Campus Housing:
I love everything about this school except for the people at it. As a Northerner, this is NOT the place for me. I love the facilities and my classes are pretty good, but I am a very social person and the rural, boring student body drives me insane. Come to State if you are antisocial, but want great facilities and pretty decent food. DO NOT come to State if you're looking to make fun, energetic, passionate, unique friends. Almost everyone on campus is shy, judgemental, religious, and from North Carolina.
Party Scene:
Personally, I prefer more quiet nights in with just friends so I cannot accuratly describe the nightlife for the school.
The Wolfline is highly effective for students across campus both during the school day and then also in the evening. The bigger issues arise whenever a student wants to go somewhere that is just recreational, those are a bit further. However, city transportation covers those places.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many locations right next to campus that are a bit less diverse, however the further that one gets from campus (like… <10 minutes with a car) then the diversity of the food options grows.
It's not oppressive, but people like different things.
Need more spaces, but buses are effective.
Campus Housing:
Cheap, convenient, easy. Options are unique, nice.
Extremely hard, but it's Nuclear Engineering.
Campus Food:
Dining halls are ok, other options suffice.
Campus Quality:
Many opportunities, research, work, and academic.
Campus Quality:
We have fun on and off. New stuff is sleek.
CODA is difficult, but fair for engineering.
Extremely difficult, but faculty/students help.
Overall Experience:
Academics, athletics, social life. Overall great.
Policies are simplie, and the fun isn't removed.
Spirit is strong, and participation is solid.
Earlier is better. NCSU has rolling admissions.
Campus Housing:
Housing is sufficient but nothing special.
It's a challenging major, but I definitely love most of my classes. Workload can be tough, but time management helps.
NC State is known for its rigorous engineering and science courses.
Health & Safety:
I feel safe walking alone on campus, but I do use escorts at night to get back home. Most girls would say they're scared to walk alone at night.
Drug Safety:
You're going to be able to access some form of drug no matter where you go in life. In the end, you made the choice to seek out the drug and you made the choice to use it.
There is a lot of diversity in so many ways. It is guaranteed you will experience some diverse situation everyday.
Overall Experience:
I don't know what my life would be like if I did not make the choice to come to this school.
Party Scene:
Most places are generally easy to get into and drink prices are pretty average.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, the students' experience with NCSU is that it provides them with a rich learning environment. Students learn to balance play and work. Some come to NC State because of family tradition, to get away from the cold, or because of the College of Engineering-but whatever the reason is for the individual, positive feedback always finds its way out. Professors at the University will go above and beyond their call of duty. You make lifelong friends, and you have a huge list of organizations to partake in. Whether you're involved in a college sport, student government, or the Agribusiness Club, you will find your niche here among the thousands of students. Some professors will take you under their wing, and you will learn enormous amounts of information from them. These professors will also become lifelong connections who will probably end up writing letters of recommendation for you when it is time for you to find a job.
NC State wants its students to succeed not only in academics, but in life, too. Here you learn important lifelong skills that are essential to your survival in the real world. Classes can be rigorous and stressful, but students find a way to overcome hardships and get through. Professors will push you to do your best, but at the same time, they understand what it was like to be a student. NC State will help you become an expert in your subject of choice, and with the large number of students, you will come out of college ready to work in some of the most diverse settings.

