For more than 350 million years, nature's forces have shaped these mysterious geological features in this prehistoric landscape. Apart from the local Kija Aboriginal community, few people knew they existed until the 1980s. Discover a world of secrets in Australia's far north-westThe giant orange and black striped domes rise out of the ground creating a bewildering landscape unlike anything you have ever seen. One of the best ways to appreciate the scale of this natural wonder is on a scenic flight. As you sweep over the range, the intricate maze of tiger-striped domes reveal a hidden world of narrow, sheer-sided gorges lined with majestic palms and seasonal waterfalls and calm pools. According to Aboriginal Dreamtime legends, the amazing beehive-like domes that form the Bungle Ranges were created by the Rainbow Serpent as she slithered across the landscape. Aboriginal people have used the area for their sacred rituals for around 20 000 years. A walk with an Aboriginal guide brings the natural history of the range to life.

By Brian Liskai(Attica, OH) The O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars will kick off the northern part of their schedule during the always-anticipated HD Supply Spring Nationals at Attica Raceway Park on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10."Ohio's Finest Racing" speedplant kicked off its 2010 schedule in impressive style Friday, April 2, with a standing-room-only crowd witnessing fantastic racing, setting the stage for the weekend doubleheader.Attica's Spring Nationals' win list reads like a "who's who" of sprint car racing. Current NASCAR Sprint Cup Crew Chief Frank Kerr, three-time All Star Champion Dale Blaney and two-time All Star Champion Greg Wilson each have three wins during the nationals. Mark Keegan, a 12-time Attica champion, has two Nationals wins, as does four-time All Star Champion Chad Kemenah, Danny Smith and Jeff Shepard. Other National winners include Joey Saldana, Danny Smith, Gary Wright, Butch Schroeder, Bobby Teeple, Kenny Jacobs, Craig Dollansky, Byron Reed, Stevie Smith, Lance Dewease, Terry McCarl and Brock Mayes.Last year, after having the first night of the Nationals washed out, the fans were treated to a dandy! Early in the race, Shaffer and Rob Chaney would fight for the lead. Starting from the 16th spot, it was Blaney who was on the move. By the halfway point of the race, he had charged into the top five. With race-leader Shaffer stuck in lapped traffic, Blaney would pick off position after position until he had caught Shaffer. Coming to the white flag, Blaney would duck under Shaffer in turn 4 to take the lead and would go onto the victory. Shaffer, Wilson, Kemenah and Lee Jacobs would round out the top five.Dewease leads the All Star point standings coming into the Nationals, with an 11-point lead over Daryn Pittman. Defending All Star Champion Tim Shaffer – fresh off his win at Attica on April 2 – sits third with Blaney and Wilson rounding out the top five. Cap Henry, who lives just 15 miles north of Attica Raceway Park , leads the All Star's Rookie of the Year battle by 108 points over Jared Ridge , and current sits 7th in the total point standings.
Besides the All Star contingent and the tough Attica regulars, up-and-coming star Jessica Zemken is expected to compete, piloting one of Tony Stewart's machines.Friday's program pays $3,000 to win for the All Star sprints with the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models also in competition, Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. with racing underway at 7:40 p.m. On Saturday, the All Star Sprints will battle for a $5,000 payday with the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints also in competition. Gates will open Saturday at 3:30 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m. Should weather force the cancellation of Friday's racing, the UMP late models will be added to Saturday's program for a three division night of racing.General admission tickets for Friday are $18 for adults; $15 for senior citizens, $10 for teens 11-15 years of age; and kids 10 and under are free. Pit passes are $30 each. Saturday's ticket prices are $22 for adults; $20 for senior citizens; $10 for teens 11-15 years of age; and kids 10 and under are free.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at IBM? What do you like best about working at IBM? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees? |
IBMer in Winchester, Massachusetts 96 months ago |
travel will depend on the specific job or department -- some job descriptions say 100% travel -- this really means the potential for 100% travel; some say 50% or 70% travel -- this really means the potential for 100% travel (not a typo) other potions are for a specific customer or ibm location, in a specific area -- travel is not requisite for these |
Jeff in Dallas in Denton, Texas 93 months ago |
I worked at IBM for several years in internal strategic sourcing. We were pressured to join the consulting arm -along with the 100% travel- with no pay increase. They don't pay market and will look to squeeze you whenever they get the chance, for the "privilege" of working at IBM. It's just another company now. |
Rich in Fishkill, New York 92 months ago |
Jimmy in San Antonio, Texas said: Check out www.allianceibm.org for information on salaries. Look in the Comments section. Band 6 is where most new college hires with a Bachelor's degree usually start. Band 7 is for Master's degree holders, and Band 8 for PhD. grads. Interesting. I was hired on as a band 6 with a Masters degree. I guess it depends on where you get hired on. Also, you can end up getting stuck in a spot, depending on your salary, where you will NEVER get a pay increase. IBM is a way to get your foot in a door now, but that is all. |
Manuella13 in Woking, United Kingdom 50 months ago |
@NotYouAvg Sounds brilliant.
Nice to know that not only my 15hrs a week of commuting (an IBM gift. Starts Monday.) are going to go to waste, but my career prospects and my savings as well... AND I'm going to have to write a braindead document with "excuses" for being promoted?!?! After THREE BLOODY YEARS of working hard???!?!
