KARNES COUNTY — Some of the roads here are so beaten down that Laura Hahn scraped the bottom of her car the other day when her tires drifted into the deep ruts worn by oil field trucks.
Her boyfriend was nearly hit by a truck recently. And her sister's home and garden in nearby Yorktown is covered by a fine, white layer of caliche dust kicked up by the traffic of the shale drilling boom.
"I'm not a big fan of the trucks," Hahn said. "There are just people everywhere."
There's road damage everywhere, too, with more than $2 billion in annual road repair needs across the state because of drilling activity — about $1 billion for damage to state roads and $1 billion for city and county roads, according to Texas Department of Transportation estimates.
And across a 20-county swath of rural South Texas where oil and gas production has gone into a round-the-clock frenzy, officials are struggling to manage crumbling roadways on limited budgets.
At least one DeWitt County official believes the state should be reinvesting some of the tax money it receives into road repair funds for Eagle Ford counties.
At a recent meeting in Laredo of TxDOT's Task Force on Texas' Energy Needs, interim executive director John Barton said everything from the weight of the trucks and increased traffic counts to trucks hitting bridges is wearing out roads and bridges faster than expected.
"The challenge becomes, can we afford that?" Barton asked.
Rural roads designed for light traffic now are handling thousands of trucks per day, some weighing more than 170,000 pounds, he said.
And the number of vehicles needed to bring one well into production — about 1,184 loaded trucks — has the equivalent impact of 8 million cars.
Naismith Engineering Inc. in Corpus Christi did a study for DeWitt County, between San Antonio and Victoria, that calculated the county's nearly 400 miles of roadway inside the shale play needed more than $400 million in repair work to be able handle heavy trucks.
"Some of these roads will bounce you right off the pavement it's such a rough ride," said David Underbrink, president of Naismith Engineering. "They're really caught with lots of issues to try to keep the road system going."
DeWitt County Judge Daryl Fowler is trying to build a coalition of oil- and gas-producing counties, as well as oil and gas companies, in advance of the 2013 Legislative session.
He hopes a slice of the state's severance taxes, which are paid on oil and gas production, can help with road repairs. That money now goes into the state's Rainy Day Fund and the Permanent University Fund.
DeWitt County will collect about $3.6 million more in property taxes this year than last year, but Fowler said that doesn't begin to address the road needs.
The county also has collected about $2 million so far through voluntary agreements with oil and gas companies that are paying $8,000 per well toward road repairs.
Across the play, ad hoc repair agreements have become common. Companies contribute loads of cement, cash or a truckload of gravel to a project, while the county brings the workers to do repairs on a stretch of road.
But Fowler said it's not a long-term solution for road fixes, and he noted that between March and August, an estimated $71 million in state severance taxes came from DeWitt County production.
"The issue I have with that is that money is leaving here and going there," Fowler said. "It's cost free to the state. We're suffering to the damage."
But Fowler knows that asking the Legislature for money won't be easy.
"But the state leadership ought to realize that they cannot ignore the goose that's laying the golden eggs," he said. "If the state doesn't have good roads, it could all come to a standstill."
And yet, Fowler and others also are quick to point out that those damaged roads mean jobs — for which they're grateful.
Some of Hahn's friends have found work driving trucks. And Hahn said most of them have been flipped off by motorists in passing cars — evidently frustrated by the traffic — even when they've pulled over to the side of the road to help a stranded driver.
"They're like, 'I was trying to help,'" Hahn said.
In Falls City, about 43 miles southeast of San Antonio in Karnes County, Busy Beaver convenience store manager Bob Sherman said business at the store and gas station has quadrupled. A new handwritten sign taped to the glass door says "Open 24 Hours" for the first time ever.
He said the side roads and dirt roads of Karnes County have been particularly hard hit by the truck traffic and that "sometimes, it's dangerous on the roads."
"You've got the good with the bad," he said. "It's been a great boost for Karnes County. This Eagle Ford Shale thing has really been a blessing for this county."

