Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Originally published in 1989 under the pen name Steffie Hall, Evanovich's comic romantic suspense novel Full House reappears here in what the author calls a "bigger and better" form. Wealthy newspaper owner and horseman Nick Kaharchek meets divorced mom Billie Pearce when she makes polo lessons at his stables part of her summer self-improvement program. Though she's hopeless at polo, Billie is so cute that Nick begins to invent excuses to spend time with her. First, he takes care of her when a horse steps on her foot; then, he arranges for his nutty cousin Deedee, a self-absorbed airhead, to board with Billie while her kids are away. As if that isn't enough, Billie must also contend with a bomb-setting teenager, professional wrestlers, an outbreak of spiders and threats from a mysterious intruder. Evanovich acknowledges in a note to readers that her plotting has gotten more intricate since this book was first written (she's right), but her attempt to rework a formulaic '80s love story for the new millennium doesn't come off. The outcome of the artificial romance between Nick and Billie is obvious from the start, as is the identity of the intruder. Instead, the book's focus is on the slapstick comedy provided by the cast of wacky, though mostly loveable, eccentrics. (Sept.) Forecast: Thanks to Evanovich's sterling reputation and substantial fan base, sales won't falter much, but this trussed-up tale may fall flat for both her mystery-loving fans and readers seeking a truly contemporary romance.

From Booklist
What, readers may wonder, is the best-selling Evanovich doing publishing what looks to be a mass-market romance? As it turns out, this book isn't exactly an original publication. It appeared first, in 1989, under the pseudonym Steffie Hall, before Evanovich switched from romance to mystery and hit the publishing jackpot. Apparently, the author has received numerous queries from knowledgeable fans about the availability of her earlier, pre-Stephanie Plum novels. The publication of this "enlarged" edition of one of those early books is intended to respond to that demand. If nothing else, it will give fans a clear view of how far Evanovich has come in terms of style and characterization. Wealthy Nick Kaharchek isn't known for fraternizing with common folk, but when divorced mom Billie Pearce falls right into his arms, he has trouble letting go. Commonsensical Billie has always led a predictable life, juggling work and family, but her levelheadedness takes a vacation when Nick expresses an interest in her. There's none of the tension--romantic or otherwise--that drives Evanovich's crime novels, but hints of stubborn, self-reliant Stephanie Plum pop up now and again in Billie, and there are signs of the vivid secondary characters the author would later generate for her series. There's even a touch of mystery. This is pleasant, nondemanding fare, but its audience will probably be limited to devoted Evanovich fans (not that there aren't plenty of those) interested in their favorite writer's evolution.

If this has been the first Evanovich book I ever read, I never would have picked up "One for the Money" and the others. The plot is not only predictable and unrealistic, it is flat out unbelievable and immature. It could have been written by a starry-eyed teenager, dreaming of her knight-prince to come in on his horse and sweep her off her feet away from all the problems of the world. Come on, this is the real world here.
The female lead, a divorced mother who conveniently has time to spare given that her children are away for the summer, falls into a rapid romance with a rich, good looking, seemingly perfect man (all the stuff we dream of, girls) who pursues her and asks her to marry him after only knowing her for a few days! The children, upon their return, welcome him with open arms, and all ends happily, despite minor tribulations from absurd characters, a seemingly early, albeit poor, attempt at the Plum style of colorful, goofy characters.
(While I know the Plum novels were not entirely realistic either, most of the plot lines were believable and the characters had some depth. None of that here.) Again, I did not expect this to be a Plum novel, and didn't want it to be, but I expected it to be well thought out and believable.
The bottom line: I abandoned this book on the lounge chair in Mexico, only half-read. Maybe someone else picked it up and enjoyed it, but in reality, I hope it was thrown out by the attendant.
The first half of the book was rather vanilla, but not intolerably so. There was little plot, the characters were uninteresting, and the viewpoint was a hodge-podge of omniscient and third person subjective which was so confusing at times, I had a hard time separating truth/fact from character opinion. For someone as well-published as Evanovich, this book was very poorly written. It reads like someone's first novel. When I learned it was one of her earlier works, I thought I could cut her some slack, but to find out this is a re-written version of it -- BLECH. She should have known enough about how to tell a story by now. This book should have been allowed to go quietly out of print.
I lost interest half-way through the book, and while I am struggling to force myself through it, I don't think I'm going to make it. The dialog is boring, the characters cardboardy, and the plot has simply died. There's nowhere for them to go. The conflict has just petered out, so it's more like looking in the window of an ordinary person, watching their ordinary daily lives. Yawn. Don't waste your money. Get a Stephanie Plum novel if you want a fun read.
As regrards plot it has the one size fits all plot derived from "Pride and Prejudice". Elizabeth Bennett is played by Billy Pearce, a divorced 38 year old mother of two. Darcy is played by Nicholas Kaharchek,a millionaire newspaper owner and polo horse trainer There are some misunderstandings between them but then in the end you'll never guess what happens.
Are there any traces of the brilliance of the One, Two, Three ...Nine series? Occasionally - there's a good scene of buying a wedding dress with a salesperson whose previous job was IRS auditor. The writing is full of cliches. On one page we have"expert hands" "Thoughts into a tailspin""utterly confused""fresh-scrubbed look""simple nature""put on airs" and a man wonders "What was the power she had over him that made him desire her." I've read that romance writers deliberately stick to stereotyped plots and use cliches so maybe it's not all JE's fault. A lot of people like romances and many art forms use conventional formulas. (And Pride and Prejudice is a great novel.}
It's interesting from the point of view of Evanovichian scholarship and I'd love to know what the input of Charlotte Hughes was and to lay my hands on an unaltered early work.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