Murcielago in Indian Trail, North Carolina 44 months ago |
Im trying to get on with IBM in the RTP area of North Carolina, in a non graduate professional position. Im not quite sure how the process works ive been in the "Under Review" status for about four days now. Is that normal? How long can it take to transition foward? |

Personally I would like to see the following:
A break down of the astartes implants and an actual game function asigned to each one. A bit like the techpriest trait. More than simply 'unnatural strength and toughness'. Back when I playtested DH I created a list of the different organs and assigned them an ability on the assumption that a character started from a scout and moved up.
This is I feel an important aspect the RPG should address. Those implants are more than just a bonus to a stat, they are the reason a marine exists. They hold a holy reverance for them.
Reflection of indoctrination beyond just 'Mental Fortress' or 'Iron Discipline' talents. A marine's psychology is very specialised and also specific to their chapter. These I feel can be reflected in the rules of each character.
The other is individualisation of power armour. I would like to see power armour broken down into location with different marks offering different modifiers and upgrades. Ie a marine might be wearing Mk IV greaves, Mk VI pauldrons and Mk VII torso, arms and helmet.
Power armour is like a spiritual partner for a space marine, their other half. If a marine could be married to anything it would be their armour. They have an intimate knowledge of one another that produces a warrior greater than the sum of its parts. That reverence should be reflected in more detailed armour rules I feel.
Afterall, marines have a much narrow range of options than a normal human warrior so extra focus on specific important wargear items could go a long way to fill the deficit.
I can't imagine they won't have chapter traits as part of starting creation. It's an obvious choice. But the above are my biggest wants because to me those represent a space marine more completely than anything else. Not the gun, or the chainsword, but the implants armour and indoctrination.
So, what would you like to see in the Deathwatch book?

* Prices may differ from that shown
Having for a number of years been a well known credit card provider I decided to take out a card with Capital One which all went absolutely fine. Following on from this I decided to take a 2nd card which was on a different deal that suited me more. After a short time of my 2nd account being opened Capital One wrote to me and advised that I could put the 2 cards together on something called One Card and so I decided this would be a good idea and phoned their helpline to do this but was shocked to find the advisor repeating herself numerous times so I contacted them online to let them know and had an issue where they called my house to discuss the issue I experienced but when told I was not back until a set time they decided to call twice more before then. I advised I wasn''t impressed and left it at that.
When the transfer to One Card didn''t happen I contacted them again and was told it would not happen as I was originally told so I then trusted that the new advisor was correct in what they were telling me but when again this did not happen I was disgusted and raised a complaint and was told that I would receive a response within 2 weeks which failed to happen.
Yet again I contacted them and raised this and ended up dealing with their executives office who apologised and confirmed that 2 advisors have given incorrect information and that compensation would be given for this but even the compensation when given was done poorly due to lack of correct and clear communication leading to me having to go out of my way to sort out issues caused by their mistakes.
Overall this has been a very bad experience and so I have to warn people that when dealing with this company it is worth keeping clear records of all communication and maybe like me doing the communication via the secure message system on their website to enable you to keep track of what has been said and if it is done as promised.
This was my first credit card and I've had nothing but positive feedback!
When I need a few more weeks before I can pay for something, this card really helps, and I always pay it off in full the next month. I wouldn't use it for big purchases that I don't intend to pay off right away because the interest rate is something crazy like 39%. When I pay the full amount off each month I'm not charged anything!
I love the online account access, which is really useful: it shows me clearly my current statement and recent purchases, allows me to pay my account online (there is an option to pay full amount, minimum payment required or an amount of your choosing) and is safe and secure.
You can take out cash on this card from an ATM but it will charge you either £3 or 3% of the transaction. This is really handy when you need extra cash in a hurry!
There aren't any negatives to this card that I've experienced so far, I would recommend it for someone who won't over spend and will pay the full amount off each month. It's also a great way to build up a credit rating
I've been a customer of Capital one for almost ten years now. I must say that they're a great credit card company. I have a total of more than 5 credit cards with them for the time that I was with them and currently still with them. I love their services and credit. I find them to be the premier credit card company for students or those who want to start to establish their credit. They're a site that offer credits to those with starting out credit rating and poor credit rating or students or anyone who hope to get a personal loan or some banking without such excellent credit rating. I guess they can give you an extra boost and that's why I like them because I started having credit with them as a student when I was trying to establish my credit and I like how they gave me a chance to build my credit. My entire family has Capital one credit cards and we all love them. We've been with them for so long and have never had any problems at all. They have excellent customer service, fraud protection, credit offers and many merchants accept them. I will always be a capital one consumer. I find them trustworthy to do business with and would recommend anyone to start banking or getting credit with them. They give beginner a new start or a chance to get some awesome credit. I have their cash reward cards and I love the extra cash back every month. I usually get around thirty dollars back each month and I love that. I put everything on my reward card with capital one. I love such a card. I'm a very satisfied customer and would continue to do business with them.
Capital One credit card was the second credit card that I took out, the reason for taking the credit card out was because I found the cashback element appealing. The credit criteria only require a low income (cannot remember exactly how much now) which was ideal as I was a student and working part time for minimum wage.
