Extraditions expected after brace of arrests
A member of the Australian Federal Police has been suspended from duty after being arrested near Alice Springs.
An AFP spokeswoman says the Professional Standards Internal Investigation Unit has been assisting New South Wales Police with their enquires about the officer for the last few months.
The spokeswoman has refused to confirm whether or not the man had been working in the Northern Territory at the time of his arrest.
Northern Territory Police say there has been a successful application to have the man extradited from Alice Springs to New South Wales to face court.
Meanwhile, a Territory woman arrested as part of national fugitive hunt Operation Roam has appeared in court in South Australia.
Bridget Schaffe, also known as Barbette Tennielle Griffin, was wanted for allegedly lighting fires at two Alice Springs hotels.
She was arrested at a remote South Australian farm last night.
Police say a Port Lincoln resident recognised a picture of her on television.
The Port Lincoln Magistrates Court was told Griffin is pregnant and due to give birth next month.
She has been remanded in custody until tomorrow, when Northern Territory Police officers are expected to seek her extradition.

Whether it was her dramatic fashion work in London in the '80s or her documentation of Braj, Australian photographer Robyn Beeche has practised photography with the objective of giving back to the world she is part of.
What a fascinating life Robyn Beeche has led! Practising an art only for the love of it. The idea was to create, to serve without any expectations. That was what the Australian photographer was doing, when in London she was shooting for fashion designers, collaborating with hairdressers and make-up artists, and she continued it even after she came to live in Vrindavan to document the living traditions of Brajbhoomi. "Even there I wasn't doing it for money. Everybody I was working with was so wanting to create something. We would all pool in money to buy a film. Irrespective of what work I am showing…my Indian images or my London work, I always tell photographers that it's not everything to work for money. You have to work to satisfy your own creative urges. They should go back to old fashioned ways of finding out what they are doing. I always want to inspire people…to tell them to get off photoshop and do something real," explains Beeche.
Australian director Lesley Branagan captures this essence of Beeche's life in her documentary "A Life Exposed: Robyn Beeche — A Photographer's Transformation", which was recently screened in the Capital at Alliance Francaise auditorium.
Perhaps that's why the switch from the glitz and glamour of London to the mundane reality of Vrindavan, the rituals and customs which were in practice for centuries, was not difficult for Beeche. In fact, at many levels, the artist finds resonance of her work in London in Braj, and Beeche expresses it in the film. The image which, she realised, was being constructed spending so much time and effort in London, happened naturally here.
In London at a time when the city was thriving with creativity and experimentation, Beeche, inspired by Impressionism and the Bauhaus art movement, was busy making drastic images of painted bodies, and collaborating with the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Leigh Bowery, Zhandra Rhodes, Divine and teaching at London College of Fashion, until she witnessed a massive cultural festival of India mounted there in 1985. "I was on my way back from Australia and Rajeev Sethi invited me to come to Delhi and from there he sent me to Vrindavan," recalls the photographer who finally decided to live in Vrindavan in 1992. "I had made 13 trips by then. You know by the late '80s Margaret Thatcher's rule had really made things difficult. With all those taxes, freelancers were suffering. My studio was right opposite Victoria and Albert Museum. A small but lovely and intimate space. I had to choose between keeping the studio which was getting difficult to maintain and to pursue my work in India. So I decided to sell it," Beeche adds.
And ever since then, Beeche has been engaged with documenting the traditions of the land. Associated with Sri Radha Raman Temple, Beeche has captured every single ritual and custom practised in the temple and built a formidable archive. In this journey, Beeche says, she was guided first by Sri Purushottam Goswami — her guru — and later his son Srivatsa Goswami.
"Among the temples in India, our archive could probably be the richest because you are allowed to photograph Radha Raman ji. For instance you can't photograph Banke Bihari ji. So everything to do with Radha Raman ji I have documented seriously since 1986, plus I have worked on a very big project which is called Braj Vikalp. This work has been exhibited at IGNCA in Delhi and NCPA in Mumbai. I have continually documented the traditions, the people who make phool banglas, people who do saanjhi, the river, and now I can see that I can't get the same pictures anymore…I can't get the same shots I got earlier."
To be able to look deeply into the tradition, Beeche realised that she couldn't remain an outsider and hence embraced Hinduism. "It made good sense that I knew what I was doing. But I was also accepted by people here because they knew I was serious about what I was doing. If I was on a pilgrimage to a religious site, I could go inside the sanctum sanctorum. It made a big difference to have that piece of paper from the Arya Samaj."
