personally I believe Berlin has been covered in numerous reviews, but being asked what I liked personally - to start with the hotel, Grand Hotel Westin Friedrichstrasse, rooms were spacy, the bathroom excellent, the food perfectly well sorted for the friends of vegetables as well the meat lovers. Then, I worked as a photographer in the premises next to the Brandenburger Tor, which was really a privilege. Last but not least, I enjoyed the co-location of modern architecture and the ancient buildings, which visualizes transition in the best possible way. Favorite places are the Reichstag, the old zoo in the eastern part Tierpark Schönbrunn, the old town of Köpenick, the lake Müggelsee, the Paul Löbe Haus and of course the Hansa quarter.
Excellent facilities, particularly public transport. Not as 'Germanic' as it used to be; the traditional 'German' seemed to be in the minority in our hotel area. Lots of multi-cultural restaurants, some of them a bit sleazy, but also some very good ones. Checkpoint Charlie hugely over-rated, and the Museum needs to be re-configured (it's a mish-mash). Zoo disappointing with lots of stagnant water. Animals looked unhappy. Bus/Boat tours excellent. Overall, we were pleased to note that it was not as expensive as we were fearing. Probably £1 was equivalent to about 1 Euro ie slightly cheaper than in UK Location is all: find accommodation near U/S Bahn stations and bus links - all frequent and efficient.
Berlin is a great city, very impressive, much diversity and many old and impressive buildings as well as monuments. I was just there for a concert, so 2 sleepovers, and honestly, I could easily have used an additional day. A downside which is truly a shame though, is all the graffiti. a thing to note is also, that the elder population doesn't understand English, which makes life a little harder for non-German speaking tourists. But, the people I've encountered in my need for guidance (mainly directions, but anyways), the German populace is very helpful, and will do what they can to assist you. I got lost a some point, and a few people I asked for assistance in re-finding my hotel, and they could "only" give me a general idea of which direction to go, even apologized for not being of better assistance, it's somewhat nice, but a bit of a shame, since I don't think they realize how much of a help it is, to get told: "you need to go in that direction." when you have absolutely no idea of which direction to go. really helpful and understanding people. other than those unable to understand English (which isn't really that big a deal considering how easy it is to encounter someone who can), I can only recommend the populace of Berlin, so don't be discouraged, or otherwise worried, of the people of Berlin, they will attempt to help you. You need only to ask. I ate at my hotel, although I wasn't fully satisfied with the amount of food on my plate, nor the amount of sauce used, it tasted great. about getting around, I took a cab to get around, if you don't have a sense of direction (like myself), getting lost is quite easy, but I think that's the case regardless of where you travel to, if it's your first time visiting.
December is a great time to visit Berlin with all of the Christmas markets. The metro is very convenient for getting around so there is no need for a car. There is a lot of new construction in what used to be East Berlin. I'd definitely try out the hotel accommodations there the next time I visit. I've heard that the countryside surrounding Berlin is very nice in the summer. Supposed to be lots of lakes. Think I will check that out next time also.
Amazing City! It has the art, history and beautiful cafes and restaurants. Good for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We really enjoyed the trip. Unfortunately I had my computer broken by the cleaning staff of the hotel (H2 Hotel in Alexandre Platz) where we stayed for 6 nights and the hotel (although took responsibility for the accident) never contacted me back to pay for the repairs.... I have tried very hard not to let this stupid accident damage my view and my experience of this amazing city.
Lots to see and do we booked on a 2 day hop on and off bus trip but we found most of the attractions ourselves as our Hotel was very central. Our hotel was right near to checkpoint charlie . We did struggle for places to eat , we just wanted a pub meal but alot of restaurants were very posh and expensive . very good transport network , we caught the train from schonenfeld airport which was only 3 euros each and you can get off at any stop for the same price. plenty of buses and a metro service as well. plenty to see would really recoommend Berlin for its History and if u want designer shops then there are plenty of them.

New hotel, very clean and fresh. Location was great. Berlin Grunau station in within 5 minutes walking distance. Berlin city centre is reachable within 40 minutes. Postdam is nearby as well. Lidl and Netto supermarkets are at the foot of the hotel. Breakfast was good. The staff assured they don't include any pork items which may be a plus for some. Free parking and good WiFi connectivity. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. If travelling by car finding the entrance to the hotel could be tricky.
8.6 Excellent 743 reviews
1) Location was incredibly nice! Very close to public transportation and many of the coolest places in Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin. 2) The room was very spacious and nicely decorated. 3) It wasn't cheap but was still more affordable than the hotels in the area. 4) Although we never met the receptionist (owner?) in person, she was very helpful and prompt with her replies to our texts. 5) Self check-in and check-out worked smoothly. 6) The room we stayed had a very nice and clean bathroom.

