To start off ill tell you I got a phone call from Angel on Monday. She is enjoying herself. She thought it would be like prison but its nothing like it. We couldnt talk for too long because she had to go. She is liking the food and the people. It sounded like she was doing a lot of classroom time. She has already lost like 4 or 5 pounds she said.
Today was probably the loneliest day since the day after she left. I didn't have Cable to keep my mind busy and I did a lot of walking around and doing errands so it gave me plenty of time to think. I do wish I had more family close by. I enjoy my friends and my coworkers. They do help but I miss the emotional connection. Something you only get from really close friends or family. Its time like these that I do wish we were on good terms with her family. I could go further into that thought but I am ending it there to keep from creating any unneeded drama. I have only gotten 1 letter from her and I am eagerly awaiting another. It keeps me content and moving forward.
Before Angel left I told her I would get into better shape. I am trying hard to lose weight but I'm not getting as fast of results as I had hoped for. But I will continue to keep trying. I don't want her to be let down when I get to see her. She is gone bettering herself so the most I can do for her is to try to better myself. We will see where I am at in the end.

A little of everything
To start off ill tell you I got a phone call from Angel on Monday. She is enjoying herself. She thought it would be like prison but its nothing like it. We couldnt talk for too long because she had to go. She is liking the food and the people. It sounded like she was doing a lot of classroom time. She has already lost like 4 or 5 pounds she said.

Angel's First letter
Hey everyone. Sorry I havent posted on here for a week. I have been planning on posting for awhile I just never got around to it. I did start a post last night but I couldn't finish it yet because I felt I was not sticking with my point enough. Well now onto about how Angel is doing.
I got a letter from Angel this last week. She says she is having a good time. She got into the 900 Division so she is happy about that. She is making some good friends. She said the first couple days were bad but after that it got better. Her boots are apparently blistering up her feet pretty bad but hopefully by this time they are getting better. :)
Well I need to get to sleep. Goodnight all and have a peaceful and pleasant night and day tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I'm sure almost all of you know me by now but I will introduce myself anyway. My name is Aaron, Angel's Husband. Until angel gets out of boot camp i will have control over her blog and I will keep everyone updated on how she is doing and how I am faring as well. I will also put on some of my own ideas and thoughts. Do not think I will be telling my side of the story on the situation that I am most certain most of you can recall. I will try my best to steer away from it so that I do not add any more confusion or drama. I am merely a fill in while the wife is away. Now I will tell you how I am doing.
Monday I took angel to Omaha and we checked into our hotel. She had to stay in a room with a roommate that the navy paid for while I bunked with Ed's family in a separate room. We said our Goodbyes for the night about 9:30 p.m. It was a tough night because the thought of not being able to see my beautiful wife and best friend for month was hard to imagine. I got onto the computer and talked with friends to try to keep my mind busy. It worked rather well. The next day I got up and got ready and went down to the MEPS station in time to be able to watch her swear in. Then I hung out there until she got loaded up and shipped off to the airport. We hung out there and messed around on the computer and we were about to say our final goodbyes when we looked at the screen and saw that the flight had been delayed for an hour. We were happy that we got to see each other longer but its one of those things where we were preparing ourself for it and it got pushed off for awhile. So we ended up buying a movie and watched almost all of it before she left. I said my final goodbye before she left and it was hard. I had to hold back my tears while I murmured a goodbye and I love you. I could tell she was having problems with it too. She walked away and I walked away and I turned around and I saw her fellow navy recruit put her arm around her so I could tell she was having a hard time with it. I could ramble on more but the rest is just mundane stuff.
I knew it would be hard emotionally departing my loved one. But I did not think past that. That's what you hear about when you think of people getting deployed or going to boot camp. You think of the emotional. The problem with being a guy and your wife going into the military is that you can not be there for her when she is having a rough time. You can't give her a hug and tell her its going to be alright. I can't just run her a hot bubble bath and light her some tea candles and tell her to go relax. I absolutely hate it because now I feel like I need to nurture something. Now that she is gone I see it a lot more clearly how we balanced each other out. She may have been the "head of the household" and told me that things needed done but I was able to calm her down after a bad day or help her run her errands. Now I finally see what a marriage is supposed to be like and I think I knew it all along but now I think I can for sure say that I have a great marriage.
Well I am not going to sleep in my bed tonight. I can't even hardly go into the room without getting emotional. The couch looks the comfiest at the moment. Well goodnight all and I hope I didn't ramble too much on here. I get told that I do that a lot.

The Voice of My Beloved...
So... this is it. I'm leaving tomorrow. I can't believe, with how this year has gone so far, that something is going to go right for once. And yet, it's pulling together, obviously.
I'm still not too nervous. But deeply sad about not seeing Aaron. You, readers, will fare better than me. He promises to let you know how I'm doing. He might put up pictures of my blue belt, some shots of us at MEPS swearing in, and excerpts from my letters in the following weeks. So, enjoy it! He's a good writer when he tries.
Well... I'll see you in 8-9 weeks!!

