text: Paris Dithers While London Shows Us How To Cut Spending This also leads one to turn a probing eye to the Corp. Welfare State and all that this encompasses. It's a serious conversation we need to just start having in this country as corp. welfare began well before (19th century) public welfare and IMO corp. welfare created adverse conditions among the people with it's own wealth redistribution and thus in order to maintain and grow this system. As a result of adverse outcomes by market interventions on behalf of connected corp. interests, public welfare was needed or the public at large who was already being slowly robbed would rise up and rebell against the system. As the interventions grow on behalf of corp. interests, so to do the disparity of wealth among the people and thus the ever growing demand for public wealth to paper over the real guilty parties and the root causes. You could say they rigged the game so to make the victims look like the culprit until the victims start to truly understand real free markets but fear keeps them at bay but the ability of the state to keep the game running is coing to an end and watch closely as the stuff hits the fan and who gets baled out. The recent corp. bailout in this country and saddling the average folk with the debt to pay off should begin to open eyes. The recent credit crisis is this country is just one more example of corp. entities and their gov't puppets creating unsustainable markets who hold monopoly status in the marketplace (so much for that free market myth stuff) the people at large have little choice as the game is actually rigged and then when the whole thing runs out of money, the gov't puppets prop it up again on the backs of the people and even worse, those who've not even been born yet. Maybe it's time to consider Rothbard's idea and Repudiate the National Debt when you understand that all debt in nothing more than a paper ficition. [video=youtube;vm3DixfL9o0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm3DixfL9o0[/video] There was a much deeper reason as you might begin to see from the above as to why Ron Paul wanted to audit the Federal Reserve and there's also a deeper reason the so-called Congressman who claim to be there to protect the people against the evils of the "free market" fought Ron tooth and nail to keep him from being successful.

Starting a comedy club – why humour communicates
GUEST BLOG POSTING from a Christian editor and journalist who also runs a comedy club in his town…
I blame Bob Monkhouse. I trace my huge enjoyment of comedy, and attempts to make others laugh, largely back to his Mad Mad Movies TV programme.
All he really did was show clips of old slapstick – Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, The Keystone Cops and the rest. And I was hooked at the age of about seven or eight.
Do Not Adjust Your Set, the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, The Goons, Tony Hancock, the classic films of The Marx Brothers, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore and on through Monty Python, Fawlty Towers etc. to today's sketch shows and stand-up comedians.
You see, I believe God hard-wired something into all of us that helps us see the funny side of things. And it doesn't just help us keep life in perspective – laughter is actually good for us. It releases all sorts of endorphins around our bodies, lessens tension and stress and helps us relax. And the best comedy can be tremendously life-affirming, positive and joyful.
So when, more than 15 years ago, my boss on the evening paper where I was working suggested I go and do an article on "this new comedy club thing" – and as part of it have a go at the open mic spot – I didn't need persuading.
It was very scary, it was over quickly, and I think somebody laughed at one point. But it was great fun. For some years I threw myself into writing in my spare time, with a little modest success – some paid-for work for comedians like Joe Pasquale and Adrian Walsh, a line used here or there on BBC Radio 4′s News Huddlines, and writing material for comedy agent Brad Ashton.
"I never thought I'd run a comedy club"
But I never thought I'd be organising and running a comedy club – let alone launching our town's first ever Comedy Festival. The former saw the light of day after a one-off gig with stand-up and actress Jo Enright back in November 2008 – demand soon saw an isolated event become a quarterly regular.
Why? Several reasons really:
- Comedy is a life-enhancer – we have a family-friendly ethos at our club, so the material and humor is suitable for any age from around 12/13 upwards. Enabling people to enjoy a good laugh together with all ages is a really positive thing – especially when the audience is a good mix of Christians and those outside the church community
- God loves laughter – I really believe that. He created the duck-billed platypus! The Old Testament prophets used drama and satire to deflate the pomposity of those who misused their authority and abused the weak and vulnerable. Jesus himself told stories with a surreal edge (a man with a plank in his eye?!), spent time with those on the fringes (publicans, sinners and Samaritan women), and loved a good wedding party (see Cana). It's great for people to see that a church-run club can happily dispense with the idea that Christians are anti-fun and don't have a sense of humor.
- Comedy disarms people and makes people think – many of the acts we book are Christians. Their faith may not be explicit in their material, but they bring a joy and a quality to their entertainment that is hard to disguise. It's also true that when people laugh, their defenses come down – and positive concepts and intriguing questions can be smuggled into the heart.
Our comedy is very wide-ranging, from jokes to observational storytelling, one-liners to the surreal. We've had comedy magic, performance poetry, and silly songs. There's endless variety.
And it's great using a non-church venue for this kind of event – there's a bar for people to buy a drink at our regular venue, and people instantly feel comfortable and at ease. That's often not the case when people come into a church building, with a whole host of baggage and expectations attached.
It's easy for people to invite friends, neighbors and family members, and an evening of comedy is a relaxed, non-threatening occasion. It's perfect for chatting in between acts, and building friendships.
So please …
- consider how you or your church could use humor as a bridge-building tool
- pray for Christians in comedy – for good audiences, for the joy of shared laughter, for something of the divine twinkle of God to be seen, heard and sensed
- pray also for those who can write positive, entertaining, life-affirming comedy
Finally, to quote Mr Monkhouse: "They laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well, they're not laughing now …"

