Water pipes lie underground therefore to repair them they need to dig, break roads and remove asphalt. Basically, I have no comment about the way they actually fixed the pipe but they never fixed the road after, NEVER! Hm, probably I know why - they are responsible only for pipes but not for the roads :)
Here is the chronology:
Day 1. They start digging.
Day 2. It starts raining and they stop working on pipe.
Day 3-4. Keeps on raining..
Day 5-6. Weekend.
Day 7. Bravo! They continued their work!
Day 8-9-10. Working, working, working
Day 11. The work is finished. Here is the result (what we have even now, 3 weeks later):

I used this screen as my first Arduino project and found the following Arduino playground page very helpful!
Note, that if the screen is still showing random characters that it is possible your program is fine and you just need to power cycle the board and screen.
No public wish lists :(

Last question! Love the trivia!ReplyDelete
This was fun and has made me realize that just reading Divergent once almost a year ago is not enough to answer your questions! I'll definitely need to re-read it sometime soon. But first I'll need to read Insurgent. Can't wait.ReplyDelete
That is sad. I love searching my brain for answers - that mostly refuse to come.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you'll leave me a comment. I read and appreciate each and every one and try my best to reply. Leave me a link to your blog or website!

Tatum moves around Alaska with her parents as they work different jobs while saving money to build their own lodge. Tatum's dream is to race her own dogsled in the Iditarod with her father. Although she has learned a lot by helping another racer take care of her dogs and listening to stories from veteran racers, it isn't possible for her to have her own dogs yet. Life is too uncertain with her father away much of the year working on the pipeline and Tatum and her mom living in different places. Because of the harsh surroundings, Tatum's mother is strict with her freedoms; a simple mistake can mean death. Unexpectedly, she finds herself the owner of Bandit, who is a retired sled dog. When an opportunity to go on a training run with a new friend presents itself, she can't resist despite her mother's warnings. When nothing goes as planned, Tatum finds out first-hand how unforgiving the Alaskan environment can be. Will she have the courage and skill to save herself and her dogs? Tatum and Bandit face the ultimate test of survival in this Alaskan tale.

A guy in my IDPA Club is a dealer and for club members, he gives dealer pricing. I got 4 sets of 5*11 Tactical pants for under $30 per pair. I'm in the process of getting a Galco gunbelt, the"concealable" model for about $60 (retail from Galco is $107). His is a startup operation at this moment, he is a fulltime "Financial Analyst" changing careers. His outfit is so new, even his web page is "under construction." But judging by my orders and the rest of the club's, he'll be going like gangbusters soon.Quote:

