Now this Ninth Edition of Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry has been impr ...show moreoved in three important ways. First, discussions have been rewritten to enable students to more easily understand the mathematical concepts presented. Second, exercises have been added that require students to estimate, approximate, interpret a result, write a summary, create a model, explore, or find a generalization. Third, graphing calculators have been incorporated to a greater extent through the addition of examples and exercises as well as the inclusion of a cross-referenced appendix on the use of the TI-82/83.

President Signs Extension of EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program |
Last week, President Obama signed a bill extending for another three years the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The program allows foreign investors to invest $500,000 in an approved Regional Center in exchange for the grant of permanent residency to themselves and their family. Alternatively, they can invest $1,000,000 in their own business in the U.S. in exchange for permanent residency. In an age of large backlogs and wait times for permanent residency, the EB-5 Program has become a very popular way to move to the front of the visa line. For more information, contact Greg Berk.

Something feels different
- By Jimmy Bourbon
- 25 September, 2012
- 8 Comments
The Miami Dolphins have started the season off 1-2 this year, but something feels different about this team, compared to the product we have seen put on the field over the last decade. Even though the Phins still have a losing record, and this season appears to be on course for a rough ride, there is something oddly comforting about this team.
First off all this team has a lot of heart and a no quit attitude. They just seem more willing and capable to play the entire 60 minutes. Effort has not been the problem for this team so far this year. To be honest this team imploded for the last two minutes of the 1st half against the Texans, and the first two minutes of the second half against the Jets. Unfortunately, imploded is an understatement because in those 4 minutes, they have turned the ball over 5 times and yielded 28 points. If you remove this brief but colossal mental breakdown, then there is a good chance their record would be better than 1-2.
Also, besides a couple of coaching decisions here and there, I believe that the coaching staff has done an admirable job with what we have, and have installed a sense of confidence in the players and fan base. Over the last few years when the Dolphins were actually ahead in the ball game, Sparano used to go into lock down mode and ultimately allow the other teams to climb back into the game and eventually win the game. With Joe Philbin, this has not been an issue as of yet.
This might be a bold statement, but at the moment I think the Phins have one of the best rushing attacks in the league. Between the trio of Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas, and Lamar Miller, we have enough capable running backs to pound the ball all game every game. Then throw in a a bruising FB in Jorvorskie Lane, and there is no reason why this team can't lead the league in rushing. With such a stout rushing attack, I would like to see Mike Sherman use more play action later in the game to take advantage of when teams are crowding the box. Also a flea flicker here and there would be a welcomed addition to the conservative play calling.
The sports betting strategy is that this team is going to have a lot of ups and downs this year, concluding with a subpar record. At the moment the over/under for the Phins win total is a measly 6 1/2 games. If this team continues to play with the confidence and pride we have seen thus far, then the wise sports betting strategy is to not count the Dolphins out yet. The bottom line is, after a decade of aggravation, I feel like the tides are turning and my level of frustration while watching the Dolphins play, has greatly decreased since Philbin has taken over. Does the rest of the Phins news fans feel the same way about the direction of this team?
8 Comments
I agree there is a different feel this year. I feel hope and not fear. Stats don't show it but I would rather have Tannehill as our QB than Sanchez. With Tanne there is hope and I don't mean that maybe our back-up QB will step in and save us. If we can keep our D playing at this high a level for the next couple of years I believe our offense may be able to catch up in their ability to compete as well. @ more off seasons and we will be a feared stop on the way to the Play offs.
ya see….this is the type of thinking that happens when a team suffers a decade or more of losing seasons. And it infects fans and writers alike.
That is, any notion or sign of marginal improvement instills the element of irrational exhuberance. And thats a shame. It doesnt matter what is in the air, what it feels like, the hair on the back of your neck, or whatever mumbo jumbo you wish to use to describe a fleeting emotion.
The only thing that matters, is winning. And this, inspite of what may be, perhaps, and too early to speculate, of a more competent coaching staff, remains elusive to this franchise.
Yes, there were fewer questionable coaching decisions than years past, but it still cost this team the game.
Calling a rollout pass w a rookie that resulted in a pick 6 was a bad decision – period. If you have any doubts, see the result.
Not running the ball in OT when youve been running successfully all game long and having the Jets D on their heals and fatigued, was a stubborn mistake. Passing to Hartline vs Cromartie, twice in a row, was just bad play calling. See results.
And lastly, playing man to man D vs Holmes in OT, when all he did was torch our DB's, again was a bad call by Coyle. Jets werent running the ball, so base football dictates you protect against the big play, call a cover 2 doubling Holmes and tempting Jets to keep in on the ground playing into our strength, and us playing the odds in our favor. See result.
Those 3 coaching decisions cost the game, it wasnt the kick.
Rant over.
Can't quite agree with Phinfreak. I understand what you're saying; it seams we've been riding the waves of hope for so long. But a reasonable assessment of this team offers more legitimate hope than teams of the past three years.
We all realize we're not going to the playoffs this year, but Tannehill will improve and will be the QB we've been needing. Again, he won't get there this year, and maybe not the next, but he'll get there.
I agree with Jimmy about our running game, but I'll take it a step further: we don't just have one of the best rushing attacks, I'd say it's in the top two. We're statistically fourth, but if you take away yards by the QB, were #2 behind Kansas City, and that's after Jamaal Charles had a freakish day. But here's the kicker: we have one of the lowest rated QBs (a rookie), so teams can stack the box, yet we are still having great success.
Also, despite our poor statistical pass defense, we are legitimately #3 against the run, and we would be #2 were it not for playing that extra quarter against NY.
It's absolutely a different feel. From the way the coaches handle things to the mentality of the players. I think the biggest difference with this team is that I want to watch them play–they are developing a new identity.
I really have no idea how many games we will win this season. Overall, I like the coaching decisions and RT's potential. Why not be optimistic about this team's direction?

