Regardless of if you're planning a dream vacation of multiple weeks or a spontaneous weekend road trip, nailing the tiniest of details matters in determining your travel experience good or bad. The following article is full of tips that can make any trip more enjoyable.
To keep traveling expense within budget, try making them as far ahead as you can. Although there are many things you can purchase on your trip, it is important to know that most of the things will much pricier now rather than if you had bought them much earlier. Minimizing your travel expenses will give you more to spend while you're actually on the trip.
When traveling to a country that requires certain vaccinations, be sure and carry the paperwork indicating you've had them with you. This is important anytime you try to enter a country or when it is time to leave, as well as traveling between some cities in the country. You may be quarantined if you cannot produce the certificates as proof.
When flying on a plane, you should plan ahead because an airline won't always be able to meet your basic needs, even when the flight lasts for many hours. Bringing a blanket, pillow and headphones with you is a good idea. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring something to snack on.
Research before booking. Visit online review sites and see what others are saying about potential travel destinations. Chat with those who have previously visited the destination. You can have realistic expectations when you do your homework, which makes your time at that destination all the better.
Share your travel itinerary with a family member or a trusted friend. That way, a family member will know where you're supposed to be at all times. Also, stay in touch with that person for safety's sake. If they know where you are and hear from you on a regular basis, there will be no need for concern.
While you should use a traditional luggage tag, you should also put your info somewhere inside the luggage. Make sure that this is on the inside as anyone can tear off tags on the outside. You should have ID and contact information inside your bag so it can be returned to you if lost.
Try joining some forums and social networks that are focused on travel. Getting information and sharing experiences with fellow travelers is a great way to prepare yourself for a trip. This will help you gain new friends and prevent you from repeating the mistakes made by others or overlooking an unknown gem during your vacation.
If you understand local currency value before you make the trip, then you'll be able to budget your funds much easier. If you know how far a dollar goes, you get a good idea of how much you can spend at your destination, which will help you save money. This will help reduce the risk of over-spending, while still ensuring you budget enough money to have a good time.
If you have hotels booked on your trip, consider bringing a few travel candles. Candles can make a room smell better. Also, it creates a romantic and relaxing atmosphere and could get you to fall asleep. These candles are dripless and are available in travel sizes.
Plan service stops ahead of time when traveling by car. You never know when you are going to hit a long, isolated stretch of highway. Make sure you take a good close look when planning your trip and locate places when you realize that you might run into one of those types of stretches. Make sure all important service stations numbers are kept handy.
Road trips may get boring, which is why you should plan to do some activities during your traveling. Anticipating some fun activities during the trip breaks up the trip's monotony with much more than the usual meal and bathroom breaks. Give your kids an itinerary of your route so they can focus on that destination en route to the main location.
You may get angry if travel plans fall through. Flights can be cancelled, or your rental car might not be ready. If these things occur, you and the agent must come to a mutually acceptable resolution of the problem. One of you two might lose your cool quickly. Stay both polite and calm. You will have greater success by remaining calm.
Planning is crucial for anyone going a trip, regardless of where their final destination is. You can use the helpful advice and pointers in this article to make your travels enjoyable and hassle free.

Four Tet doing an all-nighter at Brixton Academy for a fiver
Wanna go to this.
Why is it so cheap?
still good value though... I've seen them both DJ before and it was ace.
He says:
I saw Fugazi at Brixton in the 90's... £5 ticket, no light show, no bullshit... one of the best things I've ever seen.
this is kind of inspired by that I guess
the full lineup to be announced soon is mind blowing
Why do under 25s have separate tickets
But that cost the same amount?plasticniki this'd this
Thanks for the heads up
i hate seetickets. so so much.
Me too, fuckers. I am going to complain the shit out of them too.
What address did you use? I could only find one which bounced back.
Go to the See website, click customer service
enter your details, then it will give you a chance to send a query.
If you click refunds it just gives you a message saying "jokes on you NO REFUNDZ" so just send it as a general query.
Nice one man thanks!
Fucking hell I thought it'd take ages. That's a shame.LordLuciusBanter this'd this
pretty sure its just the pre-sale thats sold out
more to come i'm sure!
this site:
suggests that tickets are on sale tomorrow - midday
Full lineup, according to FTet's twitter:
Ben UFO, Floating Points, Four Tet b2b Caribou, James Holden, Pangaea, Pearson Sound: Brixton Academy 2nd Nov 10-6am £5
So good
Might just buy a few tickets tomorrow to make sure I have someone to go with, be mad not to at that price (even if it is basically the same lineup I'm seeing off-Sonar in a few weeks!)
going to try and get as many people down to this as possible :D
For anyone on the fence
Ben UFO, Floating Points, Pangaea and Pearson Sound are worth it alone. I don't really rate Four Tet, Caribou or James Holden but Four Tet is a good DJ.
- SCROTUM this'd this
And looks like it sold out now.
this might work?
I'm trying for a couple now.
See seems to have tickets still
ARGGGHHHHHH cancellation insurance shocker
first time I'm fallen for it, damn you See.
oh, fucking hell
Got a couple
£1.50 to 'collect' my tickets at the box office? Sure, why not.
Hope those that wanted got them,
seemed to go fast.
Already bloody excited about this
Such a line up.
£5 for that line-up
absolutely outstanding
Can't get down for this now unfortunately.
Have 4 tickets going for face value plus postage. Would have to post them tomorrow or Wednesday ideally.
If anyone's interested, send me a message.
Cheers guys, and the folk on pm
brak has first refusal, shall PM the others if that falls through.
Yeah, I'm looking for a ticket.
PM if you have one spare. Cheers!
I have (at least) two spares for this
Willing to sell at face value and post tomorrow, PM me. Potential for 1 or 2 more spares too, waiting for things to crystallise.
any spares?
I have two tickets
Selling at face value, think it was about £14 including postage. I'll pay the postage. Off out now but will check back later
looking for one
so a friend can join us tomorrow, can anyone help us out?
Very late on this...
But if anyone's got a ticket going they need to sell, please send me a PM as it would be much appreciated.
Did everyone enjoy?
Really liked the Ben UFO / Pearson etc even though there wasn't many people there. Floating Points started off well but then lost the crowd in the second. Four Tet and Caribou were brilliant. Holden ace.
Not convinced by the academy as a club, sound was only good if you stood in certain places but for a fiver I had a great night.
We got in about halfway through Floating Points
Wasn't for me at all, and kinda brought my buzz down a bit.
However, Four Tet and Caribou were awesome and got a going off.
Holden was a mixed bag for me, some great stuff, some left me a bit meh.
Made it to 6am lights up, purely on coffee. Chuffed with myself
Who was on after straight Four Tet/Caribou?
I wanted to stay but the others with me weren't enjoying it.
I didn't "get" Floating Points either. I guess it just wasn't the kind of thing was expecting
Holden was after FT/Caribou
took a while to get going but when it did I loved it.
had an awesome night
live down the road so had a nice gathering at mine till 1130 then headed down for hours of dancing
by 5 i was running out of steam, left at 530 and tucked up in bed shortly after
need more club nights like that at the academy
Really enjoyed it
Although I would've swapped the Hessle lot with Floating Points, as the atmosphere seemed to drop down after their set (which I annoyingly only caught an hour of). Wasn't that convinced by James Holden's set but we were all knackered by 5 anyway so left at 5.30 and go the first tube.
Amazing value for the money though, and I quite enjoyed the Academy as a venue for a one-off, just like a big party. Even the dealers were dancing.
I did really enjoy it, but got there too late
Arrived about 1145. Queued 20 minutes to get in. Then 20 minutes in the cloakroom queue. Then another wait to get to the bar. Missed everyone before Floating Points. My own fault, I know, but frustrating.
Was it busy?
Twitter seemed to be full of people giving away tickets for it?
I would have liked to have attended and all...
There was only an hour or so
where it felt rammed, lot of people left around 3. I ended up with loads of spares but sold them all easily, seemed to be in demand.
i was mid front
and it felt rammed all night until i stepped out for a piss at 5 and realised half the crowd had left!
yeah was busy
i think lots of people just bought several tickets at once for friends as they were only a fiver and they sold out so quick, thats what we all did so we had a couple spare in the end we sold on
About 3 of my mates didn't turn up, despite other friends desperately wanting tickets
And then two more got their tickets torn up for bumping ket in the queue because they're fucking morons. I'm still really angry about that actually, at least the 8 of us that actually went had a great time.
Yeah, was good fun
I actually think putting Pearson Sound/Ben UFO/Pangea b2b was a little bit of a waste of good DJs - even though I like Floating Points somewhat, he's always a bit divisive... When Pearson Sound wants to he can knock out massive crowd pleasing sets. Should have spread those guys out and had some shorter sets for everyone apart from Four Tet v Caribou IMO.
The headline set was quality & got the crowd going, but there was a more noticeable drop in numbers when it was finished than you're average night. Made it til 5.30, but was running on empty by then, so my enjoyment of Holden took a nose dive, and it was time to stumble towards the exit.
As for the sound, it was decent if you stood near the front and near the speakers, but it was never going to be *amazing* at Brixton for a fiver. Overall, a ruddy good fun times to money flow ratio.
agree with all of this really
Pearson Sound/Ben UFO/Pangea b2b were great and it did dip somewhat during FP. Holden was great despite messing up a few speed change overs here and there.
We were towards the back where the ceiling is low for Four Tet/Caribou, was really bassy and felt more like a proper club than nearer the front/middle.
Had a superb night overall, shame loads of people left before/during Holden as it was a really good set but maybe he was a bit heavy going for some people idk.
really good fun.
I lasted until 5 before my batteries ran out.
Couldn't believe the number of people openly walking about smoking. I must've seen eight people get kicked out.
Four Tet is on Radio 2 right now playing & being interviewed about jazz by Jamie Cullum
if anyone's interested in that. Sure it will be on iplayer too.
Interesting insight...
he was talking about how the harp sound in Brandy & Monica's The Boy is Mine (which he dropped at Brixton) influenced his use of harps in his music.
Now on iPlayer
With a terrifying photo of Mr Hebden to boot
- badmanreturns and roastthemonaspit this'd this
I found it pretty disappointing to be honest
Caribou & Four Tet were reliably great, but pretty much everything that was on before them (apart from a 10 minute respite when some decent dubby stuff got played) was really uninspiring, soul-sapping dross.
Just remembered my favourite part of the night
Floating Points play Way Mi Defend by Kahn. Never saw that one coming.littlebirds this'd this