Ringer Exclusive: Billy Miller on Charlie's Secret Agenda
The last time we saw Bridget Kelly's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) Narcotics Anonymous sponsor Malcolm Ward (Mike Colter) on Ringer, he was getting tortured and shot up with junk
So who's Bridget to turn to for support? Well, now she's got a hunky new AA shoulder to lean on in Charlie (Billy Miller). But, hey, isn't that a little convenient in this twisty world of twins and murder?
We caught up with Billy Miller — who also plays Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless — to find out just what oh-so-helpful Charlie's got up his sleeve.
In our exclusive Wetpaint Entertainment interview, Billy reveals that at least two of Shivette's many worlds will collide when Charlie meets another major character, weighs in on the possibility of things heating up between Bridget and Charlie, and shares his thoughts on the "mischievous" SMG!
Wetpaint Entertainment: How many episodes will you be in?
Billy Miller: I don't know. I don't know when the writers are going to finish up, but we're still rolling around right now.
Bridget seems like she's looking for support, and now that Malcolm is gone, will she lean on Charlie more?
Well, she had an almost-lapse with her narco addiction and she goes to a sort of far off AA meeting and, lo and behold, there's Charlie, a nice guy looking to help her out. And why not?
Every character on this show seems to have an unknown agenda. What do you think Charlie's is?
That's a good question and a good observation. Most of the show it seems like nobody is who they say they are. I think we're going to have to sit around and watch everybody's secret motivations, especially Charlie's. But I guarantee you it's a good one.
Bridget's last sponsor is getting drugged and beaten up — is that something Charlie will have to worry about?
I hope not, because that looks like it's hard to do.
What's the primary difference between working on a daytime soap and a primetime show?
We move so fast in the soap opera world. We shoot more than one show a day now and we work four days a week. The pace is very rough.
You know, Sarah is from the soap world and there's this sort of ethic where you can come in and you get to play as much as time allows, which is a lot of fun.
It's interesting, primetime has adopted that daytime sort of freedom of ensemble casts and long period storylines. It makes it easier to move from one to another and I was lucky enough to do both.
Some days I shot on both shows. It's going to be fun to be on one show in the morning and another at night.
What's it like working with SMG?
She's awesome. She's a huge part of the reason I have this job. And apparently her mother watched Y&R and that helped a lot [Laughs].
She's super sweet and we had a lot of fun. She's mischievous. She's probably the most guy-ish on the show in terms of having a good time. I remember walking into my trailer and there are pictures of Justin [Bruening, who plays Tyler] in a towel. Everyone's toilets were covered in pictures of Justin in a towel just to say hello.
I got along great. I'm almost convinced that the reason I have a cold is that she somehow found a way to give me one just to pull a prank.
Do you have scenes with any of the other cast members?
I did get to work with Ioan [Gruffudd, Andrew Martin]. So far I've gotten to see a lot of folks. It's a great cast with some extremely strong actors, who are really great to hang out with.
It's a fun set, so much fun. They're great. They work all day long and there's a lot of long nights, which is always fun to see.
What do you think the chances are of a romance between Bridget and Charlie?
Oh … There's always a chance. At least that's what I tell myself. There's always a chance with every girl I meet. [Laughing] Just tell me there's a chance!
Were you a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan?
Absolutely. I mean, come on!

WASHINGTON (AP) The White House is pushing back against criticism that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has leveled against Vice President Joe Biden in a new book.
Gates' memoir is titled "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War." He's quoted as saying Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue of the last four decades.
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden says President Barack Obama disagrees. She says Biden has been a leading statesman and has advanced U.S. leadership abroad. Hayden says Obama relies on Biden's good counsel every day.
Responding to another Gates claim, that Obama lost confidence in the Afghanistan surge, Hayden says the president has always welcomed different views within his team.
Gates served under Obama and former President George W. Bush.

New Hampshire Public Radio has launched a smart experiment that gives the town meeting tradition a digital twist, creating an interactive Town Meeting Map for this week's ballot initiatives. The map includes information that individual towns submitted and related discussions, and so far about 100 of the state's 200 towns are participating.
Jon Greenberg, Executive Editor of NHPR, tells CyberJournalist.net…
For those of you who don't know, on or about March 11th, voters in most NH towns take up incredibly detailed proposals that range from refurbishing the town's fire department tanker for $95,000, to rebuilding the town clock for $29,500, to offering tax exemptions for alternative energy systems, to approving money for land conservation purchases, and so forth. Voter turnout has been a growing problem.
In late January, we decided to see if we could create a Google mash-up that would make it much more convenient for residents to at least see what was happening in their communities. With outreach help from the NH Local Government Center, every town was made aware of a simple web page they could fill out to send us their information. We paid for a little programming to convert that material into town-specific pages, complete with discussion sections, on our web site. Some well timed advice took us to a great free service, Mapbuilder.net, where we could import our data and generate a mash-up which we could then display on our site.
The information we've collected has given us a powerful overview of what the different towns are considering and we've already turned that into on air coverage. We see this is as the first year of an ongoing service, somewhat equivalent to a web page with snow closings. The most active comment site has been the one for the town of Exeter, a place that was the focus of our primary coverage this year. It's not typical but it shows what you can make happen if you put in the effort to empower residents and train them how to write for the web.
Here are some details from Greenberg on how they did this:
We are a pilot station site for American Public Media's Public Insight Journalism system. We used that system to generate the non-public web page where town managers would input data about their towns. That system also gave us a CSV export of that data.
We have a Drupal powered station web site and paid a programmer a few hundred dollar [Editorial comment: Redfin Solutions rules!] to modify our site so that we could import the CSV from the PIJ system. That import would do two main things: Create town-specific pages on our web site; Create the ability to export a new CSV of town data that was specifically designed for the final mash-up.
A friend at PRX pointed me to Mapbuilder.net. This is an awesome free service. [Editorial comment: Mapbuilder.net rules too!] I created the map, imported the CSV from our Drupal site and then our webmaster pasted the necessary code onto a page he created on our site. Everytime we update the data on the map at Mapbuilder.net, the changes show up on our site.
Could this be more elegant? Yes, of course. But not for the chickenscratch money we had available and the quick turnaround. We went from a first discussion to a working site within 15 days and nothing went wrong.
Have you created an interesting online project you'd like to share?