Inside my Head, Installment #16
Well, the past two weeks have been horrendously chaotic. It's almost like living in a 4 bedroom house with 9 people and 1 1/2 bathrooms. But, who would do something as crazy as that???
My friend Cassie quit the Navy around New Year's, and then moved out of our house to stay with her girlfriends across town. So we reorganized the house and cleaned. I've been working hard to get ready to leave for the Navy.
I hadn't planned on going into the Navy after Cassie quit. I was very sad about her leaving, as well as family issues which were heightening at that time. We began talking about simply staying here, helping care for a friend's daughter, and just living.
But at some point, I began to feel a growing excitement about the opportunities the Navy will bring. One of the best things I can do right now is get away from this poisonous environment and seriously pursue a new life for myself and my husband. The financial benefits will be out of this world. Plus there just is a time in life to step out completely of the world you are surrounded by and open your heart to new adventures and circumstances. This is most certainly one of those times.
So, I went ahead with the plans I had originally made with Cassie. A new recruit gladly took her position, and my ship date was still valid. So then I had to start making plans for a big move.
And now it's almost here!! On Tuesday I will leave for the biggest direction-change in my life. All I'm taking with me is the set of clothes I'll be wearing, the medallion I got from Aaron on our honeymoon, basic paperwork, and a calling card. Talk about traveling light!! For 8 weeks I'll be meeting challenges at boot camp, while Aaron moves to Fort Meade, where my A-school will be.
I'm hugely excited, but just today I started getting really sad about leaving Aaron. Last night I woke up crying because I was dreaming about goodbyes... :( This will be a trying time for us both. In the summer of 2008, we lived several hours apart. He worked construction and I was a camp counselor, very busy weeks. We hardly saw one another at all, but when we reunited, our relationship became several times stronger. I'm hoping for that same experience.
Another great fear that has consumed me is my terror of deep water. The idea of a deep water jump literally makes me sick. Several people have said it seems like I have some past trauma causing such deep distress around large bodies of water. I've been trying to think back, but I really don't remember being around water much at all as a kid. I wish my mom could tell me whether I'd had any such experience. That's definitely going to be one of the biggest trials to overcome during my basic training.
Other than that, I'm very much anticipating the challenges. The working out 6 days a week will help put me in the top shape of my life so far. I love book studies, so all the history of the Navy will fascinate me. Following orders with precision is something I can thank my step dad for-he beat it into me, but it's going to help in this area. And I would love a couple months of no phones, emails... a return to the days when I had 20 penpals. I can write real letters again!!
It's a crazy time where I'm waiting for a really big day to come. I'm looking forward to it eagerly, and yet at the same time I'm trying hard to make every moment last, especially the ones with Aaron. We made a 'bucket list' of all the things I wanted to do before I left Nebraska-baking bread, eating at a mexican diner, going to look at puppies, etc.-and then we did them all. We picked a puppy that we will be getting for Christmasssss:
This one! It's a little Bichon puppy. It doesn't shed, yip, or bite. Super family dog, always happy, and pretty good left alone. They don't get very big, and they are soooooo cuddly!!!
We also had to go car shopping. I've been looking for a while for a newer car to replace my little Taurus, which wouldn't survive the trip to Florida. So we looked for quite a while. I wanted something big enough to carry a small family, not sporty but not old-lady, and orange. This is the one that caught my eye and was highly approved of by Aaron:
Is it beautiful? I can tell it's a he, and a rather macho he, but in a protective way. So... almost a Bruce, except that's a tad too macho. Anyways, I do like it very much and can't wait to get out of boot camp and drive it.
Soooo... things are about to turn very good. I'm taking charge of my life and future, and it looks very bright indeed. My last few days are going like this:
Thursday/Friday, Aaron and I took a few days to shop, relax, swim, run, watch tv, snuggle, do things that married people love to do. Today we met up with Aaron's family and watched Rango-funny movie!! We'll be here till Monday. Dad Hoyt is making fajitas right now, and they smell fantastic. Monday we will return briefly to Norfolk. I have to wax my legs, because they only let us shave on weekends (howls in pain). Then I am going to tan one last time, eat a footlong (or part of one, at least) at Subway, and say goodbye to Lynne, where I'm sure I'll start crying uncontrollably.
I'm also going to the YMCA with Aaron for about an hour and attempting the jump off the diving board. (screams in terror). Then we are leaving for Omaha, where my buddy Ed and I will sign in to our hotel rooms at the military's hotel. We'll eat with our families and spend our last evening all together.
Tuesday I'll be up and at the MEPS at 5:30, checking through, and getting a few hours in with Aaron. Ed and I will swear in together around 1 pm, and then we get our airline tickets. Since Aaron is a spouse, he will get a pass through to the airline gate, where he can remain until we say our final goodbyes. And then... on to the next greatest adventure!!!

