- Solutions to Linear Equations in Two Variables
- Ordered Pairs as Solutions
Inside Collection (Textbook): Basic Mathematics Review
This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr.
We have discovered that an equation is a mathematical way of expressing the relationship of equality between quantities. If the relationship is between two quantities, the equation will contain two variables. We say that an equation in two variables has a solution if an ordered pair of values can be found such that when these two values are substituted into the equation a true statement results. This is illustrated when we observe some solutions to the equation
It is important to keep in mind that a solution to a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair of values, one value for each variable. A solution is not completely known until the values of both variables are specified.
Recall that, in an equation, any variable whose value can be freely assigned is said to be an independent variable. Any variable whose value is determined once the other value or values have been assigned is said to be a dependent variable. If, in a linear equation, the independent variable is
In an ordered pair,
We can use ordered pairs to show some solutions to the equation
These are only three of the infintely many solutions to this equation.
Find a solution to each of the following linear equations in two variables and write the solution as an ordered pair.
Substitute 1 for
Hence, one solution is
Hence, one solution is
Substitute 2 for
Hence, one solution is
Substitute 0 for
Hence, one solution is
Find a solution to each of the following linear equations in two variables and write the solution as an ordered pair.

If you forget the trailing / then your link to www.domain.com/folder will first be redirected to domain.com/folder/ {without www!} before arriving at the required www.domain.com/folder/ page. The intermediate step, at domain.com/folder/ will kill your listings. Lucklily, this effect is very easy to see if you use Xenu LinkSleuth to check your site: it shows up as reporting double the number of pages (when you generate the sitemap) that you actually have, with half of the pages having a title of "301 Moved".
Beware of a 301 redirect from non-www to www where the defaultsitename is domain.com and where you are linking to a folder, and where you forget to add the trailing / to the URL in the link.

Rabbit at Rest is a 1990 novel by John Updike. It is the fourth and final novel in a series beginning with Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; and Rabbit is Rich. There is also a related 2001 novella, Rabbit Remembered. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1991, the second "Rabbit" novel to garner the award.
Plot summary[edit]
The novel is part of a series that follows the exploits of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom from 1960–1990. Rabbit at Rest focuses on the years 1988-1989. It finds Harry nearly forty years after his glory days as a high school basketball star in a mid-sized Pennsylvania city. Harry and his wife of 33 years, Janice, have retired to sunny Florida during the cold months, where Harry is depressed, bored, and dangerously overweight.
Unable to stop nibbling corn chips, macadamia nuts and other junk food, Rabbit finds himself near death after a heart attack while sunfishing with his nine-year-old granddaughter Judy. In a "redemption" of the drowning death of his infant daughter Rebecca in the earlier novel Rabbit, Run, he saves Judy from drowning during this incident.
He is distracted from his health worries by the acts of his drug-addicted son, Nelson, to whom Janice has very unwisely given control of the family business, a Pennsylvania Toyota dealership. The discovery that Nelson has been stealing from the company to support his drug habit leads to Harry losing the family business. Despite his problems and growing unhappiness, he manages to take some comfort in Judy, who has turned out to be beautiful and attractive, a reminder of himself in his high-school glory days. He is less attached to his four-year-old grandson Roy, who seems wary and fearful of Rabbit, much like Nelson.
While recuperating from heart surgery, Rabbit recognizes one of the nurses, Annabelle Byer, as the young woman he believes is his illegitimate daughter by his old girlfriend Ruth. He becomes friendly with her but decides not to identify himself as her possible father. Around this time, his long-term mistress Thelma Harrison (wife of his high-school nemesis Ron) dies of lupus. Ron angrily confronts Harry at the funeral, but the men later reconcile while playing golf. Harry also sees Cindy Murkett at the funeral, a woman he had sexually obsessed over ten years ago, and is saddened to see she has become an obese and bitter divorcee.
After Nelson comes back from rehab, and Janice begins work as a real estate agent, the family finds out that Harry has had a one-night stand with Pru, Nelson's wife, on the night after he was released from the hospital. Janice's anger over this betrayal prompts Harry to escape to Florida. While in hiding, Harry has a heart attack shortly after winning a one-on-one basketball game with a local youth (echoing the opening of Rabbit, Run in which Harry impulsively joins a group of teenagers playing basketball). Nelson and Janice manage to get to his bedside while Harry is still alive; his wife forgives him, and he reconciles with his son.