With a history almost 200 years long, C.F. Martin & Co. is a company that's definitely backed by tradition. They're known primarily for their acoustic guitars, but that's not all they bring to the table: they also make their own line of strings. True to their heritage, most Martin strings are for acoustic guitar - but not all; if you play the bass guitar, banjo, mandolin or ukulele, you can find some strings for your instrument too.
If it is a set of acoustic guitar strings you're looking for, the huge variety available from Martin is sure to offer what you need. Most of these strings use classic bronze or phosphor-bronze construction, and the selection of gauges gives you plenty of options for feel, tone and specialty tunings. For educators or guitar professionals who need lots of spares on hand, Martin offers its most popular strings in packs of 3, 6 or even 12 to let you really stock up.
There's a lot to consider when picking out Martin strings, which is a good thing because it means more choice for you. Are you looking for the best durability? Try the Lifespan SP series, which have a coating that helps them last longer than typical strings. Do you want a set that's easier and more agile to fret, for complex play or learning? If so, the FX Flexible Core line is likely the way to go. They come in bronze, phosphor-bronze and silk-and-phosphor, each of which has its own characteristic feel and sound.
For instruments other than the guitar, Martin's strings are fewer but no less impressive. Take the M600 Standard Crystal Nylon Ukulele Strings, for instance. With these, Martin has improved on the typical nylon string by using a fluorocarbon material for better sound and longer life. Another good example of Martin's quality would be the V730 Medium Vega Banjo Strings, which are excellent all-around strings well-suited to every style of banjo playing.
As you look through the selection of Martin strings, one thing you'll notice is that the best part of all may be how affordable they are. It's not every day that you find a set of strings able to deliver such good results while fitting any budget. Martin definitely delivers, though, and you can't go wrong with the options found here.

The Republican Party
GUESTS: Christopher Caldwell Writer, The Weekly Standard Ed Goeas Republican Pollster President, The Tarrance Group Much has changed since the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994. The solidarity that once existed between GOP members has eroded: Newt Gingrich was nearly overthrown by his allies and Jesse Helms and William Weld created a party split during the bitter debate over Weld's nomination to be US ambassador to Mexico. Now competition is heating up as many Republicans gear up for presidential elections in the year 2000.