On the Not-So-Still Voice Within
-Webster's Dictionary
I've been wondering exactly what a conscience is. Especially because mine seems to be faulty.
When I was really young, mom made some kind of corncake patty thing that was nasty. It was chunky, bland, and I could not stomach it. I watched as Berea was scolded and made to sit until she had finished the meal, and instead of refusing to eat it as she had, I stealthily slipped it into my pocket. Later, while gardening out back, I dug a hole and buried my poor dead tasteless patty. And I felt absolutely no regret for doing so.
On the other hand, I had a vicious sense of justice. When my cousins came over and were instructed not to leave the backyard, it was me who convinced them that the neighbor's house was much more fun. (the boys were easily convinced, I learned, growing up. They are all fine men now; but as boys I think I got them into more than their share of trouble.) The moment they left the yard, I rushed in to tell grandma.
Many of the rules my dad enforced were met with much hostility. Wearing dresses always, even in winter? God, how awful would that be!! Leaving the church where all my best friends attended for a remote home-church, on a farm, with about 40 kids who acted far superior than me? He had to be loony. I never felt a bit of regret for hating every rule he made, and for arguing with him constantly until he was in tears and I was enraged.
Somehow, the only time I remember actually feeling guilt in my childhood was around my mom. My mother was a total saint in my eyes, the example of selflessness and holiness. With several children suffering from a hereditary bone disease, she continued to faithfully have children as God led her to do. She inspired me to be a dutiful daughter and she encouraged me when I felt as though I had no strength to please my step dad or to take yet another baby under my wing. I protected my mother fiercely, and so I was crushed whenever she was upset. When she would refuse to talk to me, or when she yelled, I cowered in total shame and disgust at myself. I would bear the criticism of one night for weeks on end, hurting myself out of despair for my soul. It was from these experiences that I came to truly sympathize with Martin Luther. "As an Augustinian monk, Martin Luther bore the guilt of his sin. He saw God as a just God who must punish sin. As a result, Luther often starved himself and whipped himself in an effort to cleanse himself of sin."-Staupitz
Fast forward a few years. When I turned 18, I was sent to Colin and Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies. There I was trained to be a beautiful, godly young woman, and to bless others in everything I did and said. And it would have been a very fruitful time of my life, had my conscience not kicked in at that point.
My entire childhood had been a lie that my parents had supported. I'd lived to tell others how blessed my life was, when in reality I had a life from hell and I resented it. I hated my step dad and his special attentions to me. I hated that whenever I gained a friend, ties would quickly be severed from her and I would be torn. I hated the standards that left me in long pioneer dresses and with long, curly hair past my waistline. I hated everything about my life except one thing. I never held resentment against my siblings.
So when I began to enjoy the constant encouragement and energy of the Campbell sisters, Serene, Pearl and Vangie, the pain that had lay frozen for over a decade began to thaw. And I felt guilty for lying about my childhood. I also ached for them to know that my life wasn't all joy and love and happiness. I cautiously began to drop hints about the torture I endured at home. And I was met with utmost sympathy. I started to find a hidden side of me at that place; a me that could sing and enjoyed to. A girl who could create a paradise with her imagination and keep children transfixed for hours with stories. And then my family found out what I'd been saying, and the whole world collapsed.
I became nothing, living inside a shell of someone who was racked with pain. I tried once more in the following year to tell the truth to my dearest friend, a dear older lady I met at church. And she promised that she would believe me no matter what, but I was a fool to believe that. My mom swept in again, this time traveling up to Tennessee on her whirlwind of justice, told the people of Franklin the 'truth' about my step dad's honorable reputation and my lying nature and attention-starved personality. Once again I was left with absolutely nothing. This time I felt no shame. No guilt.
Actually, I felt nothing whatsoever, until six months later. Mom had brought me home, but my step dad said he didn't want me in the house, so she lovingly left me at a park in town to find myself a place to stay. I stayed in the park for a few days, not caring about anything, until my mom's best friend Lynne learned of my situation and took me to her house. Lynne was my savior. Not only did she love me when my own mother couldn't find it in herself to do so, but while mom was out running around with her new boyfriend, leaving step dad angry at me and howling to Lynne about how I wrecked the home, I told her the truth about my step dad-and she believed me. Instantly, she said that she had no doubt in her mind that he had hurt me in unspeakable ways. That was the day I began to live again. Three weeks later, I met Aaron and thanks to Lynne, I was able to smile at him and begin our beautiful friendship that is now my life.
When all of that happened, in the fall of 2007, a new conscience was born inside me. A new sense of justice, as well. Now that I had permission to be very angry at my step dad, I chose to forgive him. The one person who inspired so much in me, my mom, now inspired some things that I'd never felt toward her-anger. Betrayal. I felt so hurt by what my mom had done to me my entire life. I still felt protective towards her, as she appealed to my old heart strings and pitifully told me how in pain she was, but I no longer viewed her as perfect. I felt sick knowing she had known that her kids were racked with a disease that she carried, and yet she kept bringing more disabled kids into the world to suffer. I felt a lot of other things too, a bit at a time, as I became truly aware of details I had never paid attention to in my lust for love from her.
Now? Now I have a sense of conscience that's nothing like it was, but it's stronger when I feel something is truly wrong. One day in the mall, I tried on an outfit that cost way too much and regretted it instantly, because it looked fabulous. I thought how it would feel to just walk out of the store wearing it under my clothes. My first reaction was of guilt that I had even thought of such a solution. I ended up leaving it, of course, and Aaron, my sweet man, brought it home to me that night, having bought it after I left. Win-win!!
But things that seemingly inspired guilt for my parents don't affect me. My conscience hasn't bothered me now that I wear jeans almost every single day-and not jean skirts, either. I didn't feel a single pang of guilt when I cut my hair shorter than my husband's, and highlighted it too! When people ask if I plan on having a big family too, I can groan with a clean conscience, roll my eyes, and announce, "God, NO. Two at the most, and my anklebiters are going to public school!!!" while my husband nods enthusiastically.
So what is conscience? What makes some things so right for some people and yet a sin worthy of hell for others? Why can I drink alcohol with no regrets but some can't? Is conscience an innate instinct that knows what is good or bad for you, like whether you could become an alcoholic or not? Is it truly a moral compass, or is that a compass of societal pressure? Does it really become impossible to hear, like my step dad said, when you choose not to listen to it? Or is it that things that made you feel guilty simply don't apply anymore when you're grown?
"Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all." -Oscar Wilde

A word before we start with the actual translation:
This is a translation of the respectiveAT-Wiki-Page. We considered this necessary to ensure the inclusion of fellow wazers in Austria, who do not have German as their mother language. Also we would like to encourage INTL-Users to see how we solve AT-typical problems and share their thougts with us, so we added some explanations (for background information or discussion purposes) you will not find in the original version - like this preface. They are formatted in Italic-style to seperate them from the translation. Don't hesitate to use the link to the Austrian forum, even if it is in German - some of us will reply to english posts too. Now back to the translation.
This documentation is intended to give the new editors a good start up in editing roads and follows the KISS (Keep It Simple and Stupid) principle.
It is therefore kept strictly basic and staight forward, so it does not reflect every possibility or aspect.
In case of any questions visit the Regional Forum Austria. (German forum, but feel free to post in english - that's easier for us to understand than any automated translation)
Road Classification
How to name roads, road labels and urban areas in Austria.
- AT-Editors are encouraged to use this document as a reference: Referenzseite
Map Legend Austria
The Map Legend Austria contains information about labeling and the varous segments.

This list is meant as a reference to the Austrian road system. The original designations of the various road types (as used on traffic signs) are not translated
- Freeway => Autobahnen and Schnellstraßen (Ax, Sx)
- Major Highway => Bundesstraßen and Landesstraßen (Bxxx)
- Minor Highway => Landesstraßen (Lx - Lxxx)
- Ramps => Ramps and Exits of Freeways
- Primary Street => Main streets, main traffic routes in larger cities and low level Landesstraßen (Lxxxx)
- Street => all other roads
- Service Road => category does not exist any more
Other - drivable
- Dirt Roads/4x4 Trails => Feldstraßen (Land- & Forstwitschaft), Waldstraßen etc.
- Parking Lot Road => roads off the main roadgrid, dedicated for parking purposes, gas stations, Drive-Thru
- Private Road => private roads (for residents only), access to residential areas
- Walking Trails => Fußwege (foot paths), roads not accessible by private vehicles
- Pedestrian Boardwalk => Fußgängerzonen, Uferwege / pedestrian zones, bank paths