Council is beginning its meeting with employee recognitions. The chambers is packed. Firefighters, public works and police recognized for "around the clock" efforts during snowstorms (http://tweetphoto.com/18324540)
City Mgr Gary Jackson: City had four times as many calls for emergency services as normal during the snowstorms.
It's a recognition-filled meeting: Council and city manager are now saluting outgoing CFO Ben Durant.
Civic Center report: There have been fewer "dark days" without events this year. Also: About 3,000 people showed up for the last Blue Ridge rollergirls bout at the Center. Fifty percent of ticket-buyers for major events come from over 75 miles away. The Center is a "major economic driver," says board Chair Mike Burke. He adds that Civic Center facilities will need improvements to attract higher-profile events that are seeking to come to Asheville.
City of Asheville CFO Ben Durant is being recognized for his service. He is moving on to a new position. Mayor Bellamy says she believes Durant's financial work is based on sound figures.
Council amends acceptance of state bus-route Black Mountain in order to ask the federal government to deem the route "inter-city," rather than "intracity." Current federal equations, due to a fluke, consider the Asheville urban-transit area as covering 200,000-plus people, an area that includes Blk Mtn.
Council unanimously approves using federal stimulus funds to install West Asheville sidewalks.
Council unanimously approves voluntary annexation of two properties in the airport area.
Council is most of way through agenda, only a few people in chambers, sun still out #strange.
Council delays voting on agreement to maintain Pack Square Park because details of the partnership still being worked out.
Staff reporter Forbes' last tweet was sent at 8:27 p.m.
City Attorney Bob Oast is presenting the city's agenda for our state legislators to bring in in this year's short session. Oast says we can't realistically be too ambitious with short session. Council might ask to adjust the boundary with Woodfin, and use water as incentive for annexation. "We've got a very short time to get these in," Oast says, so goals mostly need to be limited.
The League of Municipalities is asking Asheville to join in opposing proposed laws that would require collective bargaining with police and fire employees.
Mayor Bellamy says, "This could have some huge impacts on how we do business as a city" and requests Oast to study the League's request.
"So the idea's people would have an option to form unions, which they don't now," says Vice Mayor Newman. He says he doesn't want to take position.
"I'm very much in favor of unionization at every turn," says Council member Bothwell. He calls the state anti-union laws "dastardly."
"I'm torn on the issue of unions," says Council member Manheimer. She says sees benefits to workers, but also they can be "crushing to employer."
Union law "would be fairly devastating to city and our budget," says Council member Davis, but he says he wants more info before making decision.
State Sen. Martin Nesbitt and Rep. Bruce Goforth are ready to meet as soon as possible with Council once we have unanimous agreement on our legislative priorities, Bellamy says.
Bellamy, speaking on state public-financing legislation, says "It's not fair to say someone bought their seat because they're good at raising dollars." Proposed state public-financing legislation would give cities option to debate and decide on public financing of candidates' campaigns. Council will get more info on public-financing legislation and decide at later date whether to support it.
Council approves asking legislators for: the Woodfin boundary change, clarifying energy improvements and public-access funding, and greater annexation leeway.
Asheville's predatory towing ordinance seems to be working, Oast notes, adding that complaints have declined.
Council is going into closed session to discuss "potential litigation," and property acquisitions.
Council is considering 5 percent increase in water fees, an increase in price of bus passes, plus planning, construction and other fees.
Asheville resident Fred English says during the comment period that "you've got to spend money wisely," saying the city shouldn't spend on things like art on buses.
Manheimer says the city has made "a good move" in using fee increases to recover the costs of the services it provides.
Newman says he will vote for fee increases, but likes the transit-fee increases the least, saying he "wouldn't support raising them any more."
Bellamy says she won't support fees because they hit the already-reeling building industry.
Davis says he's also reluctant, but the "fees are fair... part of the cost of doing business."
Bothwell says, "I don't think these fees will keep anyone from building" and that the transit passes are still a bargain.
Bellamy says that 70 percent of transit users don't have other methods of transportation; they'll feel fee increases.
Transit and general-fee increases pass, 5-2, with Bellamy and Russell opposed.
Water fees now being considered.
Russell will oppose water-fee hikes, feels this would've been good year to take a break given spate of recent improvements.
Bellamy says the city doing the right thing by raising fees, and making sure revenue is paying for improvements and the incurred debt.
Manheimer says, "I somewhat resent, in a friendly way, those on Council who oppose this... [We] can't keep saying no to every adjustment."
Council passes a 4 percent increase in water-fees for consumption, 6-1, Russell opposed.
Council is now voting on an additional 1 percent hike, this one for water-system capital improvements.
Newman is supporting the increase, but wants to look at the water-fee structure, so increases hit working families less, and encourages conservation.
Council member Smith says that breweries, coffee shops are among those who will feel the brunt of the increase.
The second, capital-improvement, increase passes 4-3 with Bellamy, Russell and Davis against.
Council is discussing contributing $100,000 to the UNC-Chapel Hill pharmaceutical satellite school, to be established in Asheville, which the UNC Board of Governors approved last week. Council approves the contribution, 6-1, Bothwell opposed.
High school students are speaking to Council on behalf of a Planned Parenthood youth initiative, advocating on behalf of STI prevention and sex ed.
During the comment period, Asheville resident Fred English says he is almost embarassed to be part of Asheville, "the way things are going." And Chris Chiaromonte complains about proximity of downtown police auxiliary to public restrooms, and city's plan to end homelessness. He says, "Asheville's known for one thing: If you want to do a study, come here; they'll pay for it."