text: oh tonight my newfound easy going attitude was tested. In league tonight we were playing a guy who does some shady things with his teams. First off he insisted on adding a new player (two weeks after the deadline mind you). We called the L.O. and she said go ahead and she'll check into it, because he insisted he has played matches with them this session, just his name wasn't printed on the scoresheet yet (yeah, right). Then he informs us he only has 4 players anyway. So we get to choose who playes twice on their side. Anyway, after their respective matches, other playes leave... leaving behind only a very good three (the only one I wouldn't have picked) to play for a second time. And on top of that she gets to enough balls to get enough conversion points for them to win the match and then shuts down to protect her 3 status. I think our league operator is going to fix it, she did say he is already in some kind of trouble... it just really bothers me the way he did things tonight. Just had to vent to y'all on here. have a good night!

This afternoon I had to bring my brand new 08 Altima to the dealership for them to fix some delivery issues. They are paying for a rental car, and I happened to be waiting at the rental company with another lady who brought her car in to the dealership. She was very pleasant, perhaps late 20s, early 30s, with a young daughter who couldn't have been more than 4. We chit-chatted a tad while waiting our turns to sign the paperwork. She was sweeter than sugar, allowing me to go first. I commented how that seems easy now since her daughter is well behaved, and I'm sure she'll go psycho the second I start, and she'll regret it. She insisted, and I went first. My transaction took about 10 minutes.
While waiting for them to get my car, the young lady began her transaction. Her daughter was very well behaved, and I was quite impressed. The first thing the rental agent asked for was a Drivers License and Credit card. The mom gave him the drives license, but said she did not have a credit card. He said he could use a debit card as well, to which she replied she didn't have that either. She had a bunch of plastic in her wallet, but from my vantage point, it was mostly grocery store cards. Now, perhaps because the dealership was paying for her rental as well, she was being crafty and not getting exposure on her card for the preauthorization. However, it's what she said that literally boiled my blood.
"I don't have a credit or debit card." She began. "We're a one bank account household, and a one credit card household. My husband works, and I stay home with her." She continued, pointing to her daughter. "He has the credit card, we can call him for the number." The agent explained they can't talk cards over the phone due to fraud, adding if the card was in her name or her husbands. "His of course," she said, "why?"
The agent explained that since the credit card was in his name, he would have to sign the agreement as well. She explained that wasn't possible, since he was 2+ hours away working near their home. The agent explained there was nothing that he could do, and nicely moved on to help others. The woman began making panicked and angry phone calls to the dealership, as well as her husband. My car came and I left.
So, I am driving back to my office, and try to dissect this woman's situation. She's in her 20s or 30s. She's got a human being that's dependant on her, her daughter. She drove 2 hours to bring her car in to the shop, and then had to drive 2 hours back. Forgetting the whole car rental situation, how could she put herself in a situation where GOD FORBID there's an emergency, she had better have enough cash, or find someone who'd take a personal check WITHOUT A CHECK CARD OR CREDIT CARD AS COLLATERAL, to help her out of the emergency. Is she that strong of faith that God, or whomever her higher power is, will carry her safely through every situation and never need emergency funds? Or is she that naive and trusting that her husband has total control over her finances. Lord, if it's the later, I hope she reads this. If it's the former, I hope she reads this.
First things first, bank accounts. If you are going to be a 1 account household, that's a personal decision and I recognize that. You may not want a his and hers account, and that's fine. However, make that account JOINT. It's actually called "Joint tenants with right of survivorship", or it was when I worked for Chemical Bank back in the early 90s. That means two important things, one which could have helped this lady. First, it means that in the event something happens and one of the spouses die, the other automatically gets the money. Otherwise, there is at least SOME legal formality that needs to go through to pass the money from dead spouse to surviving spouse not on the account. The other important things is SHE WOULD HAVE HAD A BANK CARD FOR THE ACCOUNT. And since MOST bank checking accounts come with a "Visa" logo on the cash machine card now-a-day, she'd be covered.
Second, think about your credit history. If your spouse is in 100% control of all the money and accounts, you don't exist. That means that while you have simplified your banking life, you've also complicated your credit future. With no established credit history, getting a loan in the future becomes problematic. And while I realize that this is your fairytale and you and your spouse will be forever together and you'll never be divorced and need to get a house, car, or furniture, AT LEAST PLAN! If not for that "negative" possibility, how about for the positive possibility that you may want to apply for a mortgage WITH your spouse in the future. Establish and maintain a credit card, even if you never use it, just to have the file open and working.
Finally, even if it's his credit card, based on his credit score, you can order a card in your name. There's no additional credit check, at least not with Chase and Discover. Both of those banks have issued cards to a second party without ANY information on them, not even a social security number or a credit check. The primary account holder is 100% responsible, of course, but the second person has a card. There may be rules and acceptions to this that I'm not aware of, but my experience was favorable with both.
Ok, It's an hour or so after this event, and I'm still furious with this woman. I know her full name because we discussed it, and I'm tempted to call her and force her to read this blog post. How can a SAHM put herself in that sitatuion? How about you? Who are you going to tell to read this blog post? Let me know, and lord, pass it on!