In Europe get some from Extremetextile
Indeed yes. Plenty of sneaky spots here.
Im in for this if we can get a venue sorted, or if only a few of us we can sneak off some where!
Yes sounds good.
Looks like a good homemade hammock. Next time you are down the forest give a shout out there seems to be a few of us this way and we be able to get together? Also some of us trying to organise...
Welcome. I hail from the New Forest and it's a great place to hang. There are a few of us from the UK in here.
If there are only a few of use then a discrete overnight should be possible in the New Forest, South Downs or similar.
If you can find a place in Wiltshire then yes that would be better. I could make Wiltshire easily even late evening Friday. If you have a place in mind maybe we could start looking at dates etc.
Is a few miles west of Hereford OK? Know of a woodland that will allow hammocks for £5 night. Either end of summer or mid end of September?
Just tap the menu bar where the clock is and the page will jump to the top without the need to scroll.
Morning Billy
Morning and welcome. Where in the UK are you? There may be other hammock users nearby who can show you their set ups.
There is a few of us on here! Welcome. Hangout sounds good and we did have some discussion about it a while back but nothing was finalised.
Great pics and thanks for sharing. Looks like the hammock guys kept out the mud quite well. Nigel
Hi Pertex is a good fabric for hammocks in the UK. Will keep that Yorkshire breeze out nicely. Have a search on eBay for 'PERTEX MICROLIGHT RIPSTOP FABRIC' a seller has some at a good price.
Great stuff. May get some myself as well. Will they grip ok to silnylon?
OK. Would be good to know if they are the same or similar clips.
Yes I see what you mean. Not seen anything like that in the UK. You still going to rustle up an order? May be tempted to get some for larger tarps and that.
Would these do?
Smooth pebble or cork and a clove hitch??
Do you want them to join tarps or add attachment points to a tarp?
Very nice well done. Quite tempted to try and make one of these and seeing yours even more so. Was it hard to make??
Yes a site/wood with permission for hammocks would be good. If only a few of us can always stealth!
Sounds like a good plan. We did a lot of testing a couple of winters ago before heading off to French mountains. A bit of karrimat is good tobtake just incase you get some chill underneath.
Yes that could be worth a look. Savernake Forrest near Malrborough has a proper but no amenities campsite that may allow hammocks but is a Forrest Holidays site so may be funny about it.
Hi Stephen
Looking for a more official site rather than stealth and maybe less 'bush crafty' than some of the BCUK ones?
CSB - yes I did get the message and could not reply for some reason?...
Very nice under quilt and some fine sewing.
Seems to be a lot of UK hangers on here now and maybe we need a meet up some time next year?
Questions to ask are where would people be willing to travel to?
And can we find a site with...
The photo does look OK although I'm not sure if that picture is of the inside which I believe is the shiny side pr was taken under flash.
I have sone of the teal at home and it certainly more blue than green. Tommorow I will take a photo of it against another colour if you want to see how 'teal' it is?
What UK supplier did you speak to?
I have used pertex for a hammock sock and many of my hammocks are also made from pertex. It is good as a hammock sock and a nice material to work with being less slippery than some nylons.
3 x Giraffe?
I am now living in Hampshire but my hanging buddy lives down the road from you in Kent. Not sure about using the campsite during the school holiday's though as this may be when he is available....
Thanks for that calculation. I weigh around 70KG and have so far come up with 3 different answers using your equation. This is entirely the fault of my rubbish maths!! :confused:
I am going to get...
I have been looking at these ground anchors to use with the Grizz two pole method:
Would there be some benfit from putting say a strip of insect mesh on top that could in certain conditions be turned towards the top to reduce condensation?
I also wonder how much this would reduce...
It's a treated fabric. I think it was a second quality treated nylon. I reakon the conditions I used it in were certainly a factor; quite cold and although windy the tarp blocked most of it, I will...
I had quite bad condensation issues with my sock a few weeks ago with my peapod; although to fair I had it cinched right up and it was still strung across the ridge line it very cold also so one...
I have some of those camcleats and use them with 2mm Spectra for pegging out the tarp. Personally I find the Niteize figure of 8 to efficient for the ridge line. I will however try out your idea as...
Cool thanks for the heads up! Ex demo peapod and with a devalued dollar a bargain for me in the UK! Let's just hope her Majesty's Customs are asleep when it arrives!
Yes, elastic can help to gather the sides forming a better seal between hammock body and underblanket preventing warm air disappearing allowing a bit of give when rolling around etc.
No not in testing and no chance to sleep in properly, I am off at the end of the week for 7/8 nights backpacking in Wales so will have a proper test there. Hopefully by hanging just loose enough...
Very hard to get hold of in the UK, the material for the underblanket and hammock came from Thruhiker, other wise I would agree to buying the down. I suspect this would be an easier option.
The blanket weighs about 630 grams with elastic attachment cord so about 22 ounces in colonial weights
Seriously they are way to heavy for me to take hammocking!
After making my hammock I had a piece of 1.1 oz breathable nylon material left that was 170 x 260cm folded over this gave a double layer 170 x 130 cm, just enough for a lightweight underblanket.
What diameter line do you use? I have 5mm dyneema but want to go a bit lighter as the 5mm seem a bit large!!
Hi Vic
I have a spool of 2mm Dyneema about 15-18 foot long. About 6 feet is all ready wound on the spool then a figure nine followed by a 'prussick knot' loop is attached. 12 feet or so down the...
Please, NO MORE this is making me feel nauseous. :mad:
Cool I live in the UK!:D

Camelus bactrianus
Bactrian camels have two small, conical humps, small ears, and small feet with no chest or leg callosities, which makes the legs appear to be very long. Camels have evolved to cope with life in near-desert and desert conditions. Their nostrils can be closed to keep the blowing sand out. Their humps store energy as rich fats, making it possible to go long periods without food. Thick fur and wool provide warmth during cold winter nights and insulation against daytime heat. The camel differs from other hoofed mammals as the body rests on sole-pads rather than on hooves; only the front ends of the hooves touch the ground. When they do drink, camels can take in 30 gallons at once.
Animal Stats
Animal Class:
at hump: 6.2-7.5 ft
990-1,430 lbs.
Life Span:
30 years
Wild: Thorns, dry vegetation and saltbush. Can endure long periods without water. Zoo: Grains, slabs of hay.
Bactrian camels are native to Mongolia and live in the steppe grassland.

Stupidest thing.. I'll bet I was closer to the towers than most of the posters on this site yet I bet I found out the latest.
I was on the bus somewhere on 5th Ave, probably in the 80s (Manhattan) when the first plane hit. Knew nothing.
I was walking west on 59th around 6th avenue when the second plane hit. Knew nothing.
I was attending John Jay University on 59th and 10th at the time. Around 11:00am, something was said, everyone was told to leave the school. I wasn't sure what happened till about 12:30. From 62nd and Madison, I was able to see all the smoke which was about 7 miles south from me.
My first thought was to punch a hot dog vendor. I'm not joking either. I was 20 years old at the time.