In the initial period, when she was shuttling between India and London, she would go with several questions for her creative friends. She would ask them if they can spend 100 hours on a painting and then destroy it. "Because that's what would happen to saanjhi. A fresh one would be made painstakingly only to be destroyed after the darshan was over, and the artists would start working on the new one. It was a good example of detachment," says the photographer who has donated all her work to the temple. Now living off a pension that she receives in Australia, she divides her time between the country of her birth and Vrindavan. "It was always seva. Even when I was shooting pictures in London, I would keep giving it to my friends…I was fed up with people throwing magazines in a bin. I wanted to give them such beautiful images that they would want to keep forever."

"Game of Thrones" Season 4, Episode 5, titled "First of His Name," airs on HBO this Sunday, May 4. GOT fans can also watch this week's new episode on HBO Go. Daenerys Targaryen frees Meereen. Arya Stark is still with The Hound. Tyrion Lannister tells his brother Jaime what to do. The White Walkers celebrate an offering.
Spoilers alert: This feature contains major spoilers on Game of Thrones Season 4. "Future" developments in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series are mentioned. Read at your own risk.
What happens in Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode 5? Daenerys talks of taking King's Landing. Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman), who may have developed a crush on Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) is crowned king. Queen Regent Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) is about to get more furious at Margaery. Watch the HBO promo video here or play the clip below.
GOT Spoilers and Updates: Daenerys, Arya, Tyrion, Bran, Jon Snow, and the White Walkers' Night's King
- In GOT S4E4, the "Mother of Dragons," Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), liberates Meereen. HBO foreshadows a brewing problem involving the growing dragons. In "A Storm of Swords," Daeny discovers a reason to doubt the loyalty of Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen).
- The long journey of Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) with Sandor Clegane aka The Hound (Rory McCann) is bound to end. Arya reuniting with Needle in Game of Thrones Season 4 means death is very close to The Hound, and Arya will soon be Braavos-bound on HBO. This is when she says "Valar Morghulis" again.
- Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), imprisoned over the death of the vicious King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), asks his brother Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) to set him free in Game of Thrones Season 4. In 'Storm,' Jaime does this only after the trial; soon after which, Tyrion kills his father Tywin (Charles Dance). Shae (Sibel Kekilli) dies, too.
- In Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode 4 ("Oathkeeper"), the White Walkers are seen in a ritual with a Craster baby. Rumours brewed viewers saw the "Night's King" in the centre of the ceremony. The buzz across social media sites was that HBO's original synopsis stated "the Night's King greets the infant." [In 'Storm,' Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) recalls Old Nan's tales about the Night's King - that he is a Stark of Winterfell.]
- In Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode 4, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) launches his mission to Craster's Keep, unaware that Bran, Hodor (Kristian Nairn), Jojen (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and Meera (Ellie Kendrick) are captured there.
Bran Stark and Jon Snow in GRRM's books and on HBO
Game of Thrones Season 4 is fast tracking the overlapping story of Bran and Jon. Their intertwined arc on HBO at this point is very different from their stories in Martin's 'Song' books. For one, in the books, Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) keeps his promise of never telling Jon about his encounter with Bran.
Meanwhile, fans who know of Tywin Lannister's imminent death look forward to seeing Tyrion kill his father. This does not happen (yet) in Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode 5. However, everything is moving forward (others much faster than in the books). So this week's new episode is another must-watch.

Game of Thrones Season 4 airs Sundays on HBO. The next new episode, "The Laws of God and Men," airs May 11.

1969 Alfa Romeo T33/2 Spyder
In 1969, Autodelta converted a number of 1968 cars to spyder configuration for continued use. The resultant design was very similar to the T33/2 Daytone minus all the bodywork above the windscreen base. This configuration was chosen for the 1969 Targa Florio which sometimes these cars are named after.
The new body was fitted to a chassis very similar to the 1967 car with its large-diameter H-frame chassis that also carried the fuel. The 270 bhp, 2-liter, aluminum V8 was retained to avoid a costly engine development program.

Comments about Hillsdale Cameron Rectangle Wood and Metal Dining Table:
While Hayneedle provides excellent customer service, the manufacturer misrepresents this table by referring to it as "Wood." My table was damaged in two corners and it appeared that there was an attempt in the manufacturing process to reattach the surface that had peeled off with glue. This area looks like a papery laminate. Maybe the base of the table top is inexpensive wood, but I'm not so sure the surface is. This table would be OK in a very casual kitchen or in a work room. To me it's not really appropriate for a living/dining space. It's sturdy enough, but looks cheap and not look like wood.