While watching Junya Watanabe's faster-than-the-speed-of-light spring show, where everything flashed by with graphic precision in the blink of an eye, a thought popped up: When reviewing, do not, under any circumstances, mention the following: "modern," "futuristic," or "athletic." And yet, unfortunately (but really fortunately, because Watanabe gave a powerful performance) those were precisely the words that sprang to mind when considering his fast-and-furious elevation of laboratory-fresh synthetics into intricately paneled and pieced godeted skirts, draped and layered tanks, and jacket-dresses, that curious-yet-chic new hybrid that has been appearing on a few of the runways of this city's more clever and considered designers. He opened with second-skin long-sleeved tops and leggings geometrically blocked in the likes of rust, orange, gray, and dark green, the graphic placement of the lines creating some kind of exoskeleton effect and a sense of articulation; long-term Watanabe admirers might find they call to mind an exceptional collection from the mid-nineties that fused insectology with colored plastics and menswear-suiting fabrics.
Watanabe next sent out black or white dresses whose contrast banding had, incongruously, an almost Art Nouveau–like quality to them, and then, in kaleidoscopically quick array, neon orange, acid green, cobalt, and searing red long-line tanks with circular cutouts, parkas with hoods rolled into collars with an elegance redolent of early sixties couture, and skirts whose volume would explode with a highly controlled rigor into a million little fans and flurries. To close, black tailored pieces—coats and the aforementioned jackets—that could be worn as dresses, should you wish, and brilliant, twisted second-skin LBDs, whose taut draping gave a sense of the dresses being in motion.
Everything was teamed with Puma sneakers, and, in fact, the appearance of the leaping big cat on some of the clothes (a game of Spot the Panther ensued) confirmed that Watanabe is now collaborating with the German sports brand. That's one good reason for his leap into referencing active sportswear. As to whether Watanabe did all this because he was glued to the 2012 London Olympics back home in Japan, who can say, but it's unlikely—though given the playfully tongue-in-cheek perversity that he's not averse to every now and then, it would strike the right note if Watanabe decided to have his athletic wear in stores a whole six or so months after the games. More realistically, he too has caught the coming season's sense of urgency around clothes that feel performative in real and meaningful ways to women in their everyday lives. If you happen to be feeling the same way, you're in luck here, because Watanabe's versions were thoroughly winning.

Police are investigating the theft of $300,000 in wiring from a northwest Atlanta warehouse that's been transformed into a movie set for an upcoming Hollywood film.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the warehouse is being used for filming of the sequel to the 2004 comedy film "Anchorman."
Police said the thieves stripped the wiring from the building, one of several break-ins in recent weeks in the Defoors Ferry Road area. Another theft happened Monday, less than a half-mile from the warehouse where "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is being filmed.
Atlanta police said the warehouse is being rented to Paramount Worldwide Productions for the making of the sequel. The thieves apparently entered through a rear garage door, then used a winch to pull wire out of the walls.