24-Hour Room Service: Cathedral Quarter Hotel, Derby
Saturday 16 August 2008
Ashort walk from the cathedral tower, Derby's first boutique hotel opened four months ago. It captures the spirit of the city's ambitious reconstruction programme, which is carefully preserving the old, while altering the skyline with some striking new architecture.
The Cathedral Quarter Hotel fits firmly into the former category, having never found a permanent role in its 110-year history. It was built for the military, taken over by the County Council, and until two years ago housed a Police Museum in what is now the reception area. A painstaking, £5m refit has uncovered long-forgotten original features and added some bold contemporary flourishes. The police tape evidence library is now a bar, and the vault which once stored banknotes and ammunition has been converted into a wine cellar. The spa in the basement was never a police cell, but they've named it CLINK anyway.
First impressions are memorable. Sections of the lobby's Victorian mosaic floor have been saved and restored. A grand central staircase flows towards lofty, stained glass windows which flood the hall with light. The main challenge was repairing the pillars and stairs, which are made of Scagliola, a rare, Italian-made material that resembles marble. The owners tracked down one of the few remaining specialists to repair the dents and chips, and design a new reception desk in the same material.
Cathedral Quarter Hotel, 16 St Mary's Gate, Derby (01332 546080; www.cathedral quarterhotel.com). The hotel is on one of the finest streets in the old town, and many of the rooms offer views of the cathedral.
Time to station: Derby railway station is eight minutes walk away.
The hotel's 36 air-conditioned bedrooms and two suites are arranged over four floors. The rooms are spacious and airy, yet the rich, textured wallpaper and boldly-patterned curtains and cushions create a warm, intimate atmosphere.
Freebies: A range of Aveda toiletries, mineral water, tea and coffee-making facilities and a complimentary morning newspaper.
Keeping in touch: Every room has a direct dial phone, LCD TV, and free, cabled internet access. There's free wireless internet in the public areas of the ground floor.
Double rooms, including breakfast, start at £120, based on two people sharing.
I'm not paying that: Thornhill Lodge (Thornhill Road; 01332 345318; www.thornhill-lodge.com) is an award-winning guesthouse about a mile from the city centre. All nine bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Doubles, including breakfast, from £68.

Scary Toothbrush Prompts Shutdown of World's Busiest Airport 284
from the rogue-toothbrush-sounds-scarier dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not sure if you're aware of how much parking fees are for commercial airliners, but they aren't cheap & are calculated to the minute. Add to this the reallocation of tickets for connecting flights, time on the clock for business people, etc.
A small delay can amount to millions in a busy airport.
Talk about exaggerating the truth, jeez.
I had my electric razor start in my bag in Guangzhou and they made me go back through check in and open my luggage and turn it off. Their was no tension, they were still smiling at my embarrassment all the way. The took me back air side afterwards but there was never any implication that it was a threat. They just wanted me to be there when the bag was opened and it was checked out. Why is that China is the one that is always pictured as the police state when I am always treated far better there?
I travelled a lot with my son and he caused enough scares to turn me grey. We were immediately surrounded by armed police in Thailand when they saw a gun in his carry on as it went through x-ray... It was a very realistic BB gun that he had bought in the market in Bangkok without telling me... and in China he tried to get 2 small swords on a plane and they would not let him...Thankfully he has now left home and gone to university.

May 29, 2013 - Great price for a great product! The material could come up a little higher at the top, but if you trim the neck strings I'm sure that would do it.
May 5, 2013 - Excellent quality and beautiful design! We love them and wear them as often as we can...:)
April 30, 2013 - Love the apron. It keeps me from getting full of hair when I groom my 20+ dogs. I shortened the neck strings, as hair was falling down the front.
April 19, 2013 - You can't beat the price! But, on the small size, if you are on the larger size like I am (170 pounds), it fits snug!! It's an apron, not a bikini, give it a little more material LOL!
April 13, 2013 - I love this apron. I wear it most of the time when I need an apron. I have to buy one for my daughter and friends who have seen it. They all try to take mine! Well made product and quality material.