Comments about Hillsdale Cameron Rectangle Wood and Metal Dining Table:
Firstly, it was very difficult to get imformation regarding this table. I contacted Hillsdale prior to purchasing it, and was given some inaccurate details about the finish. But once the table was in my home and assembled, I saw that it had been damaged, most likely during the manufacturing stage. While at a glance this appears to be a solid top, albeit a little cheap in finish, I noticed where the corners were banged in, a surface "veneer" which almost looked like paper, had been glued back in place. I then became more concerned about this surface. I contacted Hayneedle, and they attempted to get more precise information for me, but were given a vague response from Hillsdale. I then contacted Hillsdale once again and was ultimately told that this was an MDF table with a rubberwood veneer. The more I looked at the table, I feel I was once again misled. It appears to have a solid wood top with an artificial laminate surface. I don't know what that surface is made of, but I'm a little dubious that it's wood. Either way, it looks like a table you may have in a kitchen especially if you have young children. It doesn't really look like a dining table because of the way it's finished. I love the IDEA of this table (the distressed, industrial look) but this is a cheap knock off. The metal frame is OK, however, and the table seems sturdy. Hayneedle, was very patient with my calls regarding the damage as well as the misrepresentation from the manufacturer. They were willing to accomodate me anyway they could. Do buy from Hayneedle, but think twice about this table.

PCI Compliance
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance
Protect your customers and your business with PCI Compliance
Protecting your customers and yourself from credit card fraud is a major consideration in ecommerce. Any business accepting online credit card payments needs to consider whether they need to be PCI DSS compliant. PCI DSS has been developed to combat online credit card fraud.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) aims to protect the individual's personal information through proper security when credit card transactions are processed. The PCI DSS was set up by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The founder members of the Council include American Express, MasterCard and Visa.
The risks without PCI Compliance
The risk to your business of credit card fraud is high. There has been a significant increase in online fraud. The impact of fraud is not only a loss of revenue but could mean that your business suffers:
A fine imposed by your bank
A forensic investigation that you will have to fund
A reclassification of your merchant status
A major loss of faith by your customers – which could fatally damage your business
6 requirements of PCI DSS
Under PCI DSS, you as the merchant must:
1. Build and maintain a secure network
Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.
Do not use vendor supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
2. Protect cardholder data
Protect stored cardholder data.
Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.
3. Maintain a vulnerability management programme
Use and regularly update anti-virus software.
Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
4. Implement strong access control measures
Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know.
Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access.
Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
5. Regularly monitor and test networks
Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.
Regularly test security systems and processes.
6. Maintain an information security policy
Maintain a policy that addresses information security.
PCI for ecommerce
The major elements of PCI compliance that affect ecommerce are:
Storing the Card Verification Value (CVV)
number is prohibited. You are not allowed to store the three-digit CVV number under any circumstances.
Protecting the primary account number (PAN)
. PAN is the 14 or 16 digit code across the front of the credit card. This has to be available to those with a need to access it, otherwise it must be masked. The PAN must be encrypted when stored and when transmitted.
Compliance with the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS).
This applies to all third party ecommerce software. It sets out the security requirements for processing credit card transactions. Your ecommerce software must be PA DSS compliant.
Helping you achieve PCI Compliance
Protecting your customers' data is central to how Xanthos creates and launches your ecommerce website. Xanthos only works with PA DSS compliant ecommerce software to make sure that your store is safe and secure.

Suffering from multiple health problems, I could not have prayed for a more thorough, knowledgeable, caring person to help me. Karen is also a wonderful, caring nurse.

Retirement would be good on him; as any great man, he has deserved as much peaceful time as he has given to all his patients. His staff is excellent, and the overall throughput is very fast. If a medication is not doing its job he will know when it is best to switch to something more effective. I am sure that when he retires, he will have recommendations on who we should see next. Thank you Dr Echlin.

Wladimir Klitschko pummels Jean-Marc Mormeck
By Dan Rafael, ESPN.com, March 5, 2012
Klitschko, 35, of Ukraine but a hero in Germany, is the No. 1 heavyweight on the planet, the legitimate champion in the midst of a historic title reign that began in 2006. He is 6-foot-6, a chiseled 245 pounds and possesses tremendous one-punch power in his right hand and a murderous jab. Mormeck, France's most popular active fighter, is 39, stands only 5-11, weighs 216 pounds and is not a big puncher. Moreover, the former cruiserweight champion had not fought in 15 months and in his three-fight heavyweight campaign (following a more than two-year retirement) he had looked positively awful. He looked bad against club fighter Vinny Maddalone, got a hometown gift decision against Fres Oquendo and was almost as lucky to escape with a hometown split decision against Timur Ibragimov.