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to make an extra $100 per month?
What about $1,000 or even $10,000 extra per month?
Even though that may sound like a nice dream, for many people, it's a reality! And it could be for you as well.
How so? By developing something called "passive income" – ways to make as much money as possible by establishing systems that would do the work for me. If you're not familiar with that term, then click here to learn more about how passive income works.
For years I've been collecting and trying out lots of different passive income ideas. Some of them have worked with great success, adding as much as an extra five-figures per year to our annual household income. Of course, I'm not alone. The Internet is full of thousands of success stories of real people who are making money on the side – as much as four, five, and even six-figures per month!
Though nearly every idea will take a considerable amount of work up-front in the beginning, once you can get it to the point where your idea can function in auto-pilot, then you've got pure gold opportunity!
Want to know more?
Here is my actionable list of passive income ideas for you to give a try!
Passive Income Ideas That I Use:
Blogging / Affiliate Marketing: To date, blogging has been the biggest income generator of all my passive income ideas! I started this blog for less than $100 and it has since then generated thousands of dollars of side income!
You can get started blogging for super cheap using a great and inexpensive hosting service like Bluehost. We've got a complete guide with everything you need to know at this page here.
To build a blog that makes money is a lot like taking an empty piece of desert and turning it into something as busy and glamorous as Las Vegas. In other words – You need to make it a place that people actually want to go to.
Ideally once your blog has traffic and good Internet rankings, you'll find that several different types of income generating opportunities will present themselves to you. Here are the two most popular methods:
- Direct advertising: You'll start getting emails and solicitations from lots of marketers looking to work with you on their advertising campaigns.
- Affiliate marketing: More traffic leads to more people clicking ads on your site. Some of the common affiliate partners include Google Adsense, Amazon Affiliates, Commission Junction, Flex Offers, and Clickbank. There are also other avenues such as promoting products from Click Bank, eBooks from fellow bloggers, software, etc.
If you're looking for more, I highly suggest you check out the following books:
- "Problogger" by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett
- "The Six-Figure Second Income" by David Lindahl and Jonathan Rozek
- "Get Rich Click" by Marc Ostrofsky
Or if you'd prefer to hear my personal advice, you can read a few of my blogging tips that I've learned along the way.
Paid Surveys: Marketing companies are always in need of detailed information about what prospective customers are into. In return they'll often offer cash or rewards points just for taking the time to quickly fill out a short and simple 5 minute survey. It's about the easiest way I can think to make money for doing literally doing nothing more than clicking on a few boxes. Here's a really good link to find a huge list of paid surveys (note: access to the list costs a small one-time fee).
Dividend Income: What's better than owning a stock that goes up in price? One that also sends you quarterly dividend payments from the profits they make! Collect enough high quality stocks, space out the payments, and you can start receiving significant monthly income.
You can read all about which dividend paying stocks I own and why in this article here. Every quarter I publish a report of my dividend income and stock performance to see how well they are doing and how much money they are bringing me. My ultimate goal of course is to gain so many of them that the passive income I make them might some day replace my working income.
If you're just getting into dividend stocks and looking for something good to read, try:
- "The Ultimate Dividend Playbook" by Josh Peters and Morningstar Inc.
- "The Little Book of Big Dividends" by Charles B. Carlson
Licensing – If you've got a great camera for taking photos or love playing the newest guitars when you record your music, don't just let them sit around on your computer never to be seen or heard. You can license them on a royalty-free website where customers will pay you a fee to use for a publication, website, radio or TV ad, etc. Click here to learn more about how to sell your creations on iStockphoto.
Credit Card Cash Back and Rewards: If you're responsible with your credit cards and pay them off each month, then why not get paid for the things you're going to buy anyways like gas and groceries? All you need is a handful of cards with a variety of unique bonus rewards categories, and then you can use them to make four figures in a year! One good one I'd recommend is the Citi ThankYou Premier card. You can earn $500 in just 6 months!
More Ideas for Passive Income:
Peer-to-Peer Lending: Want to invest in dozens of people's dreams at once? As an alternative to borrowing money from banks, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has become an Internet platform where everyday people can loan money to other people. This is usually done at very high interest rates that you set. You also have access to the borrowers' credit rating and back story (reason for needing the money). In return for being the broker, the P2P lender takes a cut of the exchange. Two popular P2P companies are Lending Club and Prosper.
Free-Lance Writing: Do you know a lot about a subject but don't want to start your own website? Some popular sites like eHow or About.com pay contributors to write quality articles. As you become more well known, you can also get paid to write for popular blogs!
eBooks: If you really know a lot about a niche topic and believe you could write a lot of beneficial material to help someone, then why not create your own ebook? With the resources available today, you could easily put together something in MS Word or Google Docs, PDF it, and charge whatever you think someone will pay for it. Sell it through your own site or on a major distributor like Amazon, eBay, or ClickBank.
eProducts: Think you could put together some valuable tool or instructional product such as a DVD, software, podcast, technical paper, etc? If you do, you could sell it on your own website or on a well-known distributor such as eBay or ClickBank.
App Creation: Short for "application", apps are becoming a hot commodity with the rise of the smartphone industry. Most apps require less effort to produce than a full-scale software programs and can usually be outsourced for creation to a software programmer for relatively cheap. If you can get your app for sale on one of the popular app marketplaces such as Amazon or Apple, then you have an instant audience of interested customers.
Web Services: If you know how to do anything with websites, then you could sell your services using a technical consulting service broker such as Elance or 99designs. You could also do this over eBay or on your own through referral.
Niche Websites: Rather than start a big blog, try starting several smaller ones centered around specific keywords and topics. Use the sites to either generate completely passive income from advertising revenue such as Google Adense. Or you can sell the sites to the highest bidder on an auction site like Flippa.
Single Family Home Rental: A rental property is a staple among classic passive income ideas. As long as you can earn more from your rent income than what you pay on the mortgage, taxes, and bills, then you will have added income every month (for as long as your tenants pay their rent). Check out my exploration of this topic in How Much Money Would I Make If I Rented Out A House?
Apartment Leasing: Rather than leasing out one house at a time, how about collecting rent from +20 tenants at a time? This is one of the investment recommendations made by "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki and his wife Kim in their most recent book "Unfair Advantage". Robert Kiyosaki's advice has inspired other authors who also share in his endorsement and success with the apartment leasing revenue technique. Most notably, author George Antone of "The Wealthy Code" delivers a very descriptive how-to on acquiring residential real-estate and the advantages of using "leverage" (borrowing money at a lower rate than the rate of return you make on the investment) as part of this process.
Commercial Real Estate Leasing: Have you ever seen the show "19 Kids and Counting" on TLC? Have you ever wondered why Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle never seem to be at work and are always spending time with their 19 kids? It's because they own several commercial real-estate investments and live off of the revenue they generate (on top of what they make from you watching their show!). Just like people, some businesses find it more favorable to rent the building that they occupy rather than own it. Because of the size of the buildings and other factors, the stakes are usually much greater in owning commercial real estate than they are with single-family homes. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki and his wife Kim are big promoters of using commercial real estate and discuss many examples in their book "Unfair Advantage".
Bond Interest Payments (or Bond Ladders): Bonds are payments of debt upon which the interest is paid annually. Similar to dividends, strategies can be applied where a series of different types of bonds are purchased such that the interest adds up to significant monthly income. The book "Higher Returns from Safe Investments" by Marvin Appel describes some great techniques and also has a step-by-step explanation for setting up bond ladders.
CD Ladders: Certificates of Deposit (CD's) can also be laddered in a fashion similar to a bond ladder where various ones will mature (pay out) at different times and at varying interest rates. From my experience, Ally Bank usually has some of the highest rates available. On top of that, it is really easy to move your money in and out.
eBay: Everyone knows that if you've got some old stuff around the house, you should try to resell it on the popular Internet auction giant. But what about other techniques such as reselling niche and hard to find items, valuable products that may have been poorly posted, or selling for others for a percentage of the winnings. The books "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss and "Get Rich Click" by Marc Ostrofsky feature some unbelievable true stories about regular people who have gotten rich by using this strategy.
Etsy: A wedding I went to had the most beautiful hand-made and crafty decorations. Where did the copule get them all from? Etsy! Similar to eBay, try selling your crafts on Etsy to people who are looking for just those types of creations.
Drop Shipping: In the book "The 4-Hour Workweek", author Timothy Ferriss literally only works 4 hours a week (from his laptop while on exotic vacations) because he has designed an incredible automated system of selling products where all his transactions are fulfilled through drop shipping. Drop shipping is when someone orders something from you, and you turn around and have the product made and shipped directly to the customer. You never see, handle, or do anything with the product. As a seller, this is an incredible advantage because it means that you never have any inventory, overhead costs, storage costs, and very little liability. Once you have a product to sell, you could setup your own web page or setup a store on eBay or Amazon to capitalize on their already-established traffic.
Consulting: If you are really good at what you do (or at what you know) and can market yourself towards someone who really needs your service, consider performing consulting. Nothing beats good old fashion networking, and these days, networking has gone digital. Try LinkedIn to get started.
Small Business Owner: Comfortable with risk and have money to invest? Venture capitalists are always looking for people to partner with so that they can get their product or service off the ground. You could become a partner in opening a store, a restaurant, a real-estate purchase, or even the next Facebook. Just make sure you trust the people you invest in and get everything in writing!