Gator Pitching Nearly Perfect, Sweep the Lipton Invitational with 9-0 Win over North Dakota State
Published March 6th, 2011
Loading Video...
On Sunday afternoon, senior Stephanie Brombacher faced her first batter in the top of the 1st inning. A harmless pop-up turned into a bloop-single after two teammates failed to catch it. No matter for Stephanie, because she was in control the entire rest of the way and retired every batter she faced. Brombacher went four innings, with five strikeouts, and that one bloop single, as the No. 2/3 Florida Gators defeated North Dakota State 9-0. The Gators were powered by the long ball, with Aja Paculba and Brittany Schutte hitting two two-run blasts out of Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. It was the fifth victory of the Lipton Invitational, claiming the tournament, and at 19-0 the Gators match its best start in program history.

So, Robert, should we kill poor kids? Since you support killing them before they are born, why not kill them afterward to save them from living one more moment of their "horrible lives." You can't possibly argue, based on your belief that potential poverty is a good reason to carry out a death sentence on a child, that actual poverty shouldn't lead to "choice" without limits. If you can't bear the thought, because you are so compassionate of course, of a kid maybe missing meals and going to a bad school, what is the argument, compassionate Robert, against sweeping the schools in Detroit to mercifully end all that suffering that just breaks your heart? Scary thought...having someone like you decide who lives or dies.

"the 31 states where gay marriage was put to vote"
Umm...false framing. Voters in 31 states have amendment their constitutions to preserve the definition of marriage as a union between husband and wife. "Gay marriage" was not on the ballot in any of those states.
IR wrote:
"Exposing a child prematurely to sex is damaging to the child, but it is not the same as murdering the child"
Umm...you're understating the crime here. These are babies that were violently raped! Referring to this as merely "exposing a child prematurely to sex" is like saying killing a child is "expsing her prematurely to the terminal state."
"Would parents who hesitate to let their kids eat preservatives or nonorganic eggs consent to block the complex hormones that begin to flood kids' bodies at puberty?"
I'd say that parents who force their kids to eat like that are even MORE likely to jam them full of hormone treatments that wreak havoc on a child's body, mind, and soul.
"It is likely cause not effect."
This is a mere assertion. You have no idea if this is true or not. It is what you believe, no more.

He grew up in Colorado where the natural environment had a profound influence on his perception of the relationships that exist between nature, humanity, culture and technology. In 1993, he founded the Cyber Arts (now New Media) program at the University of Toledo. Recent work includes interactive artworks, prints, web-based art and mixed media pieces. Much of my work is about time. I am curious about the ways in which we mark and catalog our observations as memories or "facts" and guess at our futures. I relate history and tell stories. I reveal facts and I lie. But most of all, whether I'm working in interactive media or print, I'm sharing the complexity of a significant moment. About my use of technology: I believe that, for humans, technology and nature are one and the same. Millions of years ago, a proto-human struck a stone against another to fashion a tool. With a loud thwack, that hominid forever fused our physical, cultural and technical evolutions. As a tool-making species, our technology is a natural for us as a nest is for a bird. For me, the wonderful thing about the computer as an art medium is the freedom to move with relative ease between the different visual vocabularies of many diverse media within a single work. This allows me to be a potter, woodworker, photographer, draughtsman, computer technician, inventor, writer, archeologist, historian and, most of all, a thinker. |

Candy and soda might, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on an individual's health. But most of us would probably find it ridiculous to state that candy and soda threaten the existence of the human race.
The man who invented the web, however, might be accused of making an equivalent argument when it comes to the web's version of candy and soda -- all of those 'closed' services so many of us love, like Facebook and iTunes.

First appearance | "Bender Gets Made" |

- "Should I use, THE CLAMPS!"
- ―Francis X. Clampazzo's catchphrase
Francis X. Clampazzo, better known as Clamps, is one of the recurring antagonists in Futurama. He is robot who is a part of the Robot Mafia and works for Donbot.
Clamps is a bronze colored Robot, with a slender body and small door on his torso. He has a row of rivets on the right side of his face, appearing like a scar or stitches. Clamps' personality is paranoid, sarcastic, and highly aggressive, reflecting that of Joe Pesci's character Tommy DeVito in the film Goodfellas, as well as his high pitch, high tempo voice. Clamps loves to use his own clamps at "every opportunity" but his clamps are often unnecessary in any given situation. In spite of his love for his clamps, in Bender Gets Made, when they are needed, he is antagonized by Joey Mousepad when Joey suggests Clamps actually uses them. In The Silence Of The Clamps, he starts to work in Planet Express after Bender is forced to go into the witness protection program. The crew starts to trust him completely except Zoidberg, who thinks that he will also be replaced by Francis due to the fact that Francis can cut and clamp while Zoidberg can only cut. Francis goes into the moon's western border and finds Bender, who is actually Billy West. Francis tries to kill Billy but Zoidberg prevents him from doing so and they fight. Francis tries to kill Zoidberg by crushing his skull but Zoidberg gains the upper hand and defeats Francis by cutting off his clamps.