DALLAS — Standing in the middle of an L-shaped, mirror-lined room at the end of a hallway at LaCreole Middle School, it's hard to imagine what Principal Jamie Richardson has in mind.
The school's former weight room is empty and ready for a major remodel, some of which will be completed by the school's teachers. By September, that room will become the Innovations Lab.
The vision Richardson and his staff have for it becomes clearer once he describes what has been happening in the school over the past two years.
Students are elbow-to-elbow in the school's makerspaces, he said.
Makerspaces provide students a variety of materials to invent, build and test inventions, often in response to a "design challenge." One such challenge last year was building a functional bottle opener that meets design standards. Teachers and staff built makerspaces in a corner of the library, a couple of large closets, a science classroom and a portable makerspace that students can set up anywhere.
"I've watched over the last couple of years. Our kids kind of trip over each other in these makeshift labs," Richardson said.
The green screen room — for making videos — is so busy, the school built portable screens, and even those aren't enough, Richardson said. Students resort to taping up green paper to make due.
The science classroom is larger, but it's still designed best for science labs.
"It's just not working because it's not built for that," Richardson said.
He believed the school could do better without much expense by converting its old weight room it into a large makerspace.
"The kids can have the space and the tools to do the kind of innovative things that we want them to do," he said. "I'm hoping down the road, we can get our community in."
Richardson wants to invite parents and other community members to use the lab, so adults can see what the younger generation is up to.
"I don't think even some of our parents know what we do on a daily basis. We have our exhibition nights and our open houses, and we try to have things on hand that our kids have created or that they are working on," Richardson said. "But wouldn't be cool if we could have parent makerspace night?"
Innovations Lab will have mobile work stations, a 3-D printer, a laser cutter, sanders, saws and other tools and materials for building.
Along with the lab, LaCreole is adding a business and design class that could make use of the space. The point of the class is to teach students about all phases of running a business, from idea to development to marketing.
Whether students use the lab to complete a class project or through stem (science, technology, engineering and math) after school clubs, Richardson and LaCreole teachers want to provide them with chances to have fun — and develop skills.
"We are looking at those things that are really good for kids," he said. "I can't wait to see what they come up with."

I had a form designed by a CSS programmer. He used one of the radio button widgets.
They have now disappeared? (well they kind of 'half load' then disappear completely)
Your first though must be that there is a problem with my individual form, but that form has be duplicated 6 times on my account and is on different landing pages of my site. It has disappeared on all forms all at the same time. My guess is the associated widget??
By the way I never mess with the code, as I know nothing about CSS
If you could look into this asap it would be much appreciated.
Best regards
P.s I'm not sure of the particular widget, but I think it was called line widget.
Attached: 1 of the horizontal stile forms just to give you an example of the buttons (on the left)Page URL:

Hi Ben,
We have updated some of our widgets and I'm not sure if that is causing the problem. But refreshing the widget will fix it:
You will have to do this in the form builder, so you need to edit the form.
Lastly, it's the Line Checkbox widget.
Let us know if you need any further assistance about this matter.
- goquoteAnswered on March 11, 2015 at 01:15 PM
Sounds good!!
I cant seem to see the refresh button on my editor? Is there another way to refresh?
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on March 11, 2015 at 01:48 PM
Unfortunately, I just found out that there are options that have been removed in the widget that might cause this to happen. Here are the widget options after refreshing it:
And looks like the Refresh button is only available for the support team for now.
I've cloned your form and fix it, here's the new look: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/50695158440963. Clone this back and use replace the form that is currently on your website.
I have also submitted this thread to our developers so they can take a look further.
- JotForm SupportwidgetsAnswered on March 12, 2015 at 02:28 AM
Hi, refresh button is not yet available to normal users, however we will enable this soon. For now all you have to do is to reintegrate the widget to your form and that will resolve the problem you were having.