There is a reason he was a massive, massive underdog against Klitschko, who hand-picked Mormeck for his 11th defense even though Mormeck was one of the most unworthy heavyweight title challengers in recent boxing history. Klitschko and his older brother, fellow champ Vitali Klitschko, have essentially cleaned out the top 10 of those willing to face them. So Wladimir, who fought only once last year in his wipeout of former titlist David Haye (who ended Mormeck's second cruiserweight title reign before moving up in weight), took this soft-touch fight and still drew a crowd of about 50,000 to Esprit Arena for a fight originally scheduled for December but postponed when Klitschko needed surgery to remove a kidney stone a week before the bout.
Hopefully, the fans got a dose of entertainment from the theatrical ring walks because that was about as much drama as there was. Klitschko, as expected, dominated Mormeck, who could not do anything whatsoever against the champion in one of the most pathetic displays a heavyweight title challenger has ever put forth. Try these stats on for size, courtesy of CompuBox: Mormeck was 0-for-2 in first-round punches, 1-for-5 in the second round, 2-for-8 in the third round and 0-for-4 in the fourth round. That means in the 10 minutes, 12 seconds that the fight lasted, Mormeck landed only three punches out of 19 thrown (a putrid 16 percent). Klitschko, meantime, landed 39 of 135 (29 percent) and scored a spectacular knockout. The size, speed, power and talent disparity was stark.
Klitschko more or less used the first round to feel Mormeck out and leaned on him, almost to excess, in order to sap some of his energy. (That's an old trick taught by his trainer, Emanuel Steward.) But then it was basically target practice for Klitschko. You got the feeling that he could have ended the fight any time he pleased. When he finally began to let his hands go, he dropped Mormeck with a clean right hand in the second round. He continued to abuse him in the third round and then put together a nasty three-punch combination to end the fight -- a left hook, right hand and another left. Mormeck went down and, although he tried to beat the count, referee Luis Pabon counted him out at 1 minute, 12 seconds.
The knockout gave Klitschko No. 50 of his career, a milestone for sure. He moved alone into fifth place on the all-time list for knockouts by a heavyweight champion, breaking the tie had been in with Hall of Fame legends Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. Klitschko, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist and a two-time champion, also moved to 18-2 with 15 knockouts in world title fights with no obvious challenger on the horizon. So Klitschko will keep on going and try to rack up defenses. He does owe Tony Thompson, whom he knocked out in the 11th round of a 2008 mandatory defense, another mandatory shot, so he is probably next. Klitschko would like to come to America before the end of the year and could face Cristobal Arreola -- who was already knocked out by Vitali in a title bout -- in the U.S. in the fall. Whomever Klitschko faces next, he is likely to be another significant underdog against a star champion who has won all of his defenses in dominant fashion and not been even remotely challenged in any of them.

The Secret to the Secret Getaway is its location, quality and price. Why stay in the nicest hotel suite in town, when you can have much more, for significantly less money?
We are located two blocks from the Beach, Stearns Wharf, Public Pool, Harbor, world-class dining, and downtown shops, including our own local Farmers market. Leave your car and parking worries behind. We even offer RARE off street reserved parking.
Within blocks are a European deli and market, bakery and sandwich shop, three wineries and a grocery store leaving little need to leave the neighborhood. In addition there are bike rentals, Segway rentals, peddle surrey rentals, a skate park, the Chase Palm Park with a merry-go-round and the site of a craft fair each Sunday that lines the beach boardwalk. The Santa Barbara Zoo and the Bird Sanctuary are an easy mile and half walk. If you are traveling to Santa Barbara by train the Secret Getaway is two blocks from the train station and there is a car rental agency two blocks away in case you want to explore the Santa Ynez Valley wine country. If you are tired of walking, all of these attractions can be reached by a local 25 cents-a-ride shuttle bus that runs up State Street and along the ocean front from the harbor to the zoo.
The Secret Getaway is new and resides in a historical turn of the century building that retains the charm of the day's bygone. It has been lovingly restored to reflect the true authentic Santa Barbara style. The beautiful limestone floors, faux painting and ten feet ceilings all give it a romantic and European feeling.
The bright kitchen is fully equipped, including spices, with granite counter tops, all appliances and your own washer and dryer.