Was in the early days of year 8 at school. Got picked up by my Mum and Sister at 3:45pm UK time (about 1 and 1/2 hours after the planes hit) and until then no-one at school knew a thing about it. Got in the car, my sister said to me "America is under attack". I reacted by asking "by who?". She said "2 planes have flown into the World Trade Center". I had no idea what the WTC was at the time.
Once I got home and we had the TV on I was in shock at the devastation even at that age and watching the replays. I can't remember if I saw the second tower collapse live or not but it was all very shocking to watch. School the next day was strange as you could tell every group in the whole playground was talking about the attacks.

I'm root on a machine I don't know how it was configured.
I try to open SSHD on another port than 22 but it does not work.
I changed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and added a new Port line extra to the Port 22.
but it does only work when this second port is a number above 1024. Why is that? How can I find the reason?
I'm restarting it using /etc/init.d/sshd restart as root.
"netstat -apn" does not show the port is open by any other service (anyway I tried different ports and only above 1024 work).
"telnet localhost port" also shows the service works only when they are above 1024.
In iptables all tables are empty.

CEO Pay Emerges As This Year's Hot Button Issue
Investor discontent for executive compensation packages has caught many corporate boards off guard, particularly since stock prices are generally up, experts say.
At the midway point of the year, the most hotly contested issue to emerge in proxy battles is one many companies weren't anticipating: CEO pay.
Over the last two months, disenchanted shareholders have used corporate annual meetings as a battlefield to wage war over executive compensation, despite the fact that the market was up more than 30% last year and shareholder returns were generally higher than expected.
"This year saw a pay revolt that no one expected," said Michael Pryce-Jones, senior government policy analyst at CtW Investment Group, a firm that represents unionized shareholders in proxy fights with companies. "I think a lot of companies went into this year not believing that pay was going to be an issue because the stock market was up. Most boards think it doesn't matter as long as the stock is performing, and a lot of people were thinking there wouldn't be high profile pay revolts this year."
But such fights have so far been rampant. Perhaps the most glaring among them was at casual dining chain Chipotle, where 77% of shareholders voted down its compensation plan, which would have granted its co-CEOs the opportunity to make up to $285 million over three years. The pay package plan was voted down even after Chipotle's stock has climbed from $376 per share to more than $600 per share in just the last year.
Other companies that faced compensation challenges from shareholders include Domino's Pizza, McDonald's, Nabors Industries, Wal-Mart, Starwood, Burger King, and Sensient Technologies, to name a few.
Pryce-Jones said one of the leading indicators that shareholders are seriously dissatisfied with executive compensation is the fact that typically quiet large institutional investors, namely public pension plans, have voiced their opposition in a number of these battles, among them Chipotle, McDonald's and Domino's.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System, the California State Teachers' Retirement System and the New York City Public Pension Funds all publicly voiced their discontent with these companies pay packages recently, a relatively uncommon practice.
"When CalSTRS and CalPERS go public with their issues," Pryce-Jones said, "I think that speaks to the extent of their concern."

Prevention & screening
Be aware
Occupational exposure
Occupational exposure occurs when a person is exposed to potentially harmful chemical, physical or biological substances at work. People who work with cancer-causing substances (carcinogens) on the job may be exposed to much higher levels of these substances than they would be at home or in their community. Since higher exposure can lead to greater cancer risk, eliminating or reducing exposure is important in the primary prevention of cancer.
Current scientific evidence suggests that being exposed to cancer-causing substances on the job is responsible for a small percentage of cancers. But for those workers, their exposure and risk of cancer is much higher than the average person's.
Occupational exposure is any contact between the human body and a potentially harmful substance that occurs in the workplace. The highest risk occurs when body surfaces, such as the skin, nasal passages and lungs, come in direct contact with the carcinogen. The cancer-causing substance may be absorbed or inhaled. Specific exposures are related to the type of work and the safety precautions taken to reduce exposure.
Potential health risks may also be associated with how certain industries provide services or production. For example, researchers are studying the impact of shift work (working outside the normal workday, often at nighttime) and how it may be associated with cancer risk in workers.
The level of risk depends on the amount and length of exposure, how powerful the carcinogen, the presence of other risk factors and a person's susceptibility. Some workers may have greater and longer exposures to harmful chemicals in the workplace and their risk of cancer may be a lot higher.
The Canadian Cancer Society strongly supports that Canadian workers should not be exposed to carcinogens in the workplace. Where exposure cannot be eliminated, it should be reduced to the lowest possible level. We also believe this will require the following commitments by employers, governments and individuals.
Employers must:
Governments must develop evidence-informed legislation and regulations to protect workers.
Individuals have the right (under provincial, territorial and federal health and safety legislation) to refuse work that exposes them to known and highly suspected carcinogens.
If you're concerned about exposure to a potential cancer-causing substance or would like more information about potential hazards in your workplace, contact the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety or the Canadian Cancer Society's Cancer Information Service at 1-888-939-3333.
Workers should do the following to help reduce their risk from occupational exposures:
Occupational research studies have given employers the knowledge to take actions aimed at reducing or preventing exposures to carcinogens in the workplace. Overall, the risk of exposure in the workplace today is much less than in the past because occupational health and safety practices have greatly reduced or eliminated exposure to cancer-causing materials.
Canadian workers can be exposed to numerous substances or situations that have been shown to cause cancer or are suspected of causing cancer. Although studies have shown that some exposures increase a person's risk of developing certain cancers, it may not be possible to conclusively link the cancer to a particular exposure.
The Occupational Cancer Research Centre (OCRC) in Canada was established to increase information on the causes and prevention of occupation-related cancers. For more information, visit the OCRC website.
The following pages have information on some specific exposures and how to protect yourself:

