However, many freshwater fishing sites in Otago are showing signs of environmental degradation due in part to continuing agricultural development, especially the increasing intensification of land use through dairy farming. Stricter requirements for controlling the flow of contaminants into waterways have been proposed and are under discussion. Implementation of stricter requirements will impact farming costs, but provide benefits for anglers and other recreational users. Estimating the economic values of the freshwater recreational angling is an important input to decisions about rules to maintain or improve water quality. Information about angler travel costs and fishing activities was collected via an on-line survey, and a travel cost method was applied to estimate the economic value of access to Otago freshwater recreational fisheries by domestic anglers. The estimates of that value in terms of consumer surplus fall in the range of $88 million to $130 million per annum. In addition, anglers who fished in back-country fisheries enjoyed higher consumer surplus than anglers who fished at river or lake fisheries. These estimates are reasonably comparable with estimates using similar methods with data from other areas in New Zealand and around the world. 2015-04-08T01:04:39Z The practice of everyday life performed away from home: A reflexive ethnography of a group tour Scott, David George http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5557 2015-04-28T09:51:19Z 2015-03-20T02:37:08Z The practice of everyday life performed away from home: A reflexive ethnography of a group tour 2015 Scott, David George The 'idea' of tourism, often understood as an escape from day to day life at home, means that the mundane performances and spaces of everyday life within the tourism experience are rarely considered. In this thesis I demonstrate that by exploring these mundane spaces and practices, a better understanding of the identity performances of individuals whilst away from home can be gained. Taking a reflexive ethnographic approach, this thesis looks at 'tourist' identity and everyday life through the lens of the fully inclusive group tour. The thesis is founded in a 'reflexive' interactionism; the relationship between the external world and my internal knowledge of it, where encounters whilst travelling with social objects, both human and more-than-human, inform the narratives. In going on, and participating in, an inclusive group tour I illustrate how mundane aspects of everyday life are performed 'elsewhere'. Throughout the thesis, I present an insider's view of the performance of this everyday life and so position myself as both subject of the research as well as researcher. As such, in this thesis I engaged my own culturally and socially situated subjectivities, which alongside encounters with others, resulted in a critical appraisal of self and identity. The thesis uses (im)mobilities to focus upon three specific spaces of identity practice. First, I look to the representational characteristics of the tour brochure and the images and texts of everyday life. In doing so, I explore representations of everyday life elsewhere and the construction of a tourist imaginary. Second, I explore the everyday encounters and performances of social actors engaged in a fully inclusive group tour, specifically on board the coach. Through this, I examine how social space is implicated in negotiations between the individual-as-tourist whilst also constructing a temporarily mobile community. Third, I look to how spaces of touristic consumption, for example the comfort stop, are re-constructed through the performance of everyday day life whilst on tour. I show that in order to maintain an individual's ontological security (for example the ability to make 'sense' of daily life) away from home there is a necessary commodification of daily life. Often, as a result of this, the social actor is unproblematically identified and suggested as performing the individual-as-consumer. However, in examining the banal spaces of daily life within an inclusive group tour, I suggest that seemingly ordinary practices of daily life offer the possibility to re-enchant the rationalised 'commercial' world in and through which the tourist unreflexively moves. I conclude by bringing these three specific spaces of identity practice together and suggest that the performance of everyday life elsewhere problematises identity. Rather than the simplistic performance of the 'tourist', the individual is found to simultaneously construct and perform multiple, often contested, identities. In centring daily life of the individual so the myth of tourism as the escape from everyday life is challenged. 2015-03-20T02:37:08Z International school trips: A critical analysis of multiple stakeholder perspectives Campbell-Price, Margaret Alison (Margie) http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5464 2015-04-28T09:31:50Z 2015-02-16T03:15:42Z International school trips: A critical analysis of multiple stakeholder perspectives 2015 Campbell-Price, Margaret Alison (Margie) For many decades school groups have actively engaged in experiences outside the classroom. More recently, school-led tourism has expanded to include international school trips especially undertaken by schools in developed, (Western), neoliberal nations. Whilst these trips traditionally focused on foreign language and cultural learning they have diversified to include a wide range of curriculum-related subjects and extra-curricular activities. However, the growth in participation in these trips has not been matched by academic attention or analysis. This thesis addresses the dearth of research by exploring the justifications, motivations and experiences behind international school trips and how learning is perceived and positioned within these trips. The inclusion of the active voice of multiple stakeholders (i.e., young people, their parents and school leaders) is a new way of appraising international school trip experiences. This qualitative study involved twenty-three focus group interviews (six with parents, nine with young people and eight with school leaders), carried out in six New Zealand secondary schools that had groups either preparing for or recently returned from an international trip. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and three global themes relating to the aim of the thesis were identified. The findings corroborate the existing literature that learning is an integral part of international field trips and illustrate a detailed understanding of the nature of learning within these experiences. All three stakeholder groups used learning, at least in part, to justify taking part in these experiences. The thesis goes beyond the current literature by suggesting that it is through the formal and informal structures, along with the relationships that evolve in the social spaces of these trips that young people are empowered to personalise their learning. Although each stakeholder group referred to the prescribed learning that was expected through an international school trip, the learning that was gained was attributed to the 'sum of the parts' of the whole experience. The findings have enhanced understandings of what rewarding international school trip experiences look like. This thesis concludes by highlighting three main points. Firstly, there are similarities between the motivations for school-led trips and the wider tourism phenomenon. Secondly, it is extremely important to capture a multiple stakeholder perspective when undertaking research that involves the active engagement of young people, their parents and school leaders with an international school trip. This thesis has shown that there is considerable overlap of perspectives between stakeholders even though they might express it differently. Finally, the thesis suggests that the longer term impacts of the formal and informal learning experienced on these types of trips has been overlooked and needs further attention. 2015-02-16T03:15:42Z Developing the Hospitality Industry Organizational Culture Scale: A New Zealand Case Study Bavik, Ali http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5388 2015-04-29T20:53:49Z 2014-12-11T21:40:55Z Developing the Hospitality Industry Organizational Culture Scale: A New Zealand Case Study 2014 Bavik, Ali Defining and measuring organizational culture is of paramount importance to organizations. A strong organizational culture could potentially yield a sustainable competitive advantage. However, achievement of this is likely to be challenging to managers because a great deal of ambiguity surrounds this concept. Indeed, a review of the literature finds the scope of organizational culture to have been defined differently across various disciplines and industries, and this has resulted in the development of various scales for measuring and defining organizational culture. This thesis argues that the diversity in scales that have been previously developed for assessing organizational culture may not be fully applicable or appropriate for use within the hospitality context. Therefore, by highlighting the key factors affecting the business environment and the unique characteristics of the hospitality industry, the purpose of this thesis is to identify the scope of organizational culture, specifically within the hospitality industry, as well as to introduce a tailored organizational culture scale, which is aligned with the hospitality context. The research for this thesis employed a multidisciplinary and mixed-method research approach in order to develop a new organizational culture scale for the hospitality industry. The findings suggest that the hospitality industry has unique cultural characteristics that are distinguished from similar industries. The findings also suggest that cohesiveness is the most important cultural element of the hospitality industry. This thesis also makes recommendations with regards to how this newly developed scale can be used by the hospitality industry as a means to assess and strengthen organizational culture within organizations in this industry. 2014-12-11T21:40:55Z Tourism, female entrepreneurs and gender: Crafting economic realities in rural Greece Bakas, Fiona Eva http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5381 2015-04-28T09:46:25Z 2014-12-10T02:13:31Z Tourism, female entrepreneurs and gender: Crafting economic realities in rural Greece 2014 Bakas, Fiona Eva This thesis utilises feminist economics theory to investigate gender and tourism development by exploring the economic relations associated with the services that maintain human life. Often, tourism development programs with a gender focus attempt to promote women's involvement with tourism by encouraging them to produce handicrafts for tourism retail. However, female tourism entrepreneurs face unique challenges such as seasonality and 14-hour days which affect how they negotiate the activities needed to reproduce human life on a daily basis, and inter-generationally, which include household duties. These activities, referred to in political economy literature collectively as 'social reproduction', are used here as a lens through which to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship and gender roles and relations within tourism development. This relationship is investigated using participant observation and interviews held with tourism handicraft entrepreneurs in Greece from June to December 2012 and thus in the context of a macro-scale economic crisis. Thematic analysis shows that the type of tourism development affects entrepreneurship bringing to the fore the importance of time in gender role negotiations as collective entrepreneurs re-distribute time amongst themselves rather than intra-generationally, thus prompting for less gender role negotiation than individual entrepreneurs. Indeed tourism-induced time scarcity adds value to social reproductive activities, whilst women use 'domestic inaction' as a negotiation tool to achieve an equal distribution of economic activities. The identification of a liminal gender re-negotiation period at the end and beginning of the season that prompts seasonal gender role negotiations adds an interesting dimension to the perceived impacts of seasonality. In addition, the economic crisis is prompting women to 'recruit' their husbands into handicraft tourism entrepreneurship as a solution to male unemployment, the gender implications for which are discussed. Future research could benefit from investigating men's and children's roles in tourism entrepreneurship and how these act upon negotiations of gender roles. Finally, this study raises methodological questions regarding the knowledge constructed in participant observation that includes a pedagogical element. 2014-12-10T02:13:31Z The Post-War Reconciliation Process Of New Zealand Vietnam War Veterans Dorsey, Maria http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5378 2015-04-28T09:46:17Z 2014-12-10T01:48:24Z The Post-War Reconciliation Process Of New Zealand Vietnam War Veterans 2014 Dorsey, Maria Contact is an essential component in addressing prejudice, resolving conflict and improving intergroup attitudes and relations. War encourages prejudice, stereotyping and dehumanization between military combatants. In order to reduce these negative affects within a post-war context, intergroup contact serves as a mechanism which rehumanizes the enemy, facilitates reconciliation and generates peace. Intergroup contact plays a prominent role in psycho social healing and the reconciliation process with self and others in post-war environments. This thesis assesses the impact of contact on reconciliatory processes at home and abroad. In particular it looks at the ways in which New Zealand Vietnam veteran visits to Vietnam after the war assisted a range of self-other reconciliation processes with the Vietnamese and with self. A triangulated approach was applied to the data collection by drawing on primary and secondary sources in order to study reconciliatory processes amongst New Zealand Vietnam war veterans. Through utilizing qualitative research methods