Soccer Aid started in 2006 as a brainwave of UNICEF UK ambassador Robbie Williams. Every two years two teams of celebrities and football legends from England and the Rest of the World play a match to raise funds for UNICEF and change the lives of children around the world.Since it first began Soccer Aid has raised over £12 million for UNICEF's work with children and has involved legendary players Diego Maradonna, Zinedine Zidane and Teddy Sheringham as well as music, film and TV stars from around the globe.Funds raised through Soccer Aid have helped children around the world though UNICEF's work on health, education, nutrition, water, HIV and AIDS and protection for vulnerable children.
Each squad has 12 celebrities, six legends - including one goalkeeper - and a professional manager. In the first half each team plays with their professional goalie and in the second their celebrity goalkeeper takes to the pitch (so expect goals!)There are no rolling substitutions so once a player comes off they can't come back on unless the match goes to a penalty shoot out.If the game is tied at 90 minutes the match goes straight to a penalty shoot out between the celebrity players only.
This year world class referees Mark Clattenburg and Howard Webb will be making sure the celebrities and legends stick to the rules.
England won the first two Soccer Aid matches but couldn't make it a hat-trick in 2010, with the Rest of the World team narrowly winning on penalties. England came back in force in 2012 with a clear victory.

This is a very nice park with paved roads and level concrete pads. There are sites for the largest DPs. It is dog friendly with 2 dog walks plus a trail around their "mountain". We would stay there again.

This is not a place we'd stay again. I picked it over it's completion based on other reviews but was very disappointed in this small cramped park, however; it served it's purpose as a place to stop for the night. There were abandoned, gutted house trailers along one side of the park and what appeared to be a permanent 5th wheel in one site with loud teens or young adults. We won't come again.

Montgomery Reacts To Same Sex Marriage RulingAfter speaking with Alabama lawmakers today, it doesn't look like the state is going to allow same sex marriage any time soon. There's currently a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, which would require a vote by the state's population to change. Today's decision will let gay couples have the same benefits as traditional couples, if gay marriage is legal in that state. It's currently illegal in Alabama and Republican Senator Dick Brewbaker says it doesn't look like that's going to change. "I think the current stance in alabama is, and most of the elected officials do not favor legalizing gay marriage, period. I don't think there's any chance that the legislature is going to enact any laws that seek to support what the supreme court did today," said Senator Brewbaker. Democratic Representative Joe Hubbard is concerned that this will turn in to a major political issue in the state and overshadow issues like job creation and the economy. "That's not to say that there aren't some in the legislature or elsewhere in state politics who might want to make a politlcal issue of this for the upcoming elections. I fully anticipate that. Which is unfortunate because for all intents and purposes we're still clawing our way out of a very deep recession," said Representative Hubbard. But others in Montgomery are hopeful that this is the start of a change nationwide and here at home. Montgomery resident Scott Page was anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court's decision this morning. "We should all be given the rights and the privileges of being americans and being happy and in love I believe. But I'm very happy and pleased with the results," said Page. |