- goquoteAnswered on March 12, 2015 at 02:45 AM
Hi I appreciate the help.
As I run an online business based on filling out the form it has literally stopped my business in it's tracks.
Is re-intergration of the widget an easy process like the refresh button?
Is it possible you you to go into my form and just hit the refresh them? there are 5 forms highlighted with a star. If you could refresh those one it would really help.
Let me know
Best regards
- goquoteAnswered on March 12, 2015 at 06:12 AM
Hi There,
If you would be so kind as to refresh the widget from your end it wold be much appreciated as it seems like the best solution.
Please let me know.

thanks for your help

Yes, since the widget has changed Ben, you might need to have someone - or try yourself - work on CSS code.

California's economy sent out mixed signals in July: The unemployment rate inched up, but employers still added 38,100 jobs, one of the biggest gains for the state since the recession officially ended in February 2010.
The jobless rate ticked up to 8.7% from 8.5% in June, according to data released Friday by the state Employment Development Department.
The net gain in jobs, especially in higher-paying industries such as professional and business services, was a positive sign for a state that has steadily added more jobs over the year and outpaced the nation in growth.
Less important is the jobless rate, economists said, because that is derived from a highly variable survey that fluctuates month to month. Of greater potential concern are the 36,000 people who dropped out of the state's labor force last month, a signal that job seekers were discouraged and gave up looking for work.


text:
I was a West-Coast Carrie Bradshaw … sans Mr. Big.
You wouldn't expect it from my childhood: I'd grown up poor in Iowa, and I watched my mother struggle to work full-time and raise six kids on her own, while wishing that Prince Charming would come. (He never did.)
She made ends meet using Sunday newspaper coupons, public assistance and homemade mac-and-state-issued-cheese.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and there I was, living in California and working an executive-level communications and PR job at Nickelodeon, where I'd been for nearly 15 years. I had the financial security that came with my position, including a sizable company pension, a 401(k) plan and a small money market account. I carried my mortgage on a condo as confidently as I carried my Balenciaga bag.
I was a single woman in her late 30s, and on the whole, things were good.
As a senior director of corporate communications, I spent the bulk of my time in the office–and the rest running from studios to offices to sets. But my passion for the job was waning. I wasn't miserable, per se, but I wasn't feeling it anymore. And I was watching the company conduct rounds of layoffs during the recession.
I'd always vowed that money wouldn't dictate my happiness, but I was used to stability. Changing career paths would likely mean a pay cut. Without a partner or family to support me–not to mention my mortgage, credit card debt and bills–I was afraid to abandon my executive life. Kind of like how people are afraid to abandon a relationship even when it's no longer working.
The easy thing would have been to set my sights on a similar job in the same field, but I wanted to try something new.
Plotting My Great Escape
While still working my corporate job, I started taking classes at a local college to see where my interests lay–and if I could be a student again after being out of school for 15 years. I always loved psychology, so two semesters later, I plunged head-first into a graduate program in clinical psychology at night, while working full-time.
The days were long, and I was tired, but I felt alive again!
At work, layoffs were still happening, and I knew that I could be next. I decided if that happened, I'd commit myself to school full-time. I was actually excited at the possibility! Although my emergency fund would cover me for a few months, I hoped that I'd get a severance package to help with my transition into student-hood.
When I entered my boss's office one summer morning in 2010, I was surprised with the very walking papers that I'd been expecting. Only, instead of celebrating, I panicked! You know that feeling when you're going to break up with someone, but they beat you to it? It was like that–I was prepared, but scared nonetheless.
There I was, free from corporate shackles, but not free from my living expenses, graduate school tuition, credit card debt and a home mortgage. Most of my money was in long-term investments and untouchable without paying severe penalties. At least I had gotten the severance package I hoped for–a safety net to recreate my life.
RELATED: 5 Surprising Things You Should Negotiate
So I leapt into survival mode, becoming a full-time graduate student at 37 years old.
With the assistance of loans, I tackled four classes a semester, so I could complete my degree only a few months after my severance ended. Simultaneously, I pursued PR consulting opportunities to supplement my severance pay and nominal unemployment income. I cut back on luxuries–eating out, manicures and pedicures–and conserved gas whenever possible.
Was I Turning Into My Mother?
I'd like to think of myself as an empowered woman, but when I lost my job, my early childhood experiences with poverty triggered a momentary damsel-in-distress moment. I found myself secretly wishing for my own Prince Charming to rescue me.
My stomach churned at the notion that I believed in the same fairytale as my mother once did, but I couldn't help it.
Meanwhile, some family members advised me to abandon California for a safer, more affordable life in the Midwest with them. I wasn't opposed to moving to another city if the right opportunity presented itself, but my gut said to stay in California. If I were to move, I wanted it to be for a reason–not to run away.
RELATED: Why I'm Moving to Pursue the American Dream
As far as I was concerned, I had no other choice.
Closing One Door Opens Another (or Two)
A decade earlier, I'd inquired about teaching public relations at the University of Southern California, but the timing hadn't been right. Now, with 15 years of high-profile PR experience, the timing was right. So I began teaching at USC and Pepperdine, while I was still in grad school.
Two months before I received my degree, the non-profit agency where I was training as a psychotherapist offered me a job overseeing their new outpatient and residential drug treatment facilities. It's an amazing organisation called Conscious Recovery, which is run by the CLARE Foundation in Santa Monica, California.
The position perfectly married both my careers in strategic communications and psychotherapy. People don't realise how closely related psychology and public relations are–many PR campaigns are rooted in the principles of social psychology.
It's proving to be a fun, enterprising experience–one that corporate America never afforded me. I am now changing the world for the better!
RELATED: Is It Ever Really Ok to Talk About Your Salary?
There was only one thing left for me to achieve: open a private therapy practice of my own.
The Keys to My Very Own Career Castle
While working at the non-profit agency by day, I searched for an office and networked at night. In the psych world, things are a little different than in the business world: "Trainees" are people who do unpaid work during their last year of school, and "interns" are certified therapists who must amass around 3,000 paid hours (that number varies by state) to become autonomous, fully licensed therapists. So the position that I was searching for was technically an internship.
A little under two years after leaving my PR gig, all of my hard work paid off: I was accepted at a practice that will help me earn my hours working with clients. Jennifer Musselman, M.A., MFTI, proudly hangs above the door of my very own office in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
Today, I am an adjunct professor who oversees the development of a rehab facility–while nearing my goal of becoming a fully licensed psychotherapist.
In other words, I'm a world away from my corporate job. Now, more than ever, I trust myself and my capabilities. I've also learned that when the going gets tough, I get tougher.
Tackling this challenge at nearly 40 years old was both the most frightening thing I'd ever faced and the most empowering because I did it all on my own! The leap of faith to invest in both my financial future and my personal happiness has made me a stronger, more fulfilled person.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'iPod' started by spikeyjac, Sep 30, 2007.
One con is that if you ever need warranty service and they replace it, you'll get a refurb without the engraving. So just don't be too attached to the engraving. I've never gotten any of mine engraved, but my mother did as a present, and was upset when they replaced it when it died with one without the engraving.
Pros: You have an engraved iPod, unique and cherished.
Cons: You have an engraved iPod, tacky and embarrassing. Far harder to sell for a good price later.
I am surprised they did not give you the engarving. I just know Applecare took care of a nano of my friend's and it came back engraved.
Pros: It's always going to be yours and it may be fun for 10 minutes.
Cons: It's like personalized license plates. You run the risk it whatever it says being stupid as **** next year. To resell would jack your selling price down as Blue said. And finally, if you buy a case it'll most likely be one that doesn't let others see the engraving.
Me: I have a 60gb 5th gen not engraved and a 4gb Red Nano 2nd gen engraved. It was engraved with 150 11-11-06. It is a number and date that is significantly important to me. I will most likely never sell the nano, actually, I'll never sell it because it was bought for a reason other than what most would think and it was engraved with that very reason. If that makes sense. I have a clear case, no one has really seen it, I work out with it and such. I wouldn't get my everyday iPod engraved though for the cons listed above.
No Sure Just thinking something along the lines of Jacks Ipod
not sure tho
On the back of my Nano it says
Tim Wheaton (my name)
is Awesome
Since everyone around me is 15 they all think that's pretty cool.
Probably depends on how you get service. I, and she, have always walked into an Apple store, plopped down the iPod, and walked out 5 minutes later with a refurb. Clearly if you send it in via mail and wait however long that takes they have the ability to engrave it again. But I don't think the Apple geniuses will be engraving in the back room any time soon
I never sell my iPods so I don't see any cons. But I do see the pros of having it engraved. On my iPod I have engraved on it "Don't Steal Music, please return this iPod to [phone number]"
When it's engraved, it's so hard to sell. It makes it worth a significant amount less. But if you are going to get it engraved, make it something worthwhile and personal that won't be blown away with future trends.
My favorite engraving that I've seen:
Bomb Installed:
Steal at your own risk!
lmao, post of the day forsure!