- Runway/Taxiway => Lande- und Rollbahnen
currently not supported in the client, using the Landmark (Airport) is absolutely sufficient!)
How to label and name roads in the Editor
Before getting to the point of this chapter a word of advise: For a better comprehension of the way waze is caculating routes please visit the Quick Help and enter "Penalty" into the NanoRep box. This provides valuable knowledge for a better understanding of the following secttion.
Road and City Names
The Waze-Client offers TTS (Text to Speech) since version 3.2.x.
Road names are announced according to how they are written in the Map Waze Editor.
An implementation of voice control is available in N.A. and is scheduled for German too.
Therefore it is neccessary to avoid abreviations - allways use the full written name.
Urban Areas
The City field comprises the Gemeindename.
City is short for Municipality.
Postal Codes and naming of urban areas (i.e. towns or suburbs) is currently not supported in the Editor.
Each and every segment should have the city field filled (exceptions see below).
Allways use the full written form in the City Field. For example:
"Sankt Anna am Aigen" instead of "St. Anna a. Aigen"
"Bruck an der Leitha" instead of "Bruck a/d Leitha"
The Gemeindename is to be applied in the City field for all roads in the area of a Gemeinde, except for Freeways, which are to be labeled as "No City" (see below).
Autobahnen and Schnellstraßen (A & S)
- Road Type: Freeway
- activate No-City checkbox
- Name: <Codenumber of Autobahn> if aplicable add <Euro-Route-Number>
Examples "A1 - E60" res. "A1"
- Alt. Name of Autobahnen
Example "West Autobahn"
- Name <Codenumber of Schnellstraße> (S1, S36 etc.) if applicable add <Euro-Route-Number>
Example: "S37" or "S3 - E49"
- Alt. Name of Schnellstraßen
Example "Klagenfurter Schnellstraße"
- Elevation: to be set to actual elevation, like all other roads (not exclusively to elevation 0, like it was in the past, bridges are +1, tunnels are -1 (and the tunnel checkbox ticked)
with crossovers/undergrade crossings the crossing segment ist set to +/-
- activate Toll Road checkbox on all Freeway segments, where the 'Vignette' (road tax sticker) has to be affixed to the car (Exception: those parts of the Austrian high level road grid, that are specifically excluded from the mandatory toll); 'Sondermautstrecken' (parts of the highway, where you have to pay an additional toll at the toll boothes, see http://www.asfinag.at/toll/special-and-videotoll) have to be marked as Toll Road as well (there is no differentiation possible)
Note: Please use " - " (<blank><minus><blank>) to separate Autobahn-/Schnellstraßen-number from Euro-Route-Number. Be also aware that some roads or part of roads of the Austrian freeway-network (Autobahnen & Schnellstraßen) are not part of the Euro-Route-Network and therefore do not have Euro-Route-Numbers.
On-Ramps and Off-ramps (Exits)
- Road Type: Ramp
- activate no City checkbox
- AltName: none
- On-Ramps
- Name: <Codenumber> ">" <Name of indicated City>
Example "A1 > Salzburg" or "A2 - E66 > Wien / Klagenfurt"
Note: TTS interprets ">" as "Richtung" (Direction)
- Toll road: activated (according to the toll road status of the road it is going to/from)
- Name: <Codenumber> ">" <Name of indicated City>
- Off-Ramps (Exits)
- Name: <AS><blank><Nr><blank><Name of indicated City> Example"AS 19 Traiskirchen" br>Note: TTS interprets "AS" as "Ausfahrt" (Exit)
- Toll Road: deactivated
Apply a "Junction/Interchance" landmark to the junction/exit and name it <km><blank><Name>
i.e. 115 Mautern in Steiermark
Editing Autobahnen
Austrian Editors are encouraged to refer to the German page Autobahnen bearbeiten which offers a good Instuction for editing Autobahnen and Ramps/Exits.
Bundesstraßen and Landesstraßen (Bxxx)
- Road Type: Major Highway
- Rural Areas:
- Name: <Codenumber><blank><minus><blank><Name> (if aplicable add <Euro-Route-Number>)
Example: "B70 - Völkermarkter Straße" or "B4 - E49 - Horner Straße"
- AltName: <Name> without the codenumber in front, City: No City
- Name: <Codenumber><blank><minus><blank><Name> (if aplicable add <Euro-Route-Number>)
- Urban Areas (where the road is given a street/address name IRL): (Example B129 crossing Linz)
- Name: <Codenumber><blank><minus><blank><local name in the city> ((if aplicable add <Euro-Route-Number>)
Example: "B125 - Freistädter Straße" (ad housenumbers if necessary)
- AltName: local name in the city (address) without the road codenumber in front
- AltName: Name in rural areas without the codenumber in front, City: No City
- Name: <Codenumber><blank><minus><blank><local name in the city> ((if aplicable add <Euro-Route-Number>)
Annotation: the AltNames without the code number and with NoCity are necessary for the address search, because it finds only exact matches (and nobody will search for the address "B125 - Freistädter Straße", only for "Freistädter Straße").
Heres another example, this time illustrated:
In the Municipality of Sallingberg the "B36 - Zwettler Straße" is crossing the village Lugendorf, where Houses along the B36 (example Lugendorf 5) are NOT adressed with "Zwettler Straße"
...finally the "Overkill": what to do, if two different Landesstraßen B share the same Segment? Just follow this example:
Landesstraßen (Lx – Lxxx)
- Road Type: Minor Highway
- Name: as explained above, handling is the same in urban and rural areas
Hauptstraßen and low level Landesstraßen (Lxxxx)
- Road Type: Primary
- Name: as explained above, if there is no name / it is unknown, use only the Codenumber instead e.g. "L4001"
other Roads, secondary Roads
- Road Type: Street
- Name: <Name>
- AltName: leave empty
Fuel Stations, Rest Areas, Drive Ins
- Road type: Parking Lot Road
- Toll Road checkbox: only as required according to österreichische Vignettenverordnung
Note: Rest Areas at Motorways are considered part of the Motorway and therefore the toll-sticker has to be on a vehicle, even if there is access via a tollfree road too! Therefore we mark them, we won't let you get fined.
Other Drivable roadtypes
Farmroads, Fieldtracks etc.
- Road Type: Dirt Roads/4x4 Trails
Roads in parking areas and roads leading into parking lots
- Parking Lot Road
Roads reserved for Residents or employees on a company area
- Road Type: Private Road
Please keep in mind, that Waze allows routing along such roads too. Routing along roads reserved for residents should be prevented. Consult the Regional Forum Austria, for more information about suitable measures, if the need arises.
Other Non-Drivable Roadtypes
- Road Type: Walking Trails
- Direction: Unknown
Fußgängerzonen, Uferwege
- Road Type: Pedestrian Boardwalk
- Direction: Unknown
Please keep in mind, that Waze basically includes such segments in the routing, if there is no other alternative to reach the destination. The term "Non-Drivable" can therefore be a bit confusing. As with "Private Roads", try to ensure, that such elements are excluded from routing.
For proper techniques consult the Regional Forum Austria or contact experienced users there(CM und AM)
- Name: Name of the railroad line (e.g. Westbahn)
- City: Name of the city
- Road Type: Railroad / Eisenbahn
- Direction: Unknown
- Elevation/Ebene: actual elevation, like with roads (not exclusively to elevation -5, like it was in the past), with crossovers/undergrade crossings the railroad is set to +/-
- Lock: 5
- if there is a level-crossing with roads a junction should be created to get correct transit time values before and after the railroad crossing
Tram lines should not be mapped.
For all roads below the surface we apply to the folowing method:
The elevation is set to -1 and the tickbox tunnel is checked. The segment with elevation -1 should start at least 15 metres before the tunnel and end at least 15 metres after the tunnel, so waze can recognize the user entering and leaving the tunnel segment.
Apply a Landmark covering the tunnel-section.
- Typ: Tunnel
- name: <Designation of Tunnel><blank><Length in m>"m"
Example: "Herzogbergtunnel 2093m" or "Unterflurtrasse Kaisermühlen 2120m"
Whenever you bring the end of a road onto an existing road a junction with turn restrictions is created.
Basically a junction has no influance on labeling an naming, the forementioned rules apply unchanged. In case of a complicated junction or just to get an idea, what possibilities there are to influence the behaviour of the client please refer to the Junction Style Guide (Warning, not KISS).
Again, for a better comprehension of the way waze is caculating routes feel free to visit the Quick Help and enter "Penalty" into the NanoRep box.
- Why not use abreviations?
As mentioned above Waze uses the entries for TTS, apart from certain keywords abreviations cannot be processed and therefore prevent proper function of the TTS.
- Straße or Strasse?
In Austria the proper spelling for road is "Straße". If your device does not support the German letter "ß" the use of the secondary spelling "Strasse" is acceptable. Wenever possible, one should try to use the proper form (i.e. try AltGr+"s" or copy from an existing road using the clipboard) to ensure homogenous spelling.
- Still questions
Feel free to paticipate in the Regional Forum Austria. The Austrian community happiliy welcomes every editor willing to activly participate.
Once again we would like to encourage you to state your comments or questions in English, even if the Austrian forum is in German. Some of us will surely reply to your posts.
Please keep in mind, that all of us - like you - are not Waze-employees and have private life too. So please allow some time for response (especially during weekends or public holidays).