Very Good Overall – Professors are generally very good and they all have mandatory office hours every week that they encourage students to come to for help. Workload varies by class but if it's heavy, usually there's a reason for that and students learn alot by the end of the semester. Enrollment is online and easy to do. There are 400 person lecture halls and 20 person seminars and every size in between so students are able to experiment with the class size that works for them. The main study ares are the Cathedral and the Hillman Library.
Rain and Wind – People warned me about Pittsburgh winters but it's only snowed three times in the two years I've been there. It rains alot and on windy days it's super windy. The weather also changes quickly. In one day it can be sunny, rainy, thundering and hailing, and then sunny gain in a matter of hours. Everyone jokes about how they always have to be prepared for anything. But when it's nice, everyone is outside.
On campus parking for students who live in the dorms can be pretty expensive and the parking garages aren't that close to campus. If you live off campus it can be hard to find a spot on the street and most houses don't have driveways. However, since Pitt is a city school almost everything is within walking distance. The university has a good shuttle system from campus to the off campus areas where students live. And Pitt students can ride city buses for free so it's easy (and cheaper) to go places without a car.
Many Resources Available – I'm a Psychology and Sociology double major. The Psych department is very well organized and has many resouces for internships, research positions, and teaching assistant positions. Almost every professor has some unique experience and connections in their field. The problem many students have is that they don't take advantage of everything that's available.
Greek Life:
There is a Greek presence on campus, but you don't have to be in a frat or sorority to have friends or something to do on weekends. Frats have some on campus houses and off campus houses which both have parties but they're usually open to everyone. Sports teams and clubs have just as much of a presence at Pitt and many people are involved with those instead. There isn't a status symbol associated with being involved in Greek life and many people in frats or sororities have friends who aren't a part of Greek life.
Local Area:
Lively, but Possibly Intimidating – Although police always keep a close watch, there is still the ever present uneasiness of being in the city. Some students fear the speed of vehicles and large buses. Others fear the sirens and helicopters approaching the several hospitals.
Campus Food:
Diversity at Its Best – There is a wide range to eat at Pitt. Several retail businesses offer stops on campus and the cafeterias food is superior than other schools
We're in a city, so parking is a huge pain, and violations will cost a hefty price. You're better off taking the bus than trying to drive to and from campus.
Needs Some Work – The Anthropology department is great and tightly knit, but it's a relatively new department, and suffers a little because of it. All of the professors focus on a single area of the world (Latin America) and there's an obvious preference for social anthropology in the Latin countries at the expense of archaeology and especially physical anthropology. Even so, the professors are all great and extremely personable and this is one of the few programs that offers Medical anthropology. It needs some time to grow, but it's a good start.
Off-Campus Housing:
Overall Worth Going Off-Campus – There are many of housing options. You just need to make sure that you start looking in November in order to find the best deals, cleanest places, and close to campus locations. The school doesn't really help that much. The Pitt News does post some housing ads but they're usually super competitive to get since everyone sees them.
Overall Experience:
I owe my awesome experience to Honors Housing. If you are debating on whether to live or not, please do it! I have met so many amazing people with really interesting viewpoints. I met my best friends through this experience. Also, the History Department is nothing short of fantastic. I have never heard a negative review of any of the Professors. The reason I gave Pitt an A- though is because of the amount of Financial Aid given. They could do a lot more to help students afford college, but they don't, even when you ask for help.
Not That Diverse – As a student from a very diverse area of New Jersey, when I got on campus, I kept thinking to myself, why is there so many white people? I'm fairly certain that after two years on this campus that I still haven't met a Hispanic student.There is a lot of political diversity though and people are very accepting of the LGBT community.
Campus Food:
Better Than Average – It's better than average for campus dining but after your first semester, you'll definitely miss home-cooked meals.
Campus Quality:
Always Helpful – I don't think a month has gone by at school where I haven't heard about some kind of career or activity fair going on at school. Pitt constantly has career fairs, (at least one if not more each semester) to allow students to network, get jobs, or just get their resumes reviewed by real company employers. They allow you to register ahead of time, find which companies would best suit your interests, even give you tips on how to dress and interview. They also have an activity fair each semester to allow students to explore and join all the clubs, activities, sports, and hobbies our school offers.