Talk With ME is proud to bring to the ArtSees Diner Radio audience Douglas C. Rapier. While Douglas is very well known around the world for his blues music, his rich baritone voice, and his political blogging.
His newest endeavor is his first published novel, Ovoid Illinois, 'Ovoid, Illinois' is set in a microscopically small town in the American Midwest of the late 1960's. The tale tells of the final high school year of Cheryl-Jean Billingham, cheerleader, aspiring journalist and daughter of the ambitious ex-mayor and Duncan Reynard, singer, musician and eldest son of the town barber. Although of different social circles and circumstances, the two are brought together in a bitter-sweet romance by controversy resulting from faculty in-fighting regarding the high school musical. Cheryl-Jean takes it upon herself to fight on behalf of Duncan, who she feels has been slighted. She quickly finds herself embroiled in faculty politics, small town political wrangling and the larger societal picture of the tumultuous 1960's...

Here's my setup:
Simple mvc page with a few controls that includes a validation summary area.
Once the fields are completed there's a download button.
If I enter something invalid, as expected, my controller code updates the UI with the appropriate error. However, if I then correct the error, and then click the download button a file is downloaded, but the UI never gets updated - presumeably since there's no update on the view.
Any ideas on a way around this - perhaps some javascript code. Just wondering what's the best practice here?
I now have recreated my Leave request form in sharepoint designer and just need a few pointers.
Ill explain what i have first.
I have a document libary call time-off request here users can fill out a word template requesting leave they fill out the following fields.
Employee Name, Start Date: Return Date: Type Of Holiday
Once they have saved this back to the libary the workflow starts it marks the status of the request to open it then copys the item into a new list called Time-Off Request Status and then deletes the item in the Time Off Request List finally it emails the
manager of that employee telling them to approve or reject the request in the the Time Off Request status libary.
There is another workflow attached to the Time Off Request status libary where if the manager approves the request it sends an email to that user and updates days remaing in a final list called annual leave remaining.
The problem that i have is any user can go into the Annual Leave remaining list and change the number of days that they have left however i need them to have the contribute permission so the workflow can update the list.
I asked a similar question back when i created this in Sharepoint Services 3.0 and was told something about impersonating work flow steps but i am unsure of how to do this.
Also the workflow does no
Using the rest 4 template. I have a POST method defined, with an object as a parameter. REST 4 does a great job of automatically mapping both xml and json posts to the method. I tested this using an HttpClient test application to build
and post xml content and then json content. All data gets correctly mapped to the corresponding properties in my entity.
I want to also support a standard form post to the method but am having problems!
I'd like the same method already accepting and converting both xml and json to also work correctly for a form post. I figured it would "just work" but no.
I am testing this by creating an HttpUrlEncoded form in the test client, adding form name/value pairs that match what the method is expecting, and trying to post it.
However I get a 400 Bad Request. Here's some example code that is returning a 400 bad request:
Really straightforward but fails. Ideas why?
var client = new HttpClient();
HttpUrlEncodedForm form = new HttpUrlEncodedForm();
form.Add("Id", "99"<
i have created an infopath form. when the user submit this request form to the specific approver a mail will be sent to the specific approver.
now i want that when the approver open this form, the fields that the user had filled must be read only and the approver section must not be read only. the appover must be able to approve the form and submit the same form to the hr.
the approver section has a dataview list where the approver can choose if the request is approved or rejected.
i know i can use a workflow, but if i use a workflow can the workflow send the request to the specific approver of each user?
cause in my form when the user open the form there is a field that is filled with the specific approver of the user. and when the user click on the submit button the form will be send by mail to the specific approver.
I know this has been discussed already but my problem isn't the error itself. My problem is I am including [ValidateInput(false)] above my ActionResult and I still receive this error when I click submit. Is there something somewhere else overriding this command?
Here is what the code looks like.
[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]
Okay, I know that dynamic buttons and buttons in general don't use a typical postback and they post through the page.request.form. Okay, so in visual studio, I was able to determine that page.Request.form and in the all-keys property, i SEE my button there. It is the last item in all-keys.
When I am clicking this dynamic button which is in an updatepanel, the script below does not detect it as a button, it is still showing it as null:
public static Control GetPostBackControl(Page page) { Control control = null; string ctrlname = page.Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET"); if (ctrlname != null && ctrlname != string.Empty) { control = page.FindControl(ctrlname); } else {&nb
Hi all,
Is it possible to get the CssClass and SkinID via Request.Form?
I tried below but failed.
Dim i As Integer
Dim itemName As String
Dim itemValue As String
For i = 0 To HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.Count - 1
itemName = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.AllKeys(i)
'itemValue = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.GetValues(i)(0)
itemValue = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form.Get("CssClass")
i have a form that use can insert some text in textbox
if user insert <..> page return an error like
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
the problem is i need to user inter some html code that's because i change the code in web.config file
<pages validateRequest="false"
I get mails about an unhandled error has occurred:Message: A Potentially Dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ctl00 $ default master content $ txtCustomerMessage ="... ???????? <a href = "http://aovo ...").

string EmpDesignation = root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:ddlEmpDesignation", NamespaceManager).Value;
We have a DOT.NET app that we paste info into. Sometimes the text contains characters which seem to offend dot.net. So the application breaks. How we intecept these breaks and then decide for ourselves if the content is really "potentially dangerous" or not?
The same string even breaks this "post a new message".
i have 2 aspx files1) 1.aspx - collects info from the user, stores into the DB.2) 2.aspx - collects info from the DB and displays back to the userin 2.aspx, i am encoding(htmlencode,urlencode.....) and displaying the info. so srcipt is displayed as text but not executed. -- expected result.in 1.aspx, i am collecting info from textboxes and store in DB,i am getting below exception when clicked on save button.