The upcoming Superman vs. Batman extravaganza cast a Wonder Woman last week. What's not so clear is how Diana Prince will be worked into the plot, and the romantic turn of the recent Superman/Wonder Woman comics series has some wondering whether she'll be a rival to Lois Lane for Clark Kent's affections.
It seems Amy Adams (our current Lois) would rather not, thanks.
Time points to a recent video interview where the actress was asked whether she'd be interested in playing out a love triangle with the two superheroes. And it sounds like she'd really prefer to skip it: "I don't know. I mean, we'll see. I hope that I can be involved with a woman on screen where we're not in a love triangle. That would be fun." (It's worth noting this interview was for American Hustle, where she's in, yup, a love triangle.)
"Maybe where we team up together and we work as teammates instead of adversaries," she added.
Dare to dream, Amy.

In early February the National Museum of Korea, in Seoul, will present Art Across America—the first major historical survey of American art ever to be presented in Korea. The exhibition was co-organized by LACMA, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Terra Foundation. LACMA sent nearly forty paintings to be part of the show, including major works like Mary Cassatt's Mother about to Wash Her Sleepy Child, Georgia O'Keeffe's Horse's Skull with Pink Rose, and Henry Inman's No-Tin (Wind). Also among the paintings was John Singleton Copley's Portrait of a Lady, painted in 1771 (learn more about the painting here).
In advance of its journey to Korea, Portrait of a Lady made a stop in LACMA's conservation center for a much-needed cleaning. We captured the process on video so you could see the remarkable transformation.
Our amazing conservators are able to carry out extraordinary efforts like this thanks to contributions from our members and gifts in any amount to the LACMA Fund. So, as you peruse the list of great benefits you can get as a member (like free tickets to Stanley Kubrick and Caravaggio, and free general admission all year), bear in mind that being a member means even more—we can preserve history thanks to you.

A mountain of research suggests that students perform better when they get more time in school. A longer school year would help. So California children should have to spend more time in school during the summer.
But the Los Angeles Unified School District's proposal to use more of the summer for school, as reported in the Los Angeles Times, doesn't make any sense. LAUSD is merely proposing to shift the school year into the summer so that important tests can be given before the Christmas holiday. The district won't make the school year longer. To the contrary, the district will end school in the spring earlier -- and, in the likely event of additional budget cuts, may have to shorten the overall year further than it already has.
If school children are going to have to sweat out August in class, we should be giving them more of an education.