The main advantage is I get cashback added to me account in January every year from the money that I have spent in the previous 12 months. As I have the direct debit set to pay the balance off in full each month, I never have any problems with incurring interest etc.
Secondly, the online banking facility is easy to use. I can quickly go online and check my balance within the space of a minute. However as with most online banking facilities, purchasing made outside of the 9-5 working day are often not updated until the following day.
The main disadvantage is that this card only has £200 credit limit and the 6 monthly credit limit reviews are non-existent. I have had this card for 3 years and have yet to have the credit limit increased despite having a higher paying job now and being eligible for high credit limits on other cards.
The main annoyance is that you are not allowed to ask them to increase your credit limit as with every other credit card company in the country. Even if you spend £150-£200 of the credit limit on a regular monthly basis, this does not encourage them to increase your credit limit come the next review.
This credit card is what I refer to as my "computer desk credit card" for all those internet purchases, as I can check how much credit I have left. I do not dare take it out the house, as I could easily max out this card within a matter of hours .... I bought a vacuum cleaner the other day worth more than the credit limit on this card.
After reading other reviews, I agree with everyone that Capital One need to improve their customer service, I do not believe asking for a credit limit increase is an unreasonable request (not saying everyone should get one regardless of their credit score, but everyone should have the right to ask if they are eligible).
After being Capital One customers for several years now, we've recently fallen into financial difficulties and missed a couple of payments for the first time. We have several creditors who've been hounding us with repeat phone-calls - but I have to say that Capital One have been the best of the bunch. Their support and customer service has been outstanding. They provided great advice, and have been overwhelmingly considerate and understanding in their approach. They were extremely sympathetic to our difficult circumstances, and reassured us that we're going to get through this, and affirmed their commitment to do everything they can to help and support us. Yes, we've been paying a whopping rate of interest to Capital One for several years now...but based on the incredible level of service and support we've just received, it all seems worth it. I've always said that the real measure of a good company is how they respond when it comes to the crunch and something's gone wrong. Well after our recent experience, Capital One have literally leapt forward in my estimation and respect. Thank you Capital One for your sensitivity and support - your handling of a difficult situation has been a welcome and wonderful surprise during a particularly distressing period of our lives.
I've been a loyal customer of Capital One for around 15 yrs and for that loyalty Capital One increased my interest rate to almost 35%!!!
I questioned why and was fobbed of with a generic answer so i asked why i had such a high rate when my house mate applied for a card with them, just 12 months after getting a CCJ and has an interest rate almost half that of mine - again a generic response along the lines of we can't discuss another account...
I then went to the CEO of Capital One to ask why they were treating me in this way and yet again i received a generic get lost response from their executive office - as the CEO can't even be bothered to look at my complaint personally.
All in all Capital One seem to favor people with bad debt or poor credit history offering them preferential interest rates and sting there long term loyal customers to cover the risk.
Staying loyal to this company means nothing and as with other reviewers i have to agree that their customer service is diabolical,
If you have a poor history then maybe they are for you but once they class you as a loyal customer expect to be stung and stung hard
My account will be closed by the end of this month and i WILL NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND Capital One to anyone.
Capital One was the first credit cards I was ever issued back over 10 years ago and for the longest time I really enjoyed using them, despite the fact I was paying a $60 annual fee for the card.
The customer service was good and I was getting rewards on my purchases and everything seemed great.
About three years ago I had stopped using my Capital One card almost entirely and since I was not charging anything I didn't check my account. They ended up charging me my $60 annual fee, which I wasn't aware of until 1-2 months later and ended up charging me a $39 late fee plus charged interest on my balance so I ended up paying over $100 for that. Of course they were completely unwilling to work with me on the fees, which I think is completely immoral, but that is business I suppose.
To top it off, they ended up noting that on my credit report and were unwilling to take it off so I am still showing a delinquent payment history on my credit report from over 3 years ago.
I should have closed my account at that point but I was on hard times and needed a credit line in case of emergencies so I kept it open.
About 1.5 years ago, they ended up shutting off the rewards program with my card without notifying me and I just lost all the points I had not redeemed.
I had finally had enough so I called them and asked if they would take off my $60 annual fee for the card since I was a customer for 10+ years and was in good standing and they weren't willing to do so, so I closed my account finally.
It's my own fault and stupidity that I continued to give this company so much of my own hard earned money, but hopefully you won't make the same mistake as me.
There are plenty of better opportunities out there so stay clear of Capital One!
ok so i've had credit for insurance,mobile phones etc but had problems getting a credit card because i've moved around a bit, was recently accepted by CapOne for their Progress card. All-be-it a poxy £300 limit its good to see that theres now ways for us to get a foot on the ladder again. Yes their call centres are foreign and very scripted but in their defense,many credit cards and utilities are these days. Also to those that are slagging them off for treating you "poorly" when you have missed two or three consecutive payments, i work in debt reecovery and im sorry but you're going to have to go through the exact same thing with almost any credit card company,its called defaulting a legal credit agreement!! The only difference is how the company manage and assist you throughout that process.
You would be quick to slate them for not keeping up an offer or term in the contract, but then have a moan when they do.
End of the day if you have a slightly down and out credit rating and want to build it, the Progress card is a sure-fire way of doing that as long as you manage it correctly and if possible keep the balance clear to avoid the very high APR to start and the still slightly high APR later on down the line. Plus, free equifax reports and Fraud services that are spoken pretty highly of by many professionals.