Get Anywhere – As a Pitt student, we get free access to the any of the city buses with our Pitt ID, which can take you anywhere in the city limits. With the same ID we get free access to the Mt Washington incline ( a popular sightseeing spot) and the subway train downtown. We also have free campus buses that take you to any corner of Oakland day or night. In addition, our safety department provides us with Safe Rider, which we can call day or night, picks us up from anywhere, takes us anywhere, and is always free. We are even allowed a limited number of guests. Pitt is also bike and car friendly, although the campus is small enough that walking is sometimes just the best option.
Campus Quality:
Everything I Could Ask for. Anything is possible on Pitt's Main campus. Places to enjoy nature, study, hangout, relax, workout, whatever, are abundant here. Although the buildings are noted for their historical value to the city, the facilities, rooms, and equipment is always up to date, clean, and sometimes even brand new. Plus, even though you're in the middle of the city, this campus is extremely safe. Most buildings on campus require a Pitt ID.The combination of city life and homey comfort is perfectly balanced here at Pitt.
Football Season Is the Best – Season football tickets are available for $25 but it seems t be the only sport students go to compared to gymnastics and tennis.
There is a 24 hour computer lab near the Towers, a computer lab in the library, and email kiosks in main buidings. The only downside is that there is no wifi in your dorm room.
Local Area:
City Life – Pitt is located near a lot of restauraunts, a park, and it is easy to get anywhere.
As a Division I school, Pitt has a great sports environment for both serious athletes and college sports fans. When I was there, we did really well in both Football and Men's Basketball, and our other sports did quite well also. Pitt fans are great also, with packed houses for games. And finally, even PE classes, club sports, and intramural teams were good!
Drug Safety:
Drinking: Yes Hard Drugs: No – Pitt is a huge school, with Division I sports, and pretty big Greek life. So, naturally, the party scene is omnipresent. The big thing is drinking though. I had a pretty diverse group of friends, and I did hear about hard drugs on occasion, but the majority of people drank and smoked casually.
Campus Housing:
Depends on Which Dorm You're in – I've been in quite a few different dorms and so have most of my friends. I was in Holland Hall freshman year and I loved it. Only downside was that it wasn't air conditioned. Sophomore year, I was in one of Tower C's singles and I hated it. It was too small for me. Junior year I was in Bouquet Gardens and that was probably the best dorm I've ever lived in. Honestly it all depends on where you live. A lot of my friends lived in Lothrop Hall and loved it; both Lothrop and Tower C are singles but the rooms in Lothrop are a tad bigger and more square. I've never been into Sutherland, Forbes, or Ruskin so I can't really say anything about them. McCormick Hall also seemed pretty decent. Towers A and B are nice, but there's only 3 elevators and sometimes one is down which is pretty bad since it may be the elevator that goes to your floor (not all the elevators go to the same floor). That means you need to wait for another elevator and then take a flight of stairs up or down to your floor.One problem is that everything is based on lottery numbers. If you don't have a good lottery number, chances are that you'll be in a single somewhere. Bouquet Gardens go fast, as does Ruskin. I've known people who have gotten single dorms all next to each other (or on the same floor) instead of getting into Bouquet Gardens or Ruskin. I've had a pretty good experience with the dorms on campus and can't really complain about them (except Tower C- I didn't really like that one.)
Party Scene:
Not Very Interesting – I would not recommending partying out too much because there are not too many places to party at to begin with.
It is not easy to continie your unddergrad education as a biology major because the level of difficulty substantially increases so one has to be prepared because it starts out easy and then gets really tough.
I Regret Chemistry – I regret taking Chemistry classes because I did horrible in all of them and had to take them over again so that was a major problem for me.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, students agree that they wouldn't trade their Pitt experience for anything. As with most decisions, there are a lot of things to consider. If you don't like living in a city environment, Pittsburgh may not be the place for you. While it doesn't have the feel of New York of Philadelphia, the area is definitely urban. Also, Pitt is a large school—you're in for some big lecture classes and a somewhat overwhelming campus during the first year or so. Everything will seem to get smaller after you've been around awhile, though. Weather can be a concern if you're used to a warmer climate—snow, rain, and wind rule Pittsburgh winters. This is something that you can easily get used to though, unless you're a diehard warm weather fan.
What Pitt does offer is high-caliber academics, plenty of student organizations, and countless opportunities, such as study abroad, cultural activities, and sports. If you're willing to become active on campus, there's a lot more to Pitt than meets the eye. The University's location can also be a great advantage—Pittsburgh itself is a great city that is a positive environment for students to live and learn in, thanks in part to the city being home to a number of colleges and universities. The social scene is always jumping, locals are friendly, and there's always something to do if you explore a little. The best idea is to visit and try to get a feel for the area. You can get the same quality education at Pitt that can be found in many smaller, expensive schools, but here you'll pay less to have a vibrant city right at your doorstep.