By Bret Bilbrey, University of Memphis Entrepreneurial Journalism Student.
What makes a good pitch? That is what many startup entrepreneurs had to figure out in the "Quick Pitch" contest at Everywhereelse.co 2013.
For Lou Griffith with iLocale, his strategy is to get the person he is pitching to think.
"You want to hit three or four key points in your pitch and then what I like to do is ask questions. That gets them thinking," said Griffith. "For instance, with iLocale, I might ask them: 'Do you have a hard time keeping track of your receipts? Wouldn't it be easier if you could track it on your phone?'"
Many entrepreneurs have their own style of pitching, complete with hooks, key phrases, and taglines. To capture investors' attention, Ben Wagner of LifeKraze, a social community that lets people post their accomplishments, starts his pitch with "We help people facilitate action." Richard Billup of Screwpulp, a self-publishing startup, captures investors with the line "Breaking into traditional publishing is like climbing Mount Everest… on roller skates."
It is important that your pitch be clear, concise, powerful, and visual.
"Be light on the details, that is what a flyer is for," Griffith said. "The pitch is to connect with the person and form a relationship."

Hi all,
My old HVAC system had died out. Please can you help me choosing the correct system. I live in NC where heating is generally needed for 3 winter months while cooling is needed over 5-6 summer months. Carrier Options: Pricing includes Duct transitions and connections to existing ductwork, gas piping as required, new equipment pad, new rain, shield and miscellaneous materials. 10 years compressor and parts guarantee; 1 year labor guarantee and 1 year preventative maintenance warranty; 2-5 year labor warranty is $367; 2-10 year labor warranty is 799.
Trane Options: Pricing includes reconnecting new unit to the existing ductwork, high-voltage wiring, low-voltage wiring and gas line, Installing carbon monoxide detector(s), as required; Installing digital, programmable thermostat; getting the work inspected by the Town; recommends installing a $400 "Aprilaire" high-efficiency air cleaner (Model#2210); 10 Year Extended Labor Warranty available through Trane. (Add $425.00); free one year labor warranty on installation only. All equipment and parts 10 year warranties as per the manufacturer.
Option SEER Dual fuel package Indoor Fan speed Model NO. Net price (after all rebates, tax credits etc.)
I feel option 8 of trane is the best bcaz high 16 SEER- has hybrid heat option and variabel speed and of course the right price. Do I really need the $400 aprilair air cleaner- what such a thing helps to do? Is trane a better brand then Carrier. We have good contarctors for both in our area though much more for TRANE.

Finnicky Before I answer, please tell me your electric rate and nat gas rate. I assume this is nat gas service, correct? You are replacing a three ton package system? All the systems quoted are three ton units? This is a primary home? Post back. IMO |

Yes- I am replacing an existing 3 ton 10 seer unit with another 3 ton unit- got a manual load calculation done and it came out at 3 tons. This is indeed our primary home and we try to be energy conscious as a family. In summer our thermostat stays at 78 during day and 82 at night. In winter 65 is highest we go to during the day and at night this is turned down to 61. The unit does not run all the times - only if we are at home. The natural gas rate in our region is $0.89/therm and electric rate is 10.53 cents/KWH. Our higher end gas bills are on average $ 150/ month for 2 coldest months per year. We have electricity bills around $225/month for 4 hottest summer months/year. Hope this helps. Thanks so much in advance for any input of yours. |
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Wed, Mar 28, 12 at 20:05
Your Carrier prices for dual fuel are way too high so that makes option 8 the best. I'm a little surprised how cheap option 8 is. Dual fuel is great and doesn't appear to be costing you anything. |
I have to agree with you david cary, I am surprised that option 8 is the least expensive. In my opnion Trane better than carrier and are more expensive Finnicky, Beside the brand, and if you have confident in the contractor, go for option 8. As for Aprilaire, GO FOR IT TOO. Aprilaire 2210 is one of the best filters out there. since you are replacing the system, now is the best time to get it. Good luck |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Thu, Mar 29, 12 at 7:27
Finnicky I generally agree with the remarks from the previous post. It should be noted that on a BTU basis, the operating cost between HP and nat gas is basically a wash. See below. Cost per 100,000 btu of useable heat Like the other posters, I am surprised about the price of the XL16c and I also prefer the Trane over the Carrier package units. I would recommend I would add the Ext warranty and a whole house air filter cabinet. Perhaps you might ask about the HW Mdl 200. If you have any hot/cold spots within home, now is the time to address. How many returns does your home have? You want to be certain they are sized correctly, located strategically for best airflow and overall comfort. IMO |
- Posted by finnickyaboutgreen (My Page) on Thu, Mar 29, 12 at 11:56
Thanks so much everyone for your inputs. I will ask as many questions, as suggested by you all, as I can to the contractor. The only confuson i still have is about the Aprilare and whole house filter cabinet- i am waiting on contractor's response to that partcular one. Thanks once again to you all- kind of reassures me that I am making the right choice. |

Delmarva Cat Connection
Facts about Farm Cat
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Unknown
- ID#: 4424914 Hair: Unknown
My name is Farm Cat!
Farm Cat's Info...
I am already spayed/neutered and up to date with shots.
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
If you are looking for barn cats, look no further! Delmarva Cat Connection has several cats in the Delmarva area who are looking for good farms, barns, or sheds to live out their lives. All the cats have been spayed or neutered, as well as given their rabies shots. There is a minimal adoption fee to cover some of the medical expenses.
Having a barn cat or cats will help keep down the rodent population. The cats will be helping the property owner, while the property owner provides the cats with a safe place to live. And, because these cats are already spayed/neutered, the property owner won't have to worry about endless litters of kittens appearing!
Interested farm or barn owners will agree to give them:
- Shelter in barns, buildings, or stables
- Daily food and water - cats cannot live on mousing alone
- Long-term veterinary care, as needed (they're neutered and vaccinated at adoption)
- A secure place to keep them for the first 2-3 weeks, while they acclimate to the barn. This can be a tack room, or any secure indoor enclosure that they cannot escape from.