2000 Dodge Maxxcab concept
DODGE MAXXCAB Using its "cab-forward" design concept, Chrysler has found ways to pack extra room into its sedans, coupes and convertibles. With the Dodge Maxxcab, the automaker takes the concept a step further. Call it Passenger Priority Spacing, a way to squeeze a lot more room out of a conventional pickup truck. The edgy looks of the MaxxCab serve as a "polar extreme" to more traditional trucks, like the Ram, says Mike Castiglione, chief designer at DaimlerChrysler's Pacifica styling studio in California. The concept truck features a shortened, 57-inch bed, but you can stretch the bed to a full 7 feet, 5 inches with its unusual tailgate.
2000 Ford 24.7 concept
2000 Ford 24.7 interior concept
FORD 24.7 Here's the car for people who like to multitask. Of all the prototypes making their debut at the Detroit auto show this week, the cartoon-like 24.7 is certain to win the "least likely to go into production award." But it nonetheless serves as a crystal ball for the auto industry's future. The boxy exterior envelopes a high-tech instrument panel featuring an array of "Telematic" technology, including voice-activated navigation, video displays and Internet access – all very much in Ford's production plans. The automaker announced it will begin offering some of this technology as a no-cost standard feature on most 2001-model Lincolns, and on the European version of the 2001 Ford Focus. "Go back 100 years, Henry Ford put the world on wheels. Today, Ford Motor Company will put the Internet on wheels," said Ford CEO Jac Nasser. Added Ford design chief J Mays, "We've entered a world where you measure speed in gigahertz and pipeline bursts, not horsepower."
2000 Buick LaCrosse concept
BUICK LACROSSE A V-8 sedan with a languid, undulating body, the LaCrosse keeps a toe in the stylish past of Buick sedans while reaching to a flexibility-minded generation via its cargo area. Utter a voice command and LaCrosse lifts a rear panel to convert its trunk into an open quasi-pickup bed. LaCrosse features a 4.2-liter V-8 with 265 horsepower mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, a sumptuous interior lavished with soft-touch upholstery and high-luxe finishes. We'd bet the portholes on the fenders are a design element due to return to Buicks any day now – the pickup bed, we're not so sure about.
2000 GMC Terradyne concept
GMC TERRADYNE Borrowing some style cues from Isuzu's recent Tokyo concept cars, the GMC Terradyne takes the average GMC pickup and makes it – no, really – taller and bigger. The extendable bed is a great idea for the burgeoning four-door pickup class, but the slide-out doors – which move out and in front of the fenders – and the accompanying power-operated running boards seem like overkill even when compared to conversion vans.
2000 Opel Zafira concept
OPEL ZAFIRA SNOWTREKKER What could the next version GM's European-penned, globally intended midi-van look like on the slopes at Gstaad? That's the question posed by the Zafira Snowtrekker, fully outfitted with Rossignol ski attire and suitably dour Germanic passengers during its unveiling. The proto-Zafira's slick size and shape carry a150-hp direct-injection four-cylinder gas engine and four-wheel drive. They're complemented by suitably snow-resistant interior materials, an integral roof bin for skis and accoutrements, and most useful, a sliding middle bench seat that moves 21 inches fore and aft, like that on the Mercury Villager/Nissan Quest minivan.

Over the last 4-5 years I have been fortunate to train many business user and IT personnel on how to utilize SharePoint. These include End Users, IT Pros, and Site Owners/Administrators/Power Users. In the scheme of things the last one is one of the most critical roles you will need in a successful implementation of SharePoint.
In an earlier blog post I talk about why I believe this is a critical role, but to paraphrase what said. Ultimately a SharePoint Site Owner will be a business user embedded in a department who understands that departments processes and content. This is an important concept to understand from the beginning of your SharePoint implementation and having them help with that implementation by bouncing ideas around will be very beneficial. They could potentially end up being the foundation of your internal Governance and SharePoint User Group. Read more here . . .

Viels-Maisons garden shop, also called "The Gardener's House"
The Gardener's House dates back to the 17th century, and is mentioned in the 1789 land register. It was occupied until 1964 by families working on the estate.
It was abandoned and left as a ruin until 1997. The lovely little house with its sheep barn was then restored and has become the reception area for the gardens, including a shop and indispensable toilets.
In 2010 the shop will start selling scent-based monastery products – jams, soaps incorporating garden flowers, balms and perfumes, sweets and biscuits, etc. All prayerfully made by monks.
The problem that faces all owners who, like me, work in their gardens is often one that involves glasses. When I lean down my glasses fall off; when I get hot they slide down my nose. The daughter of a friend of mine has started making bags in all sizes, including wonderful tiny pouches with garden motifs, fastened with cord or ribbon. I hang them across my chest … I come back to life! She had the bright idea of including a pocket for the ever-present mobile phone. You can find her bags and pouches in the garden shop.
You can always order a tea or a coffee, or a glass of apple juice or cider.
You can come to the shop without visiting the garden – there will always be a warm welcome, and at 5 p.m. sharp we could take tea together.

When did you fear most for Nadal? Was it when he summered "away from everything" last year, when his parents were having difficulties with their marriage and he could not play at Wimbledon because of his knees?
Or perhaps it was when he failed to win a set in his three round-robin matches last November at the end-of-season tournament on the Greenwich Peninsula?
Or maybe it was when he arrived on the French Riviera this April, for the tournament at the Monte Carlo Country Club, having not won a title for almost a year?
Or was it earlier in these Championships, when Nadal was concerned about his body? Nadal could confirm his dominance of men's tennis by beating Tomas Berdych, the son of a train driver and a grand slam final debutant, on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
For the first time since 2002, Roger Federer will not feature on the second Sunday of the Wimbledon fortnight, and Nadal has only previously lost in grand slam finals when he has played the Swiss on this lawn.
For the past three months, starting with that tournament on the Cote d'Azur, Nadal has been showing more teeth than Julia Roberts, performing his victory celebrations of biting into trophies, and now he is just three sets away from chewing on that golden Wimbledon cup again.
Nadal has won 30 of his last 31 matches, with his only defeat in that run coming against Feliciano Lopez in the quarter-finals of the pre-Wimbledon tournament at Queen's Club.
From Monaco to Roland Garros, Nadal played a perfect clay-court season, going undefeated, including regaining his French Open title, and this afternoon he could be presented with a second replica Wimbledon trophy to be lovingly placed on top of his television in Majorca.
Whatever happens on Sunday, Federer will on Monday morning be ranked outside the top two for the first time since 2003, and it will look as though Nadal, the world No 1, has every chance of finishing this season at the top of that list.
Federer's run of successive Wimbledon finals was broken by Berdych's killer forehand in the last eight; Nadal has now reached the final on his last four visits to the All England Club. He lost to Federer in the 2006 and 2007 finals, and then beat Federer the following summer, and, for the first time, he plays someone other than Roger.
When Nadal became the champion here two summers ago, with a five-set victory over Federer that finished in near-darkness, he was the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1980 to be the French Open and Wimbledon champion in the same season.
Last year, Nadal's knees flared up, and he lost early in the French Open and withdrew from Wimbledon, and it was Federer who won on both sides of the Channel.
Nadal's despondency was such that he hardly watched Wimbledon last summer; the only match he sat through in its entirety was the final, Federer's defeat of Andy Roddick.
"That moment wasn't an easy moment for me, with the knees and a little bit of the problems at home, too," he recalled. This afternoon Nadal could do that cross-Channel double again, even if it won't have the theatre of his 2008 victory since Centre Court now has a roof and artificial lights. Berdych won't be able to suggest, as Federer did, that he could not follow the path of the ball.
Some tennis players travel around the world telling every crowd in every city that "this is my favourite tournament", but it does feel as though Nadal genuinely prefers Wimbledon above any other, even though, in addition to his one previous slam title here, he has five French Open trophies and one from the Australian Open.
Nadal, who will walk to Centre Court from his rented house, has had a much better second week than first week. Twice in the opening week, he had to come from two sets to one down, as well as disclosing that he was "scared" about one of his knees, and he was fined for receiving illegal coaching from his uncle, Toni.
He has been terrific in the second half of this tournament, with fine victories over Paul-Henri Mathieu and Robin Soderling, and then beating Andy Murray in straight sets to extend his undefeated sequence at the All England Club to 13 matches.
At this season's French Open, Berdych demonstrated in his fourth-round match with Murray that he views a tennis racket as a piece of military hardware, and he went on to reach his first slam semi-final, which he lost to Soderling.
And now he is into his first slam final. Nadal has won his last six matches, his last 14 sets, against the Czech, with three of those sets coming in their only previous meeting at Wimbledon, in the 2007 quarter-finals.
Few expect Berdych to beat Nadal. But, then again, few expected Berdych to beat Federer.