Larry Hagman's beachfront condo goes on the market for
$5.2m... as his family tries to sell their sprawling Ojai mansion
as well
He built his fortune over the past three decades as the love-to-hate JR. Ewing on the television show Dallas.
after passing away last November after a year long battle with cancer,
Larry Hagman's estates in Santa Monica and Ojai, California have been
sitting unused.
And with his wife of 58 years, Maj Axelsson, suffering from Alzheimers, those homes have now been posted for sale.
Breathtaking: Larry Hagman's $5.2million Santa Monica beachfront penthouse was listed for sale on Sunday
Hagman's breathtaking beachfront penthouse in Santa Monica, California has been listed for $5.2million.
condo features floor-to-ceiling windows and a semi-private glass
elevator shared with only seven other tenants at the posh 101 Ocean
Avenue building.
Pictures of the home show the star's love of nature, as the Pacific Ocean could be seen even from a small bathroom window.
Home for sale: Larry Hagman's penthouse in Santa Monica has been sold for $5million just four months after he passed away
Tragic loss: The authentic Texan was in the middle of filming episode five of 15 in season two of the Dallas reboot when he died at the age of 81
Making mischief: J.R. was a central character on the show and always causing trouble
And in one shot, fans can imagine
Hagman watching the sunset as a cowboy hat, JR beers and two glasses of
wine are placed on a balcony table.
2011, Hagman returned to Dallas to reprise his role as cunning villain
J.R. in the show's reboot, which started airing in June last year.
But in October of that year he was diagnosed with a 'treatable' form of throat cancer and announced he would receive treatment while filming the show.
360 views: The penthouse sits atop the exclusive 101 Ocean Avenue building
Floor-to-ceiling windows: Larry had a love for nature
Wrap around deck: The penthouse features a large balcony
Spectacular sunsets: The living room has views as far north as Malibu
Bit of nostalgia: One photo featured a cowboy hat and JR brand beer, in honour of Larry
The bedroom: Larry's bedroom also featured a small sitting and eating area
The guest room: The penthouse also features a second room, outfitted for multiple guests
That's a lot of toille: Surely the new owners will be making a few adjustments
At the time the star said: 'As
J.R. I could get away with anything - bribery, blackmail and adultery.
But I got caught by cancer. I do want everyone to know that it is a very
common and treatable form of cancer.'
just three years prior, his wife Maj Axelsson, whom he was married to
for 58 years, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2008 and by 2010
she required 24-hour nursing care.
a result, the couple were forced to downsize and late last month they
put their 43-acre Ojai ranch up for sale, listing it at $11million, but
the price has just come down to $6.495million.
A bathroom for a king: The restroom has a walk-in shower and a large vanity
Even the bathroom has a view: The guest bathroom as a small shower window

Why California's New Mandatory Water Restrictions Aren't Enough
The Church of Scientology's Vitriolic Reaction to 'Going Clear'

By Amy Goodman, David Goodman $9.58
So-called free market policies, values, and practices with their emphasis on the privatization of public wealth, the elimination of social protections, and the deregulation of economic activity now shape practically every commanding political and economic institution in the United States.
The fight to end male violence against women is crucial to the struggles of wider liberation. We cannot stand up for some of the oppressed and ignore others who are oppressed.
The battle over California's limited water supply is pitting the people against the new "water barons"—Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Monsanto and their ilk—who are buying up water all over the world at an unprecedented pace.
The journalist P. Sainath has worked for more than 20 years to amplify the voices and lives of the rural poor of India as corporate-controlled media have attempted to erase them from history. (Pictured, an Indian farmer in his damaged field.)
Kshama Sawant, the socialist on the Seattle City Council, is up for re-election, and the Establishment is determined to defeat her and the ideas she champions before they spread.

In response to his Truthdig column of March 8 on capitalism, the sex industry and the political left, organizers of an upcoming conference on exploitation and activism in Canada tried to remove the writer as keynote speaker.
With demand stagnant and excess production the story of the moment, the very strategy that once generated record-breaking profits for the oil industry has suddenly become hopelessly dysfunctional.
For the anti-austerity struggle in Greece and elsewhere to become effective and sustainable, it must be raised from the national level to the international level.
One of our most trenchant critics of corporate capitalism deplores the rise of an "extreme center" that has seized control of the political process and wages endless war while doing the bidding of global corporations. Our only hope, he says, is revolt.
It's been 25 years and change since the Berlin Wall came down, but as it turns out, many Germans now aren't so big on the whole capitalism thing.
The world is watching to see if the anti-austerity party Syriza can turn things around for Greece. Success may inspire hope in the economically desperate across the globe—and fear among the elites.
In an effort to stave off criticism of its low wages, the United States' largest private employer announced Thursday that it will raise the pay of half a million workers to $9 an hour in the next six months.
"Managing others always involves finding solutions to the age-old problems of assessing people from limited information, then incentivising, disciplining and rewarding them, to finally being rid of them," Jerry Toner, author of "The Roman Guide to Slave Management," writes in a piece for Aeon magazine.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" is part of a corporate capitalist onslaught that has seen women dehumanized, men desensitized, children damaged and violence and exploitation glorified.
The civil rights leader, assassinated 50 years ago this month, knew that empire cannot be reformed—it must be destroyed.
The host of the YouTube series "The Trews" takes a look at Syriza's victory in Greece's recent elections and considers whether capitalism has "finally crumbled."
Yanis Varoufakis, tipped to become finance minister of what may become Greece's leading party, describes what Syriza will do if it takes power.
A member of the Greek left's "best chance at success in a generation" clarifies the party's view on whether the country's political economy should be reformed or completely overhauled.
In this interview, Henry Giroux condemns neoliberalism's attack on the critical imagination and argues for a radical democracy that empowers all people to shape the values, policies and practices that shape their lives.