We just returned from a week long road trip that started in Indiana and included stops in Asheville, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina and Greensboro, North Carolina. This was the longest driving vacation that we've ever done. For luggage we ended up taking the Biaggi bag that I reviewed last year along with the new Outback Duffel bag from WaterField Designs. With a total of over 1,000 miles and two hotels, let's see if the Outback Duffel was a worthy travel companion.
Note: Images can be clicked to view a larger size.
WaterField's new Outback Duffel is available in two sizes, two choices of material, three flap colors and with either a single or double compartment. I was sent their large size duffel in waxed canvas with chocolate brown leather pocket flaps and a double interior compartment.
Bag dimensions:
Small: 17.25 x 10.25 x 11 inches
Large: 21.5 x 10.75 x 12.5 inches
I'm a big fan of waxed canvas because I just love the look and feel of the material. You don't have to baby it like fancy leather bags because more you use it and beat it up, the better it looks. It's also a lot lighter weight than a leather bag of the same size.
My favorite style of every day bag is a messenger bag because they typically have one large compartment that can hold all your gear. So I was immediately comfortable using the duffel because it follows that same type of storage layout. As mentioned above, the Outback Duffel is available with either a single compartment or a double compartment. I decided to try the double compartment. The top of the duffel has two long zippers that provide access to each compartment.
The exterior of the duffel has two flapped pockets on one long side and an open pocket on each end.
The interior of the bag has WaterField's traditional gold colored lining that makes it easier to find objects at the bottom of the bag. The center wall that separates the two compartments is described by WaterField as being "billowy". This design allows both compartments of the bag to expand and contract as you add and remove objects from either side.
Duffel bags typically have very little in the way of organization features, but the Outback Duffel does offer a bit more than a standard duffel because it includes the four exterior pockets and a nice sized zippered pocket. The zippered pocket built into the dividing section of the double compartment style bag.
The two pockets on the front of the duffel are lined with a soft knit material on the front side of the pocket. This material makes the pockets perfect for holding small tablets, phones, book readers, etc. The leather flaps over these pockets have hidden magnets to hold them closed. I like the use of magnets as opposed to using Velcro or plastic clips, but I did notice that the pocket flaps would sometimes pop open when I would carry the bag using the two carry handles. I only noticed this when the bag was full and heavy.
The Outback Duffel can be carried using the two carry handles or with the included shoulder strap like you see here. The webbed strap attaches or detaches from the bag's metal D rings on each end.
The large sized duffel is a big bag, but it's not too big. For size reference, I'm 5'6″. I used it on our trip to hold a week's worth of socks, and underwear for two people in one side of the bag and books, 13″ Macbook Air, Nexus 7 tablet, iPad mini, Kindle Paperwhite ebook reader, two point and shoot cameras, cables, power adapters, pens and notebooks in the other side of the bag.
If I could add anything to the Outback Duffel, I'd probably add a long zippered pocket on exterior of the bag on the side opposite of the two flapped pockets. I would also consider adding either a leather or rubber bottom to the bag to protect it from icky / dirty surfaces.
During our road trip, this bag worked great. It was easy to move around from place to place and held everything we needed it to hold with room to spare. It will definitely go with us on our next road trip!
The Outback Duffel shares the same great construction and workmanship of every WaterField Designs bag, pouch and wallet that I've every used. If you buy one of these bags, you'll be using it for years and years to come and it will look and perform just as good as the first day you began using it.