Mission and Core Values
Our Mission:Completely loved by God, we live to love Him wholeheartedly, reaching out with gracious intention to all others, recreating in each other the character of Jesus Christ.
Completely loved by God, we live to love Him wholeheartedly,We believe that our relationship with God is initiated by Him and completely dependent on His Great love for us. So we live in wholehearted worship and obedience not in order to be loved by Him, but in response to His great love given to us. This love is most clearly seen in Jesus Christ.
...reaching out with gracious intention to all others,
We know that Jesus has called us to reach out with His love to those who don't know Him yet. Rather than trying to make people who are unfamiliar with church life struggle to understand any particular religious forms, we try to express biblical truths and God's love in ways that are easy for people to understand and grasp.
...recreating in each other the character of Jesus Christ
Jesus has given to his church the responsibility of helping his followers to learn how to live like He did in obedience to God's will and in full dependence on God. Ultimately, that means that we are to take on the character of Jesus Christ. We take this responsibility seriously and believe it will happen through committed study and application of God's word, the Bible, and by yielding to the Holy Spirit's power at work in and through each believer.
Our mission is lived out in these core values:
Hope for Healing
Obedient to God's Word
Praying Community
Energized by Giving
Creative in Worship
Everybody Serving
Nurturing Relationships
Taking God's Love to the World
Equipping the Generations

Woo hoo 5 o'clock is back home where she belongs. Glad you got it back. Next time go to a nice sedate store and buy your sister something "safe" |
Slow, I have a sister the same way... two other sisters totally appreciate my art though. The one who doesn't appreciate it thinks I'm silly and wasting time gluing stuff! She thinks I need to always have the paint brush in my hand, that I am wasting painting time....oh well, I enjoy life and love mosaicing. And, I love your piece, it is amazing!!!! |

Good for you for getting it back!! I have my toilet roll tower and mexican themed cross that DD doesn't want... |

you know...some people just plain and simple, don't get it! none of my 3 daughters like much of what I do... that doesn't just go for any art work I do.. they either roll their eyes, or ask why they didn't get a normal mom, or shake their head... ---------------------------------------------------------- the lines are there, because I had about 3 paragraphs, on a rant..but I deleted it all...lol you just have to know that it's a blessing to be of a certain mindset and right brained mentality. take one of the tests and I bet you 1,000 to 1, that the results will show you to be right brained.. anyone challenge this? I've gotta sign out here...I could go on a tangent and get myself in a pile of dog poop... Slow...your work is original in the very best of ways. |
Jeeze Louise~ain't that a kick in the pants. I'll bet that 5 o'clock is happy to be home w/her Ma where she is loved and appreciated & where we can gaze at her beauty once again too. |

LOLOLOLOLOL. I KNEW I'd get some comfort here. In fact I TOLD her so, that I have enough people who support and appreciate my efforts that I'm quite happy, and that satisfied w/the ones who love me. Thanks, y'all. You know - I looked at the picture after I posted it, and saw a whole 'nuther view. The mirror in her tummy almost looks like a giant mouth - yelling the words "five o'c....... Y'all make me laugh, especially you, STRAWBERRY! LOL. Gonna go take that test as soon as I get off the forum. Oh, BTW - CALAM - I LOVE both those pieces. Doesn't it feel good to have your stuff back? This is why I don't REALLY like selling - I like it too much. Happy w/my work - tra la la. |

Thank goodness she's home where she is loved. I think she is simply fabulous |

I have a short story to tell, about a crocheted afghan I made for my mom... it was my very first crochet large project.. I had to teach myself to crochet cuz it's hard for a right handed person to teach left handed..lol a mirror didn't help, either. the darned hook fell out of my hand a lot of times, before I connected with it.. well, it was/is still, an autumn colored thing, browns, rust, cream, greens and a verigated with the same colors.. it took me a long time to finish..at that time I had only 3 kids and one was a toddler. so, I gave it to her and she thought it was really nice.. nice as a novice could put out (she didn't say that, but I felt it..lol) next time I went to visit...there it was, all tucked into the couch.............for the dogs to sleep on. years later now, she's had a stroke, in a rehab place, she can't remember, can't hardly respond, can't do a thing for herself...sits in a wheel chair all day, except for physical therapy and I had that opportunity to gather those things from her house, remember that painted bathroom sink? |
- Posted by squirrellycanadian (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 09 at 11:48
Thank goodness she didn't send it off to a thrift store or something! Some people would rather give it away than give it back. I for one LOVE it!! It is so YOU and your wonderful creative style. So, does the Sis get anything mosaiced anymore, and IS there REALLY a shop called "Dressin Gaudy"?!! Tooooooo funny! |
- Posted by aka_strawberrygoat (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 09 at 13:36
we have a "Dumster Value" store, downtown Olympia.. prices range from $6 to $8, for select vintage, dated, fun, funky and sometimes irrational clothes.. faux furs are always available...lol I don't have any of those but sure would go there, if I decided to get into making stuffed teddy bears... and I would suppose there would be housewares, so mosaic trinkets would be available...now, I need to see it it's open on Sundays...I haven't been there for quite some time. furs could also go well, draped on corners of cushy chairs, or couches...lol |
Hope I won't offend anyone here, but this brought up a topic near and dear to my heart. My mother is a craftsperson who always has a project going. Her gifts to me are always these projects. Some of it I like, but mostly it doesn't fit my style, decor, etc. Also, I know that for my mother, the item was not made specifically for me, but rather because it was a project she wanted to do and she had to put it somewhere..."oh, I'll give it to J for her birthday, Christmas", etc. I have been bitten by the mosaic bug and have told her and my brother that I won't be giving anything mosaic to them as a gift unless they specifically ask me to make them something. Sorry, but I thought I'd chime in with the feelings of a giftee. Art is very personal and I think hard to receive as a gift IMHO. Judy |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Sun, Feb 15, 09 at 18:25
You are sooooo right JMCK. I told my daughter and granddaughter the same thing after my first gifts to them, that unless they asked, they'd get no more. Fortunately, they just keep on asking, and have said they never get enough. I try not to overload them. Each of my items is made especially for the person, so I personalize them. No offense whatsoever - I agree wholeheartedly. I just didn't realize that my sister w/be so harsh, since she is a very artistic person. I was waaaay to exuberant and excited in my early learning stages, and didn't THINK that she would object to the risque - her words - piece, and made the mistake that EVERYONE would just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my work. How foolish I was to be so naive. |
Well I am glad she's back in a loving home!!!! LOL and she is certainly been loved and admired online for a long while too! |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Mon, Feb 16, 09 at 20:18
You're such a doll baby, NT. |
I am glad she's home where she can be appreciated. She certainly makes me smile! I think most of us here would have given her a good home! |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 9:25
RCHOVEY: Yeah, we all have the same disease, don't we? She called last night to see how happy I was to have it back, and said she loves my home and everything in it, but that piece just wasn't for her. Well enough. Welcome Home, "Five....." |