In a review of Naomi Klein's new book, economist and fellow Canadian Sam Gindin criticizes the author for implying that the climate problem can be solved with gentler forms of capitalism.
The incarcerated poor have become the nation's most exploited workers. They are the prototype drones for the corporate totalitarian state.

Ever wonder why many of our British cousins open gifts on the 26th of December? The answer may be more elusive than you expect.
The acclaimed linguist and philosopher sits down with GRITtv's Laura Flanders to discuss the crimes America was founded on, how social movements like the Ferguson protests can help the U.S. progress, and other topics such as capitalism, China and his friendship with none other than Amy Goodman's father.
Somewhere in America tonight, another poor person who the police deem a threat will be killed. Tomorrow another, and then another. These deaths are not an outrage against this system. They are normal for this system.
The murder of unarmed citizens by police is not only about racism. It is an example of the omnipotence of the corporate state and the evisceration of the rule of law.

How does a company like Ford, which did $139.4 billion in business last year, qualify for a tax refund?
Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges and political philosopher Sheldon Wolin conclude their eight-part series on American democracy and corporate capitalism with conversations about the consequences of relentless totalitarianism, the nature of participatory democracy and how to think about the possibility of revolution.
In the fourth and fifth installments of their long conversation on corporate capitalism and American democracy, Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges and political philosopher Sheldon Wolin discuss the concept of "inverted totalitarianism," Wolin's experience as a university professor and the expulsion of unorthodox academics in the postwar United States.
The author of "This Changes Everything" stops by the "Trews" set to talk to Russell Brand about how the "brutal, dominance-based capitalist system" in place in the West is screwing us all.
Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges embarks on a long, ranging discussion with political philosopher and former professor of politics at Princeton University Sheldon Wolin on the state of American democracy and the rise of corporate capitalism.
We're talking about an ideology marked by the selling off of public goods to private interests; the attack on social provisions; the rise of the corporate state; the celebration of profit-making as the essence of democracy; and with the utterly reductionist notion that consumption is the only applicable form of citizenship.
Two leading political philosophers, Sheldon Wolin and John Ralston Saul, explore the corporations' slow-motion coup d'état and the prospects of financial collapse and revolt.
Those who fight against neoliberalism must not settle for reforming a system that is as broken as it is dangerous. Any viable, transformative struggle will need a boldly democratic vision; durable, longstanding organizations; and strategies that make politics meaningful.
On a recent episode of "The Trews," comedian Russell Brand sits down with author and activist Daniel Pinchbeck on a white bed to discuss what changes need to come about in order for Earth and humanity to survive.
Western inaction has worsened the crisis in part because there was no money to be made before the disease reached epidemic proportions.
"I know, I know. I'm rich, I'm famous, I have money, I have had private security on and off for years," comedian Russell Brand acknowledges in a recent article for The Guardian as he discusses the need to abolish the guard labor that protects the rich. However, he goes on to concede, "There is no doubt that I as much as anyone have to change. Revolution is change."
The Belgian psychotherapist's new book considers the impact of 30 years of neoliberal economics on the development of personal identity and cultural character in the West.
Companies like the car services Uber and Lyft, which are valued together at $30 billion, are successful only because the economic recovery has created a desperate workforce willing to work for a pittance, Bloomberg columnist Katie Benner writes.
Even when the "Colbert Report" host calls Naomi Klein a "class traitor," the journalist laughs it off and gives a stellar explanation of what needs to be done if we want to keep the planet from becoming unrecognizable due to climate change.
The Truthdig columnist dishes with the libertarians over at ReasonTV about capitalism, from Aristotle to AIG.
The "Trews" host challenges his viewers to question who benefits from the denial of global warming and invites everyone to join one of 2,000 climate change marches occurring all over the globe Sunday.
Thomas Piketty attributes rising inequality in the U.S. primarily to huge increases in the salaries of CEOs and other top executives, but he misinterprets the evidence. Rising salaries of top executives actually explain very little of the rise in inequality, and they depressed other employees' pay by only a negligible amount.
The abandonment of Gazans, some of the planet's most powerless people, illustrates how all who are vulnerable are now routinely sacrificed by our political elites.
Netflix users seeking rare or less commercially valued titles are finding the company's streaming and DVD mailer service unequal to their desires, a development that prompts the question of whether technology and free enterprise have led audiences down a dark road to a narrower cultural selection.
Once an emancipatory project predicated on the right to study and engage the past critically, history under the reign of neoliberalism has receded into a depoliticizing culture of consumerism, a wholesale attack on science, the glorification of military ideals, an embrace of the punishing state, and a nostalgic invocation of the greatest generation.