Natural Gas Processing Plants in the United States: 2010 Update
Release Date:
Jun 17, 2011
This special report presents an analysis of natural gas processing plants in the United States as of 2009 and highlights characteristics of this segment of the industry. The purpose of the paper is to examine the role of natural gas processing plants in the natural gas supply chain and to provide an overview and summary of processing plant characteristics in the United States, such as locations, capacities, and operations.
Key Findings
- There were 493 operational natural gas processing plants in the United States with a combined operating capacity of 77 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day.
- Overall, operating capacity increased about 12 percent between 2004 and 2009, not including the processing capacity in Alaska1. At the same time, the number of all processing plants in the lower 48 States decreased by 41 or about 8 percent (not including the plants in Alaska).
- Between 2004 and 2009, the average plant capacity (excluding plants located in Alaska) increased from 114 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day to 139 MMcf per day. In Texas, although the number of plants decreased, the average capacity per plant increased from 95 MMcf per day to 121 MMcf per day as newer plants were added and older, less efficient plants were shut down.
- The largest 9 plants in the United States accounted for 31 percent of the country's total processing capacity.
- The total utilization rate in the United States averaged 66 percent of total capacity in 2009. Plants in Alaska ran at 86 percent of total capacity during the year, the highest capacity utilization rate in the country, followed by Texas at 83 percent.
- Between 2004 and 2009, the number of processing plants decreased in 15 of the 22 States with processing plants and increased in 3 States.
- The vast majority of processing plants were located in producing areas of the country, including Alaska, States in the Rocky Mountain region, and States along the Gulf of Mexico.
- Texas had the highest number of processing plants and the largest combined processing capacity of any State, with 163 plants and 19.7 Bcf per day of processing capacity, accounting for about 26 percent of the U.S. total.
- Texas and Louisiana accounted for nearly half of the total U.S. processing capacity, with the largest plants located along the coast.
- Alaska, which was not covered in EIA's 2006 report on gas processing, was the third largest State in the Union in terms of capacity, accounting for 9.5 Bcf per day or about 12 percent of the total.
- There were a total of 12 plants (including those located in the State of Alaska) with an operating capacity above 1 Bcf per day. Six of these 12 plants were located in Louisiana. The largest natural gas processing plant in terms of capacity was located in Alaska with an operating capacity of 8.5 Bcf per day.

That's kind of sick IMHO :crazy:
No thanks on the horse, but I wouldn't mind having his '64 Bonneville.
Sad actually, and I think there is a generation who don't know anything about Trigger, Roy or Dale Evans.
I've always heard they were super-fine people. Didn't they adopt about 12 children or so, during their marriage?
A guy like RR was just about the ultimate role model.
It seems like yesterday that Clint Black and RR did a music video together, though I can't remember the name of the song
I'll withhold any and all comments about "kicking a dead horse...."
Oddly, that horse is worth a whole lot more money dead than mine are alive. :blink: If I'm going to buy a horse, I better be able to ride it.
Whats the best way to Bar B Q a 45 year old horse
Holy crap! Trigger's dead?!!!
Think of the glue that never was....
Spent a lot of time with Roy, Trigger, and Dale while I was growing up! Roy was one of the best, loved children, stayed married to the same woman his entire life. He never had a scandal which surrounded him. He was a Master Mason, which is a good thing! I wish the kids today had such a role model.
YouTube - Marvel the Mustang commercial by Marx - 1969
I discovered the best thing about owning horses is selling 'em.
Clint and Roy's song/video was called 'Hold on Pardner'.
But Roy was so violent, brandishing weapons at all the bad guys. Much too poor of an example for kids theses days--especially with SpongeBob to look up to!