Being a Suze Orman fan, I think she'd approve of this post. Sometimes people, in their zeal to be extra good, go too far. Not having 20 credit cards that are maxed out is good but not having any credit cards at all is not so much.
food for though…

I'm a SAHM, as I'm sure you already know, and can completely understand your reaction to that woman's situation! I can't even imagine having absolutely no control over my finances. In fact, I oversee everything.
We have joint checking and savings accounts, and every credit card we have, we get one in the other's name. Except for my Apple Mastercard… that one's all mine I hardly ever have cash on me, preferring to use my visa checkcard for rewards points.
My husband brings in the dinero and I decide where it goes. It works for us.

This isn't about credit…it's about control, IMHO. They both enjoy the control and I can relate in a way…My hubby pays the bills. He took over when I was pregnant (had a lot of drama happening & not just in the belly!) and I never took it back.
That said, we have our own credit cards and our own checking accounts. We have a joint checking to pay joint bills with.
Hopefully this woman & her husband realize how dangerous this situation is for the reasons you point out. Hell, get her a card in her name for emergencies, cause baby, that's what she was in.

Sad story but it's hard to know the truth. Personally I kept losing my credit card so ended up cancelling it and now we just have one…the one my husband carries. I do have a debit card for emergencies though and would feel panicked not having that as a back-up.

About 15 years ago, I had gotten into serious credit card debt. When I went for assistance, the credit counselor cut each & every one of my cards, thus forcing me to live only on my cash. He explained that my creditors would not accept any repayment plans if I was still using any of my cards. It was very difficult and I learned to do it. I lived within my means, paid off my debts and began saving. I now have two American Express cards, one for business and one for personal, which I pay off each month.
My father doesn't have a credit card or an ATM card. He has had some difficulties or been forced to get the cash, but his mind is made up.
All I can say is that everyone's situation is different and I'm hopeful she is making these decisions for herself. If her husband is making these financial decisions for her, then that's another story and one which I won't tolerate.

OH… I totally get your frustration with this lady. I hate using credit cards, so I always use my debit, but in this day in age – you need a credit card in your OWN name! Come on… there are times for emergencies you should just have one. And I have been to rental agencies, they make it VERY clear the card must be a credit card. BRAVO!! And tell me her name I will find her!

when first reading this I really got upset but not for the same reasons as you did. I was actually upset with you for assuming that she was just depeding on her husband w/ a one account household. There are always 2 sides to a story and sometimes when you talk to a person in public the story is sometimes shaded and manipulated out of embarasment! I'n sure if she had some really tragic story and didn't want it to be known to others she is going to play it up to a different aspect. perfect example is myself.. (why do i always go about telling all my stories to everyone. hell maybe it will help someone)! I'm not able to get a checking account! No matter how hard I try I will not be able to due to bounced checks. My name is permanently on Chexsystems and they will not do anything to take it off. Unfortunately the reason for the bounced checks was brought on by someone else. A junkie friend of my now ex boyfriends stole checks from me. They used them to buy over $300 of stuff and return them the next day to get cash. They also went and bought tons of cartons of cigarettes and gas all at my expense. They stole an old license of mine and the one girl looked pretty close to me! They did eventually catch up to them and they went to jail. GREAT!!! but it didn't help me out at all. Chexsystems still to this day will NOT help me. So without a bank account (oh and I tried to get onto my boyfriends acct but they check you then also and they check you even when you get a savings acct now too!) I can't get a debit card. so i have NO direct deposit, no acct, no card, no nothing.. My only savior was the prepaid visa/mastercards. I was able to get one of those just recently.
So just remember that its now always what you see and the problems are much deeper… OR she could have a very demanding husband that is violent towards her and she is in denial! (i've been there too).

Right on!
Sounds like this mom needs to listen in on one of my Mom's Freedom calls. (http://www.MomsFreedomCall.com)
Short of it: Mom, if you are not the breadwinner, you can/should be the Family CFO and take charge of your family's finances.
Let's hope the lesson she learned today will get back in the driver's seat. Pun intended.

Wow. First off, I have real issues with people judging the lives of others. Because you don't know everything about her life or why it's set up that way. She may have rich parents that would take care of her if something happened. Who knows.
What if she has friends or family in the area? Then she is one phone call away from someone coming to her rescue or aid. No credit or debit card required. If she is the member of a church she probably has even more local contacts if she gets in a scrape.
Unless you ask her about contingency plans, financial history, and how that crazy marriage of hers works (I can't imagine she'd be willing to share that much with you, but who knows.) Only then would you know enough to make an only somewhat inaccurate judgement regarding someone else's relationship and life choices.
Unless there is abuse or other illegal activity. (Just so you don't think I'm THAT weird zealot. LOL)

Hmm … maybe the SAHM should be the one taking care of all the family banking, and therefore, should be the one with the credit-card control.
My husband likes to tell people that I'm the family CFO (and I work.) But, we do both have our own cards and credit history.