Today while I was at work my wife Melissa was hard at work on her business. She's opening Ecolissa, an eco-friendly woman's clothing and accessory store, in a couple of weeks. Today was photo-shoot day. Our friends Johnson (creative director) and Michelle (clothing model) came down for the day. I guess everything went really well. They are pictured above discussing the website earlier this evening. The wife was mid-sentence, thus the toothy picture.
As far as beer, I really had to motivate myself tonight. Was half falling asleep on the couch 10 minutes ago and decided I needed to get productive and drink a beer. Keeping in theme with last night's review, I'm checking out another Texas-based beer.
Southern Star Pine Belt Pale Ale has me intrigued just because of its name. A piney pale ale…will it be pine-overload, or did Southern Star balance it out with malty goodness?
It sure smells piney. IPA levels of pineyness. I'm afeared.
OK, I take it back. One sip has convinced me that this isn't going to be pine overload. It is indeed fairly well balanced. The flavors repeatedly bounce between malty sweet and piney bitterness.
In addition to a good mix of flavors, the hazy burnt orange color and excellent lacing pretties the beer up.
An interesting spin on a Pale Ale. I definitely couldn't have guessed the beer style in a blind taste test.
Overall a pretty good beer. Definitely sparking my interest and keeping my taste buds guessing. One again, a big thanks to Ilya from DamnThatsGoodBeer.com for hooking me up with the Texas beer!

Samsung's Galaxy S5 is said to have passed the 10m devices shipped mark, with South Korean media reporting that the milestone was hit faster than any previous Galaxy flagship. The company itself is yet to confirm sales figures for the Galaxy S5, but reports suggest it took only 25 days to ship 10m devices.
The key word here, of course, is "shipped" rather than "sales", something which has prompted controversy in reporting and comparison device performance in the market before.
Samsung commonly reports its numbers as sales into the channel: i.e. how many devices it has shipped to retailers, carriers, and other partners. That means the 10m figure doesn't necessarily translate to 10 devices in consumers hands.
In fact, a proportion of the figure is likely in warehouses and stockrooms in multiple locations, waiting to be sold or shipped out.
Nonetheless, it's evidence of Samsung's formidable shipping chain and production abilities. It took the Galaxy S4 27 days to ship 10m devices, and 50 days for the Galaxy S III before it. Samsung launched the Galaxy S5 across 125 countries simultaneously, expecting to increase that number again this month.
There's more on the Galaxy S5 in our full review. Meanwhile, rumors suggest Samsung is already readying a higher-spec'd version, the Galaxy S5 Prime, to sap some of the momentum from LG's upcoming G3.

Huntingfield, St Mary's Church
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: Exquisite painted angel roof
In the north wall of the chancel is an ornate niche which may have been an Easter Sepulchre. Within the niche is a tomb chest to John Paston (d. 1575). On the wall of the niche above the tomb are traces of a wall painting. Of a similar vintage to the Paston tomb is a monument to Anne Moulton (d. 1595) on the north wall of the chancel. There are also fragments of medieval stained glass in the east window if the south aisle, and a wonderful grave slab to Martha Shute (d. 1705), with a carving of her shrouded body standing atop a skull.
Right, that's the historic bits and bobs dealt with, so let's get on to the real reason to visit Huntingfield; the astonishing painted roof. The person responsible for this work of art on a massive scale was Mildred Holland, wife of William Holland, who served as rector of Huntingfield from 1848-1892. Over the years 1859-66 Mrs Holland painstakingly painted the entire 15th century hammerbeam roof, angels and all, in an extraordinarily colourful fashion.
It is hard to adequately describe the painting scheme, so I suggest you examine the photos accompanying this article. Mrs Holland had no assistance with the painting, which must have been fantastically difficult, not to mention expensive. One source (The Shell Guide to Suffolk) suggests that the Holland's spent £2000 on the church roof; an exceptional sum for the time. I don't know what it did to their family finances, but if you see the result today you'd say the money was well spent. The Holland's tomb lies beside the church path, and as you pass by, pause to say a silent 'thank you'; it really is that good.
Is it authentic? Appropriate? Well, I'll leave that for someone else to debate. I loved it, and I'm not one always given to appreciating Victorian art. The Huntingfield roof is quite simply extraordinary; a must see.

Known for providing a wide range of products and services related to the field of computing, Microsoft is regarded as one of the most valuable companies today and is also the largest software maker when measured by revenues. The company was dominant in the personal computer operating system market and still is, although personal computers are declining in popularity. Likewise, it also has a strong position in the office suite markets. Apart from that, the company also ventured into the rapidly growing smartphone market with its Windows Phone and the tablet market with its Surface tablets.
The bright sight for the company is that its Windows Phone 8 is managing to beat BlackBerry for the number 3 spot in the competitive smartphone market, with Samsung and Apple taking the first and the second position respectively. But, in the tablet market, Microsoft doesn't seem to have fared well at all. The software giant had been troubled by increasing competition from Google and Apple in its markets. The declining sales of personal computers pushed the company into making a foray into the tablet market. Thus, Microsoft launched the Surface tablets in 2012.
However, the major problem with these tablets was that they were priced too high for too little features. There are thousands of tablets available in the market, based on the Android OS, which offer a multitude of features at a very affordable price tag. Even the strategy of cutting prices did not boost the sales of the Surface that had already been underwhelming. The company had refused to admit the failure of this product so far. But, now it seems that Steve Ballmer has come clean. The Chief Executive of the company half-heartedly and belatedly admitted that the company had made too many tablets that it could manage to sell.
In the same town hall meeting of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer also admitted that the company isn't selling the expected copies of Windows 8. Ballmer stated that they had manufactured a few more tablets than they could sell. However, this is an understatement because the software corporation had to write off $900 million of unsold inventory comprising of Surface RT tablets. Based on this figure, it can be estimated that the company has around 6 million unsold tablets and this oversupply cannot be called few at all.
Now, the company is holding a fire sale for selling out the unsold inventory. The company has sliced off the price of the tablets by 30%. However, this doesn't mean that the firm has given up on the tablets because it has been reported that Microsoft is testing a new generation of these tablets, which will have improvements. The company has to make some really huge improvements and cut back on its price to ensure that the next generation manages to sell. The same is applicable to Windows 8, which did not fare well the way its predecessor Windows 7 had and is a disappointment.