We were a party of family and friends occupying four rooms in different parts of the hotel and all of us enjoyed our stay - so much so that two of us are coming back in May. Gooded rooms; well furnished and comfortable; excellent sound proofing; large bathroom with abundant hot water; excellent breakfast; helpful,friendly and professional staff; excellent public transport link to Berlin city centre and airport (Schönefeld); local shops, and supermarket only 2 minutes away.
8.5 Very Good 543 reviews
The staff were good and made for an easy check in and helped when needing info on the public transport. The location was super quiet, both the surrounding area and the actual hotel, which oh meant for a lovely environment. Also public transport is literally at your door. There is no food places too close to the hotel itself and the closest supermarkets is about 3 bus stops away. The value for money was good for Berlin and Germany in general.
8.7 Excellent 6,409 reviews
Walking distance to 3 different stations - Checkpoint Charlie, Stadmitte and Postdamer Platz stations - fantastic location. We stayed during Dec, and could easily walk to the Christmas market at Gendarmenmarkt, which we felt was the best one in Berlin! Yummy (and popular!) value-for-money Vietnamese-fusion restaurant at the lobby of the hotel. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Easy check-in process.
8.2 Very Good 1,117 reviews
We have chosen to stay in this hotel since it was the cheapest available option in Berlin to answer our needs: located very close to both S-Bahn and U-Bahn, good breakfast, strong Wi-fi, private shower. This list summarizes about everything positive I can say about this property. The staff were also very friendly (though with very limited English) and overall this hotel has good value for money.
8.6 Excellent 7,037 reviews
It's pretty cool. The staff was kind and gentle, our room was very beautiful with a big window, comfortable beds and a pretty bathroom with all you needs. The structure is near a metro station (U-Bahnhof Bismark Straße)so is well connected with the city centre. I think this hotel deserves more than 3 stars, at least 4. Thank you for all we will surely come back again in Berlin.
9.0 Awesome 5,783 reviews
Location was very central, the hotel is clean and modern. Staff were the most friendly we had encountered in Germany. We were informed upon check in that the second floor cafe was closed due to water damage but the staff were very accommodating with a free breakfast in the lobby upon check out! We would stay again.
8.8 Excellent 1,345 reviews
I've stayed in dozens of hotels in Germany and this is one of my favorites. So many awesome things to say. Super friendly staff; insane cool factor; great for the artist and design spirit types; great attention to detail; delicious and organic breakfast; filled with youth and young professionals.

We should have done more research because although this hotel was in Mitte it wasn't in the heart of the city center (my fault not theirs). It's a quick walk to the metro which is nice. The room is a decent size. It was clean and tidy.
8.4 Very Good 827 reviews
The whole property has its own design and arrangement. Make me feel at home, like my own room. The window is facing a small garden, very quiet, no noise at all. It's the best stay I've ever had in Germany.

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't taking any chances. Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reports that Ben Roethlisberger will sit out Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens, and Byron Leftwich will start at quarterback.
A four-part series on player health and safety with reporter Andrea Kremer aired Tuesday through Friday on NFL Network:
Tuesday: Football's safety issues
Wednesday: Virginia Tech's helmet technology, The "Hit System"
Thursday: Inside Darrelle Revis' rehab
Friday: The lack of common safety standards in youth football
» For more information on player health and safety, visit NFLEvolution.com.
The Steelers' official website also has reported that Roethlisberger will not play against the Ravens.
The Steelers trail their AFC North rivals by one game, but they have to look to their long-term future. They need Roethlisberger healthy for the season's stretch run.
Roethlisberger's shoulder sprain isn't his only injury. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Roethlisberger also has a rib injury that wasn't mentioned by Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday. That injury occurred on a third-quarter sack of Roethlisberger and "could also be a serious problem."
Roethlisberger's shoulder injury and rib problem could keep him out a "matter of weeks," and Bouchette wrote that "any speculation" at this point about how many weeks is "just that." This particular shoulder sprain is not that common in football.
Considering how things looked when Roethlisberger left Heinz Field on Monday night, there might be some relief in Pittsburgh that this injury isn't more serious.
But the Steelers can't afford to miss Roethlisberger for long. Safety Troy Polamalu is expected to miss another week. Wide receiver Antonio Brown, running back Rashard Mendenhall and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert are among the other Steelers shaky to play this week.

This will be a different sort of post. A kind of story. I haven't finished it, so there will be more than one part; and I'm not exactly sure how it will end, so you will have to bear with me and find out too. :)
I had just about had it. Enough was enough. Why was God letting all these things happen to me? I'd just been laid off, Mom was in the hospital for pneumonia, my sister was mad at me for forgetting to call her on her birthday (and, yes, we still spat after 'growing' up), my car was broke and it was costing me an arm and a leg, and on top of all that, my friends were telling me I was stuck up and needed to get a life. Ha! I just dare them to be in my shoes for a day! Could things get any worse? The phone rang.
The next thing I know, my sister's voice is telling me that Dad had been working on the house roof when he fell and broke some ribs. He was in the hospital now, and could I please come quickly because she couldn't handle this with three kids. As I hung up the phone, I sighed and resolved never to ask 'what could go wrong' again!
I was exhausted after coming home from the hospital. I went straight to bed and slept. . .
I woke up and found myself in a strange land. There were people bustling about everywhere. Each person pushing and shoving like pigs at a trough. Everyone only caring about what they had to do and where they had to go. I was shocked. How could people be like this? I mean, I did it all the time, but in public?? Oh, this was overwhelming. I decided I'd try to find some relief from this vast mass. It looked like there was a shopping plaza on down the road. Maybe I could find some coffee and a haven there. I was faced with only one problem-I didn't know how to get there. Not with this throng of people pushing about. I couldn't see a single transportation device besides my own two legs. I sighed. Could I possibly become one of them? I just couldn't bring myself so low, could I? I waited...and waited...and waited. I was getting hot, weary and frustrated. I couldn't take it anymore, this crowd was driving me insane. I looked around and saw a sliver of a spot to squeeze into. I quickly rushed in and started moving forward. Hmm, this wasn't as bad as I thought. It was sort of fun pushin' people around and going where I wanted to. Maybe I didn't want to stop at that shopping place after all. It didn't take long for me to get to the shopping center, but I was having so much fun, I almost missed it. I decided I did want to check out the place, so I managed to get away from the mesmerizing crowd long enough to grab a bench. After catching up with my breath(or my breath catching up with me; I never can tell which...), I suddenly realized what I had done. The horror of it! How could I have possibly done the very thing I despised?!? Feeling horrible, I stood up and looked around me, and the sight that my eyes beheld was breathtaking! My guilt-conscience thoughts vanished as I saw the tantalizing temptation before me--the biggest most alluring shopping place you have ever seen! One could spend years in there and still not see all of it! My whole body wanted to go in there, yet my spirit screamed, "NO!" I ignored my spiritual desires, and went right on in. I experienced the same fun and satisfying feelings that I had had when joining the pushy crowd. I tried on all the glamorous clothes, and prettied myself to my heart's content. I ate every good thing I could possibly smell; and, oh, I got everything my little heart desired. The rudeness and bustling that was in the crowd outside was here too. In fact, it seemed that half the crowd had stopped in here! I eventually got tired. Really tired. My body was sore not only from all the walking around I'd been doing, but also from all the shoving and pushing. I was sure I was going to have bruises somewhere. Then a thought flashed through my mind. I'm sure you've given not a few bruises yourself. I hung my head in shame. I got up and lethargically walked around. What was I doing here? What was my purpose? Why couldn't I just listen to the part of me that told me I shouldn't do something? I was just like all these obtrusive people. The only difference between me and them was that I hid myself behind a mask of self-righteousness instead of being blatant. Engrossed so much in my thoughts, I hadn't realized that everything around me had started getting dark and fading away. The whole world began turning into an abyss. An abyss that I started to slip and fall into. I screamed. . .