You nailed this one. One more thing about the fairy tale. So you stay married forever and ever, wonderful. What if, heaven forbid, hubby dies. Again, she does not exist. Grief is hard enough without red tape complications. I can admire keeping it simple, but not being unprepared for every possibility. At the very least, your child deserves it.

If nothing else, perhaps the vast inconvenience of this day's happenings (4 hours worth of driving by at least one person and 4 hours of what should be unnecessary driving by another, or the same person depending on how they handled it) will give this family the idea that perhaps a second card, in her name, on the account, might be a good idea.
Forget divorce, think about death. He dies unexpectedly. His name is the only one on the mortgage, on the utilities, on the credit cards and the bank accounts. Maybe she inherits the house, maybe not. Is there a will, do state laws give 2/3 of the money to the children if he is intestate? The cards close, the utilities are turned off. Maybe eventually she gets access to the accounts, in the meantime she has no credit to reestablish those accounts & no money to pay the security deposits for having no credit. The account is frozen awaiting judgment so the mortgage isn't being paid. It's a bad place to be in.

I can totally understand your frustration, just reading about it made me cringe at the thought.
After reading some of the comments I can see some scenarios that I normally wouldn't have thought of and for this poor woman's sake, I hope that it is due to either past problems or her own choice and not her husband being a controlling jerk. Although, in some cases, I know people who need to have their credit cards forcibly taken from them!
Regardless, I think it's sweet that you care. Not too many people actually would allow something like this to bother them because they are too busy with their own life to give another person's a second thought.

You said it perfectly- she is leaving herself in a very vulnerable position, both in case of an emergency, in case of divorce, and for future things like credit. This amount of dependence and ignorance is unhealthy at bst, controlling at worst, and dangerous.

Ya know Matt, the situation is strange to me in several ways. It is very strange BUT maybe the Mom you met today was bad with credit cards and her husband doesn't trust her with the card.
I mean the woman herself should know that she needs a card in case of an emergency. And the Dad should have provided her with a card. Very strange.
What's also weird is that a person can rent a car online with a credit card and they don't have to be present with the card to pick it up. Well, that's true in NY anyway (no also Florida too).
I have seen so many friends go through divorce where their husbands have cleared them out of money. The SAHM should have her own emergency stash and a spare card.
Call her Matt! What's the worst that can happen? She'll hang up on you? Maybe she will take your advice since you are a Dad!

Actually, I'm more perturbed at the lack of customer service at the dealership. If the woman was a long time customer who had purchased a car (or more than one car) there, they should have waived their credit card rules for her.
I had a similar thing happen to me when I took my car in for service a few weeks back (just had my license with me as I was only going to pick up my loaner car and return home). When I told my service advisor I didn't have a credit card or debit card with me he said "don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. We know who you are." Which is exactly what that service person should have done for that woman instead of telling her she was SOL and moving on to the next customer. Customer service sucks these days! And businesses wonder why they can't build consumer loyalty?!
As for finances, every single person has their own way of dealing with money based on their own personal beliefs. I couldn't even begin to comment on the lady in the dealership. One thing I can say is that I'd be offended and annoyed if you called me to discuss what you overheard. No matter how much you said you were calling out of kindness and how pleasant a conversation we had earlier.
The best thing you can do for her is to contact the service manager at the dealership and encourage them to implement a program where they keep a credit card on file for loaners – this way, next time she (and others like her) won't have a problem!

Well, this bothers me, seriously. But first, let me say, I don't know what this lady's deal is…so I don't want to pass blanket judgment. But let's assume she just let's her husband carry the cards. As a long time supporter of women's rights, I am stressed to think that she has handed control of all of her financial doings to her husband. I am also upset that the husband let that happen. I am mad that the dude at the dealership didn't act in a more compassionate manner.
I am the breadwinner in my house, my partner is in school…so a lot of things are in my name…but we have divided it so one of us makes the money and the other manages it. Having a say in the finances is a HUGE deal in a relationship. It is very disempowering to not be treated like an equal…
But I wouldn't call her. She has her own row to hoe, and you yours…she has to live the consequences of her and her husband's decision. And while it was an inconvenience, neither her or her daughter were in physical danger. And that is the great land that we live in…pursuit of happiness is defined very broadly.

First off, don't contact her.
You don't know her and that would come across as creepy and though well intentioned, it's not your place.
You're 100% correct though about her credit peril and that she should have a card in her own name for emergencies and unforeseen situations.
I'm a WAHM and am self-employed so I don't have to worry about falling off of the grid. But, I have several friends who stay at home, earn no income in their names and have no property in their names. They do not see their credit situation as an issue and that worries me.
You're right to be upset if for no other reason than it inspired you to write this and alert other people to an issue that they may never have thought of.