DeCamp Bus Line Workers Continue Strike
About 100 drivers, mechanics and garage personnel who work at a private New Jersey bus company plan to continue their strike. The workers walked out of DeCamp Bus Lines on Thursday over a contract dispute.
Jorge Maldonado, the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1317, says workers will continue striking throughout the weekend, and until at least Tuesday, when they're scheduled to meet with DeCamp management.
Maldonado says the union and DeCamp have been unable to agree on wages, salary caps, and pensions, and have been working without a contract for nearly a year.
DeCamp would not comment on ongoing negotiations. The company, which serves more than 75-hundred passengers a day, is posting service updates on its website. NJ Transit is not cross-honoring tickets, but has posted a resource guide for passengers seeking alternative routes.

4 High-Yield Brazil Stocks - 8372 views
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not represent the views of TheStreet or its management.
SAN FRANCISCO (Stockerblog) -- The four BRIC countries are Brazil, Russia, India and China, with Brazil being the leader of the group. Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world by both population and area and is the largest economy in Latin America. It is also the largest producer of ethanol in the world, which comes from sugarcane.
More From Stockpickr
Fortunately, there are plenty of Brazilian stocks available to U.S. investors. One source of information is the book I wrote a few years ago, Investing in Brazil Stocks. Another resource is my free list of Brazil stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.
Here are some from the list. Twenty of the stocks on the list pay dividends.
An example is Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID), the second-largest Brazilian steel manufacturer. The company is participating in the growth in the rebuilding of infrastructure and the demand for steel. The stock pays a yield of 4.8% and trades at 12 times forward earnings.
Vale (VALE) is the second-largest mining company in the world and the largest logistics operator in Brazil. The stock has a price-to-earnings ratio of 9, and a yield of 1.5%.
Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas (ABV), also known as AmBev, is a distributor of beer, soft drinks, sport drinks and bottled water. The stock has a P/E ratio of 19.6 and provides a yield of 4.8%.
CPFL Energia (CPL) is one of the largest electrical utilities in Brazil and has a P/E of 15. The yield is 4.3% based on historical dividend payments.
To see a list of Brazilian stocks that trade in the U.S., check out WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or Investing in Brazil Stocks.

Fred Fuld III, the publisher of stock and bond investing blog Stockerblog and founder of WallStreetNewsNetwork, has been in the financial services industry for over 20 years, working as an investment advisor, options market maker at the Pacific Stock Exchange, vice president of a San Francisco money management firm, university faculty member and wholesaler for the New Alternatives Fund (the first environmentally conscious mutual fund).

Obviously, as I stated on the evening of Friday April 16, the most critical indicator for the week of April 19 might just be the reaction to the SEC / Goldman Sachs news as Asian markets open Sunday evening April 18.
Clearly, if Friday's negative momentum extends into Asian trading, the early part of this week will have the U.S. capital markets on the defensive. A deeper decline in the S&P 500 Index will find support at the 21 day moving average @ 1181.34. Below 1180 selling could intensify toward the 50 day moving average @ 1140.56. However, we should know rather quickly if enough underlying support remains to reverse the bearish momentum from last Friday's trading session and takes the S&P 500 right back to its 52 week established on April 15 @ 1213.92.
Source: Bloomberg
The week of April 19 will have 36% of the S&P 500 Index reporting earnings. Clearly last week's earnings were highlighted by UPS' beat and raise. I point to UPS as further evidence the recovery is closer to a V than any other letter.
Let's get out of the way the one report everyone is talking about - at 8am on April 20 Goldman Sachs will release its earnings. More importantly, at 11am, the conference call begins - good luck getting on that one. Beyond the GS drama I am watching:
Monday April 19: Citigroup (C) and IBM
Tuesday April 20: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Regions Financial (RF)
Wednesday April 21: McDonalds (MCD), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Freeport McMoRan (FCX)
Thursday April 22: American Express (AXP), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN)
Friday April 22: Ford (F)
Let me summarize why I selected these names out of the 128 SP 500 companies reporting this week.
If you notice I didn't select any Energy names and yes we will receive a few Oil service and Coal names. But I know the story there, investors should as well. The fundamentals are sound and will remain sound.
The 11 names I selected above will provide us insight whether we are reaching "Earnings Exuberance Exhaustion".
Have companies such as F, MCD, AMZN, JNJ and IBM reached the point where the upside surprises in earnings just are out of gas, so to speak. I have also selected 4 critical Financials for the sole purpose of measuring the improvement in credit quality and provisions for further write downs. Finally FCX should answer several of the doubting questions surrounding what the real China story is.
Try and keep your read through of Earnings simple. Look for answers to the overwhelming questions that cast doubt on this recovery. Don't focus on what we already know. In addition, gauge the sentiment of the overall market to determine if we are collectively just getting "too giddy".
On the Economic front as always I anticipate Wednesday's Oil inventory report.
I am also watching Wednesday morning's MBA Mortgage Apps, which is beginning to weaken. Notice the average for the past year is -1.2, the past few weeks we have slipped below that marker. Worth watching, in particular with removal of Fed support for the MBS market. However, keep in mind Chairman Bernanke stated this week the Fed can step back in again at any point if the need arises to support the mortgage market again.