Appendix everyshot, like its counterpart Vine, is the ability to shoot fun videos longer than 12 seconds, in every way they handle and show all around, moreover, thanks to modern technology, it is now possible to show all over the internet. But, let's take a closer look the program.
The world around us all continues to gain momentum, offering a number of content daily volume which takes a man almost all his life. What I mean is that we are no longer able to absorb, albeit briefly, even a small part of what is on the Internet. This is especially true for the video, which is now off and fill in the share can practically everyone. All this forces us to adjust to the short time frame, something like that, and it turned out that 12 seconds is more than enough. Besides, having no need to only 12 seconds to think about the story or in the production, almost all need to think, as they say here, "two times in production." Around and built an application that will allow us to take these snapshots's videos.
The main difference between this application on Vine became only the length of the roller, which is in the Vine is only 8 seconds, and then as many as 12 ... maybe four seconds that much change, but the audience is to disagree. Number of subscribers Vine has long exceeded 50 million, this application is not up to 100 thousand. Everything else is very similar. Recording a short video, you will need to use the camera directly from the app (it then so-so), add to it the music (or your standard melodies) and place in the overall tape where you can view other people's records. The video that gets the most likes gets to the top, there are tops for a day or a month, the author of "top-end" video will receive well-deserved laurels and fans ...
For applications useful features include:
Among the shortcomings, in addition to the fact that it is a copy Vine, you can note a small audience, which is not nearly reached out to the analogs.
Bottom line: this is a good application everyshot analogue Vine, but to be honest this is the main problem, because in fact this is the Vine, only looks slightly different, but all the features and other aspects removed as a blueprint.

Electrical engineers design and test new electrical equipment such as electric motors, communications systems, and power generators. Electronics engineering technicians, on the other hand, work in product evaluation and testing, using measuring and diagnostic equipment. They are also involved in the deployment of new equipment in factory automation. Electrical engineering (EECS) has several sub-disciplines, including power engineering, software development, and control engineering. Electrical engineers with an EECS bachelors degree earned an average salary of $95,230 in 2017, while engineering technicians with an associates degree earned $61,130 annually.
The field of electric power engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. These include transformers, electric generators, electric motors, high voltage engineering, and power electronics. Electrical power engineers maintain and develop the electric power grid, that connects a variety of electrical generators and step-down transformers, using high-voltage transmission lines. Digital signal processing relates to the analysis and manipulation of signals. Signals can be either analog, in which case the signal varies continuously, or digital, where the signal varies according to a series of discrete values. Control engineering applications range from flight systems of commercial airplanes to industrial automation. Beyond major requirements within the electrical engineering (EECS) department, you may consider Plymouth State University chemical engineering as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Limo professional services are getting to be just about the most needed travel services in Dubai and all over the UAE. Deciding on the more effective company becomes a problem for clients when picking them. In the following paragraphs, I am going to focus on on tips which will help the consumers to decide on the very best limo organization in Dubai.
- - Car Dish quantity program code: RTA fails to obligate Limo firms.
- All Limo organizations should use program code "L".
Limousine and Luxurious Transfer Solutions organizations are using the rules of Dubai Federal government Highway & Carry Power (RTA). Appropriately, all Limousine companies have to fulfill rules that conserve the rights of the consumers and the sector. My intention on this page is to give the attention in the reader by far the most creditable information and advice. Moreover, the info i can provide in this article is based on the RTA rules, and that is certainly depending on the Authorities of Dubai regulation.
- Automobile Platter variety computer code: RTA fails to obligate Limo firms in Dubai to set up Tariff meters inside of the limousine vehicles. Tariffs differ from one particular business to a different one. It is actually proposed to start getting in touch with the limo firms for inquiry and costs. Requesting different companies will provide you with a concept of probably the most reasonable price and availability.
For inquiry
All Limo companies should certainly use computer code "L" for their cars. Keep in mind that code "L" is not merely restricted to Limousine companies' autos, to discover other cars in Dubai that are using the same computer code too. However, all limousine companies' automobiles need to bring this program code. inchiriere limuzina bucuresti
- Car owners RTA Badge:
All limousine drivers (chauffeurs) must have a rTA Limousine Certificate badge. The Limousine driver badge is different from a Driver's Permit. The badge will probably be clipped on the driver's match/tshirt, or as hanging badge. All buyers will have the legal right to request the operator to show the RTA Limousine Permit badge for them, if it is not hanged. Any vehicle driver that does not have the badge is recognized as not complying with the law.
- Travellers pick up spots: All Limousine businesses will use program code "L" for cars. Keep in mind that program code "L" is not merely restricted to Limousine companies' autos, so you may discover other cars in Dubai which can be using the same program code as well. However, all limo companies' automobiles must have this rule.
All limo
Limousine businesses will not be able to bring buyers apart from from assigned places. Limousines usually are not like taxi cabs; they must not pick-up walk-in consumers besides from locations which can be designated to them, such as lodges. In other areas, like Dubai Airport terminal, only pre-scheduled Limousines are permitted to receive customers from your airport terminal, plus an designated firm within the Limousine line. Never comply with those who offer limos or taxi limousines on the exit from the large airports as many likely they are not legal, even if they boast of being a "Limousine Firm". The easiest method to get gathered by using a Limousine, or Deluxe transport motor vehicle, from anywhere in Dubai, along with Dubai Airport terminal and in Dubai Entire world Main International airport, is by using a pre-reserved and verified reservation. This is often quickly achieved by getting in contact with a Chauffeur driven car Organization through their site, electronic mail, or workplace repaired collection amount. Note that the fixed line contact number is quite a bit more secure when compared to a mobile.
- Tariff gauge in the car:
Tariff gauge in the car
RTA fails to obligate Limousine companies in Dubai to set up Tariff m within the limousine vehicles. Tariffs vary from one particular company to another. It really is suggested to get started on getting in touch with the limo businesses for inquiry and rates. Inquiring diverse organizations gives you an idea of probably the most affordable value and access.
Getting in touch with the limo
In conclusion, knowing the internal legal guidelines assist all travellers to prevent problems that may possibly arise during their traveling. I tried to become unbiased, around I was able to, to deliver one of the most practical info concerning how to select the best Limo Company in Dubai.
- Limo professional services are getting to be.
- RTA does not obligate Limousine firms in Dubai to put in Tariff meters within the limousine.
- - Auto Platter amount code: RTA is not going.
- - Passengers grab spots: All Limousine firms will use program code "L" with regard to their automobiles. Note that.