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I wanted to like this book. Before I read it I was sure I was going to love it. But it just didn't grab me. First a brief synopsis of the story. Liesel Meminger is travelling on a train with her mother and brother. Liesel and her brother are going to live with foster parents because her mother can't afford to look after them. On the journey Liesel's brother dies. When he is buried a small book falls out of the pocket of one of the grave diggers and Liesel picks it up. It is her first book theft but the ironic twist to this is that Liesel can't read. When she arrives at the foster parents' house she doesn't want to go in but the father, Hans Huberman, coaxes her in. Liesel has nightmares every night about her brother and every night Hans, whom Liesel soon calls Papa, comes in. When she wets the bed Hans discovers the book that Liesel stole and then he discovers that Liesel can't read. So he takes it upon himself to teach her and she becomes quite a good reader. She steals other books and forms friendships and all the while the war is raging. There is obviously more to it than that but that's the basis of the story. Now to why I didn't care for it. The book is narrated by Death and some of Death's thoughts are placed in bold print in the middle of paragraphs. I found this style very intrusive and disturbing to the narrative flow. I also resented the foreshadowing that Death did which I felt placed a pall over some otherwise tender moments. Finally, the repetitive use of Saumensch and Saukerl and Arshloch, profanities that Rosa, the foster mother, uses liberally, seemed overdone. I'm still not sure why Zusak chose to use these words which almost seem to be pet names. It would be like me calling my best friend "bitch" and my husband "son of a whore" all the time. It just doesn't sit well with me. I know lots of people love this book but I also know I'm not the only one who didn't care for it. This book was chosen by my work book club as our read for March. If I hadn't had that motivation I think I probably would have abandoned the book. More like a prose poem than a novel. More like a prose poem than a novel. More like a prose poem than a novel. More like a prose poem than a novel.
This over-praised, overlong novel is in trouble before it starts. The acknowledgments open with a tribute to someone "who is as warm as she is knowledgeable" and continue in the same saccharine manner. Unsettling, thought-provoking, life-affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner. I cannot recommend it highly enough. This is a moving work which will make many eyes brim. Zusak shows us how small defiances and unexpectedly courageous acts remind us of our humanity. It isn't only Death who is touched. Liesel steals our hearts too. The Australian writer Markus Zusak's brilliant and hugely ambitious new young-adult novel is startling in many ways, but the first thing many teenagers will notice is its length: 552 pages! It's one thing to write a long book about, say, a boy who happens across a dragon's egg; it's quite another to write a long, achingly sad, intricately structured book about Nazi Germany narrated by Death itself. This is never an easy read, never a glide. But, in Zusak's ability to imagine and execute, he has achieved a very personal vision that grabs the reader and does not let go.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375842209, Paperback)It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:53:44 -0400) Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors.

No Internet connection...Bootcamp help please
Hello everyone!! I have been trying to install a window 7 on my mac. I succeeded in doing so but the problem I am facing right now is that I cannot connect to a wireless network when on my Win 7. I am using 10.6 and I have installed all the drivers. The keyboard, trackpad, sound, etc works perfectly fine! So I don't know what else to do please help I have also tried repairing though.

Are you able to see any networks, or is it you can see yours but can't connect? What kind of security does your network use? WEP, WPA, WPA2?

Do you know if your router is broadcasting the name of the network or is it closed/hidden? The security is determined by whomever set up the network. If you did not set up the wireless network, ask the person who did.

This is a network you can see and connect to in Mac OS but not in Windows? How did you install the drivers? Was the 10.6 disc with the drivers specific to your computer or a generic retail disc?

Day 3: Your ultimate k-pop guy bias
Lol I don't necessarily have a guy bias, so i'm going to take this into a slightly different direction.
These five are my role models and inspiration to try and be a better person.
First: When I first saw this video…Fuuuuu—-they can hella pull off suits lol. It's incredibly impressive and they're fucking badasses day and night. Second: They inspire me for so many reasons. I look up to GD for how much of an amazing leader he is. He is a fantastic person and I'm so glad that he has been leading the group with his strength and vigor. TOP for, to put it frankly, being a complete and total badass. Lol I aspire to be able to stare like he does and I am always blown away by how he raps and how hard he works, no matter how self-conscious he is about his dancing skills. Taeyang, for his mind-blowing dancing. After seeing what Tae has done, it made me work that much harder to try and become a better dancer. Daeseung for being able to handle the situation involving him and the car accident as well as he could. Daeseung has stayed strong and he certainly is an inspiration that even through one of the toughest situations in someones life, you can pull through as traumatizing as it is. Last, but not least, Seungri. To me, Seungri is the most well-rounded person in the group. He's a hilarious maknae who knows how to take crap from the other hyungs and me being the youngest too makes me really feel a similar connection. Him singing is like an angel descending onto my computer and his dancing skills are just as incredible as anyone else's. Seungri is my favorite of the five and his shear amount of awesome will always make him the best.

I am relatively new to owning an RV and I was wondering if KOAs as a whole are nice or if it better to stay non-franchise cg s. I f have stayed a few KOAs and I get the feeling that KOA does not monitor the cgs that are not in the more tourist areas. I plan on doing a lot of traveling and KOA has a great website to locate a cg. I hope that my poor experiences have been the exception rather than the norm. So, as a whole are KOAs to be avoided or enjoyed ?