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a princess. She was a very beautiful princess, and everyone that knew her loved her very dearly. For she was a very sweet, kind and gentle young lady. This princess had dreams. Dreams that would take her far away from home, far away from all that she loved. But her dreams were her dreams and she wanted to fulfill them, but there was a catch. She had to get her father's permission before she could leave. So she told her father all about her dreams and how much she desired to go out and fulfill them. Her father smiled and told her to her to wait. So she waited...and waited...and waited. Days, weeks, a month passed. She was starting to get impatient and thought maybe she should remind her father about the adventure she wanted to take. On the exact day she had made the decision to remind her father, he came into her room in the early morning while she was still in bed and sat down beside her. She sat up. Her father heaved a sigh and gave her a tender look. "My dear daughter, I have mulled over it and have stayed up late into the night these past few weeks praying over your dreams, and I have decided it's best that you do not go." The princess turned her face away and tears started to stream down her cheeks. She looked back at her father and saw mixed emotions of pain and love in his eyes. He said, "I know this hurts, but you will look back over this and see what a beautiful imprint it has made in the pottery of your life." The princess loved her father dearly, and she knew that he knew what was best for her. He had never been wrong or led her astray for as long as she'd known him, and that had been her entire life. Her emotions were so confusing. She hurt, yet knew everything was going to be alright. She was confused, but knew that there was understanding in trust. Her mind was chaotic but her heart was at peace. She smiled softly at him and with tears still coursing her face, she said, "Father, your will be done." She clung to him tightly and didn't let go.

Three weeks ago I was on an overnight, long-haul Emirates flight that hit turbulence somewhere over the Indian Ocean. Even the crew were told to strap in.
After repeating my usual mantra of "cobbled street, cobbled street" for a bit, I realised that this was going to go on a while. I was shivering uncontrollably and feeling a rising anxiety. It didn't help that I was in a seat on my own, away from the family.
Then I remembered how tired the captain had sounded when he made his pre-take off announcements. This wasn't good.
Time to go to Defcon 3 – Meditation. I've often found a good tactic is to take long, very slow breaths and count them in rounds of ten. I counted four lots of ten, and another five, before the worst of it was over. About 20-30 minutes in total. (The counting is a distraction from thinking about either the imminent crash dive or the sharks circling in the water below.)
After the turbulence started to ease off, I looked around me to share the relief only to find everyone around me fast asleep.
This is what is so utterly annoying about fear of flying. It's a private hell.
Still, there and then, I decided I'd never fly again.
It's three weeks later. I'm at Gate 52 at Manchester Airport. It's 6.20am and I'm about to board the flight I promised myself I would never get on.
Because although during that seemingly endless half an hour of turbulence, I was ready to cough up for a Eurostar ticket and a TGV down to the south of France to visit family, once my feet were on firm ground, my irrational fears seemed ridiculous and laughable.
Besides, how cowardly would I be to back out now? For the rest of my days, I would be forced to look back at this moment and see it as a yellow-bellied turning point in my life when I finally gave in to my fears. Worse than that, I could pretty much say goodbye to my travel adventures and writing work.
There was another factor. Bmibaby were offering to fly us anywhere on their network for free. How churlish would it be to turn that down? Especially when all they were asking was that we went and had a great time and blogged a bit about the trip.
It's hard to explain fear of flying to anyone who doesn't have it.
The anticipation of flying can be crippling, wiping out all enjoyment until you land. There are crash dreams ahead of time and imaginary or media images of crash sites that pop into your head mid-flight.
But that's just the start of it. I personally check the plane's exterior for cracks in the fuselage before boarding. I also run-through all members of my family as the plane powers up down the runway to the point of no return – just in case.
Uncalled for, I remember Concorde, Lockerbie, 9-11, last month's plane crash in Nepal.
I cross my fingers, fidget and say a prayer to the Catholic god of my childhood.
After take-off, I count 22 minutes until I feel safe – the time of a crash I once heard about on the news.
I uncross my fingers, and have to sit straight up in my seat, while simultaneously craning my neck out of the window to see that we are actually moving forward. My ears are on animal alert for changes in engine noise.
Talking with other passengers or even my own co-travellers is an annoying distraction as it breaks my concentration. But books and magazines aren't engaging enough for my crash-focused brain. I remember Red Dwarf's emergency procedures of taking out airline magazines and intently reading features on, for example, Turkey's blossoming wine industry.
Since 2001 and a bereavement, I've also taken Valium to get me on the plane.
It's horrible the emotional wringer flying puts me through. And it's exhausting.
Fortunately, there is a 'but'…
I think it is important to keep facing this phobia and not to let it shut me down. So despite everything I still get on the plane.
I do this knowing the fear will be gone once I'm there. And the nausea will be forgotten – at least until next time. I've probably failed in explaining how debilitating it can be, but it is what it is, and I have to deal with it.
So here I go again. A travel journalist with a phobia of flying.
Ironic, isn't it.
Kiss the captain! A big, big thankyou to Captain Mark Dixon of BMIbaby, who navigated high cross winds on takeoff to cruise us smoothly onward to Toulouse, landing the plane safely an hour and 35 minutes later. Now at last I can enjoy the holiday.
As if there was anything to be worried about really. 🙂
And thankyou to also to Bmibaby.com, who have sponsored this trip. Trip info and prices to come in a future post.
Meanwhile here are some photos I took of the transfer from Birmingham to Manchester Airport at 3am today (now shifted to a separate post 'Every journey starts with an airport transfer') – it's time to feature all the bits that a travel writer rarely covers.
How nice is Toulouse Airport, for example!