The bathroom is immaculate with custom stone work throughout, a built in Jacuzzi tub, separate large walk- in shower and Santa Barbara style cabinets with matching granite.
The living room has a Waterford fireplace, comfortable couch (queen sleeper), 42' HDTV which replaced the smaller one in the picture, DVD and stereo. Complimentary wireless internet access is also available for your convenience. The bedroom offers a king-size feather top bed with luxury linens.
The bedroom and kitchen each have eight foot glass doors that lead to the your own veranda where you can enjoy the California sun, complete with Bistro set, potted flowers and gas grill.
For your convenience we also offer private reserved parking and a washer and dryer in the Secret Getaway. Everything you need to complete your stay.
Also a helpful hint when comparing: We are not on a commercial thorough fare or next to the highway or railroad tracks. We are in a nice residential neighborhood.

We just spent 3 nights at the "Secret Getaway" and it was perfect! Everything from the comfortable king sized bed and lovely bathroom, to the nice kitchen helped make our stay so enjoyable! It is also within walking distance to State Street and just a couple of blocks to the West Beach area. I would definitely come back and stay here again!
We spent two weeks at "Secret Getaway" and it couldn't have been better! The location is absolutely perfect. The West Beach area of Santa Barbara has a homey neighborhood feeling, but is two short blocks to the beach, as well as just a few blocks downtown to amazing shopping and a particularly beautiful retro movie at Nuevo Paseo Mall. The neighborhood is totally safe, and there's a modest grocery store on the corner a block away. There are many (and I mean many) wonderful restaurants within a comfortable walk. The bluff overlooking the ocean from the area called the Mesa is close. People are friendly.
The building itself is beautifully updated and maintained. Soundproofing is good between apartments. Airconditioning is unnecessary because there is a wonderful cool cross breeze at night. There is off-the-street parking. The grounds, though small (as they all are in this area) are well-kept. We are admittedly enthusiastic walkers, but anyone could get along fine without a car. We had thought if we wanted to expand our explorations we would rent a car for a day or two, but just never felt the need. We walked several miles every day and never ran out of places to go. The Mission, Santa Barbara Church and museum, the Mesa, parks, downtown, neighborhoods, beaches, Stearns Wharf, East Beach, all just a walk away.
As for the unit itself, we were absolutely thrilled with the kitcheen and bathroom. Both seemed very new, and were meticuously clean. Though we didn't use the large jacuzzi tub (so busy, just never got around to it) it was immaculately clean and added a spaciousness to the bathroom; the large walk-in shower with double heads was wonderful. There is an unusually large amount of counterspace in the bathroom, including a seperate counter top perfect for make-up. The kitchen is also meticulously clean and looks brand new, including the appliances.
Though a prior occupant complained about the proximity of the small patio to the building's passageway, we found that more fun than irritating. Other occupants passing by to the parking area often stopped to chat. And it should be noted this is not a public passageway; it is simply how building occupants get to the parking area.
In summary, Secret Getaway was perfect for our first visit to Santa Barbara and we complimented ourselves numerous times on our excellent choice of a place to stay! You can't go wrong with this place.
We stayed at the Secret Getaway for 5 nights in February and it was everything we hoped it would be. The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us and had everything we needed for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The location was excellent - a couple of blocks from the beach and a nice walk from State Street. We had a car (and appreciated the off-street parking) but we didn't use it at all during our stay. There is a wonderful little supermarket just a couple of blocks away (we stocked up on breakfast supplies so we could enjoy ours on the little patio each day) as well a couple of local restaurants (we got take out from Rudy's and we loved The Brewhouse for drinks!) if you don't feel like venturing out too far in the evening. The kitchen is large enough for two people to move around comfortably while preparing food and we found all of the supplies we needed. The spacious bathroom was very nice and I enjoyed soaking in the tub at the end of the day. We did notice the wireless signal was a little week as one of the other reviewers pointed out, but it really wasn't an issue for us. I don't think there is any question about returning - we'll be back to Santa Barbara and we'll stay here again. It was perfect.