A Change in the Plan
Good evening, Yesterday evening I arrived in Bordeaux on the train from Paris. I was expecting quaint wine town, but was disappointed to find sketchy, drunken college town. A place I felt the need to clutch my bag tighter and try not to make eye contact with anyone. I dropped my stuff at the hostel then went out again towards the direction of the main street. Again, not a place I would have any interest in exploring or getting to know any better. ...

Atlantic coastal drive.
Open fields and pines along the French coast line of the Atlantic Ocean. Typical colonial farmer towns of the country side and once at the beach, boulevards, cafes, shops, restaurants, and infinite beach breaks, some better than others. A relaxed surfers paradise for a retirement future plan. People here are respectful, conscious about the environment and aware of their surroundings, just a couple of things that doesn't click yet; they don't ...

Atlas Elektronik GmbH has been commissioned by the Korean yard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) with the supply and integration of a bow sonar (ASO) as well as a low-frequency active towed array sonar (ACTAS) for a new frigate of the Royal Thai Navy. Delivery of the systems is planned to take place early in 2016.
Together, the two systems offer active and passive sonars for the detection, tracking and classification of underwater vehicles, such as submarines, torpedoes and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). In addition, these sonars are able to detect and classify small speedboats, divers or floating obstacles, e.g. containers or tethered mines.
The ASO bow sonar operates in the frequency range between 6-9 kHz and provides a surveillance radius of up to 15 kilometers around the ship. This makes it most suitable for the self-protection of the ship. The towed array sonar ACTAS operates in the low-frequency range from about 2 kHz and permits observation of the sea space at ranges considerably above 60 kilometers, depending on the propagation conditions of the water. This gives the sonar an operational range that by far exceeds that of radars and the weapons range of submarines. The system is therefore not only ideal for hunting submarines but also for the wide-area reconnaissance of surface combatants.
Both sonar systems represent the state of the art from Atlas Elektronik and, besides newly developed signal processing methods, offer a unified hardware design with the corresponding simplifications in servicing and support.

The way this needs to be seen is, its her body, let her do with it as she pleases. I, like her, love tattoos. Needless to say, I wouldn't get this, but that is more because my legs are hairy and I'm not shaving my legs for it. BUT there are some people that do not believe in tattoos just because and that is your right. But that is for your body alone, not to tell someone else that they shouldn't. I have been through the comments and everyone keeps saying she'll regret it. I have one thing to say to everyone that thinks that:
"live your life to the fullest, and never regret." Its one of the quotes that has helped me a good bit. Sure, you may think it is stupid, but her reasonings may be a little different then what you think and if she likes it, that's all that matters.
But this is my opinion, prepares for red thumbs.