1. "We're in the cross hairs like never before."
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, the federal agency that administers Medicare and other health programs, got smacked with cuts early this month as lawmakers failed to avert the sequester, $1.2 trillion in spending cuts designed to help trim the country's budget deficit. Hospitals and doctors face 2% cuts in the amounts that Medicare reimburses them for services rendered to recipients—cuts of $10.7 billion this year and $118.8 billion over nine years, according to a report by consulting firm Tripp Umbach.
While patients themselves won't see any direct reduction in their benefits, experts say the ripple effects of the sequester could indeed hit older Americans. Doctors and hospitals had warned that their industries would have to slash more than 200,000 jobs this year alone if the sequester went through.
"It would be disingenuous to think that, if the job losses are that severe, beneficiaries wouldn't feel it," says Jeff Smith, assistant director of public policy at the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, a professional organization for senior hospital information technology professionals. Beneficiaries could face longer wait times for appointments or any number of other negative consequences if those job losses happen, Smith says.
Even if lawmakers were to restore the cuts, Medicare would remain in their sights, experts say. "Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, the fact of the matter is that something's got to give," says Ross Blair, CEO of PlanPrescriber.com, a Medicare division of eHealth, an online health insurance marketplace. Current and future projected rates of spending, Blair says, are "unsustainable." The federal insurance program—which covers 49 million Americans, those ages 65-plus and those of any age with disabilities—accounts for 16% of federal spending, or $551 billion in 2012.
To be sure, spending cuts to the popular program won't come easy. While far from perfect, Medicare has provided vital coverage to hundreds of millions since its inception in the mid-1960s, experts say. "Medicare is more than a line item in the budget," says Stuart Guterman, executive director of the Commission on a High Performance Health System at the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation. "It's one of the most successful programs ever."
CMS officials declined to comment on this issue. But as Jonathan Blum, deputy administrator and director of CMS's Center of Medicare, said when he spoke about health-care delivery-system reform before the Senate Committee on Finance in February, CMS "has been working diligently to implement the changes and innovations" that lawmakers outlined in President Obama's signature health-care legislation, the Affordable Care Act. CMS "has already made real progress, demonstrated by decreasing readmissions to hospitals and a reduced growth in Medicare costs," Blum said.

I have an iPhone 3G and I may be upgrading to an iPhone 4 tonight. I'm on AT&T. Once I get up and running on iPhone development, I'm thinking I want to keep the old phone around to test how apps run on the older, slower phone.
After moving to the new phone exactly how does the process with the old phone work? As in, is it now just a phone without a SIM card (so, an iPod Touch essentially)? Do I have to jailbreak it to keep it active? Is there anything else to look out for?
This might be a "duh" question so go ahead and close it if it is.

Posted By Ann Rabinowitz
The other day, I received a message from FamilyTreeDNA that I had a new mtDNA or maternal match. The person matched in the basic HVR1 test for maternal ancestry that I had taken. I thought there might be a chance of a connection and contacted the person, who turned out to be Max Blankfeld, Vice-President of FamilyTreeDNA, which is a partner with JewishGen in genetic research.
Upon discussing our families, we could not find a definite connection at all as there was no common last name and no common shtetl or country. His maternal family (Kuper and Neuman) came from Pinsk and Lakhva, Belarus, and mine (Oxenberg and Schubert) from Boryslaw and Drohobycz, Ukraine, but we agree to keep looking. Perhaps the connection was further back than we had records for.
It is always difficult to document one's female ancestor's as very often there are no records or family history, especially of maiden names. This was certainly the case of my great great grandmother Gitlia Schubert whose maiden name was unknown.
In passing, I mentioned to Max that I was familiar with his paternal Blankfield name from South Africa and he acknowledged that he had family there. He said that finding them was his DNA success story. I always love success stories, so asked for Max's story which he provided from an interview he gave to Blaine Bettinger, the author of "The Genetic Genealogist", a blog founded in 2007.
I certainly did test, in 2000, and while the results did not surprise me, it helped find and confirm distant relationships, and also gave me very close matches with people that I was not aware of.
So here's my DNA break through: in 1983, when I was still in Brazil, our family received a letter from a Blankfield living in Australia, where he gave us some of his genealogy and asked if we could possibly be related. The problem was that my father passed away in 1981, and never discussed very much his family with me because he was a Holocaust survivor, and both parents and sisters were murdered by the Nazis in 1942. So, I didn't have any facts to check against that letter. I kept the letter in the drawer.
Fast forward to the year 2000, and the start of genetic genealogy. I start looking for Blank(en)f(i)elds to be test. Saul Issroff, an avid genealogist from England tells me that he's related to some Blankfields in South Africa, and gives me the name of a female Blankfield. She convinces her father to be tested. High expectations. Results come in and bingo - very close match. I ask for their family tree and guess what - that man from Australia is in that tree! We put together both trees, and it looks like we shared the same great-great-great-great-grandfather! (I must say that I had a previous attempt with another Blankfield that did not show a relationship).
(Eli Blankenfeld, between his sisters, 2nd from right, top row, his father Motel Blankenfeld, 4th from right, second from top row, his mother to left of father)
(Eli Blankenfeld, between his sisters, 2nd from right, top row, his father Motel Blankenfeld, 4th from right, second from top row, his mother to left of father)
After relating this story to me, Max further stated that the man in Australia had passed away since then and that his son Mark had later contacted him, but he had lost his information. He certainly wanted to be in contact with Mark again. Given this, I decided to check out several resources and see if I could locate the missing Mark.
- JewishGen Family Finder - First, I checked out the JewishGen Family Finder and noted that there were numerous researchers looking for Max's last name or its variants, but neither Max nor Mark were registered as being amongst them. This is a further incentive for those of you who have not signed up with the JewishGen Family Finder to do so.
- Facebook - Subsequently, I looked on Facebook and, again, no Mark appeared, but a number of individuals did exist with the same last name. Evidently, they were not genealogists as they had not been listed in the JewishGen Family Finder.
- Google - The next step was to check out the Internet and I Googled Mark's name and found a Mark in several references along with his wife Hilary, but with no contact information.
- Skype - Thereupon, I used Skype to make free calls to friends and relatives in Australia, who were formerly from South Africa, to see if they knew Mark. One of my relatives told me that there was no one in Sydney, Australia, with that last name and that Mark must live in one of the other major towns where South Africans had settled such as Melbourne, Perth, or Adelaide, for instance.
- Australian White Pages - Given that, I also made use of the Australian White Pages which provides residential, commercial and governmental phone listings and postcodes in Australia.There I found fourteen listings for Max's last name and its variants, all with only first initials of the first name. As I knew that I was looking for a Mark and possibly a Hilary, I carefully searched these listings. Success! There was an M & H listed in Melbourne.
Hoping that they would uncover additional relatives, I gave Max the links to the individuals I had found who were searching their family names. They will now have further means of locating their relatives and getting them DNA-tested as well to ensure that they are actually related and aren't just individuals with the same last name.
This is where DNA can be quite helpful as there may be cases in the past where families had the same common Jewish family name, or took on different names for various reasons such as changing their names when marrying, shortening their names from something else, or changing their names because of possible military conscription. All of these things can make locating relatives quite complicated.
And so ends this particular DNA success story, for the moment. It took not only getting tested to obtain results, but some good old-fashioned genealogical sleuthing too to make it all happen. Remember that the next time you have an inkling to find your ancestors and their descendants via DNA.
NOTE: Please keep reading the Blog for DNA-related success stories which will be forthcoming on a regular basis in the very near future.