New year, new advertising controversy. This time courtesy of Garry Lace's agency Beta and the Outdoor Advertising Association. As I'm sure that you've read about its a campaign designed to demonstrate how outdoor advertising can generate mass public awareness.
Did it work?
In one sense without doubt. Debate was sparked all over the web (though mainly on Mumsnet and Twitter from what I can see and ironically not on BritainThinks.com which was the stated objective) and the ad was pulled yesterday.
But does this prove that outdoor "works" as a medium or does it prove that a controversial message generates controversy?
On Monday Islam4UK announced that they would be marching in Wooten Basset with empty coffins in an anti-war demonstration. They likened the British Army to the Nazi Army and all hell broke loose. Just take a look on Google. Islam4UK didn't use an outdoor billboard to spark this, they used a press release but it got the required result.
Messages that upset and anger people get them talking.
The message not the medium.
It's quite simple.
If Beta had decided to make a short film about how inadequate working mothers are, then seeded it and released it online I think that it would probably have had the same effect.
And now apparently Beta have decided to sue Mumsnet (can anyone confirm that's true??) The Mumsnet community certainly seem to think that is the case. Click on the link and read from about the 60th page of comments for the latest.
As one mum said "He Who Shall Not Be Named" (they are not allowed to mention the Beta founder by name anymore) wanted a campaign that sparked debate and when it sparked debate he now wants to shut it down.
Happy new year.
UPDATE 7/01/10: The Mumsnet legal action was initiated because of the comments about Garry's genitalia apparently. See comments below.

text: First off let me start this off by saying that I uninstalled it, therefore I deleted the free game. Has anyone had this happen to them? I bought a game from the market, went through checkout, and the download started. For whatever reason, neither the phone notification nor the market recognized that the game was installed once the download completed. I went back to the game on the market and had two options: install or refund. Install started a whole new download. Cancelled it, checked my app drawer. Game was there, didn't like it, refunded it. However after refunding, I was still able to play the game. It was horrible anyway so I uninstalled. Did this ever happen to any of you?

CALIFORNIACLASSIX 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe!
- Condition: Used
- Make: Porsche
- Model: 944
- Trim: 944 Turbo
- Year: 1986
- Mileage: 119,560
- Engine size: turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-liter inline four
- Drive type: RWD
- Vehicle Title: Clear Want to buy? Contact seller!
1986 Porsche 944A 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo, now for auction on eBay! Porsche's Other Turbo: 1986 Porsche 944
Turbo Coupe Please wait a few moments while our high-resolution photos load.
At a time where the average ticket into the Porsche 911 world costs around 30 grand, many enthusiasts who have to work for a living start looking at viable alternatives.
Mouse Over the Photos to Enlarge.
The 944 certainly qualifies with flying colors. Built from 1982 until 1991, and thus now 25 to 34 years old, the model has finally achieved the status of a classic.
In its most powerful form, as a 944 turbo, built from 1985 onward, it is so fast that it will walk away from a contemporary 911 Carrera!
The 1986 Porsche 944 turbo featured here, VIN *WP0AA0954GN152859*, is a lifelong Texas/California car and comes with a clean NMVTIS history report. It is curently licensed through June of 2017.
We purchased this fine Porsche in Santa Barbara from a professional poker player who always took very good care of his pride and joy. Just recently, he had local specialist Schneider Autohaus inspect the car; all it needed was a right axle shaft assembly, which was promptly replaced.
Motorvation comes from a counterbalanced 2.5-liter inline four, which develops 217 horsepower at 600rpm -- 10 more horses than the 3.2-liter Carrera had to offer -- thanks to its turbocharger and intercooler.
The engine is healthy as the proverbial ox. It starts on the button and, thanks to a bullet-proof Bosch fuel injection, falls immediately into a smooth idle, hot or cold.
Porsche's body is smooth as silk. Alpine White (L90E) paint is beautifully preserved, with just some touchups and a few signs of age and use to report.
Most desirable on any Porsche and now silly expensive: genuine, forged Fuchs alloy wheels, here still with factory anodizing present. Expensive Michelin tires on all four corners were installed on New Year's Eve, less than 3,000 miles ago.
Unique to the Porsche 944 is the steel sunroof, which can be removed entirely, just like the 911 Targa top, if so desired. The original Porsche storage cover for the top is included with the sale.
Porsche's dashboard layout follows closely that of its sibling, the 911, where form follows function. Like most California Porsches of this vintage, there's some small hairline splits atop the dash.
Cockpit features four large round instruments, containing no less than seven separate gauges, all of which work perfectly.
Driver and passenger enjoy leather-clad power seats.
Rear seats individually fold forward with the push of a button, and provide space for two additional passengers, or a furry friend or two.
The 944 features a very versatile hatchback design. With the rear seat backs folded forward, even large and odd-shaped items can be transported in a hurry.
Trunk is clad in velour carpeting. Valuables can be protected from prying eyes by means of a sun shade.
Stripped of its clothes, the trunk is healthy and beautifully preserved. There are no signs of corrosion anywhere. Inflatable factory spare and factory tool kit are included.
Outright spectacular is the 944's undercarriage. Showing nothing but beautiful factory finishes, it looks like the undercarriage of a pampered three-year-old car.
Let's drive!
Those who claimed that front engined Porsches lack the allure of their rear-engine counterparts must not have driven a 944 turbo. Due to the transaxle setup -- the 944 turbo has the same Type 915 transmission as the 911 Carrera -- weight balance is near perfect, and thus handling is neutral to a point you might not be able to explore on public roads.
Power delivery is smooth as silk, from idle all the way to redline. Once the turbocharger spools up, things happen in a hurry, almost on par with a 930, but less scary. Zero-to-sixty takes a mere 5.9 seconds, and if you keep the pedal to the metal, you'll find out how expensive a speeding ticket for 160mph can be!
An exceptionally well-built car by anyone's standard, many 944s were used without compassion, to a point of no return. Those who have survived the ravages of time are now desirable collector's items.
If there's one Porsche you should add to your stable and enjoy while its value goes up, it could very well be a finely preserved, all-original 944 turbo!

Hospital-Addiction Syndrome
Hospital addiction syndrome or Munchausen syndrome: is a condition where people develop fake illness to receive attention from other people towards ourselves. Certain patients make amazingly complex lies and falsify symptoms with impressive resourcefulness, and some are just silly. Few examples of particularly bizarre cases: The Wanderer, Wendy Scott, Lupus, Faking Cancer with a Badly Forged Note. Hospital-Addiction Syndrome factitious disorder characterized by habitual presentation for hospital treatment of an apparent acute illness, the patient giving a plausible and dramatic history, all of which is false.