I always had shitty credit and we always had a joint account. HIS credit cards that he had before we got married, I never had copies of, but had I asked, he would have gotten me one. I always had a debit card linked to OUR joint account, even when I was a SAHM. Now that I am on my own, when I am broke, my sister or my mother gives me a card FOR EMERGENCIES since I always have my daughter with me.
She needs to wake up and grow some balls. Her husband needs to stop being such a controlling ass and realize the situation he leaves her in daily.

You are so right.
IF she was able to get all puffy with whomever, on her phone, she's assertive, too.
I had no assets and no income when I applied for my credit cards. I realized that I had no credit history and I did something about it. There is something, BIG, to be said about a credit score, today.
Every one of my creditors would grant a card in another name, with limited information.. most just a name. I have one for my college-aged daughter.
At the same time, that I was establishing this credit, however, I had a husband pissed off that I wasn't asking permission to get a credit card.. so I know control, too.
Everyone has to make their own way.. and be prepared for anything.. because you can wake up and find your fairy tale is just a big bunch of lies. (and I did.)

Let me first say that I try really hard not to judge others' situations. I'm sure others look at me sometimes and think "why is she…" and disapprove.
Now, having said that, I cannot imagine being without a means to support myself or get what I need. Whether I'm working or not, I want to be prepared for any emergency. I'm independent and I value independence. I think the lack of such means makes women overly dependent on the men in their lives, and it sets them up to be victims should those men take advantage of the situation. I think it's unwise to say the least.

Okay, first off if the dealership is paying for the car the rental company DOES NOT NEED ANY FORM OF CREDIT ANYTHING from the lady, the agreement is between them and the dealership.
Secondly she is INSANE for not having at least a Visa or Master Check card with her name on it.
I am always amazed that there are still situations like this out there…where one of the partners has no clue about finances. (I have friends where the man is the one like that…so this isn't limited to dumb women.) But then again I seem to be amazed by more and more lately, either I have been living in a very dark corner or the freaks are now coming out during the day and night.

Well none of us know the true situation…but that being said, I would never, ever let anyone 'control' my situation. I know that in the event of any unthinkable situation I can take care of myself and my kids. In this day and age you HAVE to be able to do that–SAHM or not. If you are a SAHM, you better have a backup plan..because you just never know what life is going to throw at you. Every one of needs to be able to step up to the plate tomorrow and take over every aspect of our lives if need be. Just my two cents, but in my life those are the only ones that truly count.

It is hard not to have strong feelings in this post-modern, post-feminist society. It makes me sad to see women who allow themselves to be in that situation. Then I have to remember a few thing:
1) It's easy to blame things on your spouse when he or she is not there.
2) She may be bad with money and have a lack of self-control when it comes to credit cards. This is why I don't carry one.
3) There are millions of women who let themselves be ruled by men because of religious reasons or just plain laziness.

I'm on the side that you may be reading too much into this one. Many people have problems with credit cards and over-spending. While someone in the family at least needs to have credit for emergencies, if they are doing credit counseling, many will not let them have credit cards!
Also, perhaps the woman understands a spending weakness and therefore doesn't carry a card on purpose. I'm surprised the car rental place doesn't take cards over the phone, but I haven't used one in a while and can't remember if they needed to see my credit card again to pick up an online reservation, or not. I didn't think they did. Drivers license, yes.
Also, she shouldn't have needed a credit card at all if the dealer was paying! That's crazy. When our new car developed a problem, the dealer drove us to the rental place and the car was on their account. We didn't use a card, either.

I agree with your frustrations, and would be curious to hear her side of the story. The true reason why they are a "one credit card" family. Does she have bad credit? Is her husband controlling? Is she living with her head in the sand…not wanting to educate herself or her child about money?
It's situations like this that confirm the need to add basic personal economics to the required course list in high schools. So many students (men and women) head to college with little or no knowledge of how to manage their personal finances…and end up getting deep into credit card debt. Then they carry that debt into marriage and parenthood.

I'm not sure what her situation is, so it's hard to make a call on this one.
I do understand the need for rental car companies, hotels, etc. to want collateral or to be guaranteed payment- but I think its wrong to punish someone that wants to pay in cash.
And although she should have a debit card in her own name, I tried to rent a car in Ohio last month and was told debit cards are not accepted- credit only.
I wouldn't contact her though. If she hadn't gotten the wake-up call before now that she needed to take control of her finances, im sure the inconvenience of being denied a car and having to drive back home did the trick!