Initial Jobless Claims are also surprisingly headed the wrong way. On Thursday April 22 at 8:30am the consensus is for 450,000 claims versus last week's 484,000 claims. Notice the circle I have drawn on the chart below. Jobless claims are headed in the wrong direction. We need to keep the claims below 500,000.

Medieval and some Renaissance art routinely showed icons of the Synagogue and the Church under the figure of Jesus on the cross, accompanied by all sorts of symbols whose powerful messages were understood then but are commonly unknown now (goats' heads, oil lamps, staffs [broken or whole], banners, chalices, crowns, the 10 Commandments and others). Scriptural characters, too, were often displayed either under the cross or in proximate settings (Jacob's wives [Leah and Rachel], Mary, St. John, John the Baptist, Judas, etc.). Properly interpreted, all these symbol-laden works of art were heavily influential on the attitudes adopted toward Jews by the Christian masses, conditioning the mind set of millions in Europe, and possibly playing some role in allowing Europe to be caught unawares by the Holocaust.

The Business and Technology Ph.D. program is a full-time residential program. The program will focus on theory development and testing in areas relating to the management of five critical resources of any organization:
Curriculum & Requirements
The curriculum is comprised of 74 credits of coursework, including a minimum of 18 credits of business graduate coursework (see: Academic Prerequisites). It is expected that students will require a minimum four years to complete the program.
As is true of Ph.D. programs in any field, the primary focus of our program will be on research. The program has been designed to help students develop excellent research skills and the ability to conduct high quality scholarly research.
Moreover, because most of our doctoral students will pursue careers in academia, the program also emphasizes the development of pedagogical skills and a student's passion for teaching and ability to teach.
The program will require full-time participation of students. Learning outside the classroom under the guidance of faculty mentors will be a key component of doctoral education. Students can expect to invest 50 or more hours per week in classroom-related and outside the classroom learning activities. It will not be suitable for individuals seeking a part-time learning experience or for individuals seeking graduate distance education.
Financial aid is provided to all students admitted to the Ph.D. program. The financial aid package will include coverage of tuition fees and half-time assistantship stipend. The assistantship appointment will require students to work as a research or a teaching assistant.
For more information please visit Funding.
At the current time
We do not offer a PhD in Accounting or Finance

text: Most of the Brits with whom I have been able to discuss our laws as opposed to theirs with regard to gun ownership and armed self defense have seemed to think that we are just "hoot owl crazy" over here. There are exceptions of course and hopefully in numbers that will grow in time, but for those who love British law as it is now, well, they deserve what they support and vote for. I hope for better common sense for them the same as I wish it for California, New York, and Illinois.