Theislands were used for the internment of political prisoners duringBenito Mussolini's fascist regime. This was nothingnew: two millennia earlier Augustus had exiled hisgranddaughter Julia the Younger to one of these islands(then named Trimerus in Latin, maybefrom Greek Trimeros,Τρίμερος, meaning "treeplaces" or "tree islands").
Inhabitedsince late Iron Age times (4th-3rd centuries BC), the Tremiti Islandhave been a confinement place since ancient times. Romanemperor Augustus had his granddaughter Julia theYounger transferred here, where she died after twenty years. Inthe Middle Ages the archipelago was ruled by the Abbey of Santa Mariaa Mare ("Holy Mary on the Sea") at San Nicola island,apparently founded here in the 9th century by Benedictine monksfrom Montecassino. In the 13th century the abbey had gained itsautonomy from the father monastery, and owned lands fromthe Biferno to Trani in the Apulian mainland.After an alleged period of moral decadence, in 1237 the Benedictineswere replaced by the Cistercian order. In 1334 the abbeywas sacked by Dalmatian pirates from Omiš.
In1412 the Lateran Canons took the ownership, and restoredthe abbey with cisterns and fortification which withstood the assaultof Ottoman ships in 1567. The abbey was suppressed in 1783 byKing Ferdind IV of Naples, who instituted here a penalcolony. During the Napoleonic age the islands were astronghold of Joachim Murat's supporters, who resisted in thefortress to a British naval fleet in 1809. In 1843, to repopulate theislands, King Ferdinand II of Two Sicilies moved herenumerous people from Naples' slums, who mostly became fishermen.
In1911 about 1,300 Libyans that opposed colonial Italian rulewere confined to Tremiti. After one year, around one-third of thesepeople had died, mainly from typhus. During the Fascist era, thearchipelago continued to perform its function of confinement,detaining, among others, Amerigo Dumini and futurepresident of the Republic Sandro Pertini
Mussolinihad hundreds of homosexuals deported to San Domino. No law prohibitedhomosexuality at the time, and Mussolini also denied its existence,saying that, "In Italy there are only real men". However,suspected or reported homosexuals were rounded up and deported. Theconditions on the island were very difficult, and a fewdied.

- Jasonk 23:29, 12 March 2006 (EST):These look really great. It would also be cool to have a small rectangular banner that a lab could easily put at the bottom of their webpage, maybe something slightly larger than the Creative Commons banner at the bottom of this page.

WhatsApe: Written iPhone App Review
Sometimes you just want a good laugh, whether it is at yourself or your friends. Imagine taking a photo and making it, well, a more goofy looking version of you and your pals. The WhatsApe app from developer digipoc will do just that for you. It is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad, and runs on iOS 4.0 or later.
The basic premise of WhatsApe is for the user to take a picture of themselves or their friends and use it as the primary feature of pairing it with silly looking ape images. When the user first loads the app, they will be prompted to either view more apps available from the developer, or proceed on to the actual app. They can then select their "alter ego" ape image. There are six images total, and once the user lands on the desired image that they want, they can then select the "tale picture" function. From there, the user can select to change from the device's front view facing picture taking, or back view facing picture taking. Once they select the picture, they have the further option of retaking the photo or proceeding to the next step. Then will then be prompted to chooses a filter or background theme. There are seven total filters to choose from. Once the filter is chose, the user will then be prompted to choose from 6 different goofy headlines. They can also opt to have a blank heading if they want. From there on, the user can either save it to their device for future reference or immediately share with friends and family via their Facebook account.
Appearance and Layout:
The overall appearance of WhatsApe is decent. The layout is very easy and simple to navigate and figure out. The graphics and images are very basic, nothing over the top, yet, nothing to exciting. There are in-app ads that show up on the bottom of the main preview screen, but they aren't anything to distracting.
To summarize, for WhatsApe being offered for 99 cents is an okay deal. It's a silly app that not everyone would be clamoring to purchase. However, for those who do get it, it still would provide some decent entertainment and laughs, especially those who love to poke fun at themselves and their friends, whether in person, or in ape form.
WhatsApe iPhone app requires iOS 4.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review. The iPhone app reviews rating: [Rating: 4/5]

Inside or outside, which is better? You know that embedding analytics in databases offer several benefits including security, performance, and enabling users to take advantage of the analytics more readily. But how do you do it?
In this installment of our embedded analytics series we discuss embedding analytics using stored external procedures – an option provided by all major commercial RDBMS providers. These procedures are invoked in the same manner as internal stored SQL procedures but they run in a process space separate from that of the database itself. This separation can be advantageous in certain scenarios. In particular, if a data set is selected for analysis that pushes the limits of physical memory then the database is isolated from any issues that arise in running the analytics on this problematic data.
In this webinar, you will see detailed steps on how to implement the analytics as a shared library using IMSL Libraries for C for illustration.

of our customers rated this property good or excellent.
although the room was nice, we had booked a superior apartment but we're only provided with a room and a small fridge as all superior appartments were booked.The rep told us that as we were fully inclusive we didn't need a superior apartment, which we were not happy about as the superior apartment was what we had paid for.
For a 3star hotel it was OK. Beds were clean, staff on the whole helpful and friendly. Best suited to families who like being entertained similar to a holiday camp. No towels provided for the pool and sun beds tightly packed. The guests were mainly from eastern European countries.
carpets in the hall way and our bedroom were very dirty and not vacuumed throughout our stay. The food was not up to a good standard and certainly not cooked properly. Staff in the hotel were not very helpful and were quite aloof. All of this information was given to the Olympic rep who unfortunately had to agree with us.
Grim, dirty beds, ancient sunbeds, mediocre food, indifferent staff,list goes on
For 4 or more rooms please call our Groups Team on 0800 408 4037.