I had my 2nd worst camping experience at a KOA. If they would have at least addressed my concerns I would have been satisfied.
KOA corporate office made excuses, the campground owner could care less about his campers safety or campground cleanliness. To me, KOA is all about drunks partying into the wee hours and filthy restrooms. Not family friendly at all! I no longer stay at KOA's . |

[Joe Boulter, 04/17/2006]Stopped by the Sandy Jug on 7/20/2005. Now known as the Pirate's Cove, and it is a full-time strip club. Very small inside, barely enough room for one stage and a bar. Not the best strippers in town, BY FAR. Outside of building is now all red. Pirate theme inside. Very interesting!

Faculty-Student Research
Emmanuel is an environment where countless collaborations between faculty and students are taking place. It is a place filled with the type of personal interactions, opportunities and outcomes that are simply not available everywhere.
Our students dive into advanced research to explore the depths of their disciplines of choice, working side by side with faculty members as early as their freshman year. During the summer, many of these students receive grants and remain on campus to conduct ongoing research full time with their faculty counterparts. Such hands-on experiences offer powerful advantages; they build upon knowledge attained in the classroom, shape students' intellectual potential and better prepare them for professional opportunities and graduate-level studies.
This is a campus alive with interactive learning and community building-the hallmark of the Emmanuel College educational experience.

The Ship
I thought she looked to be in good shape over all considering she is not a new ship. We were in balcony cabin that was very roomy with lots of storage, refrigerator, two big closets, bathroom with tub, balcony with room for lounger and chair. Ship never feels crowded. Not an issue to get a seat in Lido for a meal or theater for a show or bar for a drink. Only the piano bar got crowded after dinner, but in a good way. Easy ship to navigate.
The Staff
I think that this is where Maasdam shines. Everyone seemed friendly and anxious to please. We traveled with an 89 year old on walker, an 89 year old on cane and a 91 year old. The staff was always pulling out their chairs, whisking away the walker and cane which appeared when ready to leave. At the ports, whoever was around from the staff was helpful in terms of getting my mother in a wheelchair and pushing it up a long gangway or helping her down a steep flight of steps to the tender.
I thought it was very good, although not like going to a gourmet restaurant. Good variety and willingness to bring you multiple choices just to "taste!" Ate in the Italian restaurant for a change one night. Good service, food decent, not great. (Disclaimer - from NY area where we are used to very good Italian food). Did not do Pinnacle, didn't see need to spend so much extra for a dinner.
Shows I saw were good, enjoyable way to pass some time. Piano bar was fun and lively. Library space quite large, well used, lots of travel books for upcoming ports which I needed since there had been two last minute substitutions. Daily paper, crossword, sudoku. Did not use internet. Used ipad in terminals at every port for free. Crows nest was the best bar in my opinion. Great view forward when the ship sailed. Wonderful staff (guys more than girls) and happy hour every day 4:30 to 5:30. If looking for younger music need to go to Crow's Nest at night for DJ and some times live band. Did some trivia games. Tables in MIX have electronic games built into tables which are fun. Shopping on ship typical. Gym was well equipped. Good stretching class every morning at 7 am followed by more vigorous 1/2 hour class at 7:30, no extra charge.
Can't comment on excursions. Did our own thing.
Sydney - couldn't get in due to high winds so spent day at sea. That was disappointing. Felt like we were on cruise to nowhere, but understandble.
Charlottetown - Rented car, drove to far side and rented bikes to ride along the shore in the national park. Great day. Avoided the commercial part of island.
Gaspe - rented car, drove to Percey. Okay, quaint town with lots of shops all carrying exactly the same touristy merchandise. An interesting rock formation to see. Pretty scenery, but would not choose itinerary with this port.
Sanguenay - rented car, drove about an hour to a pre-booked kayak trip. Fjord was beautiful. We paddled for 3 hours, so arms got good work out.
Quebec City - walked from Old Town, to the big hotel to the Citadel to the park beyond the Citadel. Ate lunch in an outdoor cafe, saw street performers, went through the shops, bought some art work. Definitely felt very European.
Embarkation and disembarkation very easy. Would re-think a trip that is not round trip. Logistics are kind of a pain. We rented two cars in Montreal and drove home to NJ, an easy 5-6 hour trip (depending on how long you get stuck at border) which was a lot less than flying. NB - very few car rental companies allow taking car from Canada to USA, Hertz does. We had great weather and considering what we came home to after Irene paid her visit, a good week to be away.