Michael Jackson's Technological Feat from the Grave
In Michael Jackson's 50 years on the planet, he reinvented dance, song, and the art of collecting arcade games, but even now, after his death, he's still reinventing. Kraken Opus publishers have recently revealed a new book, coming out December 7th, that Michael was working on before his death. The huge coffee table photo book will include new technology the publishers were working on with Jacko that may be able to bring the book publishing world to the 21st century, and change how we normal peeps exchange photos and videos with friends and family...
The 400-page bible of all things Michael will include hundreds of photos, but will also have essays, illustrations and poetry, handbound in leather and enclosed in a silk clamshell case. The tech comes in with the membership card included with the book.
The card looks like a standard 5-by-6 inch print of a photograph of Michael, but when you hold it in front of your computer's webcam, instead of seeing the image on your computer screen, the 5-by-6 inch card becomes a video screen, showing video clips of Jackson concert footage, complete with audio.
The only way to truly understand this is to watch Kraken Opus CEO Karl Fowler demo the tech with Al Roker on the Today Show.
You can also get a taste of the technology by downloading a sample image from the Kraken Opus site and either printing it out or uploading it to your iPhone and then placing the image in front of your webcam to see the video first hand!
This could be the beginning of some super cool innovations in both the book publishing world -- imagine buying the next Apartment Therapy book and being able to access video interviews of our apartment dwellers via images in the book -- and even the consumer photo world. One day soon it could be possible to send home printed postcards of photos you've taken to friends that then access video greetings when held in front of a webcam! The possibilities are super exciting.

Buddhism was introduced to China around the first century A.D. Since the fourth century A.D, it was widely spread and gradually became the most influential religion in China. Buddhism in China is divided into three branches according to varied language families, namely, Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Pali Buddhism and there are about 200 thousand Buddhist monks and nuns under these three branches. At present, there are more than 13 thousand Buddhist temples that are open to the public, 33 Buddhist colleges and nearly 50 types of Buddhist publications in China.
As one branch of Buddhism in China, Tibetan Buddhism is mainly spread in China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province with some 7 million believers from Tibetan, Mongolian, Yugu, Monba, Luoba and Tu nationalities. Pali Buddhism is popular in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture and Simao region in southwestern China's Yunnan Province with over one million believers from Dai, Bulang, Achang and Va nationalities. The believers of Chinese Buddhism are mainly Han people, who live all over China.
Taoism is a typically traditional religion in China with a history of more than 18 hundred years since the second century A.D. It advocates the worship of natural objects and ancestors as was practiced since time immemorial and had various factions in the history; later, it evolved into two major factions, namely, Quanzhen and Zhengyi Taoism, and was fairly influential among Han people. It is difficult to calculate the exact number of Taoist believers because there are no formal ceremonies or specific regulations concerning the admission to Taoism. At present, there are more than 15 hundred Taoist temples in China with over 25 hundred male and female Taoists there.
Islam was introduced to China in the seventh century A.D with nearly 18 million believers from Hui, Uygur, Tartar, Kirgiz, Kazakh, Ozbek, Dongxiang, Sala and Baoan nationalities. Most of the Muslims in China live in compact communities in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan Provinces; besides, some Muslims in small groups live in other provinces or cities in China. At present, there are more than 30 thousand mosques in China with over 40 thousand imams or ahungs.
Catholicism was first introduced to China in the seventh century and widely spread across the country after the Opium War in 1840. At present, Chinese Catholic Church boasts one hundred parishes, some five million believers, nearly five thousand cathedrals and places for religious activities and twelve theological seminaries. Over the past two decades, the Catholic Church in China have cultivated more than 15 hundred young bishops who are able to hold consecration and among them over one hundred have been sent abroad for further study. In addition, three thousands young girls have been crowned the nunhood after their admission and two hundred nuns have decided to dedicate all their lives to the church. Every year, more than 50 thousand clerics from the Chinese Catholic Church preside over baptism and the church prints over three million copies of Bible.
Christianity was introduced to China in early 19th century and widely spread after 1840s. In 1950, the church called on its believers to shake off the vestige of foreign imperialist influence and uphold patriotism in order to achieve self-administration, self-supporting and self-propagation, which are the cardinal principle of Chinese Christianity. At present, there are about ten million Christian believers, 18 thousand priests and 12 churches or religious sites in China.

Unit 5: Science Connection
Wandering Icebergs
Imagine the state of Connecticut floating along in the ocean. About a year ago, an iceberg that size was found floating in the South Atlantic Ocean. Scientists named the iceberg B-15. It had calved, or broken away, from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
Since then, B-15 has broken into four pieces. One of those pieces swung back into the Ross Ice Shelf and set another iceberg free.
Scientists and other officials worry that the icebergs could endanger passing ships. So they are using satellites and aerial photography to keep track of them. Soon scientists will place tracking devices on the icebergs so they will know their exact locations.
- iceberg:
- A very large piece of ice floating in the ocean: The large ship crashed into the iceberg.
- endanger:
- To expose to danger: Water pollution has endangered the fish in that lake.
- aerial:
- From the air, as from an airplane: Everything looks very small from an aerial view.
- tracking device:
- A piece of equipment that is used to follow the movements of something: We placed a tracking device on the pigeon in order to study its habits.