NFC Times Exclusive insight – Yandex.Money, sometimes called the "Russian PayPal," is using host card emulation for its new NFC-enabled payments service, a Yandex.Money representative told NFC Times. PayPal earlier told NFC Times it also plans to use HCE for its app in the U.S.
NFC Times Exclusive – BARCELONA: PayPal will use host card emulation and the contactless acceptance network of Discover Financial Services to support NFC in the U.S. from the planned new version of its mobile app, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – PayPal is trialing NFC mobile payments, CEO-designee Dan Schulman said during eBay's first quarter earnings call, but the company continues to be cautious about embracing NFC.
U.S.-based retailer Toys "R" Us, one of the few large national merchants to fully support the Isis Wallet so far, has released a figure on Isis transactions for the three months following Isis' nationwide launch in November.
BARCELONA, Spain – Samsung Electronics today unveiled its fifth-generation Galaxy S flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, which will support NFC, as expected, and also feature a fingerprint sensor in the home button that can secure mobile payments. PayPal has announced it will be the first payments company to support the fingerprint authentication feature on the device.
Google's vice president of wallet and payments has left the company, following a difficult tenure for the former PayPal executive, who had tried to establish the Google Wallet for physical world payments and offers.
PayPal has an advantage over another big Internet player, Google, in rolling out payments at the physical point of sale because it already has tens of millions of payments customers on file with billions in their accounts "ready to spend," contends Don Kingsborough, PayPal's vice president for retail and prepaid products.
Turkish mobile operator Turkcell, one of the first telcos to commercially launch NFC, is introducing a new mobile wallet that includes a PayPal-like service enabling consumers to pay for purchases by entering their phone numbers on point-of-sale terminals.
Google's new cloud-based wallet will not hurt demand for trusted service management services, contends Gemalto CEO Olivier Piou, who also said he sees little threat to NFC rollouts from such cloud-based mobile-payment services as those planned by Square and PayPal.
Point-of-sale terminal supplier VeriFone is the second major POS terminal vendor to announce a deal to support PayPal's in-store payment system in its devices.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Telco joint ventures on opposite sides of the globe announced within hours of each other plans to pull the plug on their respective NFC wallets, marking another big hit for the future of SIM-based NFC.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Google has launched Android Pay in its fourth country, Australia, with one of the country's big four banks, ANZ, but the launch was beset by delays that have kept another of the big four, Westpac, on the sidelines for now.
NFC Times Exclusive – Apple's expansion into Switzerland late last week with its Apple Pay service followed a familiar pattern, as in many of the other new markets the tech giant has expanded its payments service in: support first comes from relatively small issuers while major banks hold out.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – With the launch of Apple Pay imminent in France, telcos there are continuing to push SIM-based NFC technology, hiring a trusted service manager for their new NFC SIM "hub"–although No. 1 telco Orange will also support Apple Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive – Alliance Digital Technology Co., the joint venture of five Taiwanese mobile operators and transit fare-collection operator EasyCard Corp., is steering away from the TSM business, which was the reason it formed three years ago, NFC Times has learned. It will add a focus on providing mobile ID and authentication, the JV told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – French banks and their bank-owned domestic payments network STET plan to launch mobile payments in the first quarter of next year with a "large smartphone vendor" using the domestic payment network's own token service provider, STET told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – SHANGHAI, China: While Apple has signed up more banks and is believed to have more cards registered in China for its Apple Pay service–around 10 million, according to a source–Samsung is seeking to outflank its rival with more acceptance points and more applications for Samsung Pay, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Microsoft, which has written off more than $8 billion from its failed Nokia acquisition and which is expected to fully pull the plug on its consumer smartphone hardware business, nonetheless believes a viable wallet app is a must-have to keep its Windows 10 operating system for phones viable–although its announcement this week of Microsoft Wallet is surrounded by unknowns, including exactly when the service will generally launch.
NFC Times Exclusive – Three years ago, in June of 2013, MasterCard announced it would "deploy a target" of 410,000 MasterCard PayPass-enabled point-of-sale terminals, to be rolled out "throughout Japan over the next three years."
NFC Times Exclusive Insight - Samsung launched Samsung Pay in its fifth country, Australia, on Wednesday, but like Apple, Samsung has had to make do without the country's largest card issuers to begin with.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple, as expected, will bring its payments service to e-commerce purchases and to three new markets–France, Switzerland and Hong Kong–the tech giant announced during its Worldwide Developers Conference Monday.
UPDATED: NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Following the launch of Samsung Pay in South Korea, the U.S., and China, Samsung's launches of its mobile payments service in two new markets, Spain and Australia, both contactless and EMV payments hot spots, will not support the device maker's proprietary Magnetic Secure Transmission technology, which is designed to make nearly all mag-stripe POS terminals potential acceptance points, NFC Times has learned. But in Singapore, Samsung Pay is expected to support MST technology.