I have a fabulous credit score because I have my credit cards (as few as possible) paid automatically out of my bank account every month. I paid off my mortgage and paid cash for my used car. You can hate me. I have a $46,000 credit limit on my Mileage Plus card which I did use when I paid for my wedding but paid off immediately. I am not young. I live overseas and wanted a card that didn't charge a foreign transaction fee so I got this card. They gave me a---$1000 credit limit. A friend who got one for his daughter on a semester abroad got a $500 credit limit! I whined and got it raised to $1500. I can't even buy an airline ticket in this country with this card. I'm applying for a Chase British Airways card where I assume since I already have a Chase card, I will get a higher credit limit. I keep having to pay off the card every two weeks to keep the balance within the limit. As soon as I get the other card and hopefully it has a higher credit limit, I'm canceling Capital One.
I took out a Capital One card a year ago when I was working full time since then I have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, I called their "customer call centre" like others I could not understand a word that was said and the repeated scripted answers nearly drove me insane!!! I have been advised to send in and income and expenditure form which I did but it came back with the comments not enough detail, in the last 4 days I have received 25 calls demanding payment, But today I lost it with them and demanded to speak to their manager or complaints team I was given a tel no to call only to get through to the same advisor I eventually got the correct address in Nottingham and have written to them today..DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS SHAMBOLIC COMPANY THEY WILL HARRASS YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE DYING! THEY WOULD GET A MINUS STAR FROM ME
Quick Intro: I consider my credit rating to be 'poor', it's not that I have a history of bad credit, it's that I have no history of credit, especially at my current address.
Based on my circumstances I researched cards likely to accept me and like many others I was quickly directed to the 'capital one classic' card. It's main disadvantage is pretty obvious, 35%+ APR but I can honestly say I haven't found much to complain about since.
Signing up was painless, the PREVIOUS DAY I was rejected by the notoriously descriminate sainsburys credit card so I wasn't very hopeful but after completing a painless form I was accepted! With a four figure credit limit to boot. Virtually immediately I started to receive emails, not spam but a login for online banking! Within an hour I was into the online banking setting up a direct debit! I was very impressed with the whole process.
The card & pin arrived prompty, the pin was easily readable and the card looks like it could take a beating.
Activating the card was quick and easy, just involves saying 'NO' to PPI :)
So far everything is dandy, I will update this review with any problems I encounter.
CAPITAL ONE ARE A COMPLETE JOKE and a company that really needs to sort it self out. I would highly reccommend that people looking for a card go elsewhere. I have spent 2 days of heartache and tears trying to clear my new husbands bill. They made this very hard and the process sucks. there attitude which is stated from a person we spoke to at capital one that they dont send you details etc to ask for payment but will leave it to mount up on interest then slap you with a bill 20 years on when you owe thousands. PLEASE THINK HARD BEFORE USING THEM I REALLY ADVISE YOU NOT TOO!!!!
I'm not even a customer of Capital One, and over the last week I have been receiving 4 or 5 nuisance telephone calls from them. They ignore all attempts to stop them. If you are thinking of using Capital One I would suggest that you look elsewhere, they obviously have no idea about privacy and from my experience they will ignore any attempt you make at stopping their unwanted calls. I repeat do not trust Capital One, for me they have proven themselves completely untrustworthy.
Capital One are complete rip off merchants, they vary the payment date of your monthly statement depending on how many days in the month there is? They have charged me a late payment fee on several occasions when I have paid 20 days in advance of the due date!!!! I have tried to call but it takes at least 15 mins to get through to someone who does not understand what I am saying. I have looked online and Capital One are being sued in America for making incorrect charges to clients and making fake offers to increase the interest rates. DONT GO THERE THEM!!!

Get Ready in 5 Minutes or Less!
I have a penchant for the yuppie coffee shop that's eight blocks from my apartment, enough to spend thirteen minutes walking there and back on many weekday mornings. (They draw leaves in cappucino foam which make me feel fancy, like Gwyneth Paltrow caffeinating—that is, if she drank anything other than green tea.)
I can afford to slice off that chunk of my morning because I'm a uniform dresser: blazer, top, slim pants, brogues or heels, done. But even if I weren't, I could still get out the door enviously fast thanks to these time-skimming strategies. I use them when I've worn my uniform staples too much, feel like I'm starting from wardrobe scratch and (more importantly) should've been out the door seven minutes ago. You can use them too, and if you show up to work late, it'll be because of your commute or your coffee, not because of the time spent in your closet.

Like most native-born Virginians, I grew up with an ancestral portrait on the wall. The original was said to hang in a museum in Richmond, so ours was a faded black-and-white photocopy mounted in a dime-store frame. It showed a mustachioed English dandy, black curls falling luxuriantly past his shoulders, lace collar spread grandly across his chest, staring into the Xerox machine with an air of courtly insouciance: my mother's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, loyal supporter of Charles I, forced into exile after the beheading of his monarch and newly arrived in Virginia with a retinue of servants and of cattle in the year 1649. We called him the Cavalier.