Ever since December 2013, we have had snowstorms, which have gotten more severe. Two weeks ago, the day before the Super Bowl it started to warm up, then on Super Bowl day it was beautiful. Since then, it seems more like Juneau, Alaska, than New York City.
It has been frigid cold with snow and ice. This weather has really been hard on everyone of all ages, the old and the young suffering the most. The ice is especially dangerous. So, please be careful walking and if there are any problem areas on our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue from Dexter Court to 100th Street please call our GWDC/WBID office at (718) 805-0202 and we will address the location.
Remember only 27 days before daylight savings time, when it's lighter later. Also, the sun will be stronger and the snow will be a memory.
As all Woodhavenites we have to keep on getting down to our Jamaica Avenue. In spite of the continued bad weather, the stores are open and there are residents walking on our avenue. If you can't get to our avenue, there are many food stores, restaurants and businesses that deliver.
Some of our supermarkets offer free home delivery. Some can take orders over the telephone. So, if you don't want to go out, stay home and get what you want delivered right to your door.
Being so preoccupied by this brutal weather, we almost forgot our day for "lovers," Valentine's Day, will arrive on Friday of this week. There are still many gifts and tokens of love available on our "Everything Avenue."
As I have stated before, in our many stores you can buy cards with loving sentiments and any "heartfelt" gifts you may need. Most of our stores are family owned and operated, and offer personalized warm attention to their shoppers. All on your award-winning Woodhaven's Business Improvement District.
So buy that perfume, a gift certificate, jewelry, special outfit and especially the homemade delicious box of chocolates for that loving lady in your life. And for that special guy buy him a shirt, a special manly cologne and if you really want to show your love, let him have some of your chocolates. All, of course purchased on our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue for Valentine's Day and on Presidents Day too.
So please, always shop locally, especially now in these difficult times keep your money in our Woodhaven community. I hope that you have a very loving day with many appreciated gifts.
Remember, Woodhaven storeowners and business owners care about Woodhaven, for they contribute toward your WBID to fund keeping your Jamaica Avenue vital.
So shop locally, when you come home from work or when you can get down to our avenue.
Remember our children will be safe in New York because of our Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, who is prosecuting all child abuse cases to the fullest extent of the law. If you suspect child abuse, call (800) 342-3720, you may remain anonymous.
Sadly we lost an excellent professional respected photographer recently, Ira Cohen of the Queens Tribune. Ira was a veteran of the Vietnam War. In addition to being so talented, because of his service he was also a hero and will be missed.
May God bless our leaders, may God bless our armed forces, and most of all, may God bless our America.

Sarah Perez over at ReadWriteWeb has a post up titled Are you Over AIR Applications in which she talks about her change in perspective on the value of AIR and how much benefit desktop applications provide over browser applications. It's a pretty good post, and one that I hope drives some traffic and conversation, especially as we're hearing more about things like Chrome, Firefox 3.5, and the Chrome OS.
Web Technologies
One of the best parts of AIR is that it uses web technologies like HTML/Javascript and Flash. Web developers are a creative and innovative bunch. I'd argue that one of the main reasons Web 2.0 exploded the way it did was because web developers took to their destiny as the drivers of technology. Web development is relatively easy to learn but complex enough to keep the challenges coming. It's also more productive than traditional languages because it's both faster and it's cross-platform. The strength of web development is a strength of AIR. Look at the first wave of a game-changing technology like Twitter. Almost all AIR applications. That's because web technologies are easy and AIR made it very simple to quickly create a new kind of experience for a new kind of service. Tweetdeck and Twhirl got a first mover advantage and reaped the rewards. The development speed that the web allows for shouldn't be discounted.
Notifications and Files
I think notifications, or the "toast" windows that you can pop up in AIR are more and more important as the web gets more real time. People want the firehose and they want it as soon as they can get it. Another area that I think AIR hasn't been used enough for are filetypes. It's incredibly powerful to be able to not only create items on the file system but to associate those with your applications. So far there hasn't been need to create things like a .twitter file extension, but the next generation of web services may see big benefits from users being able to create those extensions. And of course with the file system you get some inherent benefits like the ability to tie into Spotlight or other desktop searches.
Ultimately I think both the browser and a more web-centric approach to desktop applications will succeed. The cross platform benefits, the improved developer productivity, and the close integration with web services are going to be instrumental in driving adoption for web applications both inside and outside of the browser. I hope AIR continues to do well and help drive innovation for web applications on the desktop. Seeing technologies like Google Gears and Titanium's Appcelerator prove to me that the space is still growing and that we've got a lot of demand for a blend of web and desktop. And we've got a lot of enhancements coming up in the next version of AIR, so we're not standing still. Stay tuned.

Meet Lily's New Playmate!
His name is Hugo Boss and he's a seventeen month old frenchie. Poor fella couldn't catch a break with his previous two homes.
I picked him up this morning and since then he's been Lily's shadow. They're so smitten with each other it's great!
The two of them are passed out behind me after an epic romp in the park . I'm still not used to calling his name so there were a few moments he got away from me and into the water. I freaked at first but then another woman had her dog in there too so uh…NBD I guess.
Tonight is Lily's birthday celebration; my piglet is turning TWO! Like last year, all the dogs (Hugo included) will have outfits.
So off I go for some last minute preparations. Cheers from Lily, Hugo, and me!
April 29, 2012 6:25 pm
oh my gosh he's your newest addition?! what a cutie pie! i am so happy for you and lily 🙂 happy birthday to the prettiest piglet everrr!
raesock permalinkApril 29, 2012 7:02 pm
oh my gosh he is so cute!! what a precious pair. congratulations on your new addition! I think every doggy needs a friend. I know my pug is much happier now that she has a little pug friend.
mkatiecanavan permalinkApril 29, 2012 10:37 pm
He's such a cutie! Yay, I look forward to many photoshoots with the two of them!
April 30, 2012 6:48 am
HUGO BOSS! That's an awesome name. He's super cute, is he yours for keeps???
eddunsmore permalinkApril 30, 2012 3:39 pm
Good thing Lily is not jealous. Know he will have a good home with you and your family.
Huge is so cute.
April 30, 2012 6:04 pm
NEWWW BEASTIEEEE! I love them both. I wish we could get Cypress a beast-sibling.
May 1, 2012 3:13 am
Two Frenchies?! He's a handsome boy! Why has he been returned from two previous homes, were these people crazy? Frenchies are the nicest dogs around so I can't fathom why someone would adopt one and then return it (unless they had small kids but even so that's something they should have researched). Anyway, Happy Birthday Lily and welcome to Hugo!
May 1, 2012 9:45 am
What a cute dog! You're incredibly lucky that he gets along with your other little one. And the name – Hugo Boss – amazing!