of document analysis and 23 in-depth interviews the thesis concludes intergroup contact plays a vital role in self-other reconciliation processes. Furthermore, an analysis of New Zealand Vietnam War veterans who have and have not returned to post-war Vietnam was conducted to determine the effect of these visits on the reconciliation process. The three themes that emerged from the collected data were focused on the importance of contact for reconciliation with the Vietnamese, fellow countrymen, and with self. Reconciliation with countrymen was an important component of Veterans dealing with the negative reputation they suffered for serving in Vietnam. While post war contact was an important part of this process it was also affected by public reception, government actions and eventual acceptance by veterans from preceding wars. Reconciliation with Vietnamese was affected by the veterans' military role in the war and contact experiences with the Vietnamese people during and after the war. The process of reconciling with self was influenced by acceptance of one's role in the war and positive contact with others. This thesis demonstrates that intergroup contact plays an integral role in the facilitation of psycho-social healing and the processes of reconciliation. These findings hold theoretical importance in terms of providing greater understanding of the relationship between intergroup contact, tourism and post-war reconciliation. 2014-12-10T01:48:24Z Novel Destinations: Dunedin City of Literature - Best seller, or write off? Lowe, Emma Louise http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5076 2014-10-28T19:46:14Z 2014-10-28T19:45:37Z Novel Destinations: Dunedin City of Literature - Best seller, or write off? 2014 Lowe, Emma Louise The literary city is by no means a new concept, but is evident throughout history. As a social construct it has provided a stage upon which literature has been performed for generations, with tourism offering a launch pad upon which many cities today define themselves. In 2004, UNESCO launched the Creative Cities Network, within which the City of Literature would allow cities with a literary pedigree to harness its strengths amongst other similar cities worldwide. In doing so, it was suggested that creative tourism would be generated, adding a new creative element to the traditional concept of literary tourism. This research investigates the role literary tourism plays in defining the city space by employing a qualitative, epistemological technique, through which a series of thirteen interviews with professional stakeholders from Dunedin, seeking to respond to the statement "Dunedin: City of Literature, Best seller, or writer off?" 2014-10-28T19:45:37Z Community-Based Tourism And Language Revitalization In Haida Gwaii, Canada Whitney-Squire, Kelly http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5006 2015-04-28T09:26:41Z 2014-10-01T02:01:18Z Community-Based Tourism And Language Revitalization In Haida Gwaii, Canada 2014 Whitney-Squire, Kelly The consequences related to the loss of the worlds indigenous languages are not fully understood–the warnings as to the urgency of this issue largely unheeded, due in part to the enormity and challenges of regaining lost ground. The extreme nature of the problem as stated by the Endangered Language Fund is that, "never have we faced the massive extinction that is threatening the world right now…the cultural heritage of many people is crumbling while we look on" (cited in Crystal, 2002, p. vii). The progressive loss of spoken language is complex and exacerbated by a number of historic and present day factors, most of which relate to the number and age of speakers, the presence of a dominant language, and globalizing economic factors. Today, fewer than 40 fluent speakers remain in Haida Gwaii; all are over age seventy-five. Efforts to maintain and revitalize languages focus predominantly on the use of immersion and other programs within the education system as a means of exposing children and youth to their language and encouraging the use of language within the home as a means of fostering the inter-generational transfer of language. Within this broad context, the use of tourism to support language development and language revitalization is an emerging field of inquiry. The link between tourism and language development, made by linguists such as Victor Golla, who posits that tourism might well provide the political, economic, and cultural rationale to support language communities. Drawing on linguistics and tourism studies, this thesis posits that community-based tourism initiatives provide a culturally relevant setting to support the development and revitalisation of indigenous languages. Foundational to achieving this is an understanding that the effective use of tourism for this purpose is dependent upon supporting multi-dimensional language relationships within and outside the speaking community. This study draws on the perspectives of the Haida (people in British Columbia, Canada) to develop a deeper understanding of historic and present day language use within community-based tourism contexts. Further, the shared experiences and insights of those with knowledge of language and tourism issues in Hawaiʻi and Aotearoa New Zealand were sought in order to expand the scope and depth of this discussion. Their experiences and insights provided culturally relevant feedback to the Haida through the development of a cross-cultural method that linked these diverse communities to the foundational study site of Haida Gwaii. The study incorporated an indigenist methodology, drawing on participatory and narrative approaches, as a means of researching language and tourism issues with the Haida community. Informal and narrative interviews and participant observation were used to draw on the individual and collective knowledge of participants on indigenous language use within tourism. Forty-four interviews were completed: 23 in Haida Gwaii, 10 in Hawaiʻi, and 12 in Aotearoa. Broadly, 23 participants were involved in the tourism industry, 11 were traditional knowledge keepers or cultural experts, and 11 were linguists or language advocates. The Haida's creative and innovative efforts to expand the use of their language within tourism led to this exploration of how the community is currently supporting language within these contexts. While the link between tourism, language, and community is tenuous, there is a small but growing body of literature to suggest increased visitor interest and awareness within the industry that language is critical to sustaining indigenous cultures. What is absent from the literature is a clear understanding of how to reposition indigenous languages appropriately within community-based tourism and tourism related contexts. To this end, the research conceptualizes a language-based tourism framework to guide language development and revitalization based on why the language should be used, how the language should be used, and what must be done to share the language appropriately. 2014-10-01T02:01:18Z