First let me preface by saying that Santa Barbara is a relatively expensive holiday destination. This apartment is very passable, but not cheap by any means. Remember when you calculate the rental cost to include the cleaning charges, Paypal or bank transfer fees and any other costs, these added up and made the accommodation costs comparable to some pretty motels in the same area. The location is good, very close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, cafes and downtown (if you're okay with hikes). The apartment was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the kitchen has reasonable equipment, however if you like to cook, be warned that there are absolutely no food staples other than salt and pepper - and a lovely welcome bottle of champagne. Privacy was an issue for us, the little balcony overlooks the parking lot, and every window overlooks neighbours' windows at close proximity. The apartment feels completely airless when the windows are closed, but being on the ground floor we were not comfortable leaving the windows open at night. In the daytime we felt we were in a fishbowl when the blinds were open - people looked in as they walked by unit from the parking lot. The bedroom blinds are vertical blinds with no bottom weights, so they don't close properly and swing in any breeze making a clattering noise. Furthermore, one of the vertical slats was missing which meant the morning light streamed in at 6:30am. The WIFI signal was weak, and having no local phone made making reservations for restaurants an issue. All-in-all this unit was just okay I think there are probably better apartments available.
This place was better than we expected, not that we expected anything bad, but we have never been wowed. The Secret Getaway sits on the ground floor of a very charming Mediterranean style home with nooks and crannies of serenity, fountains and gardens. The apartment was very clean and homey with a well stocked kitchen, perfect for us.
The bed was comfortable with quality linens. The bathroom was a spa, just like the description said. A great place to unwind after walking around SB. During our entire stay, we rarely saw or heard any other people, despite knowing there were other residents in for the week. It felt like we had this whole oasis to ourselves. The little patio off the kitchen and bedroom was a perfect spot to have our morning coffee and breakfast.
What makes this a quaint retreat is that there are no signs and no front desk and no sight of any housekeeping staff. The little twists and turns throughout the estate makes each individual apartment hidden. In my opinion, this place is situated just off the beaten path in a good way. Out of the way of the mob of tourists and on the great side near the SB marina which makes for an awesome sunrise/sunset walk. The bulk of the people tend to thin out on this side of State Street which was PERFECT for us.
We chose this place for the, beach/State Street walking convenience, large kitchen, spa like bathroom and the gas fireplace which we didn't end up needing because of the unusual heat wave that went through during our stay. Coming from CT, we like our cozy comfort and here you will find it and more!
My 2 year old keeps asking me to take her back to the "yellow house, yellow house!" So I'll take that as a sign that she loved the place. Clean, convenient, awesome. Would stay again.

Fighting and leading his Marines in the war of Afghanistan.
Citation: For heroic achievement in connection with combat operations against the enemy while serving as the Operations Chief, Delta Company, 2D Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Marine Expeditionary Brigade - Afghanistan, from 6 May 2009 to 11 July 2009 in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Master Sergeant Hatfield led the company advanced party to Afghanistan to supervise the receipt and inspection of 25 Light Armored Vehicles and all stock list 3 items. His diligence allowed Delta Company to complete final preparations for combat in a mere two weeks after the main body arrived, thereby enabling the battalion to meet timelines for offensive operations. During the initial days of OPERATION KHANJARI, Master Sergeant Hatfield organized the defense of the Khan Neshin district center and helped repel several combined arms counterattacks by the enemy. The force protection measures he implemented withstood two direct hits from 107-milimeter rockets during one of these attacks and prevented serious injury or death to company leadership and civilian aid workers in the area. On the evening of 11 July 2009, the enemy attacked a combat logistics patrol led by Master Sergeant Hatfield with an improvised explosive device. Master Sergeant Hatfield received life-threatening wounds in the blast but directed rescuers to tend to his driver first before allowing them to remove him from the vehicle. Although gravely wounded, Master Sergeant Hatfield continued to see to the treatment of his crew until he succumbed to his wounds during medical evacuation. Master Sergeant Hatfield's distinctive contributions, unrelenting perseverance, and steadfast devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Servce.
Summary of Action: MSgt Hatfield was in receipt of imminent danger pay during this period. Combat Distinguishing Device is authorized.
MSgt Jerome D. Hatfield is enthusiastically recommended for the Bronze Star Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device (posthumously) for his heroic achievement as Operations Chief, Company D, 2d Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) Battalion, 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade from 6 May to 11 July 2009 in support of OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM. MSgt Hatfield's impressive achievements, leadership, and selfless devotion to duty are set forth in the following:
MSgt Hatfield volunteered for a transfer from H&S Company to Company D when 2d LAR Bn received short-notice deployment orders to Afghanistan as part of the 2d MEB. This was a period of key leadership transition in Co D due to PCS orders and post-deployment reassignments. With only 6.5 months of dwell after a 7-month deployment (less than 1:1 deploy-to-dwell ratio) following OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM 08.1, MSgt Hatfield assumed his post. With a 1stLt commanding officer awaiting PCS orders, the executive officer on temporary additional duty, and a new 1stSgt unfamiliar with LAR operations, MSgt Hatfield immediately became the keystone of the company. As the operations chief, he oversaw the transfer and integration of more than 50% of Company D personnel, he then formed vehicle crews and scout teams to prepare for training. MSgt Hatfield also reorganized the armory and supervised the receipt of 25 new LAV-A2 variants. He diligently ensured closure of all outstanding discrepancies, maintained accountability of more than $90 million worth of equipment, and set a standard of professionalism that would prove invaluable when the company repeated these procedures twice more during training and embarkation.