Today's Cavaliers are a football team (the University of Virginia's), but the kind I grew up with—dashing, heroic, extinct—are as essential to the Virginia myth as ever. During the Revolutionary period, the idea of the English country squire in the New World yielded Washington and Jefferson and their compatriots; less than a century later, the same concept found full flower in the gallantry of Robert E. Lee. Over the years, the legend of the Lost Cause has covered the Virginia landscape with a patina of regret that no amount of suburbanization seems able to erase. Seen through this gauze, the past becomes a haze of white columns and red brick peopled with valorous aristocrats on horseback. But the story is more complicated than that. And since the past is what you're here to find, it's a good idea to know what you're looking for.
What made the Virginia aristocrats great—distinguishing them from, say, the plutocrats of the Gilded Age—was the earnestness with which they took on "the burden of government and public responsibility," as historian Daniel Boorstin put it. But something changed between the Revolution and the Civil War, as the utopian ideal of pure reason gave way to Romantic notions of chivalry—notions that masked the economic imperatives of a 19th-century slaveholding society.
To understand why this happened, start your visit at Arlington House, Lee's grandly porticoed mansion overlooking Washington, D.C. The lawns have been covered with graves ever since Lee left to command a Confederate army and Union authorities started burying their dead there: in Virginia, all time can be measured from this spot. Work your way down the Potomac to Mount Vernon and Gunston Hall and Stratford Hall, plantations of the gentry who created the new republic. Go to Williamsburg, the colonial capital where they forged the ideas that would be realized in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Visit Monticello and walk the grounds of the University of Virginia to experience the perfect geometries of the Enlightenment, which Jefferson the architect rendered in brick as expertly as he did in government. Visit Richmond to see the shrines of the Confederacy and taste the ashes of defeat.
Of course, if you want tour buses and T-shirted tourists snapping photos in Historyland before hitting the theme-park rides, you won't be hard put to find them. But that is not Virginia. Virginia is an ancient place where nothing is far from the soil. It is the impossibly broad rivers of the Tidewater, rising and falling with the moon. It is the red clay of the Piedmont, where Jefferson the country gentleman trod the Newtonian frontier. It is a formal garden at twilight, boxwood perfuming the air with the scent of decay. Breathe deep, and you too can taste the faded glories of cavalierdom.
Grand Hotels and Resorts
The Jefferson Franklin and Adams Sts., Richmond; 800/424-8014 or 804/788-8000, fax 804/225-0334; doubles $155-$225. In 1895, 30 years after the firestorm that consumed Richmond as the Confederacy fell, Carr¶re & Hastings gave the city a magnificent Beaux-Arts pile that over the past decade has been splendidly restored to its crypto-Roman excess. No, the staircase was not used in Gone with the Wind, but alligators did once inhabit the pools in the Palm Court, and Scott and Zelda once cavorted here. Upstairs you'll find all the luxuries you'd expect—but the place to be is amid the marble columns of the Rotunda, sipping Manhattans in a club chair while the world revolves around you.
The Homestead Hwy. 220, Hot Springs; 800/838-1766 or 540/839-1766, fax 540/839-7670; doubles $117-$480 per person, including breakfast and dinner. Virginia's premier resort may look like a turn-of-the-century Georgian Revival spa on the model of Baden-Baden, but it's really the Jefferson transplanted to a 15,000-acre forest in the Allegheny highlands. In its heyday the Homestead drew Rockefellers and Vanderbilts; as it nears the end of a long-overdue renovation, you can see why. Besides golf (three courses, one designed by Robert Trent Jones), the Homestead offers tennis, hiking, skiing, skating, horseback riding, skeet shooting, trout fishing, carriage rides, mineral baths, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a 1930's movie theater, afternoon tea, and five-course dinners with an orchestra in the formal dining room. You can also drive up the road to the village of Warm Springs, where the hotel maintains two 98-degree soaking pools whose rustic enclosures date from the Jeffersonian era. After that, you'll probably just want to sit on the veranda and rock.
Williamsburg Inn137 Francis St., Williamsburg; 800/447-8679 or 804/221-8840; doubles $235-$340. Sometime after John D. Rockefeller Jr. was persuaded to undertake the restoration of Virginia's colonial capital, he realized visitors would need a place to stay. The result is a formal yet intimate hotel that delivers Southern hospitality as only a Rockefeller could envision it. Some of the rooms may be a little dowdy and small, but everything else about the place murmurs comfort and reassurance, from the view of the bowling green as you take tea in the East Lounge to the 1930's Regency Revival decor (which comes as a relief after the relentless Georgianism of Colonial Williamsburg itself). Don't forget to pack a suit if you want to join the Daddy Warbucks types sipping lobster bisque in the dining room.
Tides Inn King Carter Dr., Irvington; 800/843-3746 or 804/438-5000; doubles $137-$154 per person, including breakfast and dinner. You've toured Williamsburg and Monticello, you've driven the crest of the Blue Ridge, you've seen the monuments and the battlefields. You think you know Virginia. You don't—not until you've been to the Tides, a time-capsule resort on a broad inlet just upriver from the Chesapeake Bay. This is the kind of place you didn't think existed anymore, a rambling brick-and-clapboard resort where couples from Richmond or Norfolk or some plantation in between dance the fox-trot as moonlight slants in off the water. During the day there's golf and tennis and a saltwater swimming pool, plus charter boats for fishing and cruises on a vintage yacht. At first you think it's mainly for the older crowd, but then it hits you: you're going to grow old too. And you can hardly wait.