What a great apartment!!
Very spacious and light, comfortable from every point of view.
Looking at these pictures (probably a very distorted look
compared to the 3D reality of the thing) I find that such high
ceilings with that long stretch of empty white walls give me a
feeling of nakedness…, could it be possible that we are getting
away (aesthetically) from high ceilings due to the almost universal
preponderance of low ceilings??
Human brains can be brainwashed so easily…
And I, fiercely, HATE low ceilings…

New Hope Motel in the Woods: New Hope Motel in the Woods
The New Hope Motel in the Woods is very cute place not too far out of town, about a 1/4 mile. As the name implies, the motel is located in a woodsy setting. All of the rooms are ground level and are spread out in about 4 different buildings on the property. They have a heated pool, a little pond and the "Covered Bridge Lounge". The accomodations are nice. The rooms are rustically decorated with wood paneling and artwork that depicts scenes of the area. The only thing I would recommend is to bring your own pillow, theirs left something to be desired( I still have a bit of a crick in my neck!) Pets are allowed with advance booking There is a 2 night minimum on the weekends, 3 nights for holiday weekends.

Now this a truly dark picture. At first, it was the guy's skeleton coming out from under his skin. The skin, however, seems to have its own set of teeth. Whatever's it's awesome all the same. I don't know why there's so much negative space at the top. It seems to look like a halo!
I guess that creates great contrast. This reminds me of Creepypasta villains like the rake. The fact that part of its body is in shadow makes it all the scarier. It's fun to just try to make out its body! Congrats on making something so good.

And I know you've heard this a million times already, but he feels like something from Resident Evil or Dead Space. Actually, it feels like something from H.P. Lovecraft. Only he would get that dark and horrifically detailed about a monster.
I don't mind the resemblance. It's actually quite an honor to be pegged with that style as I would like to work for the guys who made dead space some day.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess and a handsome prince. The prince asked the princess for her hand in marriage, and she said no. So instead of wasting his time on a quest to change her mind, he spent the rest of his life riding motorcycles; dating girls half his age; drinking as much whisky as he liked; [accumulating all the technological junk that he liked]; and generally having a great time --- and he lived happily ever after.

A lot of the apps I have 'purchased' (like the excellent offroad/walking mapper Maverick) have no significantly increased functionality when paid for.