Memory Monday: My Playhouse
Where I made out like a bandit was in the area of anything for a kid to play in, on, or with that could be constructed from wood. When I was probably still a toddler my father built a toy box for me. It was painted red and designed to look like a circus wagon, with appliquéd animals and a fancy carved border around the top. And it had wheels and a handle, so I could pull it around. All of my toys fit into it easily. And best of all, when we lived in a house that had a deep yard with lots of open space, my father built me a play house. It was also painted red. It probably wasn't more than 8' x 10', and possibly less, but it seemed plenty big to my friends and me. We would even use the extra wood blocks to mark out separate "rooms" in the house. It had a door in the middle of the front with a window on either side, and a window on each side. The back was solid. To the left was a sandy area bordered by a mulberry tree and apricot tree (this was in Southern California) where my friends and I would play variations on Swiss Family Robinson and Beach Bums (who also lived on a deserted island and built their own house; a lot of my neighborhood playmates were boys who didn't seem to know who the Swiss Family Robinson were, so I think I just ended up saying, "Well, then, pretend we're beach bums").
There were a couple of times when I could not play in the playhouse; those were the two times that our German Shepard Trina had puppies. She always went to the playhouse to have her puppies and we could fix it up to keep her and the puppies warm and comfortable.
On the right side of the playhouse was our vegetable garden. When I was given a few plants of my own to take care of, I decided the playhouse would be a farm house and I was the farmer. That may have been when my love of gardening started.
On the other side of the garden was the garage-cum-workshop that my father built for himself. I can still remember him sawing and hammering wood in there while I played in my playhouse. I would go in to get whatever scraps I could to furnish my little house. To this day one of the smells I most love is the smell of newly sawed wood.

Lucky to have your own playhouse! Great memories to have.ReplyDelete
I too loved the Swiss Family Robinson - the novel. I remember bashing iris stems on the sidewalk to try making paper. Long time since I thought of that. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, did your post ever bring back memories for me! The boys up the hill from me had a playhouse, too, and I swear we were in that thing from dawn until dusk when we were kids. I seem to remember even trying to "camp out" all night in it once, but we gave up when we got too cold and scared! It's wonderful to have such great memories of playing outdoors. Thank you for this!ReplyDelete
Your playhouse sounds like a wonderful place to have visited. Do you have any photos of it?
One family down the street had a playhouse and we all played there. That fact that they could afford on made us all feel that their family must be much wealthier than the rest of us!ReplyDelete

Thank you all so much for your comments. It's good to hear how much fun you had in playhouses, too. Oh, the ingenuity of Swiss Family Robinson. That was the neat thing about playing that game in the yard - all the materials were there! And it was possible to spend a whole day there - didn't really need most of those toys I thought I was missing. Dru, you remind me - I need to go through my old family photos to see if the playhouse is in any of them. In the playhouse, we could be castaways, farmers, or anything....