Icicles No 43 Heart-Shaped Ribbed Glass Dildo
Best sex toy I have ever bought - fact
Reviewed: 22 March 2015 by BigDD, a Straight Married Female
Firstly, as always, my toys arrived in a discreet box. Thank god, as I know my postman, lol!
I could not wait to open my new glass dildo as I have been longing for this for ages!
It comes very well packaged and, on opening it, it is very pretty and a great girly colour. I love it.
The item is curved and is hand blown. It has a good length and many bumps.
On using this it was so hot and sexy.
We dipped this in cold water, which totally felt amazing. Alternatively, you can use hot water.
The dildo felt great inside. My G-spot and insides got a total massaging. It really hit the spot for me and gave me great pressure and pleasure inside. So much so, that I ended up gushing and squirting all over my bed and my OH.
This has never happened before, but it felt so amazing.
I would definitely recommend this item to any female.
This can also be used for anal, but we haven't got round to that yet!
This dildo can be cleaned so easily (although I had a chuckle when it said it can be cleaned in the dishwasher).
So glad I bought this item. Can't wait to use it again.
- Pros
- Colour, shape, the way it made me cum! Great length for me!
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Made me squirt for the first time ever!

Glass perfection
Reviewed: 15 October 2014 by amiss, a Straight Married Female
As always, the dildo arrived very quickly. in the discreet brown cardboard box. Inside was a lovely box made of thick cardboard with pictures of the dildo on the sides. The front of the box opens to relive the beautiful hand blown glass dildo. inside the box the dildo is held in place with ridged foam. It does not come with any storage bag, so I have kept the box to store it in.
The dildo:
This pink hand-blown glass dildo has a pretty heart on the base of the dildo which fits perfectly in your hand. The dildo has a good weight. It has slight curve to it, so it is good for G-spot penetration (or even prostate). It has a tapered end which leads into 5 delightful bumps, each slightly larger than the previous. The length 8 inches with an insertable length of 6.5 inches and a girth of 4 inches at its widest point, so it is ideal for vaginal or anal play.
Play time:
Vaginally, this dildo feels amazing. You can feel every bump as it enters, and it hits the G-spot with ease. Its spine feels tingly fantastic when left in the fridge. The coolness internally feels divine, and is equally as good when warmed up in warm water. The warmness of the glass dildo make you feel even wetter and wanting more.
Anally, this dildo is great. The bulbous bumps make it even more intense, but very pleasurable.
As this is a glass dildo, it is simple to clean. Just wash it with warm soapy water and leave to dry and put it away.
Not only is this a beautiful dildo, it is a piece of art. You could leave it out on display and nobody would know that it is a dildo. I cannot stress how luxurious this dildo is. If you are new to glass or have already tried the delights it offers, this is a must-buy.
- Pros
- Its beauty.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- It is divine, a must-buy.

This is my first glass dildo - I have used a glass butt plug before and love the temperature properties of the glass, so felt it was time to try it again, but in a new way. As with others, I didn't pay enough attention and hadn't realised until after I'd ordered that the dildo has a curve, but this was a welcome surprise.
I got this is the 3 for £75 deal and it was an absolute bargain. My partner used to work in an adult shop and they sold these for £50, so I felt £25 was a great deal, and even more so once it arrived.
The dildo was beautifully packaged with a book-opening-type box with a viewing window, and the dildo was nestled in foam to stay in position and keep it safe from any damage in transit.
I did also consider the black spiral glass dildo, but I liked that this one was pink and girly, so I chose this one instead.
I am not disappointed. I have used this alone and my partner has used it on me and both times it was felt wonderful and extremely satisfying.
The curve is just right for hitting the G-spot and although the dildo is made of glass it doesn't seem at all fragile as it is solid and thick. The graduated size of the beads helps with insertion and would also make this an ideal toy for anal play I'm sure.
All in all, I have been quite literally thrilled with this product and am now looking to expand my glass collection.
- Pros
- Absolutely everything.
- Cons
- Absolutely nothing.
- Bottom line
- A fabulous sturdy toy with an expensive feel and classy look.

Summertime... and the livin' is easy. We rocked the Star Bar this weekend. Check out some pictures at your friendly neighborhood flickr. Also, Southeast Performer magazine has a great profile of us in their July issue. Check it out here. So what else is new with the 80's ladies? TONS!
First up, July 19 at the EARL - Support Our Poops! Featuring AEW, Fox Trotsky, Three Dog Stevens, and Insane-O-Flex. I personally selected all these bands to play with us, so there is no excuse not to come check it out! I give you my 100% guarantee that it will kick 10 kinds of ass.
Next up... August! We'll be playing at Lenny's on the 18th with They Shoot Horses Don't They?, but more importantly, we'll be recording our soon-to-be-multi-platinum debut album later in the month. Stay tuned for more info on that!
Finally, check out this email we got...
Hey guys-
I don't know you personally, but I've been to a few of your shows (good stuff). I ended up having to get a mammogram a few days ago (14 years earlier than expected). As my boobs were going through Mr. Toad's wild ride what kept me from staying in constant panic was playing your song in my head: Mama Get a Mammogram. I hope it doesn't seem silly, but thank you for writing such a fun song. It really helps me out in times of worry.
Thank you thank you thank you!
How's that for AEWSOME?! Luckily, everything turned out great for Jules. However, it doesn't always turn out so great for other women. AEW will be having its 3rd Annual "Fuck Breast Cancer!" fundraiser this fall at the Star Bar. All proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. More details to be announced soon! Until then, see you at the rock show.