After organizing and equipping the company, MSgt Hatfield applied his 18 years of Marine Corps experience to training the Marines for combat. With less than 120 days notice prior to deployment, he helped develop and support a condensed training plan that achieved quantifiable improvement in individual and small unit skills. An example of MSgt Hatfield's exceptional performance during this period was his support of annual LAV-25 gunnery qualifications while simultaneously embarking the company's equipment. Within a twenty-four hour period, he established a gunnery range complete with a company outpost, billeting area, maintenance area, fueling point, ammunition supply point and a command and control structure. Concurrently, after supervising 17-hour firing days, he returned to the company office to reconcile embarkation data and pack shipping containers. MSgt Hatfield efficiently accomplished all tasks without compromise, enabling the company to meet all training objectives ahead of schedule and enjoy an unplanned 48hr liberty period prior to deploying to Ft Irwin for a month-long training exercise.
Company D participated in a Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRX) at the National Training Center, Ft Irwin, CA during March 2009. This unique training venue presented numerous challenges that MSgt Hatfield tackled with his trademark thoroughness. He led the inventory and joint limited technical inspection of 25 LAVs from two separate commands and supervised their preparation for a 120-mile road march from Twentynine Palms to Fort Irwin. Other companies relied heavily on MSgt Hatfield due to his previous experience as the battalion logistics chief and he willingly mentored and assisted his peers throughout the month-long training event. He also advised the newly appointed company commander who was inexperienced in LAR operations. MSgt Hatfield participated closely in the tactical planning and his input directly contributed the successful completion of several live-fire and maneuver ranges as well as the Full Spectrum Operations culminating exercise.
Redeploying in early April to Camp Lejeune, MSgt Hatfield set in motion a plan to support Block V of the Pre-Deployment Training Program continuum and prepare the company for an early May deployment date. The Military Operations on Urban Terrain package he helped develop became the backdrop venue for a visit by the Secretary of Defense, and the final gear inspections that he supervised ensured all personnel were ready for combat. When last minute troop level restrictions cancelled Co D's deployment orders, MSgt Hatfield volunteered to lead a small advanced party forward with the battalion command element in anticipation of an increased force cap. It was in this capacity that MSgt Hatfield single-handedly contributed directly to successful combat operations involving Co D and 2d LAR Bn.
The advanced party arrived at Forward Operating Base Leatherneck, Helmand Province, Afghanistan and discovered austere conditions unsuitable for follow on forces. With minimal life support and no equipment, MSgt Hatfield and two LCpls set to work preparing for the arrival of the remainder of Company D. Displaying the same boundless initiative and tireless work ethic demonstrated during three previous equipment transfers, MSgt Hatfield expertly received 25 LAVs, supervised SL-3 inventories, inspected maintenance readiness, and worked with the battalion ordnance officer to correct deficiencies prior to the company's arrival. His efforts enabled Co D to complete reception, staging, onward movement, and integration in a mere two weeks after their arrival, thereby allowing the battalion to meet the timelines of OPERATION KHANJARI. Without MSgt Hatfield's leadership and experience, it is unlikely that Co D and 2d LAR Bn would have met the bold mission requirements to conduct a lengthy cross-country movement and to seize the furthest south district center in the Helmand Province.
On the afternoon of 27 June 2009, Co D departed FOB Leatherneck for an attack position in the western desert. The company crossed the line of departure the following day and completed more than 200km of off-road movement at night. Co D accomplished this tactical movement with no mechanical breakdowns due in large part to MSgt Hatfield and his work during the joint limited technical inspection process. During the movement, he supervised several recovery operations in difficult terrain ensuring that the unit adhered to timelines established for the assault. Company D, the battalion main effort, seized the Khan Neshin district center in the early morning hours of 1 July 2009. MSgt Hatfield immediately organized the defense of the 300-year-old castle and directed efforts to improve the company position. Operating in 120-degree heat and without heavy equipment, he oversaw the transformation of a dilapidated fortress into a defensible position within less than 72 hours. Marines, under his supervision, constructed and reinforced three entry control points, the combat operations center, and living spaces for a myriad of civilian and other government agency personnel. In the span of a few short days, Co D nearly doubled in size as members of the Afghan National Security Forces, Provincial Reconstruction Team, U.S. Agency for International Development, and other organizations occupied the castle. MSgt Hatfield briefed these groups on the defensive plan and ensured all military and non-military occupants had access to adequate cover.