- (2013-15)
Arrive in Toulouse
After your flight to Toulouse, you join your transfer by chartered bus (approx. 3/4 hours drive) to your hotel in Andorra. Situated high on the south side of the Pyrenees, squashed in between France and Spain, the Principality of Andorra measures a mere 25 kilometres by 30 kilometres (that's half the size of New York City!). The country's independence can be traced right back to Charlemagne, who captured the region from the Muslims in 803 AD and gave it to the people. Although it gained independence from France and Spain in 1278, it was only in 1993 that the Andorran people voted to establish the country as a parliamentary democracy. Interestingly, the country had two princes as its joint heads of state – one being the President of France, the other being the Bishop of Urgell, although all parliamentary power lies with the Prime minister. The national language is Catalan, but French and Spanish - and increasingly, English - are widely spoken. Andorra is blessed with some of the finest scenery in the Pyrenees and is a great place for an active week in the mountains.
Your base for the week is the small town of Soldeu (1800m) which is located in the centre of this tiny, land-locked country.
Hotel Roc San Miguel (AA) - 7 nights (B)
Today you head for the scenic Incles Valley - two minutes from the hotel - where your Group Leader will give a quick lesson on how to put on snowshoes. You then have time to get used to this new way of walking. It really isn't difficult at all and, although you might feel a little ungainly at first, you'll soon discover that you can climb even a fairly steep slope with ease. With snowshoes you can go almost anywhere - which means you can get to places that skiers cannot. You set off along a trail through the forest, marvelling at the peace and beauty of the snowy landscape. The group's ability will dictate how far you go and you'll can take provisions for a picnic in the forest.
You'll also have an opportunity to learn the technique used to locate and rescue avalanche victims (ARVA). Using a receiver you locate the signal from a transponder that anyone venturing into avalanche territory would normally wear. Having located the source of the signal, you then search the snow using poles to locate the victim. It's a bit like a sophisticated game of hide-and-seek, but it's a fun way of learning a skill that could one day be a life-saver! (BD)
Cross-Country Skiing
The forest of La Rabassa near the Spanish border is a chance to see a different area of Andorra, and is ideal for exploring and absorbing the stunning snow-clad landscape on cross-country skis. Longer, thinner and lighter than downhill skis, cross-country skis are designed more for practicality than speed. Only the toe of your boot is attached to a cross-country ski (unlike a downhill ski where the whole boot is rigidly attached), which makes for a very different style of skiing. Having the ability to flex the heel allows you to climb as well as descend, which means you can cross a greater variety of terrain. The pace is relaxed - you'll start on an easy circuit to get used to this new mode of transport. (BD)
Igloo Building & Optional Snowmobiling
After breakfast you transfer to El Tarter ski station (1700m), a ten minute drive away, to learn an interesting new skill - how to build an igloo! All that's required is a good supply of firm snow, a spade and a team of willing volunteers. Igloo building is great fun and kids will be thrilled to see how simple it is to make an icy shelter. Knowing how to create your own shelter in the mountains is a vital component of mountain survival.
In the afternoon, you have free time to choose what winter activity you would like to do (all at an additional charge). You could undergo a dramatic change of pace as you getting to grips with snowmobiling. A snowmobile (also known as a skidoo) is powered by a petrol engine that drives a single caterpillar track. Like a motorbike you steer using handlebars, these are connected to two parallel skis rather than a wheel. The brakes are on the handlebars, and you don't have to worry about gears - there's only forward and reverse. Large models with powerful engines can travel at over 100 kilometres per hour, but you'll be using smaller models and taking things a lot more gently! Driver and a pillion passenger sit on a motorbike-style seat, but - for safety - smaller children may be towed behind on a sled. Snowmobiles are simple to drive, but it's important to take care until you are used to the way they handle. You'll then drive on a circuit through the forest for up to an hour.
Alternatively, you can choose to perfect your snowhoeing skills, head back to the slopes to go skiing or snowboarding, go ice skating or take advantage of Andorra's tax free shopping! (BD)
NB: You must be over 17 to drive a snowmobile. You will be required to sign an agreement stating that, in the event of any damage to the vehicle due to carelessness, you will cover the total cost of the damage.
Downhill Skiing
This morning you can try out another age-old method of getting about in the snow - skiing (additional charge. Details of costs are listed in the optional activities section at the end of the trip notes). After heading up the Soldeu cable-car, you'll take a one hour lesson with a qualified instructor Once you've built up your confidence use your lift pass (included in the cost) to try your skills on the slopes in the Gran Valira ski area, one of the best skiing areas in Andorra. This is the highest and most extensive ski area in the Pyrenees encompassing the Soldeu-El Tarter and Pas de la Casa-Grau Roig ski resorts, so naturally there's an excellent choice of slopes - from nursery to off-piste steep runs. Your ski instructor or Group Leader can advise which ones are most suitable for your level of ability. Beginners may well start off on the quieter slopes at Canarro allowing you more space in which to get to grips with your technique. If you are an experienced skier, you can ski on the intermediate slopes. (BD)
Today you'll learn how to harness a team of dogs at the kennel and discover how a dog sled is handled. The dogs always get really excited as soon as they see the sleds coming out, and it's often a struggle to hold them back, so the sleds have a snow anchor just for that purpose. Each sled can carry two people plus a driver (or musher) - pulled by a team of 4-6 huskies or 8 Alaskans. It takes a while to get everything ready but eventually you set off on a forest trail. You will feel the dogs tugging hard at their harnesses before they break into a smooth rhythm. All you can hear are the runners of the sled fizzing over the frozen snow and the odd bark or yelp from the dogs. Just hold on tight and enjoy the passing scenery for around an hour! It is normally possible for children from about 8 years old to drive their own sled.
To minimise the amount of time waiting around the group will normally be divided for this activity and whilst not sledding you can hit the slopes for some more skiing (additional charge). If you are an experienced skier, you can ski on the intermediate slopes but will have to pay a supplement locally. (BD)
Free Day
Today you can choose from the many activities on offer in Andorra. You may wish to head back to the slopes for more downhill skiing (in which case you'll need to purchase a lift pass), or simply relax. You could take a bus into the capital, Andorra La Vella for some retails therapy. Andorra has no taxes and is thus the ultimate place to go tax-free shopping. Most towns have a variety of shops, but Andorra La Vella has by far the best selection.
In Escaldes-Engordagny you can visit Caldea thermal baths. The facilities are impressive - on three levels under a huge glass dome, there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, hot-tubs, jacuzzi, Turkish baths and even a grapefruit bath! A soak in the warm, mineral-laden thermal baths will help to ease away any aches and pains. Although not cheap, a general entry ticket allows you to pamper yourself for up to three hours. You can opt for one of the many additional treatments that include various styles of massage and hydrotherapy (at extra cost). The complex also has shops, restaurants, and a children's centre. In Encamp you may like to visit the National Automobile Museum which houses an impressive collection of cars and bicycles – one of the largest in Europe. You could also take a ride in the state-of-the-art Funicamp gondola, which runs from Encamp up to the station at Collada d'Enradort (2506m) from where you could ski down to Grau Roig (for experienced skiers only). If you're keen to try out a more active pursuit, you could go ice-skating in the Palau de Gel (ice stadium) in Canillo, or relax and watch some curling or ice-hockey. (BD)
Trip ends
Today, you transfer by bus (approx. 3/4 hours) to Toulouse where the trip ends. (B)