'It's the wind chime capital of America," my brother-in-law told me as he walked my husband and me to our car before we set off for Asheville, N.C.
Ask a Carolinian about the city and they'll start rattling off brewpubs: Green Man, Thirsty Monk, Wicked Weed … names that put it in a league with craft-beer capitals such as Portland, Ore., and make you wonder if Asheville were founded by Trappist monks. Mention the city to an outsider, such as my Ohio-based brother-in-law, and you'll get a different description, making you wonder if it were settled by Dead Heads.
As we walked Asheville's snug downtown grid – to the promised sound of copper pipes tinkling in the breeze – we spotted other clues: bead stores, Peruvian bobble hats, a shop offering Himalayan salt lamps. And it seemed most of the locals were either plucking banjos for change or head-nodding to buskers while waiting for a brunch table.
Rolling Stone once described this Blue Ridge Mountain city as "America's new freak capital," and although that was nearly 15 years ago, a commitment to counterculture has kept this oasis in the hardscrabble Appalachian landscape, like its fellow beer hub Portland, weird.
Along with a thriving music scene, you'll find craft galleries, flea markets and bookshops retrofitted into art deco banks or old five-and-dime stores. The Mellow Mushroom pizza joint has a patio painted in psychedelic colours and a slogan that says "Feed your head." An old roadhouse west of downtown recently reopened as a live venue with events such as the "Xanax Square Dance." They named it the Odditorium.
The long, strange trip happened gradually for this city of 85,000. In 1927, the liberal arts Buncombe County College opened its doors (it's now the University of North Carolina at Asheville) and students were encouraged to be active in the community, a practice that prevails in the allotment gardens and tailgate markets that keep residents in wood-fired bread and organic mushrooms.
Fuelling this sense of community is the fact that Asheville is delightfully walkable. The River Arts District, for example, is only 15 minutes from downtown via the Chicken Hill neighbourhood, a rejuvenated mill community that is a model of Asheville's "new urbanism." The knot of streets on the hill released us near Riverside Studios and the Hatchery, the two anchors in a strip of 22 artists' studios in repurposed industrial buildings on the French Broad River.
A former auto body shop, Phil Mechanic, is now a gallery displaying pottery etched with poetry and floral bouquets sculpted with buttons – with the artists' workshops upstairs. Around back, on a boardwalk that skirts the river bank, we picked through jewellery and furniture made from recycled machine parts, and watched students at a glass-blowing clinic. At Curve, we explored potters' studios and a sculpture garden. All that art appreciation brought us happily to the patio at Wedge Brewing Co., where we sampled the house Derailed Hemp ale.
The city's fascination with arts and craft is laid out for all to see in the River Arts District, like catnip to the hippies and retirees who roam here. Asheville is home to the Southern Highland Craft Guild, which was formed in 1930 and is still one of the most influential promoters of grassroots art in the United States. In 1933, a group of radical academics collaborated with artists Josef and Anni Albers (instructors from Germany's Bauhaus institute, which had been shut by the Nazis) to set up Black Mountain College, an artists' retreat buried in the mountainscape east of Asheville. That campus is now a private boys' school, but you can visit a small satellite museum on Broadway, which exhibits the works of avant-garde artists in the vein of Willem de Kooning, a former instructor, and Robert Rauschenberg, a former student.
Another sort of art is on display just a two blocks further on Broadway Street, at Moog Music. To the untrained eye, it's a modest synthesizer showroom, but to Moog disciples it's music nirvana – the only place in the world you can try every Moog keyboard in production. The factory next door offers weekday tours. Outside, a two-storey mural features the late founder Bob Moog, the silver-haired godfather of prog rock and electronic music who made this city his home for 30 years. In the painting, he sports a lime-green shirt unbuttoned to the chest.
The Moog mystique is so powerful that it spawned an annual electronic music blow-out. This year's Moogfest runs April 23-27, with international headliners such as Kraftwerk, Chic, Giorgio Moroder and Laurie Anderson. Not bad for a city rooted in indigenous bluegrass.
Thanks in part to Moog, Asheville now boasts all kinds of live music, such as a junior Austin, Tex. The Orange Peel, a defunct roller-skating venue that reopened in 2002 as a music hall, had us rocking to honky-tonk. Next we hit the Grey Eagle, an old roadhouse that staged a sold-out show by Georgia rockers Of Montreal and a tribute to Django Reinhardt a week earlier. We saw the Blue Rags, a local ragtime-blues act that played a set so rousing the septuagenarian in front of us spun his granddaughter right off the dance floor.
It seems this city doesn't need much shut-eye. On our way home in the wee hours, folks with bellies and beards were huddling over foosball at Hi-Wire Brewing on Hilliard Avenue. And we heard hubbub coming from Top of the Monk, the speakeasy above the Thirsty Monk pub on Patton Avenue. Earlier in the evening, we'd ordered a round of bourbon cocktails from the bar, and they arrived with a numbered key. We were led to a post-office box by the bar that was filled with warm snacks such as bacon-wrapped figs – each in one of the locked boxes. Fabulous.
We checked out of our hotel early on Sunday and hightailed it to the Tupelo Honey Café (famed for its shrimp and grits) to try to beat the brunch rush. At 10 a.m., there was already a 90-minute wait. Nope, this city doesn't get much sleep.
Editor's note: This article incorrectly referred to American artist Robert Rauschenberg as having been an instructor at Black Mountain College. In fact, he was a student at the school. This version has been corrected.