Question: My maternal grandparents own farmland in Iowa, and my uncle and cousin farm their land. My father and I worked on the farm until my parents divorced several years ago. Now, my father and I are farming together and I've discovered my own passion for farming. Recently,
I approached my grandfather about renting some of his land. He didn't think that was a good idea, adding that my mother and presumably myself are not entitled to the property because of the divorce.
My grandparents are in their 80s. I want to rent their land to provide them with retirement income while growing my operation. Right now, my uncle and cousin are reaping all the rewards of the family farm. My grandparents said my interest took them by surprise. I don't want to be a burden, but I do feel my points need to be addressed. How do I get my grandparents to act fairly so my uncle and cousin can continue to farm and I can farm also?
Answer: Though you didn't say how long your uncle and cousin have been renting your grandparents' farm, I assume it's been for a while. If so, you might have to wait until an opportunity is available. Keep in mind that "fair" might mean your grandparents honoring the tenant-landlord relationship with your uncle and cousin.
If so, I suggest you seek other land-lease opportunities. Don't get so hung up on family issues that you miss other chances to grow your business.
When the land becomes available, approach your grandparents again. Request a meeting to discuss renting the family farm. The following guidelines might help: A family meeting should be scheduled with start and end times and follow a written agenda. At the first meeting, establish ground rules—family meetings can strain relationships, but ground rules allow participants to agree on acceptable behaviors. Specific actions might be assigned to respective parties before subsequent meetings. Each meeting should conclude with an agreement on the next steps.
You will do more harm than good in dredging up the past regarding your parents' divorce and looking for evidence of unfairness. Act in a mature fashion, like a business owner, and treat your grandparents with the respect you'd give to an unrelated landlord. Share your business plan, showing how a rental agreement will mutually benefit you and them.
If you don't have a business plan, now is a good time to write one. Include:
- Vision—A description of your operation when it's complete.
- Specific goals—Short- and long-range goals defining the results the business plan is designed to achieve.
- Action plan—A strategy to achieve each one of your goals.
- Business systems—An explanation of how you will manage the farm, make decisions and involve others.
- Budgets—Financial projections are the basis for making decisions. Budgets should be conservative and reflect the aptitudes of the owner and farm.
In the meeting with your grandparents, focus on your objective: to rent land to grow your operation. I recommend you invite your dad, uncle and cousin to participate in the discussion. When included, most active/interested family members will help to devise workable solutions.
The reverse might also be true: When not included, active family members might not be inclined to help. I recommend you record the meeting—transcripts allow for easy review and agreement about what was said by whom and when.
If the initial answer is not positive, wait a few weeks and then approach the subject again. "No" could just mean "not yet." Be patient, and continue to hone your skills in the meantime.

Recon, held annually in Montreal, Canada, has a reputation for being one of the best technical security conferences in the world. I was once again privileged to attend Recon (June 21-23) and this year's conference did not disappoint.
Slides from the conference are up here on the conference Web site. As a security defender, I especially enjoyed learning about the innards of EMET 4.0 from Elias Bachaalany of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). Christopher Domas's talk on using visualization for reverse engineering will strike a chord with anyone who has thought about using the human brain's formidable pattern-recognition capabilities for sifting through masses of data — in this case, binary data.
Recon is known for assembling researchers from the US, Canada, Europe, and many other parts of the world and it was fun, as always, to engage in conversations with friends, colleagues, partners, and the independent research community.
Vieux-Montréal (Old Montreal) is a 15-minute walk away from the conference venue and at sunset it is more than pleasant there:
Until belle Montreal beckons again!

I guess I can tell you about my Gnome Sorceress named Karanym who currently is drifting on the open sea towards some .Island or other in the forgotten realms (i can't remember which one) attempting to help her party sneak into a big big prison so they can free an innocent man before he is hanged and then prove that the real guilty party is guilty. Intense stuff.

Russia insists stance on Syria unchanged
MOSCOW A day after a senior Russian official was widely quoted as saying that Syria's President Bashar Assad was losing control, Russia's Foreign Ministry on Friday rolled back on his assessment by insisting that Moscow's stance on the crisis hasn't shifted.
Russia's pointman on Syria, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, was quoted by three Russian news agencies, two of them state-owned, telling a Kremlin advisory body on Thursday that "there is a trend for the government to progressively lose control over an increasing part of the territory," adding that "an opposition victory can't be excluded."
But the Foreign Ministry insisted in a statement Friday that Bogdanov only was referring to the claims of the "Syrian opposition and its foreign sponsors forecasting their quick victory over the regime in Damascus."
- Panetta signs off on Patriots, troops for Turkey
- Russia acknowledges Assad could lose to rebels
- Clinton: Patriot missile move a message to Syria
"In that context, Bogdanov again confirmed Russia's principled stance that a political settlement in Syria has no alternative," the ministry's spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich said in the statement.
Bogdanov was speaking before the Public Chamber, a Kremlin advisory body. His statement quoted by Russian news agencies marked the first official acknowledgment from Moscow that Assad's regime may fall and was certain to be seen as a betrayal by the Syrian ruler, further eroding his grip on power amid the opposition successes on the ground and a recognition of the Syrian opposition by the United States and other leading world powers.
Bogdanov's comments were quoted verbatim by state-owned Russian news agencies RIA Novosti and ITAR-Tass, and also by Interfax. The Foreign Ministry on Thursday turned down the AP's interview request.
The ministry's denial came about 22 hours later, a long delay after the minister's remarks were reported by Russian and international media and drew worldwide reaction.
Russia has joined with China at the United Nations Security Council to veto three resolutions that would have imposed sanctions on Assad's regime over its bloody crackdown on the uprising that began in March 2011. Moscow also has continued to provide the Syrian government with weapons despite strong international protests.
The U.S. later on Thursday commended Russia for "waking up to the reality" by acknowledging the Syrian regime's impending fall.
Analysts viewed Bogdanov's statement as Russia's attempt to begin positioning itself for Assad's eventual defeat.