Body Obsession In The Media Essay Research
Body Obsession In The Media Essay, Research Paper

Body Obsession in the Media
In a world where image seems to be everything, it's hard not to pay attention to the way you look. Body Image is a quickly growing fad all over the world today. Everyone wants to be that "Victoria Secret" model or the buff guy on the cover of GQ magazine. The problem is some people go the wrong way about obtaining that image and even go to the extent of hurting themselves to reach that ideal look. Many of us catch ourselves standing in front of a mirror analyzing every detail, curve (or lack of), and flaw of our bodies, although there are those who admire their favorite parts as well. Of course everyone has a part of their body that they dislike, but when analyzing turns to an obsession that's when trouble can start. Millions of Americans are in a battle with their own bodies, focusing so much on what they look like that it turns into a fixation. In fact, so many are dissatisfied with their bodies that poor body concept is considered normal in today's society. People tend to distort their views about their own bodies causing them to have a negative body image and such an obsession may be detrimental to their health. Such a negative image can cause low self-esteem, depression, sexual dysfunction, poor health habits, and sometimes psychiatric disorders (Something-fishy website). Most of all, it can lead to the eating disorders that are currently plaguing a majority of women today.
When women go beyond the limits of their own bodies, the results can be deadly. In today's day and age, society is more aware of this then ever. If a young woman walked into a doctors office twenty years ago thirty pounds underweight and her hair falling out, the doctor would probably recommend putting moisturizer in her hair. Today, every doctor would know better than to overlook the possibility of an eating disorder considering five to ten million females and one million males suffer from an eating disorder of some sort in today's society. "(Anorexia) strikes between 5 and 10 percent of American women, and has one of the highest fatality rates for a mental illness." (Wolf 355). Martha Herrin, codirector of Dartmouth College Eating Disorders Education said, "(The sufferers) tend to be young, from 14 to 25, white, affluent perfectionistic type-A personalities"(www.Dartmouth.edu website). Strangely enough, such a fatal and widespread disease does not get recognition, research, or prevention programs as other equally fatal diseases. But why is there such an increase in eating disorders in today's generations, and why is it targeted at white, middle class, teenage girls?
There seems to be a difference between today's society and that of previous decades. Although, even decades ago people were still obsessing over their weight and envied people of the media. From wasp-waisted, corset look to the dangerous curves of Marilyn Monroe to the boyish figure of Twiggy and the more recent supermodel Kate Moss. "A generation ago, the average model weighed 8 percent less than the average American woman, whereas today she weighs 23 percent less?the average model, dancer or actress is thinner than 95 percent of the female population."(Wolf 356-7) The obsession probably began during the time of the first women's movements of America, around the 1920's when females became equal members of society voting and becoming a part of the once thought of "man's world". Perhaps as women became involved in society, they began to let their bodies be controlled by it. The once valued image of fertile women, commonly seen in statues and paintings, with full hips and plump bellies and faces suddenly turned to "the look of sickness, the look of poverty, and the look of nervous exhaustion." (Wolf 356). Maybe women in their mind feel that if their bodies represent self-control and obedience in today's society. "Women operate in a man's world and no matter how accomplished you are, or how good you are at anything, you have to look the part of the beautiful woman, the model thin woman."("Cindy", Berman 353). Perhaps the equality that women now share today caused competition within themselves to prove to be what society labels as "the best".
Along with the rise of women in today's society affecting their self-image there is still the highly influential effect of the media. Everyone knows that media also has something to do with why we obsess. Many do agree that the most of us obsess to obtain that ideal model-like figure from those disgustingly perfect people we see everyday on TV and in magazines. The fact is that we obsess because society pressures us to be beautiful and even rewards us if we are. Today's teenagers are in an age of sexual confusion and the media seems to take full advantage of that. The nineties was a decade full of sex related issues; from the ever growing problem of AIDS, giving causal sex a whole new meaning, to the Bill Clinton controversy which showed that a national role model such as our own President could reinforce the belief that it is in fact an era where sex plays a leading role.
. Advertisers and television producers know that sex is appealing and will always be apart of human nature. Let's face it – sex sells. The most popular television stars and music singers are attractive, beautiful people. Even though the average teenager does not follow everything that these media icons do, they do however greatly influence the standard for what is sexy, beautiful, attractive, masculine and feminine. With the drastic changes we see today in the media, with new addition of the internet and the increasing risqu? programming we see on television, it's no surprise that self image is bigger than ever. Programs with sexual content are no longer only for those to venture to porn shops and strip clubs, it's in everyone's home. Along with everyday problems like school, friends, and family, teenagers also have to deal with the fact that sex seems to be everywhere. The problem with the media glamorizing and over-exploiting sex to sell their product or increase their ratings is that today's generation is being influenced to believe that this works in reality. "They don't mention HIV, and you don't get unwanted pregnancies on TV, and you know nobody is getting chlamydia or syphilis on Beverly Hills 90210." ("Michelle", Habib) You see models and actresses with perfect bodies and perky breasts living in mansions and making tons of money, and it's all based on their physical appearance. You see them smiling on late night talk shows, strutting carefree down the runway, or posing scantily clad in their newest video or movie. What you don't see is their everyday life of hours of tedious exercise, their battles with eating disorders, and trips to their plastic surgeons to perfect their features. "We don't see Cher's surgeries, we don't see Stallone's compulsive work-outs. We don't see the soft focus lens that takes years off anchormen and newscasters. We don't see numerous models throwing up their food every day. We only see the dazzling images of perfection and success – and feel bad about ourselves" ("Susan Bordo", Habib).
The reasons behind our body obession vary from person to person. Some influences are family, friends, opposite gender, or the obsession might relieve the lack of control in one's life. Also, society's ideal image also varies from culture to culture. This might explain why such pressure for unreasonable image standards is directly effecting the Caucasian girls as opposed to others for their ideal differs than that of other cultures. Research has proved that different cultures have different ideals of the perfect body and different standards of beauty. For example, studies have shown that white and black girls have different images of the "ideal girl". White girls, much more than black girls, opt for an unrealistic body of 5′7″ 100 pounds. Much of the cultural diversity with body image has to do with the role models of that particular culture. A majority of women seen on TV and magazines have what seem to be flawless bodies with the most recent fad of the waif look, and many of these women are white. Other cultures seem to value full figured women more than others and this is evident from what we see in the media. This may explain why 90% of white teenage girls were dissatisfied with their bodies, while only a mere 30% of black girls were.
Why is there such a difference between cultures? There are a few possible explanations. First, most black men value a full figured women more than white men would. Also, black women are more prone to having hypertension as adults, therefor, they are not as worried about gaining weight. White women tend to focus on weight issues because they tend to live in environments that value thinness and dieting. A recent study done by Fernham and Baguma in 1994 demonstrated that, "the greater the wealth (of a country or society) the more thinness is felt desirable"(Something Fishy Website). A large majority of girls with eating disorders are those fairly middle class individuals. Most black women don't view a fuller figure as a negative aspect; rather they see it as a sign of prosperity and happiness. There is also another difference between white and black teens. White girls tend to envy and loathe a person who has that ideal figure and those women are actually resented for it. African American teens on the other hand, support and respect women who match their version of ideal.
So does this mean that their body image standards are changing to conform to popular standards as well? Or will other cultures be influenced by Black and Hispanic standards? With Grammy winners such as Will Smith and Lauren Hill, hip-hop culture has become mainstream in recent years. Although it seems as though this may bring a new body image ideal to mainstream as well, it might have the opposite effect because another growing problem for Black and Hispanic women today is the increase of thin media figures of their culture who represent the same appearance standard. Such figures like Mariah Carrey and Jennifer Lopez are influencing young girls to aspire to be like them. It seems as though Black and Hispanics are also conforming to popular culture belief that thinness is in. Although African American and Hispanic women tend to value full figures more than white women, in no way are they immune to eating disorders and poor self-image due to weight issues due to media and society. "Dangerous Eating" (Essence Magazine, Villarosa) featured an article on the subject of Eating Disorders is Black women, providing a possible insight. "The Black-American culture traditionally accepts more fat on women than the White culture, but when Black middle-class women become integrated into White culture while they are trying to get ahead, they become more at risk of developing Eating Disorders." Black and Hispanic women do face problems related to their body image just as white women do. The white ideal is more excepted in the business world today and it can lead to complications for women whose ideal differs. This then forces Black and Hispanic women to become competitive in the workplace and with their bodies.
Along with the influences of other cultures today, which are changing how we feel about our body image, there seems to be a more desirable fad than the waif look of the early nineties. Since the widespreading popularity of plastic surgery the next new image women are trying to have is the totally-flat-except-for-exceptionally-large-breasts look that current stars such as Pamela Anderson and Tyra Banks have made famous. The look is unnatural and physically impossible for many body types to have naturally, making that want for that ideal body even harder and making people go to the extent of altering their bodies through expensive surgery. Even Pamela's recent removal of her breast implants does little to extinguish that image because her supposed "C-cup" still seems to unreasonable for the average woman. Exercise is obviously healthy, but how far will people go to burn off their problem areas? Most professionals, such as doctors and health specialists, will say that too much focus on body image is bad but thankfully women are beginning to no longer trying to squeeze themselves into a size two with the growing, but not yet popular enough, fad of healthier bodies with a reasonable weight. For example, a few companies such as Jockey underwear, Gap, and Anne Klein are all beginning to use a new line of models with a healthier look. So are women going to have reasonable body image goals? Maybe that's a question to ask ourselves. Also, maybe this new media fad will change women self images as other decades have shown such changes. Perhaps women are realizing that the anorexic look does not portray such self-control and obedience but actually an image of weakness and vulnerablity. The healthy look may finally solve women's' body battles with a healthy focus on fitness rather than thinness. The next step is for society to make such a look acceptable and more desirable with the help of the media exposure and influence of popular role models today.
But the media hasn't completely conformed to the new look and as long as there are beautiful, thin people plaguing the covers of magazines and on every channel on TV, the obsession will continue. Even with the positive role models of every culture, thinness and perfection seems to still be plaguing society today. "I particularly fear for this generation whose sense of self-esteem is so connected to having a perfect body" ("Bordo", Habib). The important thing is how people handle it and the extent they take it to. The people of today's generation must realize that image is only skin deep, only when one moves beyond admiring appearance that is when they can live their lives to the fullest extent.