Ok hotel, clean and fair sized rooms. Would not class as 4 star though, maybe an average 3 star. Staff were polite but not friendly and facilities quite average for a 4 star hotel.
Rooms. Bayside view. Downtown location. Average dining. No concierge at a tourist destination.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Seaview rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast included a wide variety from asian to western. Great location in central Kuah, great for duty free shopping.
friendly staff, good breakfasts, good sized rooms, massive walk-in shower and bathroom fascilities, beautiful view. slight mix up with check in, the puzzled faces on the reception desk staff was worrying but was sorted within fifteen minutes... make sure the all important booking.com print out is with u at all times as that is what resolved the issue!
It is a big (I think the biggest) hotel in Kuah and offers snorkeling trips etc. to a close island.
the location we booked an executive room with supposed use of the exec lounge which wasnt open during our whole stayinformed there were onlt 2 exec rooms booked so did not bother to open lounge
Room was very comfortable, luxurious and clean; friendly hotel staff; we enjoyed the KTV lounge bar with live band; excellent view of the sea. There is no beach nearby; we had to go to Cenang beach (24 RM for each taxi ride); breakfast is too Oriental.
Good location & friendly staffs. Mocket worn out,bad pillows and poor breakfast.
Beautiful seaview room. I have to wait for 2 hours as the requested big bed was not ready. Room not cleaned thoroughly. Empty beer can was found in mini bar. Cups not that clean.
privacy - did not disturb by staff eg: house keeping no daily newspaper for guest
We stayed for 2 nights in the hotel and enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and had good facilities (LCD TV, Coffee Maker, Locker, etc.) which was worth the money we paid. The buffet breakfast was very good too. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Although the hotel is located in the town center, it is a little bit far away from the nearby beaches (maybe 10-20 minute by drive). The bed sheets seemed to have not been changed during our 2 day stay. Moreover, there was no wireless internet connection inside rooms as it was supposed to be, though in the lobby, you could access and use wireless internet for free using your laptops.
New hotel, very easy to find, located close to kuah jetty and all the duty free shops.
Spacious in the room Breakfast need improvement.
The price of the hotel was very good and that its recently been renovated
very clean and cheap, and neer the farry no breakfast, and far away from the beach
room is too small, azio hotel don't even have mini bar, hot water and etc. perday they charge rm110.00 but the comtable are not there. next time i own go to azio hotel. sorry. nothing is there.
The location is central, hotel is clean and comfortable and the rate are reasonable. Too bad it does not includes breakfast and the family suite does not have windows.
Friendliness of the reception staff. A very basic hotel. Do not keep your expectations very high for the price you pay for this hotel.
Services is very poor

Shed hair falls from the root (you can see their lovely white tips!) and this is completely normal. Every single strand on our heads is programmed to naturally shed out in due time, after it sheds a new strand begins to grow. This is natural and nothing to worry about.
Bald patches come from hair falling from its root too, but in an unprogrammed manner. This isn't normal, nor is it breakage (hair that splits somewhere down the strand, in pieces) and this would be an issue that would not relate to transitioning. One would probably have to see a doctor to find out why.
Breakage however can be prevented or limited. Hair doesn't have to break in pieces, not even transitioning hair. You will have to take some measures to care for it though because it is indeed sensitive at the point where the two textures meet.
In terms of breakage, what helps me the most is washing my hair in twists or braids (strength in numbers). Also learning how to separate the hair with my fingers (finger-detangling) to avoid ripping through tangles with a comb. You can comb it after you separate it if you like. Google some videos, show your mom you ARE capable handle your hair and you will!

My last race in my STi.
I'm selling my STi. I absoluted love the car, but I just want to try something new for a while. I've been driving a WRX or STi for about 4 years.
My new car is a Black 6 Speed 05 GTO which should be delivered next week.
Well a guy (age 30 or so) in a 03-04 ish Mustang GT (with a few mods) see's me and takes off. I chased after him. He got a real big jump on me and it took me all the way to the middle of 5th gear to catch him (he was pretty fast). As soon as I started to pass him, the light about an 1/8 mile up the road turns red.
So we lined up side by side. I kept looking over at him smiling, because I was going to give him 100% (which I rarely do off the line on the street). The light turns green and I drop the clutch at 5000 rpms. I instantly jumped 2 cars off the launch. I pulled 1 more car in 2nd gear. Then 1 more car in 3 rd gear. At 70mph or so I was at least 4-5 cars in front of him. He wouldn't give up and kept coming. So I went up to about 100mph just to satisfy him. All in all I had about 5-6 cars on him. It was ugly and I loved it.
Also, my STi is basically stock. I running my catted downpipe and catback but thats it. I've taken my Utec and Turboxs mbc off my car. I'm running stock boost.
The car feels so slow. It really does. I can't believe how much of a difference running
17 psi boost and the Utec makes.
So I was happy to to beat up on a Mustang GT in my basically stock STi.
I'll give you guys my review of the 05 GTO as soon as I get it. I will also be taking it to the track as soon as I break it in (which shouldn't take long).