The building of the igloos was most entertaining but also educational. The dog sledding was exciting but it was the thrill of watching the children master the skis so quickly that was the best part of the whole holiday.

We have this problem for more than a week now, and there has been no reaction from Support , neither to emails or comments on the dev account.
I post here in hope someone will offer any sort of help.
There are two major problems I will address here:
1. For quite a few days, our Java game "Joyland Bounce" has gone missing from the Ovi Store webpage. It was there at launch, everything was fine for about a week, then it went away along with half the applications on the store ?!
The item can not be found any longer on Ovi Store (should have been Games/Arcade)
A search for this item, by name, will return no results if the user is not logged in.
If the user is logged in, the search by name will return the item but when trying to access it, the dreaded " Sorry, this item is no longer available. " message is displayed.
The correct, supported phone type is selected.
What is going on?
2. Soon after the store opened we realized that the Stream Icon and Promotional Images we submitted were not of proper quality so we decided to update them. Unlocked the content item / replaced the images with improved versions / locked the content item again, at which point it went again under review.
I personally made it clear at the time, by comment for the content item, that the builds were not changed! However, it seems that the QA people re-tested the same builds anyway. The same old builds that they had previously approved and which were clearly not changed.
During this review an error showed up on the Nokia 5300 ( "Application error" on launch). We are sure this was a mistake on the tester's part because:
a) They had previously approved the exact same build.
b) There is at least one case on the support forum of a developer complaining about the same issue of a non-existent error brought up by QA on the 5300.
c) The build works for us with no error and always has worked.
We have anyway removed the 5300 from the supported devices list, just to speed up the review.
Once more, I personally explained everything above in a comment for the content item.
It has been a long while and nothing else happened, the status of the item is still "pending". What is going on?
I will not even go into other problems of Ovi at this time, these two are the most pressing issues for us.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank You,
Bogdan Suteu