Small Hotels and Country Inns
Morrison House 116 S. Alfred St., Alexandria; 800/367-0800 or 703/838-8000; doubles $150-$295. This small, refined hotel on a quiet side street in Alexandria's 18th-century Old Town is just downriver from Washington and convenient to Arlington House and Mount Vernon.
Linden Row Inn 100 E. Franklin St., Richmond; 800/348-7424 or 804/783-7000, fax 804/648-7504; doubles $99-$119. Seven Greek Revival town houses on the edge of downtown Richmond, artfully combined and finished in just the right shade of faded mulberry. Downstairs is a courtyard garden that may or may not have inspired Poe.
Red Fox Inn 2 E. Washington St., Middleburg; 800/223-1728 or 540/687-6301, fax 540/687-6187; doubles $135-$155, including continental breakfast. The ur-hunt country inn in the ur-hunt country village: cozy rooms furnished with hooked rugs and wing chairs in an 18th-century fieldstone tavern, with a kitchen that's justifiably famous for its crab cakes.
Inn at Little Washington Middle and Main Sts., Washington; 540/675-3800; doubles $250-$390, including continental breakfast. In a sleepy village some 70 miles west of D.C., Reinhardt Lynch has created the ultimate romantic hideaway, a luxurious cocoon that surrounds a small, secret garden. Does the outside world still exist?Do we care?
Conyers House 3131 Slate Mills Rd., Sperryville; 540/987-8025, fax 540/987-8709; doubles $135-$200, including breakfast. A rustic 18th-century inn where the hunt country gives way to the Blue Ridge. Comfort sometimes yields to character here: the floors creak and the doors may jam, but the hospitality is as genuine as the English tack set out on the porch ($40 a person for a two-hour guided horseback ride).
Clifton 1296 Clifton Inn Dr., Charlottesville; 804/971-1800, fax 804/971-7098; doubles $150-$265, including breakfast. This 1799 house built by Jefferson's son-in-law is now a smoothly run inn set in a secluded woodland, with croquet on the lawn, tennis courts out back, and a private lake down the hill. The rooms—especially the white-and-chintz ones in the carriage house—have a cozy, romantic feel that will make you want to put a match to the logs in the fireplace and keep the shutters drawn until noon.
Sampson Eagon Inn 238 E. Beverley St., Staunton; 800/597-9722 or 540/886-8200; doubles $85. Despite its natural beauty, the Shenandoah Valley has a dearth of first-rate places to stay. Fortunately there's the Sampson Eagon Inn, a marvelously restored 1840's mansion in Staunton's leafy Gospel Hill district, just down the street from the Presbyterian manse where Woodrow Wilson was born.

Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards, and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: what if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use.
Wozniak's life before and after Apple is a "home-brew" mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution.
©2006 Steve Wozniak; (P)2006 Tantor Media, Inc.
"Best of the Best"
iWoz is one of my favorite audible books of all time (on par with "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"). Its very inspiring. I wish I could have listened to this 15 years ago while I was taking computer architecture and digital logic in college. Its nice to know about the people actually inventing and really doing the stuff you read about in textbooks.
"Not Another Apple History!"
If you are looking for a blow by blow history of Apple this is not it, which is refreshing. This book focuses on Steve Wozniak's life and what motivated him to design the first personal computer, the path that led him to that point and the path he took from that point. Steve Jobs is mentioned in the book but only sparingly where it contributes to Wozniak's narrative. Of course the book focuses on Steve's engineering life but also focuses on his relationships with his father, wives and children. Overall a very well rounded account of Steve's life and is a must read for any Apple fan, especially as a foil to the books on Steve Jobs.
"quite a story"
If everything I read in iWoz is true, the "other" Steve played a vital role in the development of personal computing. Clearly, the book gives Woz an opportunity to set the record straight on what he believes are inaccuracies told in other books about Apple. The story is also a great example of the value of team work, and the benefits of surrounding yourself with talented people.
"iWoz you to read this book!"
If you love Apple, engineering, technology, history, or a wonderful story - you will love this book. It offers great insight into how the Apple I and II came about - including all the inventions, designs, and experiences that lead up to these moments.
I enjoyed the book immensely and is a must for anyone who owned an Apple II and/or grew up during the early days of personal computers. It really brought back some memories.
Woz should be looked at as one of the top inventor / engineers of the 20th century. He truly was brilliant when it came to implementing elegant designs. Hats off to a man who appears to have lived his life his way!
This is a very entertaining book and found it well paced. Actually had a couple of parts that had me laughing or at least grinning. The couple of slow pieces are understandable given it is a true story.
If you ever remember having problems with OS7/8 ? the book contains the answer? not surprising who?s product caused the issue (even when it was not running).
"I'm not bragging"
I watched Steve on Dancing with the Stars (don't tell my friends I watch this show) and thought he was a very likeable character. So when I saw his book on Aduible, I purchased it. I only made it about half way through the book. Even though there are a lot of interesting facts in it and even though Steve kept saying he wasn't bragging, I couldn't listen any more. As I said I enjoyed him on DWTS so I listened as long as I could. However, after he said "I" and "me" for the ten thousandth time I gave up.