hi guys im new to the wii modification scene. After reading this fantastic guide im really interested in redoing my modification.
Last saturday i got my fresh wii and used the banner hack to install bootmii installer 2.0. I believe it has on there, homebrew channel, dvd player, and boot loader. Then in just installed in the apps folder my 0.3gamma app with that cIOS loader that came with it. i think im on ISO249 right now, but there are still some games that do not run well with this 0.3 gamma loader
So here is my question.
I got firmware 3.3u and i didnt bother to update or change any of that. Can o iinstall the preloader/neogamma without upgrading the firmware? or should i just redo everything according to this guide?
Do i need to uninstall my homebrew channel stuff? or should i just continue to install the downgrader and revert the firmware to 3.2?
Sorry im a total newb.
Dogeggs, thanks for the quick reply and for the information. I'm gonna go take the SD card out now and also delete the TP hack file.
Another really dumb question...I'm not quite sure how to use the Neogamma Launcher properly. Some time ago I burned a backup to DVD-R and I stuck that in the drive to try playing it. A menu screen popped up with a bunch of different options, and I'm not sure what settings to use. (I have a 3.2U unit, and the game is Donkey Kong Barrel Blast NTSC burned on DVD-R.) I kept getting a disk read error even after playing with several of the settings.
I'm guessing this is probably due to a bad disc so I'm going to try reburning it. However, I'm wondering if I'm also doing something wrong with those settings on the gamma menu? Should I be able to just stick a backup in the drive and launch the game without touching the settings? If I get a PAL backup, can I just stick it in the drive and launch it as well? I've been trying to find some kind of info on this but can't locate any instructions on how to properly use the NeoGamma launcher anywhere.
Sorry again for such noob questions. I'm very new to the Wii mod scene and am very scared of bricking my machine.
It could be because you don't have the proper cios, or you burn your disk too fast (I suggest 1x). Also, your game might need iso249 patching.
Thanks for the input, guys. I got a couple other backups and burned them (the slowest my burner and media allows is 4x) and they both worked beautifully. I probably just need to reburn that other game.
Thanks again for the advice!
So guys i have a question about preloader, what exactly does it do?
I still have to go into the neogamma and select force nTSC for the games and then load, it was more or less the same as before. Some games like big brain academy, mk armegedon, even super monkey ball still shows up with the green screen if i force ntsc.
Can somebody write a comprehensive guide on how to use preloader/gamma ? what exactly does it preload?
After numerous post and searching. THIS actually help and very detailed. Thanks a lot!

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski encouraged the Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday to allow more electronic devices to be safely used during flights.
The FAA is conducting a review of its rules to determine whether more cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices can be used more widely and safely on commercial flights.
"The review comes at a time of tremendous innovation as mobile devices are increasingly interwoven in our daily lives," Genachowski wrote in a letter to acting FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "They empower people to stay informed and connected with friends and family, and they enable both large and small businesses to be more productive and efficient, helping drive economic growth and boost U.S. competitiveness."

VINCI Airports and Keolis Airport win operating contract for the Clermont-Ferrand/Auvergne airport
Rueil-Malmaison - 21 December 2007
On 29 November, Dominique Estève, chairman of the Nice Côte d'Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), and Park Azur, a VINCI Concessions subsidiary, signed the contract for the business complex to be built for car rental firms at Nice Côte d'Azur airport. The signing ceremony was attended by Xavier Huillard, director and CEO of VINCI.
The contract calls for the financing, construction and operation of a three-storey building with a total surface area of 60,000 sq. metres. The building is designed to meet the needs of the anticipated growth of car rental business at Nice airport, which is already the market leader in France, on a par with Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. The project represents a total investment of approximately €45 million for almost 2,500 parking spaces.
The 32-year contract is in the form of a French lease giving temporary authorisation to use public land and granting real property rights. VINCI's remuneration will come from the rental fees paid by the companies operating in the business complex.
Work will start at the beginning of 2008 and will take 28 months to complete. It will be carried out by a consortium comprising two local VINCI Construction France subsidiaries (Dumez Côte d'Azur, Campenon Bernard Méditerranée) and Miraglia. The architects of the complex are Georges Dikansky and Frédéric Génin.
Success on this contract is attributable to the VINCI Group's diversity of skills, which work together on concession project engineering and operation (VINCI Park and VINCI Airports), together with the strong presence of VINCI Construction France in the region. The new contract confirms the relevance of VINCI's integrated concession-construction business model, as well as the spirit of partnership underpinning its drive to expand in the French airport activity sector.
◄ 01/02/2008
VINCI has acquired a number of blocs of shares in ADP, totalling 3.3 % of the company's capital.
► 12/17/2007
VINCI Park expands further in Germany