Global Warming Solutions
"We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last generation that can do something about it."
- Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee
The last generation
Years ago, many of us thought of global warming as something that would happen "someday." As it turns out, "someday" is right now.
Since 2001, we've experienced 15 of the 16 warmest years on record — including 2015, the hottest year ever recorded. As the oceans warm, we're learning that it's no longer a question of if the Antarctic ice sheet will melt, but how fast.
We're fast approaching the point when scientists say climate change could tip toward catastrophe, with sea levels rising faster along our coasts, storms growing more powerful, and droughts and other forms of extreme weather more disruptive.
Credit: Leonard Zhukovsky/Bigstock
Of course, nobody wants to leave the next generation a world where heat waves, floods, droughts and worse are everyday events in an increasingly dangerous world.
If we accept, as we must, the broad scientific consensus that human pollution is accelerating these changes, then this is our challenge: stop putting carbon into the atmosphere, increase our energy efficiency, and repower our society with clean, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
The good news is that solutions like solar, wind and energy efficiency not only reduce carbon pollution. They also clean up our air, reduce asthma attacks, and promote energy independence.

The Clean Power Plan
In Washington, D.C., President Obama has demonstrated strong leadership on this issue. For example, in June 2014 he moved forward with what The New York Times called "the strongest action ever taken by an American president to tackle climate change."
The president's Clean Power Plan would limit — for the first time ever — carbon pollution from dirty power plants.
Why power plants? The country's more than 500 coal-fired power plants are America's No. 1 source of global warming pollution — even bigger than cars and trucks.
In fact, the Clean Power Plan would cut this pollution at least 30 percent by the end of the next decade. By giving the states the option to replace dirty coal plants with wind, solar and energy efficiency, it also has the potential to speed the shift to clean power. And the plan is an essential part of the success of the Paris Agreement, the first-ever universal, legally binding global climate deal, which was signed by 195 countries in December 2015.

More than 8 million supporters
A recent poll shows that 2/3 of all Americans back the Clean Power Plan. Americans have submitted more than 8 million comments asking the EPA to take action on the issue. More than 600,000 of these comments have come from our members and supporters.
Unfortunately, in February 2016, the Supreme Court delivered a major blow to climate action, announcing it will put the Clean Power Plan on hold while it hears lawsuits from polluters and their allies who want to kill the plan. This decision is a huge loss for our kids' future and for all Americans who care about the health of our planet.
The actions the United States has taken to date are necessary — but not yet sufficient — to prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperatures. In order to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2°C (3.6°F) — the international consensus target for preventing the worst consequences of warming — the U.S. must cut emissions at least 80 percent below 1990 levels by mid-century.
Leaders at all levels of government across the United States must follow through with existing commitments to reduce pollution. Leaders at all levels of government should identify and pursue new policies to cut pollution. And the U.S. must play a leadership role in the global movement to limit global warming.

Protect our children's future
As Gov. Inslee pointed out, global warming is the challenge of our generation.
Protecting our children's future requires us to stop dumping carbon into our atmosphere, and there's no better place to start than with America's No. 1 global warming polluters.

DALLAS - New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has backed out of an appearance at a Baptist mega church in Dallas run by a pastor who has created controversy with his remarks about gays and other faiths.
Tebow tweeted Thursday that he cancelled a scheduled April 28 appearance at First Baptist Church due to "new information that has been brought to my attention."
"I will continue to use the platform God has blessed me with to bring Faith, Hope and Love to all those needing a brighter day," Tebow wrote.
The Rev. Robert Jeffress, First Baptist's pastor, confirmed in a phone interview that Tebow called him Wednesday night to cancel.
Jeffress said Tebow told him he would like to speak at First Baptist at some point, but "he needed to avoid controversy right now for personal and professional reasons."
Jeffress has preached that gay sex is sinful, Mormonism is a cult and Islam promotes violence and pedophilia. He said Thursday that First Baptist was being mischaracterized as a "hate church," and that the church's teachings were consistent with historic Christian beliefs.
Tebow wasn't going to speak about anything controversial, Jeffress said.
"We had planned for him to speak very positively about the difference Jesus Christ had made in his life," Jeffress said.
Tebow won two BCS championships and the Heisman Trophy at Florida, but he has struggled to make it in the NFL. He barely played last season after the Jets traded for him from the Denver Broncos, where he started much of the season in 2011 and won a playoff game.
Tebow is a devout Christian who has built a large following through his faith. He has addressed church audiences before. Last year, he spoke to about 15,000 people gathered at an outdoor Easter service north of Austin.

We caught a first look at it a couple of weeks back, but here's a longer, better look at Outlast, an upcoming survival horror game from Red Barrels, a new studio made up of former Assassin's Creed, Uncharted and Splinter Cell developers.
If you're not a fan of the setting up top, you'll hopefully like this: the team's mission goal says they are "an independent game studio focused on creating unforgettable single-player games."
The world needs more of that sort of business, so bless them for at least trying.

Wait a minute, the Bulls needed a 37-win team to lose its itty-bitty point guard,
I didn't know Darren Collison was the most important player in this series.
Wait a minute, I think the Bulls just committed another turnover.
After committing 14 of them in Game 1, the supposedly well-drilled, quick-study Bulls committed a stunning 21 in Game 2. I'm sure the Bulls entered the series with an offensive plan, but I can't figure out what it is, and worse, neither can the Bulls. Other than the last five minutes when it's "Let Derrick do it.''
Wait a minute, the Bulls outrebounded the Pacers by a staggering 57-33, and it was still a one-possession game with 17 seconds to go?
The Bulls missed a stunning 61 shots, so, sure, they should've had a lot of rebounds, but they kept missing at the rim, as well. You can't give me the excuse that the Pacers' length bothers the Bulls when they rout a team on the boards like that.
The Bulls won the first two games of their opening-round playoff series, but the truth is, the Pacers have won more minutes of this series. They just haven't won the important minutes -- the final minutes.
In Game 2 on Monday night, the Bulls didn't take the lead for good until 5:16 remained when Rose converted a three-point play on his way to 11 of the Bulls' last 20 points. In Game 1 on Saturday, the Bulsl didn't take the lead for good until 48 seconds remained as Rose was scoring 7 of the Bulls' last 10 points. That's what the presumptive MVP does.
In Game 1, the Pacers missed their last eight shots. In Game 2, they got two baskets in the last 5:30, but really only one because the second bucket came with a second left and the game decided.
The Pacers, meanwhile, don't have a closer. Heck they don't have anybody who shows up, period, when it matters.
Lucky for the Bulls that the Pacers don't have a player with the nerve to show up when it matters. For what it's worth, Miami, Boston and Orlando do have those players.
Latest Sports
It might not be time to panic, but it sure looks as if they're feeling the burden of finishing with the best record in the NBA. The pressure looks like it has made them tight to start games --- heck, tight to start the fourth quarter.
These Bulls look like a classic example of a team that soared when nobody expected greatness and then became everybody's pet, but now that everybody's looking and a lot of people are predicting a title or at least a finals appearance, they easily lose the poise and focus that allowed them to execute at the highest level.
Games 1 and 2 would've been considered quality wins if they had come on the road. But they didn't. And now the Bulls actually play on the road. And you know what? This is probably perfect, and here's why:
Playing in Indianapolis will get the Bulls away from all the people telling them how good they are, which is when the Bulls tend to show how good they are.