"Geek porn"
This book with its seemingly endless descriptions of RAM, ROM, breadboards and soldering of circuitry appealed to my inner nerd. Woz seems like a very interesting guy. And while this book does not really tell the entire story of Apple, it does shed important light on the life of the lesser-known Steve, and provide some facts to counter some of the rumors surrounding the creation of the personal computer. I listened to this book at double speed, which made the experience extra frenetic and quirky.
"Very Disappointed"
My disappointed is directed mostly toward the author for doing a poor job in developing anything of real substance from interviews with Wozniak.
It is almost as if she let Steve ramble on about anything that came to mind and then transcribed it , word for word, into a book.
Very little structure, very little probing into what must have been a very complex relationship with Steve Jobs.
In some places it felt as if she must be getting paid by the word. It was maddening to hear Steve recount something by repeating the same thought four or five times.
Based on what impression of "The Woz" comes through, that of an egocentric genius, with many childish qualities, I don't doubt for a minute that these ramblings came straight from his mouth.
However, I would have preferred that the author use some skill in editing, or simply recorded the discussion and published it in Q and A form.
This is the first negative review I have ever posted. I really wanted to like this book....just didn't happen.
"Narrator not up to par"
I thought at first I had downloaded a young adult or younger book. Lawlor sounded like he was reading to children. His tone was patronizing at best, ineffective at least. Perhaps he was trying to set the pitch to his estimation of author's own voice. Made it hard to stick with the book.
For the most part.
I agree with other reviewers - Woz has an ego the size of Alaska, and some of the extended/protracted descriptions of technology were out of my field of interest. His penchant for pranks and particularly the lengthy description of the remote control prank wore thin. But there was still enough I liked learning to justify the credit. Would have been much easier with a different narrator, though.
"Somewhat Technical."
This book is written to aspiring engineers and has a great deal of detail about circuits created by Mr. Wozniak. The book goes into great detail about how he designed circuits for the Apple and other things. I did not know he invented SuperBreakout for Atari. I wish I had a little more education on basic electronics so I could have enjoyed the technical parts of the book. The early years at HP take up a good part of the book. Mr. Jobs is treated generally well in the book except for a time where he cheated Mr. Wozniak out of some money from Atari. Mr. Wozniak makes some references at the end to Apples Rebirth but did not seem to be involved. If you like very tech stuff then you will like this book. The book is written in naive style that lets the reader draw their own conclusion about the characters described. His former spouses are described in such a way that the reader can infer their character flaws. I would think that Mr. Wozniak would not be happy with me taking some of the stories at more than face value. Remember to read or listen between the lines.
"Simple Genius"
Steve Wozniak isn't a complicated man, as he'll tell you in this book. But through his genius, a ton of things we take for granted were his ideas. This is a great listen if you want to take yourself back to a time before the internet, the proliferation of personal computers and technology.
The Plus's: He really does a good job of re-creating a sense of wonder he felt as he designed the first modern personal computer. His positive attitude permeates the entire recording.
The Minus's: Lot's of engineer-speak. He does ramble on about the counter-culture of the sixties & the anti-governmental ideas. And there isn't very much about Apple Computers or Steve Jobbs here. You have to get half-way through it before he even gets to Apple.
All in all, a good read, but I would have liked a little more information about the early Apple years.

About me and my passion for cars
Well, ive always had a passion for cars, classic cars. This truck was my grandpa's who bought it brand new for $11,000 in 1984, it was kept in the garage for a majority of its life until he died and it was handed down to my dad, and sat in his driveway for 9 years. When I was medically discharged from the US Army for injuring my back last Feb my dad presented me with this truck, which had a huge impact on me considering me and my grandpa were very close and he tought me how to drive in this truck when I was 12. It took me about a year to restore it to where it is now and I still feel that theres much to be done, but i think think its one of the better looking 84 GMC's driving on the road where I live. Now me and my 2 daughters can enjoy riding around in this truck the same way me and my grandpa did.
Since I dont have internet at home anymore I have to use my smart phone so I can't upload more photos to my page. But since then I've put on a B&M stage 2 shift kit, dash mounted tach,undercoating, rear end an engine paint and 5% tint on all windows, Edelbrock RPM Manifold, steel braided lines, 13inch Edelbrock Air Cleaner, and a Spectre Air Filter, chrome pulleys, and aluminum radiator.

"After reviewing the district's proposed desegregation plan, the government's objections, the district's response, and the government's reply brief, as well as all supporting documentation, the court determines that a hearing is appropriate in this matter," Davidson wrote in his order.
The hearing will be heard at the United States Courthouse in Oxford.
This case began on July 24, 1965, when numerous individual plaintiffs sued the Bolivar County Board of Education, including the Cleveland School District, which was known at the time as Bolivar County School District Number 4. The plaintiffs argued that the board had white-only and black-only schools.
In 1965, Judge Claude Feemster Clayton ordered the board of education to submit its first plan of desegregation and then in the 1967-1968 school year Clayton ordered the board to desegregate faculty.
Judge William C. Keady was assigned the case on Sept. 9, 1968. Adding more confusion to the situation, Keady ordered that by the 1970-1971 school year students would be assigned to attend a particular school in the district based on the zone of residence that the student lived within.
In his signed order Keady wrote, "the district should employ or assign not less than one of six classroom teachers of a different race … in each of its schools."