... can be horrible. My wife had a stroke. I had to use a card that I hardly ever use while she was in the hospital and I was trying to get there in a hurry. Bought some stuff in the supermarket for the kids to eat - card ok. Hurriedly filled up nearly empty car before rushing off to hospital - card declined. Bank of course had my mobile, but they didn't ring it. And they weren't answering their phones either. Thankfully I found enough cash down the back seat to pay. In the supermarket you can blush, apologize and walk away, but at the petrol station you are out of options and immediately treated as a criminal.
Ah, sorry I explained that poorly. What I meant was:
If I, in the UK, buy a camera from a company in Singapore, they make some profit and I make a saving. Their profit is taxed in Singapore as corporation tax. I have to pay VAT on the camera, and that goes to the UK. If I am a reseller, I charge VAT on the sale, and reclaim the VAT on the purchase. I therefore pay UK tax at the UK VAT rate ON MY PROFIT, regardless of my revenue.
If, for taxation purposes, a virtual product were still a product, as in your example, the UK company would pay corporation tax, at the same (UK) rate, on their profits, regardless of where their sales occurred. The Australian buyer pays sales tax at the same rate he would if he were buying in a store in AUS.
Now, if a UK subsidiary company choose to operate at a loss by paying a huge royalty fee to a parent in a nation with lower corporation tax, that would still be allowed. But they have to pay VAT on the 'virtual product' which is a 'licence to trade under that name for one year' and, because they obviously don't sell this licence onwards, they have effectively paid tax, at the VAT rate, on all their profit. If VAT and corporation tax were charged at the same rate, it wouldn't matter whether they declared the UK operating profits as having really occurred in the UK or not, they'd still being paying the same amount.
Again I suspect my simplistic approach is due to ignorance, but I'm interested to know what I am missing.
How about: Amount of tax Rovio owe to Finland = (Amount of business done in Finland / Amount of business done Globally) * Global Profits
They are already paying for the Finnish education system by employing Finns, who pay tax to Finland.
ratfox: "Heck, for all I know, Rovio has a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands which is "managing" Rovio's intellectual property for the whole world, and Rovio is not paying tax anywhere because that subsidiary is their only profitable company anywhere in the world." But the Cayman islands would clearly not be where they are making that money, and it should be clear that a loss-making Finnish company whose principle source of expense was a royalty payment to the Cayman islands, is not really making any real loss.
I realize this is naive, but am too naive to see why it is. Can you explain? Is it because there is no real way for the Finnish government to look at that loss-making company and say, "that's really part of the same company that's making a huge profit over there"
firstly, I don't understand the politicians calling it morally questionable. Listed companies have a *duty* to maximize their profits.
secondly, politicians write the laws, and it this case, it appears they are even thinking of doing something
Given those two points, why is it acceptable for UK politicians to complain about this sort of practice whilst they do nothing about it, preferring to enact more pettifogging unnecessary legislation on other issues?
And why is it so complicated? Take the example given by ratfox: " if an Australian resident on a British website clicks an ad for a German company brokered by an American company, where is the transaction happening?" To me it is clear that the transaction is happening in Australia.
If I buy something on a website in Singapore, HMRC will be after me for the duty as soon as it comes into the country. Surely advertising is just a virtual product? I get that taxing purely on transactions will hit low margin business, but don't understand why the amount of tax payable by a multinational to a nation state isn't just their global profit multiplied by the relative size of their business (i.e. proportion of their revenue) turned over in that nation state.
... you've just been giving thanks for everything you have, then the next day you try to kill each other over cut-price consumer goods?
is a contradiction in terms. You can flatly deny, or perhaps flatly repudiate, but refutation implies proof whilst flatly suggests none has been, or will be offered.
Colin Millar: "Maybe the Guardian will wake up to how pisspoor some of its employees are..."

... and write "aren't we all" on the dots for 'Other'

... fundamentally, the problem with spreadsheets is that you are trying to do matrix operations on a cell-by-cell basis. Lotus Improv had this sorted years ago. Instead of having, price in the A column, quantity in the B column and the 'C' column containing '=An*Bn', with a special case in row 1 which contains the title headings, you have columns called price, quantity and subtotal, with the single rule 'subtotal=price*quantity'.
If you want to see how a spreadsheet really should work, I exhort you to download a 30 month trial of Quantrix Modeller, the intellectual descendant of Improv, and blow your mind with it.
But it isn't just limited understanding of Excel that contributed to the financial crash. I have seen some amazingly stiff (in the technical sense) models using Monte Carlo integration (not in itself a bad thing) but which produced incredibly fragile results (where the outputs where extraordinarily, or even chaotically, sensitive to the inputs). And yes, they were used for trading decisions.
Not saying it in anyway means that the O/S provider shouldn't have had proper explorer functionality, but I get round it by keeping a copy of this handy. I think M/S and even some of the Linux Distros could learn a lot from how this great piece of Windows software works.
What on earth do the people who draw up these agreements think they're doing? They think they are our lords and masters, that's what. Do you think for a moment that we could tie CEOs to particular organisations the same way without a shitstorm about how the economy needs them to be free to move from company to company?
The fact that they realise how bad that would be for them, and indeed the very principles of free-market capitalism, means that the only explanation for them trying to bind us to our corporate masters is that they actually think they are a different class of people to us. Well, maybe they are, but probably not in the way they think they are.

