsung was just a rare lemon in the bunch.....
TV#3 - UN55D6000 - A few minutes after I turn it on - Static (visual and audio) then it turns itself on and off every 30 seconds! I had to unplug it from the wall so that the TV would not turn itself on again on its own!! IT WAS POSSESSED!!!
TV#4 - UN55D6000 - Thinking I was just a loser and had back luck, I thought third time would be a charm.....NOPE! Same thing again but turned itself on and off every 2-3 minutes (so a slight improvement there). Extremely pissed off at this point. Vowed never to buy a TV from Mr. Sam or his club again.
TV#5 - UN55D6400 - From another store where people actually know what they are talking about :) Upgraded to the 3D model in hope of a better quality product and parts. Had it two weeks now and it hasn't done anything bad yet. I was starting to think I was cursed....
Overall - Great picture and that was what brought me back to the Samsung. I don't know if it was a bad batch of TVs they had or what, but I nearly said screw it and went to another brand because of all the difficulties. Samsung tech support was useless and I was not going to have a service call on a TV I had owned less that 2 hours... Also, none of the other places had heard of this model with 240Hz motion, just 120. Don't know whether that was a one time deal (Sam's didnt seem to know either) or maybe that was the problem with it in the first place?
My advice - #1 Dont buy from Sams - although they were good about taking back all the bad TVs I brought back.
#2 - If you can afford it upgrade to a better model. This is the bottom model with apparently bargain basement parts in it.
#3 - If you use a 3D TV with a PS3 and the game suports 3D, and you want to play the game in regualr 2D. Please remember to turn off the 3D in the game as well as the TV settings.
#4 - Samsung picture is good, but build quality is so-so. Kind of a crap shoot really....
Anyway, that is my two cents worth, Hope it helps you decide. -
all the TV you will ever need
by jayright88 on July 5, 2011
Pros: after warmed up just about everything

Summary: I looked up all the new 2011 and well I decided to go with this even though it got some bad reviews.. In the store it looked absolutely excellent and yes if you put it side by side with a more expensive one it looks bad but I promise you it's just a sales trick... when I first opened it and powered on I realized why it got some bad reviews, I too saw some judder and other things but as the TV warmed up it actually stopped? and to top it off I changed some settings, so please don't be quick to review this it's a great TV and definitely recommend it to anyone. And if you play with it enough you can get this sounding pretty good too (most bad reviews was due to sound quality)? like said you just got to let it warm up and change some default setting to your likeness?.
PS. If you don't know much about TV setting all I can say is what not to do? don't mess with the following settings: Color, tint (g/r), black tone, dynamic contrast, gamma, expert pattern, color space, flesh tone (keep them all on default setting) And make sure the following are on or off Edge enhancement: on, motion lighting: off, LED motion: on, game mode: off Now the rest I won't say what you should set them to its all personal preference from there?.
Good luck! -
This TV has "in your face" vibrant color
by MikeD828 on April 30, 2011
Pros: Color is vibrant; 55" is plenty big for my small family room; looks sleek and I like the swivel stand; the Anynet feature really kicks up my surround sound; before I discovered this feature, my sound was not coordinated or in sync
Cons: Many. I returned this TV on the 30th day of my store's return policy and got the same model because I really liked the picture. It looked to me that the back lighting was showing through on dark scenes, especially on Blu-ray but I still got another one.
Summary: Get a plasma.

Best LED experience (UN55D6000)
by NewWestMan on April 29, 2011
Pros: When comparing with other LED TVs IMO this TV had the best image. It's so good that at times I catch myself amazed at how sharp the picture looks... only to discover I was watching a /digital/ channel (non HD).
Here in Canada when I bought the TV they gCons: The Samsung Apps could improve. For a 55'' TV I'd like to have more than one app running at the same time (Like clock, weather and mail notifications)
Summary: Don't take my work for it. Go to a store where you can see this particular model D6000 and compare it with others name brands. You'll see what ...
Summary: Don't take my work for it. Go to a store where you can see this particular model D6000 and compare it with others name brands. You'll see what I'm talking about.
For the same money I could have gotten a 3D LED from another brand... but the non 3D image of this TV was way superior. If I want to sit around with glasses and have a "3D experience" I go to a theater. -
Excellent TV. Has everything except wifi
by shaider84 on March 23, 2011
Pros: Great picture. Thin. Has web apps.
Cons: No wifi built in.
This TV is excellent. I am happy about this purchase.
by MrJones80 on March 17, 2011
Pros: The picture quality is beatiful and everything on the screen stands out. A blind person can see this TV (thats a good thing). All of the options and aplications on the TV. From my last TV I purchased a Western Digital Media player in order to play my A
Cons: No built in WiFi. This TV does not cook and clean up. LOL
Summary: I love everything about this TV. Picture quality is excellent. This TV is everything I was looking for and more. Only thing this TV is messing is built in WiFi.

Still waiting...
It's been a week since I noticed my mate had the ghoulkeeper and treefolk decks. Since then I have searched high and low every day on the PSN store and using the internet to fathom out why I am unable to find these decks anywhere (Not even the conversion packs).
What is going on exactly?
on 30-12-2011 02:01 PM
Customer Service at its best... -.-
At this point I don't even care for the decks anymore; what really ***** me off is the total lack of communication from all involved companies.

Oi, get your act together for goodness sakes SCEE. Been a loyal customer since the console was launched and you still have not managed to be straightforward and honest with us on the most simple of issues. Your customer support is diabolical.

I don't care for the decks anymore but it would be nice to know when we can expect our refund...
Anyone alive at SONY? Or am I supposed to call the hotline so many times until I've spent more money on the hotline than on the decks?

You can keep upto date with this issue and any information and possible solutions regarding it in this thread here:
As far as I'm aware you will all be given a full refund but I don't know the eta at this time. Keep track of that thread anyway if you would like to know more.

What do you know about Ecological Gardening?
Photo: Life Dr. ®
I have always taken good care of myself and have been healthy all my life - so ending up in the hospital was quite unexpected. A month in the hospital (and literally fighting for my life) caused me to think about ways I can take even greater care in loving and nourishing myself. As a natural gourmet chef, I decided that creating a space abundant with food was my next goal.
You will see that I don't have a lot of land, but I set an intention to make the best use of the space that I do have and to create beds of food wherever possible. I knew that I could make it both inviting emotionally, as well as serve me physically but needed help because I knew nothing about gardening.