The district has been under the supervision and jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi since 1965.
In 1989 the U.S. Department of Justice stepped in and requested that the court allow the government to intervene in this lawsuit as a Plaintiff-Intervenor.
The government alleged that the Cleveland School District operated a racially dual system of public education in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In 1992 the district and government agreed that a magnet school program should be implemented at the junior high level to eliminate the "continuing racial identifiability of both Margaret Green Junior High and Eastwood Junior High (D.M. Smith)"
The district again received an order to submit a plan in 1995 to establish a high school level magnet program to "further desegregate both high schools.
The government then maintains that on Sept. 12, 2006, it initiated a periodic review of the Cleveland School District to assess whether the District was in compliance with the court's previous desegregation orders. As a result, the government conducted site visits in schools within the district from May 11-14, 2008. After the visits the government contended that the district was in violation of it desegregation obligations in the areas of student assignment and faculty assignment.
On Aug. 18, 2011, the district argued that the court should find the district in good faith compliance with prior desegregation orders and dismiss the government's motion for further relief.
In response to the district argument the court said that the district had made "remarkable" strides over the years and focused the attention on the desegregation of faculty at East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School.
On March 28, 2012, Davidson issued an order requiring the Cleveland School District to submit a proposed desegregation plan to further integrate East Side High School and D .M. Smith Middle School, and to achieve racial balance among the faculty at each of its schools by May 15, 2012.
The district filed its desegregation plan on May 15, 2012 and on August 30,2012, the Government filed objections to the portion of the proposed plan governing the integration of East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School.
On Oct. 3, the district filed its response to the Government's objections.
After seeking and obtaining leave of the court to do so, the government filed a reply brief in support of its objections to the district's proposed desegregation plan on Oct. 26.

Ford Mustang Electrical Problems
snowartist Posts: 4
bgray19792 Posts: 1Hey I have a 2006 Mustang that is having the same problem at the moment, the water leaks in and soaks the box and causes problems with the head lights. At first they would never shut off, and no when the defrost is turned on the high beams come on on their own. Have you had any luck fixing this problem?
yanlaf Posts: 2My batterie is charge ,car wont start all electrical dont work , when i put the key to on the car i can hear the fuel pump priming on the cluster only seat light and baterrie light comes on , all the fuses are good and with my test light connected to the ground baterrie all fuses have power . :sick:
mustang94 Posts: 2I have a ford mustang with a major electrical problem ever since I was cut off and rear ended a car knocking down my whole bumper, and messing up a headlight, I had them replaced and the bumper bent back up into place, and the passenger side window motor replaced. And now my car while driving over charges it self in surges, very high electrical surges making my heater and lights much stronger and cutting off my radio eventually blowing out my alternator and a 30 fuse, we have replaced both of those twice thinking it was the alternator but it must be something else. Also when I turn left or hit bumps my dome light flashes on. And there is air from my engine coming in through my defrost and below my dash while driving that smells like oil not radiator, and the vacuum hoses are all good.. Please help me with these mysteries..!!!! It's a 1994 GT FORD MUSTANG V8.

krp1413 Posts: 2I have had the same problem with my 07 mustang water starting leaking from under glove box/ SJB area since 2011. We have had major electrcal issues and my car will no longer start and have replaced two batteries in one year. My car is currently out of service and won't even turn over. What can I do to get Ford's attention in this matter , the local dealership wants us to pay for service. We do not have the funds to dish out on this vehicle that is not even paid off yet. Any ideas???
carvmann Posts: 3Check the passenger side floor to see if its damp. Chances are that your fuse box which is located on the wall between your windshield and passenger window is corroded. In addition check if your interior air filter looks wet/damp/moldy or dirty which indicates you had a leak. First part of the remedy is to remove the panels below your windshield wipers as the drai holes is probally block with debris. What happens next is this: Water fills up as it cant drain,then enters into your interior air filter box which in turn water drips or runs downwards the wall into your fuse box thus corroding the contacts. You now have 2 choices if this is the case,try to clean the contact points yourself with an extremely small brush as you have to scrape the corrosion off. Second choice is to find a repair clinic and replace the fuse box(most likely you'll have to do this) Cost of box and labor is about 700.00 Try a dealer and it may cost you about 2 grand. Do NOT let someone replace the fuse box under your hood,that is NOT where the problem is. Its going to be the fuse/brain box on the wall next to your passenger door. Good luck
krp1413 Posts: 2Thanks for the info. We pulled the carpet loose and our SJB has major corrosion. Since my leak started after my warranty was expired the dealership won't repair without us forking the bill. We cleaned the SJB and it did start but it is still having electrical shorts with radio and lights. I have recently contacted BBB to take this further since our car is under 7 years old and is considered a lemon because of major water damage. Even if we wanted to trade it in we couldn't because it reaks and major damagg has been done.
deakonavory Posts: 2I too have this same year and model and know very little about cars (though I am starting to learn). Recently I took my car through a car wash and after parking to vacuum it out, I noticed water leaking from under the glove box. Soon after that, later on that night, I started my car again and the clock/radio does not turn on. Does this sound like the electrical problems that everyone else is having? Where can I find more info on how to find the areas that need checked for water damage and corrosion? (I like to have visuals for anything 'under the hood'.)

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