Not to be confused with The Stars and The Watercarriers.
One particular overnight desert bikepacking trip in the desert of southern Idaho had the potential for a little extra discomfort. We had planned on being able to get water out of the river at the end of the ride, but the river gurgled along several hundred feet below us at the bottom of the vertical gap it is cutting through this volcanic plateau.
We took a quick inventory of water we had on board and decided we wouldn't die but that we would need to be careful. Ultimately we found a way down to the water by hiking a couple miles downstream. I was prompted to write this post about some ways to carry water on the bike.
-First is the good old hydration pack- 70 or 100 ounces (2 or 3 liters) carried on the rider's back. Some people complain about the discomfort of carrying a back pack in hot weather, but to me it is worth it. Especially since you can stuff other things into the pack besides the water bladder.
-Standard water bottles fit in standard bottle cages which bolt to the bike carry 22 or 24 ounces (around .7 liter each) If the forks on the bike have bottle bosses you can carry one or two more bottles there. You can add additional mounts for standard cages, either on the fork or one of the bicycle main tubes, by using the Elite VIP Bottlecage Clips.
-The Revelate Designs Mountain Feedbag works well for carrying too and the new designs holds a 32 ounce nalgene.
-Topeak make the Modula bottle cage which mounts to the two standard bolt holes and is designed to carry the large plastic 1 to 1.5 liter bottles sold at most convenience stores.
–Velo Orange Mojave bottle cage with 32 ounce (.95 liter) Nalgene bottle or 40 ounce (1.2 liter) Klean Kanteen. These bolt onto the standard two bolt mounts on most bikes or, even better, with three bolts using the mounts now found on some bikepacking bike forks and frames. Combine one of the VIP Bottlecage Clips with the two bosses on the bike for extra security.
-In locales without services but with access to surface water you will need a water filter or purifier. We use the Camelbak All Clear water bottle which incorporates an ultraviolet light in the cap which and will kill all the bugs in .75 liters of water (25 ounces) in 60 seconds. A mechanical filter like the Platypus GravityWorks is potentially a little bit faster.
-If there will be no access to surface water and no services then carry an additional 4 or 6 liters (135 or 203 ounces) in the MSR Dromedary bladder.
Every trip and every day will have different requirements for how much water needs to be carried. These are just a few ideas to think about. Let me know what I missed in the comments.

Oil Up 11% After 2-Day Rally; Trade Volatile On Stock Builds
NEW YORK, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Oil prices rose strongly again on Monday, tacking on a total of 11 percent over two straight sessions, as some investors bet that a bottom had formed to the seven-month long rout on the market even as others remained pessimistic.
Benchmark Brent and U.S. oil futures swung in a band of about $4 a barrel, one of their widest in weeks, as near-term technical signals indicated further gains while fundamental data continued to weigh on the market.
The spread between the two oils <CL-LCO1=R> widened to above $5 a barrel, its widest since November.
Traders said oil services company Genscape estimated a stock build of 2.3 million barrels in the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery point for U.S. crude last week, adding to already record-high inventories in the United States.
A U.S. refinery strike, which theoretically meant higher crude supplies in the market, along with disappointing U.S. consumer spending and manufacturing data, also knocked oil prices off early highs.
"I don't think anything's changed fundamentally, except for the psychology of the market," said Chandravir Ahuja, an analyst at Kolmar Americas Inc in Bridgeport, Connecticut. "We're moving a lot more on headlines that we probably would on a normal day."
Brent settled up $1.76, or 3.3 percent, at $54.75 a barrel, swinging between a session high of $55.62 and a low of $51.41.