I just really do not like my roommate. At all. I honestly don't see us becoming besties ever. I know I complained about her in my last journal, but I'm gonna complain about her some more. For one thing, she always acts like she never has a fucking clue what's going on. She has this perpetual look of confusion on her face that really annoys me. I'm surprised she hasn't been hit by a car yet.
Also, she's unorganized as fuck. I know I'm not super organized, but I'm FAR more organized than she is. There are mountains of clothes on her dresser, in her closet, on the floor by her desk. I can hardly open my fucking closet because the door get stuck on THE GIANT OVERFLOWING MOUNTAIN OF CLOTHES. She's a mooch. She keeps using my laundry detergent and I don't have the heart to say no. If she forgets her ID card for lunch, she's more than willing to accept halfhearted offers to pay for her food.
Lastly and most importantly, lately she's been leaving the suite at like nine or ten at night and doesn't come back until some ungodly morning hour the next day. Today it was four in the morning. FOUR IN THE MORNING. WHO DOES THAT ON A WEEK NIGHT? And it almost always wakes me up. Sarah, one of my friends, tells me she goes off to do art projects. Gawd she's just so fucking out of it.
And, like I mentioned before, she's somewhat in my small circle of friends, plus I live with her, so it's tricky to avoid her. I also feel like a douche because I don't really try to engage in conversation with her. I'm not openly an asshole, but I'm sure she's picked up by now on the fact that I'm not interested in being besties. Or maybe she's hasn't. Honestly she's so spaced out all the time she might not have noticed.
Funny story before I move on: she went to a party this weekend and went off alone with a guy she didn't even know. No cell phone on her, nothing. She just wandered off with this dude, totally ignoring the concerns of a few of my friends. They offered her their cell phones, but she wouldn't take them. And then she had to wear a scarf for three days because he gave her a ton of nasty hickeys. Plot twist: she has a boyfriend back in California. So she's the kind of girl who constantly has some obnoxious dating drama going on. Hoorah.
But, she's not totally ruining my college experience or anything. I love it here. I'm getting even closer to my suite mates and it's great. They're all really cool people. They know I'm gay and they didn't even flinch when I told them. Not all of my suite mates know. The girls I don't really talk to are still oblivious but being out to every possible person isn't a priority for me. I mean, if the opportunity arises they will be informed, but I'm not just gonna sit down with them and have a talk with them about it.
Anyway, yeah, I have like five suite mates that I chill out with all the time. I was kind of into one girl who's a soccer player but she has a boyfriend so that's not something worth pursuing. One of my suite friends and I are planning on going to a concert in Chicago in mid-October together, so that's awesome! We're gonna make a day of it and go to the zoo before the concert probably. I'm terrified of driving around in Chicago though. Whenever I go we always take taxis. The streets are confusing and people go 60 in a 30 so it's a little intimidating. But who cares! I'm going to Chicago without adult supervision! Because I am an adult! Woot! And I get to see a really amazing ska/punk band! Streetlight Manifesto. Check them out. They're great.
I've been continuously going to three different clubs' meetings: Common Ground (the LGBT club), Brony club, and SSA (Secular Student Alliance). They're all great, although I haven't really started making friends in any of them yet. It just takes me awhile. But we all know this. Today in Common Ground we talked about stereotypes, which was interesting. And there are of course several lesbians there, but I haven't scoped anyone out yet (we've only had two meeting thus far). I feel like if I intentionally seek out a lady constantly I'll never find one. When I develop serious feels for a particular lady, it always happens accidentally. So I'm just gonna chill. But I do want a girlfriend.
Oh! I also did this volunteer thing in Peoria in which I, introverted Jenna, approached random strangers asking them to sign a petition showing their support for the same-sex marriage bill Illinois is considering. I only got like five signatures because I felt like I would be "that person" that annoys people, and by the time I got more comfortable with approaching people it was time to leave. Bummer. But every signature counts. So it wasn't a total waste.
I also sent in my submission to that literary magazine and I have checked my email obsessively since to see if they're gonna publish me. Problem is, I sent it to the most elite student publication on campus. I mean, this literary journal has won national awards for fuck's sake. Probably should have started smaller. Whoops. But you never know.
But yeah, I've found more opportunities here in two weeks than I did back at home in four years of high school. Like, a secular club at my high school would never be a thing. It's just so open and diverse here and I'm so used to mega religious redneck white people who are dumb and are all exactly the same. It's so refreshing!
I definitely feel like I belong here now.
I don't think you're meant to date her, just uninterested co-existence is sufficient. Look as it as permission to not be concerned when you wake her up, or you wake up with a hot girl in your bed, etc.
"It just takes me awhile. But we all know this." I only know who you were in high school. Who you decide to be in college is up to you. You're too young in your teens to know your life patterns from now to the grave, unless of course, you keep repeating and accepting them as part of God's plan, then sure, you're locked in. But if it's not serving you, change it.
I get wanting to meet other lesbolicious sisters, and probably has some overlap with people who masturbate to cartoon horses, but... isn't the beauty of atheism its lack of structure? Are there any other things you don't believe in that merit regular attendance? ;-)
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
Hehe. I suppose so. I don't think many girls in this suite are besties with their roommate anyone, they just respectfully share a space and engage in polite conversation.
I'm going to try to change it. I know I'm capable of making friends, I've done it already with my suite mates, I just need to put myself out there more. I plan on speaking up more during our discussions in our clubs.
Not every brony jerks off to ponies! Some of them just really like the show. It's very bright and happy and has messages about friendship and sometimes you just need something so disgustingly sweet like that. You should heed the show's big, repeating message: Love and tolerate :P
The Secular Student Alliance isn't necessarily a club for atheists. It welcomes people of all religions who are curious and have questions about life and stuff. From my understanding, we talk about things like the origin of life, evolution, the universe, the separation of church and state and religion's role in politics, stuff like that. We're gonna have professors and guest speakers talk to us about these things. Plus, another goal is to show the community here that atheists aren't terrible awful people. It seems pretty cool to me.
I cannot heed, nor be expected to know, the message of a show I have never watched. But unless I had a pretty laced pot brownie beforehand, I can't imagine watching a show about cartoon horses and being affected.
I am always amused by the "atheists aren't bad people" notion that often needs to be corrected amongst believers. Doesn't it, at its core, say that they believe their natural state, sans belief, is that they would be awful? How much more proof of brainwashing do you need than to think your own ability to be a good person isn't natural, but something you are barely holding onto through the unworthy grace of (insert deity here).

Haha. Well, I really can't see you being a brony anyway.
Yeah, I agree. In fact, the kind of Christians I grew up around had pretty much that exact belief; we are all horrible, morally corrupt without a god to steer us the right way. "Where do you get your morals from?" is a question I once got from my mom. Ummm....do I really need a source???? I just always thought it was common sense that killing and rape and whatnot aren't good things? You don't have to have a guidebook.
Also, the topic of that article is weird and seems so contradictory...establish a church to get away from church? But, the SSA here is more about the scientific discussion and philosophical questions that religion shoos away. Really I see it as a place for atheists and free thinkers to go on campus.
Maybe I spoke too soon...
And of course...

Flights Erfurt – Low-cost flights to Erfurt
Book low-cost flights to Erfurt with airberlin. An excursion to capital of the state of Thuringia is also worthwhile. Start your tour, for example, on the 120 metre long Krämer Bridge. It is among the city's most well-known landmarks and is at the same time its oldest secular building and entirely built up with houses. A subsequent trip to Erfurt's cathedral with its wonderfully high stained-glass windows offers the opportunity to admire the unique interplay of cathedral and the St. Severikirche. The cathedral's dome also houses Europe's largest free-swinging medieval bell. The Petersberg promontory rises right next to the cathedral's square, on which the citadel of the same name, a largely intact baroque city fortress can be found.
Fly to Erfurt and take a trip to the diverse capital
After your excursion to the city's historic centre, you will be able to relax in one of the numerous parks, such as the city, north or south park. The Steigerwald forest can also be found to the south of the city that offers visitors many opportunities for walks with its 700-hectare site. The Erfurt exhibition centre is more busier. It is the second-largest exhibition centre of the newly-formed German states after the Leipzig trade fair. Many conferences, congresses and exhibitions, but also concerts and sports events take place here every year. Whether you are travelling to Erfurt to take a stroll around the city or to go to the next event at the exhibition centre, airberlin offers low-cost flights to take you there.