Hey everyone~!
Did you all have a nice weekend??
Yesterday my roommate/coworker and I went out with some of our amazing students.
It was so fun!
We went to an 居酒屋 (Izakaya) with them and ended up talking, eating, and drinking together for over 4 hours! For those of you who only know me by these posts...I'm a very "kinetic" person. Generally speaking, I maintain my energy by moving around--so for me, sitting at restaurants for so long generally makes me want to fall asleep.
But, to my pleasant surprise, it was actually reaaaaally fun!
The room we had reserved was a Japanese-style room, complete with tatami mats and a view of a Japanese-style garden~
And, naturally, we took puricura to complete the gathering ;)
Suffice to say, I wasn't able to do a 'memoirs of today' post---but I suppose I can make up for that now, seeing as my break today is longer than usual. ;)
(July 6th-8th)
JULY 6th
Himeji Castle, Himeji, Japan
Kyoto, Japan
The 6th was the day we returned to Kyoto after spending the previous day in Hiroshima. We had already visited the famous temples on our agenda during the first few days following our arrival (which you can read about in detail here if you're interested), so we spent this day mostly walking around town, trying to revisit places we were sure we would miss.
Before arriving in Kyoto, however, our travels brought us to the infamous Himeji Castle, which is arguably Japan's most popular castle.
After we had successfully wandered our way to the top of the main building, we grabbed some ice cream and resumed our journey back to Kyoto!
This day proved to be particularly humorous for my friend Teffi and I.
We decided to have a 'girls day' before rejoining our group for dinner
On our way to our favorite shopping area, we had our first official Japanese nanpa...
This charming gentleman was determined to get our numbers...which we didn't have because we were only in Japan for two weeks. So he sufficed for e-mail instead. xD
No sooner had we crossed the street after parting ways with him, than this awesome shop staff started talking to us outside his shop. He coaxed us into his store to talk more and interact with some of his customers.
At one point, he told one particular customers we were his girlfriends.....then gave us snacks xDDDD
After we had fully exhausted ourselves wandering around, we met up with the rest of our group to enjoy some ramen. Again, the staff at the restaurant were awesome!
At one point, for reasons I can't remember, my friend Ryan and I started to create backstories for them as superheroes--I cannot, for the life of me, remember why or wherefore, but, there you have it! Superhero ramen peeps! xD
The next day we were scheduled to head to Wakayama, where we would meet our host families and do a one-week exchange program. With tons of anticipation and full tummies, we headed to bed and waited for the day to come. :)
JULY 7th
Nara, Japan
Wakayama, Japan
The joy of short trips abroad is that you can successfully cram SO MUCH into such a short of time. I did more on this one trip to Japan (my shortest one, at that) than all three trips following it combined.
As I said, this was the day we headed to see our host families
But before arriving in Wakayama, we stopped by the infamous Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall) of Todaiji Temple in Nara.
As might be expected from such an informative title, the buddha inside the hall really were huge and very awe-inspiring! The artistry was absolutely stunning.
But, naturally, one of the most enjoyable aspects for us were the living beings found at the Temple--namely, friendly deer and adorable school kids
Fully awe-inspired and jovial because of our random 'celebrity status' photo requests with new friends,
we headed on our way to finally see our school and meet our host families!
Wakayama epitomizes the Japanese image of "countryside" in so many ways.
To clarify, the image of countryside in Japan is absolutely nothing like the American image. Small cities would be a more accurate description!
But all the same, Wakayama was a beautiful, homely place. <3
AT LAST we arrived at the high school and assembled to meet our host families!
I couldn't have asked for anything better--my host family was amazing!
My host sister, Naho, had visited my school in the US a few years prior, and said she had chosen me right away from the list of students who would be coming to Japan! And my host mother was hilarious! Both of them met me at the school, and I was able to meet my host father and brother later that night after grabbing some KFC and heading home to enjoy it with my new family and some Japanese TV.
It still is one of my fondest memories from Japan, even though it's something so 'normal' :)
I was even more shocked because they actually got me a cake~!!!! My host dad worked at a bakery~ it was soooo sweet of them! <3
JULY 8th
Wakayama, Japan
And now we have officially caught up to the real memoirs of today--my first whole day with my host sister, mother, and friends!
Since it was a weekend, we took a trip to the Rinku outlets to do some shopping~
Our neighbors joined us for the trip, which made it all the more enjoyable! I couldn't get over how adorable the kids were <3
And of course, my host sister is a total babe ;)
Apart from the fact that we went shopping, there wasn't much that was particularly awe-inspiring to write about. It was just great to be able to spend the day with people who became so dear to me. Even now, I often think about this day and how nice it was to be in Japan with only them--there's something about it that makes the whole experience 'real.' There is nothing like living in Japan with a Japanese family~ :)
Weeeeeeell, that about wraps it up for now!
Have you ever done a homestay program before~? :3

I have been a Customer Care Escort at Bryan East for several months and find the work to be surprisingly satisfying. We volunteers really do make a positive difference for patients and/or their families. Staff (especially in the Volunteer & Customer Care office) and other volunteers are extremely pleasant and caring. During your volunteer shift, you can expect to be greeted with hellos and smiles, and you will find yourself smiling all the time, too!

2000 SAAB 9-3 SE Convertible 2.0 turbo from North America
Very satisfying overall. I'd never pay for a new one though
A rear passenger-side window stopped going up.
A few trim pieces - both interior and exterior had to be replaced.
Climate control display does not always display fully.
The cruise control does not operate.
General Comments:
This Saab drop top is a comfortable all-rounder with more than adequate power and well-sorted handling if you accept that it is not a sports car.
If you want a refined, but affordable 4-seat convertible with a manual transmission, the list gets pretty short, and I feel confident this was the best choice from that list.
Why not the BMW? It was my 1st choice for a while, but the Saab won through practicality. Compared to a similar year BMW, the Saab won the day with a glass rear window, In-dash CD player (the BMW just had a changer in the trunk) a larger rear seat, and more power than the 325i models that were much more in abundance on the market than the 328i. I was also interested in owning a turbo engine for the first time.
Yes there is turbo lag, but I've adapted my driving style accordingly so it really isn't a problem. I still have plenty of power to enjoy.
The main disappointment with the engine is that it really isn't a revver. There is not much point in pushing it past 5500. Things get a bit harsh and party seems over at that point anyway. Granted, the turbo really makes such revving unnecessary, but coming from the rev-happy MX-5, it took a little getting used to. Then again, so did actually having some torque.
I am also aware of the car's lack of rigidity at times. On the whole, I drive this car in a much more relaxed manner than the Miata. No more trying to break free on corners or sequential redline shifts. I'm acting my age now, and the Saab accommodates with a plenty of push for the patient and a whole assortment of little luxury car niceties without trying to resemble mission control in the dash.
One exception is the climate control. Despite great initial animosity, me and it have eventually come to terms, rather than blows. Still I'm glad it's a convertible so I don't have to use it much. But really, a couple of knobs would have made thing a lot easier.
I like that fact that I prefer this model to the more recently designed version. While I admire the new model's taillights and grille treatment, I don't like the roof deck shut lines and I think the new IP is awful. It's also stupid expensive. At $44K, so was mine when it was new. As nice as it is, it was never worth that much.
Designed prior to GM's influence, this car has plenty of Saab character which grows on you over time. The key on the console, for instance, turns out to be a really good idea. Easy to find, no keys dangling on your right knee, I don't know why the others haven't copied this idea.
The oval-faced dash has a bit of old-world charm compared to tech-happy faux-metal finished IPs of today's cars. And I love the design of Saab's vents. In addition to their elegant directional control, their vertical shape causes the air to hit your torso more evenly for increased comfort. Another thing they lost with the new design.
The big issue is reliability, particularly given its six years of age. Seven months after purchase, I spent over $2000 on a new A/C compressor, fix a stuck rear window, and have a few regular maintenance items taken care of. My purchase price was reasonably low so I'll accept that one repair just so long as it doesn't become a regular occurrence.
People think I bought a fancy car, but I could not have bought a decent new Civic for the same money. So really it is an issue of risk-taking rather than extravagance. Time will tell on whether the risk was worth it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 2nd May, 2006

Glad to read your review. I am about to purchase a 9-3 LE 3 door, very nice machine, but it has 110000km on the clock - it's a gamble, I'm hoping I won't be dipping into my pocket for many unseen repair issues. Do you think it sounds like a fair buy at $17K AUD?
14th Aug 2007, 21:26
To the original reviewer's opinion that this car was designed w/o any GM influence, that is not true as this generation of 900/9-3 uses the platform from the Opel/Vauxhall Vectra and Calibra.
23rd Aug 2007, 20:15
I've owned a 2000 SAAB 93 SE convertible for about 2 years, and it has not given me any major problems, just minor ones due to the car being bought used at 56000 miles.
It now has 73,000 miles, and the problems that are occurring now are; my convertible T top does not work, the antenna is not working, and the front speaker is busted, which I did not notice until I had already bought the vehicle.
Now I am having problems with the ignition, and also my exhaust needed to be fixed just recently, which was 500.00.
Other than that, I agree with everyone else about the speed, and it being a good 2nd car. It's also fun in the spring and summer.

Excellent review.