'And the two of them went together... And the two of them went together'
(Genesis 22:6, 8)In previous commentaries, I have queried which of the two
major protagonists of the akeda (binding of Isaac) story suffered the greater
test: Abraham (Abram), the father who had to take the responsibility for the
sacrifice of his son, or Isaac, the son who had to undergo the anguish of being
laid out upon the altar. I have offered the interpretation of my mentor, Rav
Moshe Besdin, who explained that Abraham received the command directly from God,
which made his acquiescence almost understandable; Isaac is even more
praiseworthy, because he only heard the command from his father, yet he was
still willing to submit himself to the sacrificial act. In doing so, Isaac
becomes the paragon of the ideal Jewish heir, who continues the traditions of
his father even though he cannot be certain of their truth because he himself
has not heard the Divine command.However, Isaac is not the only biblical
model of a continuator among the founders of our faith. What about Abraham, the
very first patriarch, who is pictured by the midrash as well as by Maimonides as
a rebellious and a revolutionary iconoclast? Abraham's father, Terah, was a
prominent Chaldean idolater, a leader of the royal council, a purveyor of idols
and idolatry. Abraham – as a result of his own reasoning and his individualistic
understanding, smashed his father's idols and ideals in favor of his newly
discovered vision of ethical monotheism.I would submit that the
midrashic and Maimonidean picture of Abraham the iconoclast, the breaker of his
father's idols, is not the only possible understanding of the patriarch's early
life; indeed, a careful reading of the biblical text might very well lead us to
an opposite conclusion. Maimonides seems to base his acceptance of Abraham as
the midrashic rebellious son upon the fact that the Bible is
uncharacteristically silent about why God suddenly commanded Abraham to leave Ur
of the Chaldees for the unknown land which God would show him (which turned out
to be Canaan) and considered him worthy of becoming a great nation and a
blessing for the world. Why Abraham? Maimonides concludes that Abraham must have
discovered ethical monotheism through his own rational thinking and therefore
merited God's election. However, this is not a necessary conclusion. The last
verses of the portion of Noah, which identify Terah as the father of Abraham,
Nahor and Haran, also record that "Terah took his son Abram, and Lot, the son of
Haran, his grandson, and his daughter-in-law Sarai… and they departed with them
from Ur Kasdim to go to the Land of Canaan; they arrived at Haran and they
settled there… and Terah died in Haran" (Gen. 11:31, 32).Why must
scripture tell us that Terah had originally set out for the Land of Canaan if he
never reached it because he died on the way in Haran? The Bible will soon record
a fascinating meeting between Abraham and Melchizedek, king of Shalem
(Jerusalem, capital city of Canaan, see Ramban ad loc), and the text goes on to
identify him as a "priest of God Most High" to whom Abraham gives tithes (Gen.
14:18, 19, 20). Is it not logical to assume that there was one place in the
world where the idea of a single God who had created the world and created the
human being in His own image was still remembered from the time of Adam, and
that place was Jeru-Shalem, Canaan, Israel? And if Terah had left Ur of Kasdim
to reach Canaan, might it not have been because he wanted to identify with that
land and with that God of ethical monotheism? And if Abraham, Terah's son, had
joined his father in the journey – while Nahor had not – may we not assume that
Abraham identified with his father's spiritual journey even though his brother
did not? From this perspective, we understand why this story is followed by
God's command to Abraham: Conclude the journey you began with your father and
reach the destination, and perhaps the destiny, which unfortunately eluded
him.We now can similarly understand a heretofore difficult verse at the
conclusion of God's Covenant Between the Pieces with Abraham, wherein He
guarantees the patriarch "you will come to your fathers in peace and will be
buried in a good old age."To which of Abraham's fathers will he come in
peace after he dies? Which direct ancestor of Abraham was righteous? According
to the version we have just suggested, the verse refers to Terah, who repented
in his journey to Canaan.Abraham, then, emerges as the true continuator
of his father's mission. The biblical message, through the lives of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, is that it behooves us to continue in our parents' footsteps
and to pass down the mission of ethical monotheism from generation to
generation. Indeed, we must even attempt to improve upon their vision and
accomplishments and to take proper advantage of the new possibilities the unique
period in which we live may provide for us.The writer is the founder and
chancellor of Ohr Torah Stone Colleges and Graduate Programs and chief rabbi of