"Office work is just about impossible under those conditions, though - guess he'll be spending a few years after school in one of the no-internet, unskilled labor professions."
I love the idea that office work is 'skilled'. I've met six people with real skills this morning that could easily survive with no internet: builder, plumber, electrician, saddler, farrier, agricultural mechanic. On the other hand a zombie apocalypse would expose me and most of my colleagues as having very few real skills.

Everything else, including yahoo, google talk, and messenger, went quiet over that period.

So glad someone mentioned TS2. Great music, brilliant sense of humour, huge replay value - especially with the mapmaker functionality.

Ben Cherington's work week never ends. That much is already obvious, but the Red Sox' monster weekend deal served as a reminder. In a franchise-altering, history-making trade, the Sox sent Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto to the Dodgers, which alleviates Boston of more than $250 million in player salaries. Cherington started off his Monday morning with an appearance on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan and, as you might have expected, the megadeal was a hot topic. Cherington is excited at the position the Red Sox are now in following the deal, although he was also quick to...

Patrons frolic across the park's two outdoor mini-golf courses before practicing their aim in a laser shootout game, and children ages 10 and younger scramble their socked feet over slides and rides inside the Kids Korner indoor play area.

Lazer Xtreme Family Amusement CenterRead MoreAn opening in the rock face slides open, and the warriors pour into the bizarre archaeological site. Rough-hewn blocks, cool to the touch, form close tunnels that let fast breaths echo. Light trickles in through a hole in the ceiling, as though something else had gotten here first. Suddenly, the warriors scatter, and adrenaline-tinged shouts drift up through the constant fire of up to 60 laser guns as the explorers tear through the 20,000-square-foot, newly expanded space. As they sprint past shrouded aliens and desiccated palm trees, their suits transmit stats to the outside world, where real-time scoreboards track their prowess and battle-cry harmonies, and plasma monitors display shootouts taking place in the fog-filled arena.13409 Smith RdMiddleburg Heights, OH US

The newly added Cirque Shanghai dazzles eyes with a mammoth spectacle of daring acrobatics and motorcycle daredevilry, while daily Big Cat shows showcase the abilities of rescued tigers from a Sarasota, Florida, animal sanctuary. A collection of carnival fare, such as corn dogs, cotton candy, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and deep-fried baseball caps, rounds out the summer-like atmosphere.6200 Riverside DriveCleveland, OH US

Or, if bumper cars are more you're thing, try whirlyball. During this sport, players race across the floor, attempting to dodge other cars and pass a whiffle ball between them until they can score on a target suspended 10 feet in the air. For a more laid back pursuit, grab your friends and take in a bowling game on the center's private lanes that have automatic scoring, bumpers, and cosmic bowling available.5055 Richmond RdBedford, OH US

Its three-story playground surrounds kids and parents in slides, bridges, and plastic trees, all accented by faux foliage that simulates the gorilla-run play centers of the Amazon. Elsewhere, the glowing eyes of temple creatures peer down at players within a black-lit laser-tag arena. An orchestra of laughter and electronic beeps emerge from within the arcade, which hosts 50 games, including air hockey, skee ball, and racing. To fuel playtime, Amazone's team slings pizza at a snack bar and hosts celebrations within five themed birthday-party rooms. The facility also caters to parents with comfy couches and free WiFi that lets them stream their favorite cartoons.2789 Medina RdMedina, OH US

1998 BMW 328i Q&A
1998 BMW 328i Question: What is the slider part called that is bolted to the bottom of the window?
My window went down and I heard a loud clunk. Then my window wouldn't go up or down. I could still hear the motor engage. I took the door panel apart and found that the spring on the end of the window cable had broken out of the window slider. That piece is the only thing keeping my window from working properly. What is that piece called and where would I find one? - MissyAnnSmith
2 Answers
Answer 1
Window regulator? Not sure if there is a Napa in your area or look at Napa or Rockauto on line There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online - patrick mannion
Answer 2
The dealership calls it a slider for your window regulator. Be thankful its not the regulator. They are better than a hundred dollars. Your sliders cost about 10 to 15 dollars at the dealership. The sliders are only sold at dealerships. Thats why so many people buy new regulators. They do not know. - Lowcountry_shawn