Bold wire saw project with SpeedCut
Bohus Bergsprängning has created a 22-meter deep shaft and a 7-meter long cross tunnel in Röda Sten in Gothenburg. The shaft was made entirely without blasting, instead using a wire saw from Atlas Copco.
June 20, 2016
Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, USA, William A. Hazel, Inc. is a premiere total site development contractor. They encountered hard rock while working on infrastructure projects to support a population surge in the Washington, D.C., area. Since their drill bits were not giving them the longevity they desired, the company granted a request by Atlas Copco to field test Powerbit top hammer drill bits.
"We hoped to see something with double the life, but we were getting way more than that from the Powerbits. They have excellent wear characteristics"
Typical patterns for the test consisted of 25 to 30 blastholes, 89-mm (3 ½ in.) in diameter and drilled with T45 to a depth of 3 meters (10 ft). Several feet of soil overburden were left in place as stemming material over diabase rated with a hardness of 275 MPa (40,000 psi). Maintaining hole diameter to the hole bottom is crucial, as booster cartridges are 70 mm (2.75 in.) in diameter, leaving an annulus of only 9.5 mm (⅜ in.) for emulsion-type explosives. Gauge retention during bit life is a priority concern, affecting precise booster placement, consistency in hole charging, and even fracture size and overall effectiveness of the shot. Such shallow drilling requires drillers to be "in and out" of holes in rapid succession. Insufficient time is allowed in the hole for flushing air to cool the drill string, resulting in excessive heat that leads to shortened tool life. Drill rigs used in the test represented several leading manufacturers. Each rig was assigned one 89 mm Powerbit. The Powerbit was not engineered as an improvement on existing designs but instead as a design and research project from scratch, using input from customers at the onset. The bit body steel grade and the button materials were developed with longevity and high quality in mind. William A. Hazel, Inc. sought a bit whose price was comparable to its currently favored, non-Atlas Copco bit but would exceed that bit's 120 m (400 ft) average service life in the diabase by at least twice the footage: 240 m (800 ft). The Powerbit often tripled the footage of their average bit, exceeding 365 m (1,200 ft), yet effectively maintained its 89-mm gauge in each case. There were no bit failures during the testing period.
Epiroc operated under the trademark "Atlas Copco" prior to January 1, 2018.

Rascal Flatts Turn Back Time in 'Rewind' Music Video
There are some moments that you just want to experience again and again -- and Rascal Flatts' 'Rewind' video does just that, reliving a romantic date and goodnight kisses over and over.
The two stars of the video, a mop-headed brunette guy and a gorgeous brown-haired gal, kick off the storyline as they say goodnight at the end of a date. They both appear to be pretty lovestruck, evidenced by the adoring gazes that happen as they bid farewell for the evening.
As the guy walks back to his truck, an idea percolates in his mind. Apparently, inside his pickup is a cassette tape that controls time -- he has the ability to 'rewind' their magical date. So, just like anyone crazy in love would do, the boyfriend hits rewind and heads back to the beginning of the night, starting off with bringing the beauty a bouquet of flowers.
Throughout their time together, the couple sits in the back of a pickup truck, drinks red wine and basks in the sparks that are flying between them. However, things go a little awry when the cassette's tape is jumbled and the unlucky guy finds himself alone in the truck bed. Thanks to a trusty pencil, he's able to twist the tape back into submission (as every cassette listener remembers doing that a time or two) and get right back on track.
After a goodnight kiss that obviously has him seeing stars, he races back to his truck to replay the night (or maybe just that kiss!) again. Throughout the 'Rewind' music video, the Flatts are playing in an open space with crowds of people walking backwards, helping it feel like everything is indeed rewinding.

I had the very same speculation. We would probably be complaining about worshipers of the Gods then.