I recently stayed at the Rimrock for 6 days with my adult daughter. The best of the hotel includes the Larkspur restaurant overlooking the mountains and valley. Beautiful view whether you're inside or on the balcony. Food prices at the Larkspur were very reasonable for Banff and the food was absolutely delicious! Since it is up the mountain, it was much quieter than other hotels in the middle of town. A short ride down the mountain and you're in the midst of Banff. We saw a huge elk at the bottom of the road our last night there. Downside - must pay for parking which seemed out of place since there was a large parking garage and no other alternatives. The concierges were extremely helpful with suggesting hikes. The entire staff - in the Larkspur, concierges, door men - all very friendly and upbeat. I definitely recommend this hotel as a splurge in an absolutely beautiful setting.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

If the publishing world is changing it is because of the many ways authors are choosing to find and expand their audiences through self-publishing. One of the newest ways to find an audience is by being an ebook-only author.
Reading used to be something we did in solitude, but thanks to the Internet, things have changed dramatically. Now, reading has become something people from all around the world can partake in together, meeting on social media sites to talk about their favorite books.
As technology advances, it's making it easier and easier to keep up with some of our favorite hobbies, such as reading. Even though books have become more accessible -- after all, you don't have to carry a paperback book around anymore -- Americans are not making time for reading.
If you're an editor like myself, you have a lot of manuscripts to read. If you're a bookseller, you've got to stay on top of what's being published. This summer it seems like most of the editors and booksellers I know are reading A Little Life, Hanya Yanagihara's second novel.
Next to the long and storied history of the print book, the eBook is still in early infancy, and that is what makes it so fascinating to study. In the coming years, the content and context of eReading are certain to evolve greatly.
Still shopping for the holidays? Don't panic, there's still time. We know sometimes it takes a while to find that perfect gift for the woman who has everything. Whether you know her as mom, spouse, daughter or just a friend, here are six great tech gifts ideas for the woman in your life.
For better and worse, we live in a culture of coding. Now that virtually everyone is a consumer of digital content, there are unprecedented commercial and social opportunities for content creators. Now is the time to encourage kids, and adults, to code.
Adding features like bookshelves, reading lights and comfortable cushions means that a window nook can be used all year long.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not a book lover because you have an eReader. Obviously you're a book lover, you own a device specifically for reading books!
This weekend we will celebrate our fathers and the important men in our lives. In their honor I've come up with my list of top ten great reads about great father figures in literature.
Nearly any book you can think of can be read as an electronic book (e-book) today. Granted, reading an electronic book on a computer never really took off as a trend, but the advent of electronic readers (e-readers) started the turnaround.
Students of reasoning styles can boost their success at convincing others of the wisdom of a new idea by identifying and adapting to the logic filters of decision makers. Sizing up a situation realistically lets us know what to expect when we're pitching a new idea, and how to make the most of it.

Super easy to install and adjust length. I had experience installing other blinds before hanging these and I found the installation and length adjustment to be very simple. It took me maybe half an hour to install and shorten two sets. We have had them for a few months now and they are easy to clean - which is important to note because they show a lot of dust. There are a lot of chords on the 72" set, so I would NOT recommend these for a nursery or kids room. Good light control, our bedroom stays nice and dark in the morning even though we have SE exposure.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? I ordered these blinds in "pecan" and the actual product matches up more closely to the "mahogany" color on my computer, but nevertheless they are a nice medium/dark true brown color (no red or yellow tones).
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Decent quality. I think they look nicer than they actually are. Haven't had any problems with the quality, but they are in the master bedroom where they don't get abused by kids and dogs.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate.
I had a problem with the color they deliver the wrong color 2 time I had to cancel my order
I love these, the beauty of the wood is amazing. Easy to cut to size. You can't go wrong with these blinds..
Quality is ok. Metal is flimsy but gets the job done. Arrived bent from shipping but able to straighten as it was thin metal I recommend checking for damage before delivery guy runs off
very beautiful blind. window was 34 inches wide on the interior frame where it was hung and it fits perfectly in the space. VERY easy to hang and shorten. I also bought some of the faux wood blinds for another room and it's hard to tell the difference between the wood and faux wood. The decorative valance is several inches longer than the window opening and scalloped on each end so cutting them to fit may be a bit of a challenge
Bought two sets; one for our dining room and one for the family room and they turned out amazing! 1/2 the price of the local big box store and the quality is fantastic. Easy to open and close. Pretty easy set-up. The included valence give it a finished look. Will definitely buy again for other rooms!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was perfect!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great quality. Very sturdy.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate.
Wish that the sizing was something like 71 1/2 x 72 to accomodate an inside mount. However my husband was able to chip away some of the dry wall and have these up in less than an hour. Great buy.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Excellent

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly what I was looking for! Color is amazing too!
Husband is really picky, so I was nervous ordering online without actually seeing the product. Received the blinds quickly and hubby installed without any problems. He loves the blinds. He works nights & sleeps during the day. They block out most of the light so that he can sleep. They not only look beautiful, they are quality construction.