The enemy launched a series of counter attacks against the district center shortly after Co D seized the castle. During a seven-day period, defenders repulsed two combined arms attacks and withstood numerous rocket strikes within the compound with no casualties to coalition forces or their partners. Two 107-millimeter rockets impacted the COC and civilian living area during one of these rocket attacks. Despite the direct hits, there were no casualties and only minimal damage to critical equipment due in large part to the survivability and force protection measures MSgt Hatfield implemented. MSgt Hatfield quickly had the damaged area repaired and continued his aggressive force protection plan throughout the early days of July.
On the evening of 11 July 2009, MSgt Hatfield departed the company perimeter at Khan Neshin Castle on a combat logistics patrol to the battalion command post. MSgt Hatfield was the vehicle commander on his Light Armored Vehicle-Logistics variant and travelled as the second vehicle in the patrol. As the patrol passed a series of ruins seven kilometers from Khan Neshin Castle, the enemy attacked MSgt Hatfield's vehicle with a pressure-plate initiated improvised explosive device. The violent force from an estimated 80 pounds of bulk explosive sent the vehicle airborne and cause severe and irreparable damage to the hull, suspension, and drivetrain. The explosive energy from the blast also sent shrapnel flying through the vehicle and rendered three scouts traveling in the cargo compartment unconscious. The shrapnel and concussion effects of the explosion killed the driver instantly and severed both of MSgt Hatfield's legs. Although his own wounds were life threatening, MSgt Hatfield directed rescuers first to the driver before allowing them to remove him from the vehicle and continued to ask about the condition of his crew throughout the evacuation process. Despite rescue efforts and treatment by shock trauma doctors, MSgt Hatfield succumbed to his wounds on the medical evacuation helicopter.
MSgt Hatfield was a consummate professional who repeatedly proved invaluable to mission accomplishment during a challenging pre-deployment training period and difficult combat deployment. His exceptional efforts to organize, train, equip Company D directly contributed to the success of the battalion and his courageous combat leadership set the example for all to emulate. MSgt Hatfield's influence is still felt today and his commitment and self- sacrifice are deserving of recognition with the Bronze Star Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device for his heroic achievements.

August 2014 - With eight new adjustable safety rated functions, Universal Robots presents a robot that adapts advanced safety settings to each specific application. The third generation of the UR5 and UR10 robot arms also comes equipped with True Absolute Encoders that eliminate the need for re-initializing the robot, enabling automatic startup and easier integration into other machinery.
CTO of Universal Robots, Esben Østergaard, explains that the patented new safety concept is a logical development of the Danish robot manufacturer's collaborative robot arms. "When a human enters the robot's work-cell, the robot arm can operate in reduced mode, and then resume full speed when he leaves again. Or, the robot can run full speed inside a CNC machine, for example, and then reduced speed when outside."
To achieve a switch between normal and reduced safety mode, eight safety functions are monitored by the new patented safety system: Joint positions and speeds, TCP positions, orientation, speed and force, as well as the momentum and power of the robot. The settings can only be changed in a password protected area. Another key innovation of Universal Robots' new generation of collaborative robots is the True Absolute Encoders, allowing the robot to achieve faster start-up because its position is recognized upon power-up.
"With the integration of the True Absolute Encoder, our robot-arms can be integrated even more easily into other machineries while startup also becomes much faster and simpler for all applications," says Østergaard.
The encoders in the UR robots are not battery driven, therefore named "True Absolute Encoders," eliminating the need to&frequently re-initialize the robot arms since their position in space is known despite the robot not requiring battery power to achieve this function. Though the robot arms, UR5 and UR10 are now equipped with numerous new features, Universal Robots remains true to its approach of user-friendly, lightweight robots.
The visual appearance of the six-jointed UR5 and UR10 robot arms, with a payload of 5/10 kilos respectively, remains unchanged. But inside of the robot arm itself, as well as in the controller, are more hidden surprises: 16 additional digital I/Os doubles the number of built-in I/Os, which are easy to configure either as digital signals or as safety signals. The control box has a revised design and a rebuilt controller to further improve the possibilities for connecting equipment to the control boxes.