Baked smores in bite size sweets dessert treat recipe chocolate marshmallow party munchies yummy cute pretty unique creative food porn cookies cakes brownies I want in my belly ♥ ♥ ♥
Baked smores in bite size bits -- http://texascottage.bl... .... Tuesday, August 2, 2011 S'more Cups If you ever camped during the summer, you've made s'mores. Here's an easy way to make mini s'mores. I found this recipe on the Pampered Chef website. S'more Cups….. 7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed), 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 6 tablespoons butter, melted 4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided; 12 large marshmallows Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pans from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely. Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 to 60 minutes or until set. Makes 24 cups. Note: Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended. For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate. Each cup has 100 calories and 6 g fat.
Baked Smore Bites!? How simple...okay theres no recipe but Im guessing: crushed graham crackers, with butter pressed into the bottom of a mini muffin tin, a marshmellow popped in it and topped with a hershey kiss or a piece of a hershey bar. Ez-Pz

Recent Lake Santeetlah reviews
"I just returned from a very relaxing stay at this house, and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Lake Santeetlah, especially if you prefer charm and a homey feel to the character-less 4-story vacation mansions that have increased in number on Lake Santeetlah in recent years. My boyfriend and I were looking to spend a relaxing long weekend on the lake, and this house gave us a great home-base for lots of hiking in Joyce Kilmer and Slickrock Creek, and some time playing on the lake. The house itself is the perfect size for a couple or a smaller family. It has two floors, with a living area and bedroom on both floors. We primarily used the top floor, since it was just the two of us. But we easily could have invited another couple along with us, and they would have had the privacy of their own bedroom and kitchen-esque area. The feature we most enjoyed was the covered deck, which had a couple of rocking chairs, a swinging bench, and a picnic table. It rained off and on one of the weekend we were there, and it was so wonderful to be able to sit out, watch the rainclouds come in over the lake, and then listen to the rain fall while having a romantic dinner outside. The easy lake access was also really wonderful. We rented a jetski from Deyton Camp one of the sunny days we were there (which, by the way, I would highly recommend--the husband and wife team running Deyton Camp are really wonderful people). We were able to dock the jetski at the house and take about an hour break for lunch. A note for people traveling with young children or who are unsteady--the dock is a more traditional wooden dock, and so the ramp up to the dock is a bit slick where it meets the water. We managed it just fine all weekend without any tumbles, but it is worth being mindful of! Barbara was also really responsive during our stay. We called her twice with some questions, and both times she called us back almost immediately. Before going she was very patient with my questions and gave us all the information we needed. I really cannot say enough kind things about Barbara, and her home was almost as wonderful as she was. I'll definitely be checking back in with her the next time we come back to Lake Santeetlah."Guest: Julia R. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 11, 2014View listing
"We had a great time at this house. The house is very comfortable and in fine shape. The pictures of the house/lake/property are all accurate. The only reason i knocked a star off was because the pictures don't show the lower bedroom which is essentially a sort of musty basement. Not a huge deal, but the pictures on this site seem to not show it anywhere which is slightly shady. We had one very minor issue (no wifi password) and the owner was very speedy to correct it, which is always appreciated. Having a canoe to use was an awesome perk. We explored all over the lake in it. The dock is great for hanging out on and the deck is fantastic! It's huge and the view is incredible, i can't stress that part enough. Also, a flying squirrel was living in the birdhouse west side of the deck, which is always fun to see. If you choose to leave the comfort of the property and lake, things to do in the area are plentiful. Quick and easy drives can take you to excellent creeks to play in, waterfalls to view, and beautiful old growth forests to hike in. We stayed here for 5 nights in the summer and I think we only saw 15 boats (maybe) and half of those were canoes/kayaks. It's a truly tranquil setting. At the time of writing this (2014) the county that the house is in is the only dry county in all of NC. If you like alcohol, bring it in. If you come from the west, it's worth the drive to the east to get your hands on some of the amazing NC craft beer. The only other small thing was that we didn't know what to do with the trash. I think the info folder for the house could use a slight update to correct this, but that's an easy fix. We would (and probably will) rent this house again in the future. Oh, and the furniture is really pretty."Guest: Travis M. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: October 9, 2014View listing
"My wife and I spent several beautiful days at this lakefront gem. The home was clearly very well maintained with well stocked kitchen utensils, comfortable beds, excellent decor and a deck overlooking the lake. We spent many hours relaxing, reading on the deck with the appropriate libation for the time of day and occasion - coffee, tea, cocktail, wine and mostly beer. The kayaks allow lots of roaming around the lake and really give another dimension to the experience. A daily walk followed by a swim and lazing out on the dock made for a very special vacation. We have been very fortunate in renting through VRBO, but this is right at the top. The only dining we could recommend is Snowbird Lodge."Guest: Maltguy Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 8, 2014View listing
"My husband and I just returned from our second stay in this fabulous find. The cabin has been updated a bit since photos taken, with a Franklin stove in the den and lots of wood stacked outside ready for cozy nights. We have visited both times in late fall and didn't use the kayaks, but there are now 4 available and we plan to return in the summer to put them to good use. Cooked every meal on the Big Green Egg and had the most incredible late afternoons on the porch, where it feels like you are perched right on the water's edge. Many rentals come with decks, but not ones so fully equipped and comfy. Candles were even provided if the lake setting doesn't provide enough ambiance! Owners very responsive and easy to communicate with. Love this place!"Guest: christie r. Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 1, 2014View listing