Writer's Business
No writer can afford to overlook the reality that writing for the web is very different from what you learned in high school English class. This is business! And the first step to successful communication is rooted in knowing who your audience is.
Who are you writing for?
Writing for the web means engaging two totally different types of visitors. There's your human visitor, vital to the success of whatever business your website is promoting and then there are the Bots.
Bots are the ambassadors of the algorithms; they're out there collecting information and sending it back to the mother ship – the search engine. Algorithms allow the search engine to reply to the needs of the customers; those humans using the facilities to find answers.
However you got here, I have to give you something splendid to consume. OK, maybe not always earth-shattering but full of value. My purpose is to answer your questions or concerns – the information you find here must first be useful.
Bots crawl around the web, finding those pages with pertinent, useful content and scurry back to home base with their findings. It's for this reason that content remains king! Quality content is vital to being a successful communicator when writing for the web.
Keywords are one of the ways the bots find what they're looking for. So when writing for the web, your content must use keywords to be found by the search engines. But it's no good just stuffing your landing pages or articles with keywords!
There's a right way and a wrong way. The right way will get you a steady and growing stream of visitors but do it wrong and your website is going to take a knock!
Mistakes, I've made a few
A while back, the whole of the internet knew about Penguin and Panda, Google's terrible twins. Sites that used underhanded tactics were heavily penalized, dropping out of sight literally overnight.
But that's all in the past and you're not going to make those dirty tricks your own. You've worked too hard on your website and your business to compromise your standards now.
It all starts with the content. The search engines love quality content, the bots love quality content. Have something to say and make it useful; answer problems for your readers. Address their concerns. Entertain them. Writing for the web means writing for others.
The big easy…
Make the content easy to read. Not the language, per se – but writing for the web is all about scan-ability. Your visitor's time is precious. They're busy people so make your writing accessible. Don't overwhelm the reader with big blocks of solid text – walls they have to climb just to get to the good stuff.
Break it down so that the eye can quickly pick up the relevant information and move on to the next point. Give that material the correct headings. Search engines love headings so be sure yours are correctly formatted as in h1, h2, h3 and if necessary, h4 and h5.
Enhance the calm
When writing for the web, don't forget the importance of white space, those blank patches where the human eye can rest. Having white space on the page or post will keep the visitor reading there longer. The clean, uncluttered look of the best websites is helped by the judicious use of white space.
For the same reason, bullet points and numbered lists are very popular. The content is organized in such a way that it can be quickly scanned by the reader. If this is what they need, they'll read but if not, they can move on. Your visitor engagement will improve because people will come back, over and over to a place where they find value.
Make it pretty…
Something overlooked when writing for the web is the importance of an image. We're visual creatures, us humans. Don't agree? Then explain please why Pinterest and Instagram are so enormously popular?
An eye-catching image will add plenty of visitor-appeal to your website. Well-chosen pictures enhance the message the content is conveying. And images can be optimized for your keywords because images are content too. Read more about optimizing your images here.
Writing for the web is all about engaging with your audience. But don't just take my word for it. Spend a few minutes working out why your favorite sites are favorites.
Examine the posts and articles. Take a good look at the way they are presented. What appeals to you will appeal to others. And don't be afraid to be critical, like most things, websites aren't perfect. Yours can be better.
Why not?
What do you appreciate about a website?

In today's world of the telecommuter and virtual worker, conference calls are a constant, crucial form of business communication. While technology has given us the ability to make these conference calls more dynamic by connecting dozens of folks via video, the reality is that audio conferencing is the most affordable way to conduct a conference call and the preferred method for most businesses. Conference calls can quickly get off track and become unproductive if you don't have the right technology in place and follow a few rules to help stay on track and remain productive. Here are four simple ways to ensure your next conference is more productive and crystal clear. Cost and time are key factors that make audio conferencing a preferred option for hosting effective meetings. A study by Verizonshowed that a five-person meeting conducted in person (average cost $5197.50) is over seven times more expensive than a meeting conducted by audio conference (average cost $689.24) and nearly three times as expensive as a video conference (average cost $1700.69). Considering the cost and time involved, it's important for businesses to ensure that the conference calls they are holding are effective and productive—not just a waste of time. But for anyone who attends a conference call on a regular basis, we all know that this isn't always how it goes. Unstable connections, garbled voices, too many participants talking at the same time and people popping in and out of the call are just some of the issues that can spoil a call. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard, "I can't hear you …can you move closer to the speaker?" on a conference call I'd be a rich man! Here are a few tips to make your conference calls more productive and some technology to help keep it crystal clear:
1. Have an agenda and a facilitator. The easiest way for a conference call to get off track is by not having a clear-cut agenda and someone to facilitate the conversation.
2. Keep it short. Best-selling author and entrepreneur Seth Godin suggests that the maximum length of any call should be 10 minutes. Employees won't have time to multitask in that short window, so you can expect their undivided attention.
3. Invite only those who need to be on the call. As a rule of thumb, you should limit the amount of people on a call to 4 or 5. The only people who should be on a conference call are those who you expect to speak. For instance, instead of inviting the entire sales and marketing team to a product launch call, invite just the team leaders or managers. All others who will be involved in the process can review the meeting notes after the call is complete. This eliminates chaos.
4. Eliminate background noise and distractions. Background noise and interference will make it impossible for those calling in to your conference call to effectively hear what is being said. Here is where having the right technology is essential and the right conference phone makes all the difference. One of the best systems for small business is the ErisStation™ from VTech. With four wireless DECT 6.0 microphones with Orbitlink Wireless Technology™, onsite participants can spread out and speak without having to raise their voices, no matter how large the meeting room is. Add in dynamic noise reduction (DNR), which automatically eliminates ambient noise (computer fans, ventilation systems, etc.) and your call will be crystal clear and free of background noise!
It's time to say goodbye to garbled voices, background noise and unproductive calls! By employing smart tips and technology, you'll put value back into your conference calls and save your small business lots of time and money.

Cross-border programme in Poland launches 415,000 call for proposals
Polish non-profit organisations can now apply for grants to implement partnership projects with entities in the EEA EFTA states, Baltic Sea countries, and countries neighbouring Poland to the east.
The overarching aim of the €1.3 million fund is to stimulate the capacity for cross-border cooperation of public Polish entities on regional and local levels. Project proposals can be submitted to fund manager The East European Democratic Centre until 10 February 2009.
A total €80,000 will be awarded to projects carried out in bilateral partnerships with one partner from the EEA EFTA states (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) or the Baltic Sea area countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Germany).
The major bulk of funding in this call, €335,000, will be awarded to projects carried out in multilateral partnerships with at least two foreign partners, including Ukraine, Belarus, the Russian Federation- Kaliningrad District.
The co-financing requirement has been set at 10%.
For further information, see the open call text and the programme`s web page.
Cross-border activities under the EEA and Norway Grants
Cross-border activities are included in a small, but important, group of funds and projects financed by the EEA and Norway Grants. By promoting knowledge transfer between regions, as well as networking and sharing of experience on local development, these activities make an important contribution both towards reducing economic and social disparities, as well as towards strengthening cohesion in Europe.
A majority of the cross-border projects funded by the EEA and Norway Grants involve local or regional public bodies and NGOs, many of them supporting efforts to strengthen capacity and good governance in local government. Several projects also include collaboration across multiple borders.

Funny video I was totally laughing out loud and then saying aww poor thing haha. About the twilight series, Darren is the one that made me read it. I wasn't interested at all and didn't start them until he was already done with the 3rd book. He listens to them on audio at work though and I prefer to read them. But both of us liked all of the books.