I have to convert my 30 RPB range from LP to natural gas.
I have the conversion kit. I appears to be straigh forward.. does anyone have tips for me in doing this? WOuld there be a video showing this? Thank you all, it has been from all of your feedback that I purchased this Range.. and I do love it! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This video will show you how to replace a burner orifice. Sorry, I haven't ever had to replace the oven stuff. Did the kit just consist of a bunch of orifices like the one I show in the video linked above? Or are there also replacement gas valves? aabny, if you do not mind, I would appreciate it if you would post a note in this thread when you do the swap. What I would like to know is what number is stamped on the replacement orifices that go on the 22k RNB, the 15K NB, and the 8K simmer burner. I know what size the natural gas ones should be, but I would like to know what sizes the LP version uses for each burner. The drill size or "gauge" of each orifice is stamped in the brass. It should be easy to spot. Thanks! |

Nice car, but the rims ruin it. Put the factory Buick rims on it, and then you'd have something.

This questions is for all you pin fanatics. Is there a place you can find the current value of a certain pin?
Thanks for any help.
Values of pins, or any collectible, fluctuate on a daily basis. Final selling bids on ebay can give you some indication, but the pin has to be available for sale in order to judge its value. The old adage, "It's worth what somebody is willing to pay for it." fits for most pins.
There's only one guide I'm familiar with for pin values, and it becomes dated very quickly, and that's Tomart's Disneyana Guide to Pin Trading, which I think is in its 4th edition and can be purchased at WDW. You can get more info at their website: http://www.tomart.com
Well, this makes an even 1000!!!
James... Congraulations on your 1000th post!!!!
:cool: :thumbs: :mickeywav :cheers: :drummer: :hurray: :hair: (just dying to use that smilie)
Thanks for the info James.
And congrats on 1000
Dzneynut is right. Only a select few pins stay about the same price. That would be the common, open stock/rack pins. But any LE pins can range from $5-$50. It depends on the rarity, character, and size of the pin. LE CM (Limited Edition Cast Member) pins are probably the best pins to add to a collection. One, because they are LE. And because ONLY CM's could buy the pin. Those are probably the most expensive. Also the older and newest pins relesaed I have personally seen to be the most expensive. But pins over time either get more expensive, or lose thier "initial" value. It really depends on the collector. I have noticed that Stitch, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tower of Terror, pins are extremely popular and therefore expensive. My advice is to try and buy them from the theme park for the $6.50-$10.50 because for a pin that will probably be the least expensive price to pay. (With exception to most non LE pins)
Anyone have any ideas on the values of the Millionaire-Play It! pins [up to a million]? I've never seen them up for sale anywhere, and I was wondering what they might go for? I've looked in lots of places, but never seen anything above the 1000 point pin.
try checking right by were they play the game at MGM at one of the nearby stores maybe they caring them
The best place to check the prices for the WWTBAM pins is by doing a closed auctions search on ebay.
My friend sold pins and prizes that were up to $250K for over $175 once, but that was a few years ago.

Remembering All-V's All Variety and the small-town feel of a strip mall in the big city
I used to have this recurring dream where I was walking along a strip mall in my grandparents' neighborhood of Mayfair/Hale. I was always heading to La Bola, a Mexican restaurant we used to go to when I was a kid. I would walk up to the door in broad daylight, pull on its oversized wrought-iron handle, and look into the dark and dank bar room beyond. But that was as far as I got -- I would always wake up before I could really see what the interior looked like.
About a decade ago, I made my roommate go with me to this strip mall to see if La Bola was still there and if it looked like that dream I couldn't seem to finish. It didn't: La Bola was gone, replaced by an Italian restaurant. I opened the door and there was no bar room, no mysterious dim and cool space to step into -- just a regular restaurant.
I was in that same neighborhood again yesterday, after I heard that All-V's All Variety had closed after almost half a century on East Eighth Avenue. As with La Bola, I wanted to go inside the sub shop one last time, but no such luck. It was done.
See also: New owner of Mayfair Center to renovate the mid-century modern shopping area
La Bola was replaced by many things over the years; the Jersey Street Bar & Grill is the location's current occupant. The shoppette housing the restaurant remains unchanged from the early 2000s, when I visited it last, both in my dreams and in my waking life. I'm pretty sure the strip mall at Ninth and Jersey hasn't changed much at all since it was built several decades ago.
All-V's, too, looked the same -- in that strange way a business often looks when it closes suddenly. It was like a still-life of my last visit to All-V's for a sandwich -- which was probably in the early '90s. Short, country-kitsch curtains bordered the top and bottom of the long front window, and strangely, a copy of Westword still sat on a table, as if someone had been reading it while getting down on one last All-V's classic hot or cold sub.
I remember strolling to this simple sub shop when I was in seventh and eighth grades, walking the few blocks from my Catholic school just down the way on Elm Street. It wasn't a regular hangout, by any means, but I recall feeling very grown up going to a place like All-V's without adult supervision but instead with my friend Betsy, who to me was extra lucky because her parents both worked and she had free rein of her after-school time.
(I had a stay-at-home dad, which sucked any life and chance out of being able to wander around alone not doing homework after school -- minus the beautiful caveat that was being at someone else's house. My father also did my homework with me in a way that felt like extra school, complete with a chalkboard in our kitchen for math problems.)

I haven't bought one yet, but in my research the 12 qt could go anywhere from $600 to $2000, depending on condition and whether it's a liquidation auction or whether you're buying it from a dealer. Check ebay for similar listings, that may give you a better range. Good luck!!