I am a rather novice user of R and have come to appreciate the elegance of ggplot2 and plyr. Right now, I am trying to analyze a large dataset that I can not share here, but I have reconstructed my problem with the diamonds dataset (shortened for convenience). Without further ado:
diam <- diamonds[diamonds$cut=="Fair"|diamonds$cut=="Ideal",]
boxplots <- ggplot(diam, aes(x=cut, price)) + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=cut)) + facet_wrap(~ color)
What the plot produces is a set of boxplots, comparing the price of the two cuts "Fair" and "Ideal".
I would now very much like to proceed by statistically comparing the two cuts for each color subgroup (D,E,F,..,J) using either t.test or wilcox.test.
How would I implement this in an way that is as elegant as the ggplot2-syntax? I assume I would use ddply from the plyr-package, but I couldn't figure out how to feed two subgroups into a function that calculates the appropriate statistics..

So it is, the idea that broadcast television
is obsolete and should be eliminated has
permeated the collective mindset, like Crocs
or pet rocks. There is no discussion about
what the country would look like without the
medium that conveyed to nearly every man,
woman and child in the country that President
John F. Kennedy was felled by an assassin.
Even within the broadcast community,
there are frustrated conversations in general
agreement that broadcast has had its
day. The exasperation is due in part to the
discordant nature of the industry, comprised
as it is of hundreds of businesses of every
imaginable size, all competing among
themselves. Getting them all on the same
page at the same time is virtually impossible.
It doesn't help that the ownership
demographic is almost exclusively older,
white and male, countervailing the medium's
public service justification in terms of
Broadcasting has a lot going against it
right now, including its heavy reliance on
retrans fees. Cable and satellite aren't going
to oppose spectrum reclamation, especially
with cable shedding subscribers. All the
traditional distribution networks are under
pressure, not just broadcasting, which could
but does not promote itself so as not to
further irritate the pay providers, I'm told.
Consequently, free, over-the-air TV's kind of
a secret, and that's too bad, because when
it goes, it's gone. We will all be either at the
mercy of one of two wireless providers, or in
left the dark.
I hope the new FCC chairman has the
gravitas to work for the public, and not
simply as an industry shill. There are
alternatives to the wholesale elimination
of broadcasting, and these should be

Shelves: 2011
Chapter 1 is very interesting. I found it amusing that the Vikings were considered a 'scourge and plague from God' for the sins of the people, especially when the British (or what would be considered British at that time) took "comfort" in a 'smiting from the Lord' upon the Vikings, which was most likely a severe case of dysentery that killed several thousand Vikings. I also didn't know that not only did the Vikings attack London but occupied the English throne for many years during the late 800 ...more

Shelves: gave-up
Vikings! Warfare! Sounds exciting, doesn't it??!? That's what I thought. Alas, rather than following a particular campaign or character or even a tribe, the author skips around throwing out random Viking facts and speculations. These are presented in whatever order made sense to the author (and it certainly didn't to me). For instance, in chapter two, the author tells about a Viking "king" whose desired bride refused to marry him until he united all of Norway. It took him ten years, but he final ...more
Feb 20, 2011 R.Scot Johns rated it 2 of 5 stars
Shelves: kindle, unfinished
Disorganized, random thoughts presented in no real order made it difficult at best to gain a solid insight into any Viking fighting styles and strategies, other than the standard view of the longboat stealth attack. There is a wealth of historical detail presented, but so haphazardly that no coherent sense of time and place can possibly be gained.
Jan 15, 2011 Lindsay rated it 4 of 5 stars
Interesting, and clearly thoroughly researched book on Vikings. It has definitely given me more of an insight than the previous vague idea of 'raping and pillaging'. Also nice to get some history before I go to Norway.
Jun 21, 2011 Morag Gray rated it 3 of 5 stars
Infromative, well indexed and notated study of Vikings, their heroes and their way of fighting. Worth reading, specific enough for the knowledgable, explanatory enough for novices.