Hello, I've read over the pages on the forum and was not able to find someone with my exact problem, or viable solution.
Here's my problem, when i see the screen where i'm supposed to select what ISO to load and play, my list is blank. i do have bios selected, and have the ISO files and the bios file in the same folder. something that i have read on here is that my iso files should be .bin.z but all of mine are .bin i am ripping my games directly from the cds, and the programs i have tried using are ImageBurn and Alcohol120%. i've followed tutorials from youtube as to how others have done it using those two programs, and made sure that my options are set correctly (in Alcohol120%, because ImageBurn doesn't have options to change, it's a one button kind of process). i've also searched google and could not locate anything along the lines of this issue, so i'm pretty lost as to what is wrong or even where to begin to fix it.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Lochner v. New York, Myths and Facts
While the title is (intentionally) ambiguous, the book takes no normative positions on constitutional law beyond a not-exactly-bold stance against an unlimited state police power. I made this decision in part because my own views on such things as the scope of the judiciary's role in interpreting the Constitution, originalism, constitutional construction, and so forth are rather ill-formed. But mostly, I wanted to write a serious work of history, and was afraid that if I didn't resolve to avoid normative conclusions I would inevitably be tempted to skew my historical narrative to fit my arguments.
Lochner v. New York, of course, is one of the most notorious Supreme Court cases of all-time, reviled by both left and right. My basic argument is that much of the calumny heaped on Lochner reflects the symbolic role it has come to play in constitutional debate, but has little to do with the actual history of the case itself, or with the broader "liberty of contract" line of cases of which it is the most prominent example.
More on how that symbolic role arose in a later post. For now, I thought I'd briefly recount some of the myths and facts about Lochner recounted in my book. The ideas reflected in this post aren't original to me; the relevant parts of the book are really a synthesis and elaboration of previous revisionist scholarship. I'll talk about some of the more novel aspects of the book later.
Myth 1: Prevalent especially among conservative critics of Roe v. Wade, this myth states that the due process clause protects substantive rights originated in Dred Scott v. Sandford, the pro-slavery case decided in 1858. The point here is to discredit Lochner and its progeny by associating them with the defense of slavery. In fact, due process's role in protecting substantive property rights was accepted before Scott in dozens of state cases that had nothing to do with slavery, and indeed by the Supreme Court itself five years before Scott. Moreover, belief in "substantive due process" was not limited to pro-slavery forces, and indeed was likely more prevalent among abolitionists. The Republican Party platforms, for example, of 1856 and 1860 argued that the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause put substantive limits on federal endorsement of slavery.
Myth 2: Via Lochner and other liberty of contract cases, the Supreme Court tried to impose "laissez-faire" on the United States. While the Supreme Court did invalidate a few significant regulations as violations of liberty of contract, for the most part it upheld innovative regulations. To take one pertinent example, the Supreme Court heard a half-dozen or so challenges to state maximum hours laws. It upheld each of these laws, with only one exception--Lochner itself.
Myth 3: Lochner was the product of judicial formalism that ignored social science data and other evidence in favor of abstract notions of writes. In fact, Peckham's opinion specifically stated that "in looking through statistics regarding all trades and occupations, it may be true that the trade of a baker does not appear to be as healthy as some other trades, and is also vastly more healthy than still others." These statistics were provided in Lochner's brief.
Myth 4: Lochner and other cases protecting liberty of contract was motivated by the Justices' "Social Darwinism." There is really no evidence for this. As I explain in detail in the book, this myth seems to have arisen from a misreading of Justice Holmes's remark in his dissent in Lochner that the "Fourteenth Amendment does not enact Mr. Herbert Spencer's Social Statics," combined with the post-New Deal temptation to associate liberty of contract with the horrors of Naziism. (It didn't help that by the 1940s, very few intellectuals were familiar with the content of Social Statics, and only knew that Richard Hofstader had identified Spencer as a leading Social Darwinist.)
Myth 5: Lochner and other cases invalidating labor regulations illustrate the Supreme Court's hostility to workers and beneficence toward large corporations. This simplistic morality tale is belied by the facts of Lochner itself. For complicated reasons explained in the book, the law was supported by the German-dominated bakers union, and also by the large corporate bakeries that employed union workers. Opposition to the law came from owners of small, nonunionized bakers, who were mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants, and who thought the law was designed to put them out of business.

David, regarding point #4 - it's pretty clear that Holmes was a Social Darwinist -- this comes out clearly in his letters and speeches. This doesn't undercut your point, since you're referring in #4 to the Ct majority. I took up Holmes's views in my very first article. He agreed w/ Malthus, and while skeptical of economic regulation, placed his hopes for the future in the idea that science would breed a better class of human beings. This is why Buck v. Bell was the one case that term (1927) that sparked his interest.

Yes, and it's a great irony that, until recently, the majority was thought to be "Social Darwinist," while today historians have concluded that the only member of the Court who seems to fit that moniker was Holmes, who famously dissented in Lochner.
Thanks for pointing this out.