Girls swimming: Local schools eye strong finishes at finals
By JOsh Lichtenfeld Post-Tribune correspondent February 8, 2013 11:20PM
Updated: March 10, 2013 6:49AM
Lake Central girls swimming coach Todd Smolinski has a calm approach when it comes to perspective for the state tournament.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
In fact, it wasn't until Friday's preliminary round finished that the leader could start to think about Saturday's state finals.
"In meets like this you can't even focus on Saturday, you have to take it a day at a time," he said. "Are we worried about Saturday? Uh, we'll start worrying about it tonight."
His philosophy appears to be working for the Indians. And just like fellow region clubs Chesterton, Munster and Crown Point, the Indians are pushing for a strong finish. LC junior Traci Muszalski will be among those swimming today at IUPUI, taking part in two finals. She is seeded sixth in the 500 free, with a prelim time of 4:59.46 and is part of the eighth-seeded 200 free relay team.
"I think Traci was the big surprise, I knew she could do that but she had a fantastic swim in the (500)," he said.
Crown Point also came out firing. The Bulldogs will be in the finals for all three relays (second in the 400 free and fifth in both the 200 medley and 200 free relays) and have advanced two individual swimmers. CP's Racheal Bukowski earned a sixth seed in the 50 free (23.72) and Aly Tetzloff a third seed in the 100 butterfly (going 54.64).
"Second through sixth place is going to be determined by 15-20 points, at least we put ourselves in a position to finish," CP coach Bryon Angerman said of the strategy of filling the relay teams with the Tetzloff and other notable swimmers. The Bulldogs are vying to be among the top-five teams. "I think we're in position to have the best finish that Crown Point has ever had."
The Trojans are a threat to be another of top-tier team. For consecutive years they've finished in the top five. Part of Chesterton's charge comes from freshman Vanessa Krause (seeded fifth in both the 50 free and 100 fly, going 23.66 and 55.70) and senior Julia Campbell (seeded second in the 500 free after her time of 4:55.51).
"We just have to gear up and get after it tomorrow and place as high as we can," Chesterton coach Kevin Kinel said.
On an individual front, Highland sophomore Jackie Smailis is also advancing on with the top-16 time of 57.47 in the 100 back.

Hmmm.... tour the park and try to answer every question in the WDW Trivia Book correctly (Sorry for the shameless plug)
Our family are season pass holders and as such go a lot...so we have been thinking of alternate park plans.....and are thinking that you all may have some ideas too....
For example....
I collect pressed pennies, so one day we are going to go to the parks and map out all penny locations and mark them on the maps....
One day we are going to follow our Hidden Mickey book looking for Hidden Mickeys
One day we are gonna do the Masks and Stamps at Epcot too..
Hmmm, how about how many movies and TV Shows can we find reference to at MGM?
We are still thinking of more ideas.....

Lou! I thought that one went without saying! ROTFLMMEO
Last time we were there, we did a project that involved some people watching-we looked at those with "old" meaning previous year-WDW shirts on, and compared the styles-what they looked like in 2004, 2003, etc. I just like to see what they put on the annual shirts that us tourists buy!
I am in need of some Disney magic!!

Is WinZip 8.1 a good program for unzipping an embroidery file?
It is being sold for about 15.00 including shipping on eBay. Any thoughts on this topic? Or is whatever XP Home has good enough? |

- Posted by garnetsews (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 05 at 5:32
The WinZip on the your computer will be fine. I have never had any problems unzipping the embroidery files with my XP software. |
Like mentioned above, the zip program that XP has will work fine for unzipping embroidery designs. |
How do you unzip on XP? |
When you double click on the file that you want to unzip, the process should start automatically. |
Thanks to all of you. I will give it a try. Wish me luck. |

Charges for wedding consulting services vary widely. Typically, consultants charge by the hour or by the package. Some consultants will charge up to 15 percent of the total wedding cost, but this is a more common practice in larger cities where disposable income is higher and there are more top-level female executives footing the bill.
According to Ernst, preparation-planning fees, which include everything except wedding day coordination, usually range between $2,000 and $4,500, depending on whether your business is in a rural or metropolitan area. Full production coordination, which includes everything from early planning and budgeting to wedding day activity coordination, will cost an additional $1,500 to $3,000 on average.
What's Inside
- Introduction
- Target Market
- Startup Costs
- Operations
- Income and Billing
- Marketing
- Resources
According to the wedding consultants interviewed for Entrepreneur's Bridal Consultant Startup Guide, full production package rates ranged from $1,000 to $5,000. The higher prices were found in the largest metropolitan areas, where one consultant even offered a $10,000 "concierge" package for the bride who wants to do nothing more than verbally approve the consultant's selections and write checks to pay the suppliers.
To arrive at a price for your wedding packages, Gerard J. Monaghan of the Association of Bridal Consultants suggests using this formula to come up with an hourly rate:
The SBA says the average service industry pay rate is $25 to $125 per hour. Where you price your services in this range depends on what your local market will bear.
Of course, to obtain all that lovely remuneration, you have to bill your clients regularly. Most of the wedding consultants we spoke to bill incrementally. Typically, they require payment for the consultation on the spot, then expect monthly payments for weddings that are planned over a very long period of time (like 9 months to a year). Weddings that have a shorter lead-time may be billed in two installments: one at the time of the contract, and a second final payment no later than 30 days after the event.
Cancellations aren't uncommon in this business, and Loreen C., the consultant in Michigan, tries to keep hers to a minimum by refunding just half of the deposit if the cancellation occurs within seven days. After that, the deposit is forfeited. "I have to do that because I might have turned someone else down for the same date," she explains.
Some of the wedding consultants we spoke to have merchant accounts, which allow them to bill their clients' Visa or MasterCard accounts. Julia K., the wedding consultant in Texas, points out that credit card fees can be very high for the merchant (that's you), but they're a necessary expense if you want to be paid on a timely basis. But if you haven't been in business very long, a merchant account probably isn't necessary just yet.
Smart Tip
Always provide a written contract that spells out your responsibilities and payment terms, since under the Uniform Commercial Code, contracts for the sale of services or goods in excess of $500 must be in writing to be legally enforceable. Even if your bill will be under $500, it's a good idea to have a written contract just in case a dispute arises.