2013 and Earlier - Toyota Prius Prices Paid and Buying Experiences
anhdao Posts: 4You can try appraising your prius on Edmunds here - http://www.edmunds.com/toyota/prius/2011/tmv-appraise.html?style=101363295&sub=h- atchback#step00
mokiavelli Posts: 58Like ja22 said, since you already did the deal, what anyone says doesn't matter. As an FYI, on a lease so close to the end, you don't really get upside down. The worst case scenario is you finish your 3 payments, pay the mileage overage and turn the car in. Then go lease another car after you turn the car in, with a clean slate. If you do drive 20,000 miles a year, you may consider buying instead of leasing. On your lease, not including the $4k down, in 3 years, you paid about $15k on a $24k car. Will the Prius be worth more that $9k after 3 years?0
dharmapunker Posts: 1Just got a 2012 Plug In Base.
$500 down
429.56 per month for 36 mo's.
12,000 miles per year.
W/ aftermarket leather installed in the deal.
TFS keeps the $2500 tax credit but CA gives a $1500 state credit. (to leasee)
I spoke to many salesman and many think the lessee gets all this credit and some think leasee gets none.
Go to http://energycenter.org to claim your CA rebate.0
songcar Posts: 1Just bought a silver Prius III for OTD (out of door total including tax everything) 263k at an east bay Toyota dealership.
We tested drive at Sunnyvale toyota and its price is $24,888 (willing to talk in the range one or two thundreds). We moved on to start the internet shopping as we made mind to take Prius III with base.
Most shops reply in one hour, pretty quick. Among about 10 dealerships (including Dublin Toyota which someone claimed OTD 255k in july), about half offers under 270k OTD. I was trying to bargain and failed. Most of them sticks to its original saying, not willing to play. The 263k was pretty much the initial offer. I was surprised that no dealer wanted to work on the price.
I figured 263 OTD is a deal probably not the best. We decided to go get it.
Reminder, always ask/talk OTD price (rather those 23888 before tax).
Also, prepare for buying lojack, maintainence program, extented warranty,...0
searlait Posts: 5Anyone on here bought a Prius V base model recently? I am having a hard time finding other's accounts of OTD pricing for these models, preferably in Texas. Thanks!0
I just brought Winter Gray Prius II with Price: $21900
Dealer fee: $ 400
SC Tax : $ 300 (Flat)
Title & Regi : $ 100 (approx)
Total OTD paid: $22700. Is this good price. Car included mats, carpets, tinted glass option plus Bronze modling at door. is this good price for south carolina ?0
bhushan1 Posts: 1yes. it is. which dealer?0
priustwo Posts: 3That's a very good price in South Carolina. I live in Columbia. I'm not quite ready to buy a new Prius Two, but I have been talking to a few dealers. I know that I can get one for invoice, but I want to better than that. Which dealership gave you this deal? Thanks in advance.0
about to buy a 2012 winter gray metalic Prius Two
For 25700 OTD (everything included, tax and what not)
is this a good deal in Southern California??
Please somebody help!!0
Yes you can do better than invoice. We just bought a brand new Prius II (black/gray interior with factory options of mats and chrome door moldings) for about $1,000 under invoice plus tinted windows thrown in. Trick seems to be choosing one that's been on the lot over 90 days.0
How are ppl getting Prius II OTD under 23000!?!?!?
Lowest I can get right now is 25000!!!
Daveedward toyota of spartanburg0
You can do better. Mossy in San Diego will sell any color other than blizzard pearl at 24,389 OTD. 25,700 seems high. May be worth it for you to take the drive? Most people that get really low prices have much lower tax rates than CA so it is hard to replicate that OTD price. But you can get the car for around 22k before everything if you just shop around.0
miket14 Posts: 1Just got an offered form a dealership for $21,733 for a honda prius 2. Sounds like a good deal but with tax + car alarm(695) + registration fees + 5% apr(4000down and [email protected] months) first time buyer it seems the total came out to be like $27,000 for a honda prius 2 for first time buyer. Do you guys think its worth it?0
I'd love to have Steve negotiate for me! I just bought a Prius IV (with solar package).
Sticker price was $33,193. Invoice was $31,163. Offered $30,400 and he let me walk out the door (no call back).
Went back and the lowest I could get him to was $31,500 (said he had to make "something" -- although I know they make $ even below invoice). However, I really wanted that exact color/seat combo so took it. Over and above $31,500 was tax and license plate fees (nothing else).
Loving it so far!0
Knowing that they wouldn't budge then why didn't you contact another dealer and just say "If you beat $X, I'll buy the car from you "?
So was it a Honda or was it a Prius? Because it can't be both....0
When I say we paid around 23k, yes that's "out the door", but we pay taxes and plates later at the DMV, when we register the car. So we still have that expense ahead, however I have also sold a couple vehicles recently (privately) and we do get "credit" for those full amounts off the price of the new car. So luckily I will only pay taxes on maybe 5k.0
I did. Went to another local dealership and they said they said they could beat the price by only $150 less-- but they didn't have the exact car I wanted in stock.
When I told them I was in no rush and could wait if they'd come down more- they said they couldn't. Guess I could have shopped around on the internet and saved some more $ , but I wanted to buy the car locally so made the deal.0
I knew better than to buy an extended warranty from the dealership when I bought my Prius IV, but I'm curious to know if others have purchased one. I did get the top of the line IV with the solar package. FYI, the finance manager quoted me an OUTRAGEOUS NUMBER-- $2,500 for 5 years/125K miles ("kindly" offered to throw in LoJack for that price).
I am wondering if:
a) it's not worth it at all (or if the gold package is just as good)
b) shop online for best deal now (I saw "Jerry" at Midwest Toyota offers competitive prices)
c) if I should wait until I'm near the end of my 3 warranty and see how it goes then.
Any advice?0
Some people are warranty people some aren't. Personally I would prefer to not have it since the hybrid battery and transmission are covered anyway and the warranty does not cover those items. If you look on slickdeals they discuss dealers that will sell these to you at half price. Obviously you don't need to buy it from the same dealer you bought the car. If you read the thread over there you can see the arguments for it and arguments against it. It seems more times than not though any issues you may have are maintenance related and won't actually be covered by the additional warranty.0
wcs3 Posts: 1I am starting to shop for a Prius III base and also went to SV Toyota where they quoted a price of $24888 and OTD $27333. Can you share with me which east bay dealership you went to? Thank you!0
sticker was $29,700 including the BS SE Toyota $895 charge and the dealer prep of another $795 so I offered $25k out the door after dickering back and forth we got down to $25,700 however they then tried to switch me to a lesser car for the same price...nice try, I walked0
Looking for a Prius 3 in either Grand Junction or Denver want $25k out the door....anyone can help?0
The is a big red flag here.
They should not try to charge a dealer prep fee.
Make them remove it or go elsewhere. Another dealer nickel and diming you.
tommyterrific Posts: 7Hi Everybody,
I went to a lot of trouble to post here, mostly because I found this site about a week before I bought and I saved a bundle, and hope I can help you to do the same.
We purchased a red Prius Two, with 2 miles on it. It included carpet mats AND cargo mat, and was listed for $25,239. Our purchase price, before TTL was $21,972. The key information here is that this represented a 13% reduction in price. I travel a lot and therefore could buy anywhere in the country. I tried many places recommended by this list, but was unable to find any sales significantly below this amount.
This was purchased from Earl Stewart Toyota in West Palm Beach, Fl., and was a cash purchase.0
Wow - that's over $1,000 less than we paid, and through my efforts and research, it's clear we got a great deal. Is there some other piece of info that led to such a low price? Hail damage? On the lot for waaaaay over 90 days? Some kind of loyalty discount program??0
blitz7619 Posts: 4Looking to purchase a 2012 prius 2 in northern Virginia. The best OTD I have received is for 21700. (inclusive of everything tax,tag,freight,processing fees...does not include carpet mat and cargo mat)..
Anyone in northern Virginia has a better OTD?
blizzard415 Posts: 1I just got a 2012 Toyota Prius five model in blizzard pearl for $28,445 plus fees. The sticker was 31,xxx. We feel like that was a good deal. Got it at City Toyota in Daly City on September 24th which is right before the $5 a gallon gas here in the SF Bay Area. $1,000 down and our 36 month lease is only $378 a month including wear and tear package from Toyota. Our mileage has been only about 38-39 mpg I know it's still breaking in but when do we start to see the increase in gas mileage? Also what are some good tire replacements for the Toyos that came on the five model? The Toyos seem kinda loud. Thanks in advance. Currently has 678 miles. Bought it with 15 miles0
bobw3 Posts: 2,992What about the extended warranty where they say they'll refund the full value if not used. This is coming from the dealer. Seems like if I never use it and get my money back, it's worth it in the case of a really big expense.0