Editor's note: Nancy Getman of Schoharie was misidentified in an earlier version of this story.
The most unforgettable image of Tropical Storm Irene burned into Karen Miller's memory is when she looked at her neighbor's house and saw the swing set upright, pinned against a utility pole.
For Larry Caza and his wife, Lillian Spina-Caza, it was the long two-mile walk with a young National Guard member from one end of town to the other to get back to their house. None of them ever fathomed anything like the earth-moving damage of the Aug. 28, 2011 storm. They tried to joke a little to keep the mood light.
Sister Anna Tantsits didn't think anything was terribly wrong that day until she looked out her second-floor window on Main Street.
"I thought I was going to die," Tantsits said. "I could see the headline: 'Nun's body found washed up in Schenectady' or something."
Everyone who lived through Irene or came to help in the months after has a story. They all have one anecdote or memory that sticks out from the rest.
To ensure that these memories are preserved for future generations, Schoharie Area Long Term Recovery (SALT) teamed with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the New York Folklore Society and AmeriCorps VISTA Monday for the first of several storytelling workshops to record and chronicle the tales of Irene.
And it wasn't just recollections of heartache and loss. Held at the Middleburgh Reformed Church, just across the street from the Schoharie Creek that overflowed and ripped through much of the Schoharie Valley during Irene, Monday's storytelling roundtable featured lots of laughs and prideful anecdotes of how this battered region came together to rebuild.
"We have a different understanding of humanity, of our community," said Assemblyman Pete Lopez, who has lived in Schoharie since he was 12 and whose district represents most of the places crushed hardest by Irene.
While tables of locals gathered at tables and swapped their familiar experiences of loss and rebuilding, some went into side rooms and had their stories recorded by volunteers. The idea is to take those taped sessions and both catalog and broadcast them online for generations of New Yorkers. SALT hopes to host at least two more roundtables in the spring.
Wendy Adams of Schoharie wasn't washed out of her home, but sat down for nearly 40 minutes as the stories she saw while volunteering were forever captured on tape. Adams talked about seeing acres of leveled crops in fields, the sights of pickup trucks buried in mud, speaking with grown men who were shuddering from what they had just lived through.
"One woman looked me in the eye and said, 'Do you know what it's like to lose everything?'" Adams recalled.
Many of the people here Monday did in fact lose everything, or escaped only with what they could grab: a bag of clothes, some food from the freezer, a box of keepsakes. Heads nodded as one person after another talked about the surreal images etched into their heads from that day: a speedboat pinned between two buildings, a hot tub washed into a driveway, American flags caked in mud, children's toys trapped 8 feet high in tree limbs.
"These are the things we see when we say we need help," said Peter Schmidt, the Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association president.
After taking one look into her Schoharie home after the storm passed, Nancy Getman became overwhelmed and needed to get away.
"Everything that was in the back room was in the front and turned upside down," she said. "I told my husband, 'I can't deal with this. We need to get away.'"
Getman and her husband then went to Buffalo for a few days just to settle down and figure out how to recalibrate their lives. Their home went untouched in the meantime, leaving their neighbors to think they were either hurt or had no one to help them pick up. The Getmans' house Main Street was without a mountain of ruined belongings out front.
"That's how you would tell who needed help or not," Larry Caza recalled. "You would just go up and down the street and see what house had a pile of stuff out in front and which ones did not."

NotifyDataErrorValidationRule Class
Represents a rule that checks for errors that are raised by a data source that implements INotifyDataErrorInfo.
Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
The NotifyDataErrorValidationRule type exposes the following members.
|Creates a new instance of the NotifyDataErrorValidationRule class.
|Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the validation rule runs when the target of the Binding is updated. (Inherited from ValidationRule.)
|Gets or sets when the validation rule runs. (Inherited from ValidationRule.)
|Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
|Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
|Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo)
|Performs validation checks on a value. (Overrides ValidationRule.Validate(Object, CultureInfo).)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo, BindingExpressionBase)
|Performs validation checks on a value. (Inherited from ValidationRule.)
|Validate(Object, CultureInfo, BindingGroup)
|Performs validation checks on a value. (Inherited from ValidationRule.)
The WPF data binding model enables you to associate ValidationRules with a Binding or BindingGroup object. The NotifyDataErrorValidationRule class is a built-in rule that checks for exceptions that are thrown during the updates of the binding source property. You can provide custom logic to specify how the binding engine handles these exceptions by using a UpdateSourceExceptionFilterCallback. For more information, see UpdateSourceExceptionFilter.
An alternative syntax to setting the NotifyDataErrorValidationRule explicitly is to set the ValidatesOnExceptions property to true on your Binding, MultiBinding, or BindingGroup object. By default, the value of ValidatesOnExceptions is true, so you do not need to explicitly use a NotifyDataErrorValidationRule.
You can create a custom rule by creating a class that derives from ValidationRule. For more information and a detailed discussion of data validation, see Data Binding Overview.

Aquavit is not known for playing well with others. The Scandinavian liquor is flavored with caraway, anise, and fennel, among other herbs, and tastes a tad medicinal by itself. So Jeffrey Morgenthaler of Clyde Common had his work cut out for him when he was asked to create a drink using the spirit, but as always, he rose to the challenge. More
Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Norwegian Wood tastes like a sophisticated jaunt in the forest. Try this one with salty snacks or as an after-dinner quaff, to socialize in style. More

McCarthy's take on a Manhattan makes use of green chartreuse; "The Jacobeans always sided with the French, so my chartreuse drink is named for them." AnCnoc is stirred with Carpano Antica ("the more savory of the sweet vermouths"), a half-ounce of green chartreuse, and a good measure of ice. More

All theses held by the library should be cataloged in HOLLIS.
The Harvard University Archives generally retains all PhD dissertations and senior theses produced at the Harvard College. The Archives collects many master's theses as well, including those for A.L.M. (Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies) degrees and some A.M. (Master of Arts) degrees.
Theses and dissertations produced at the professional schools tend to be archived at the libraries and archives for those schools.
If you can't find a thesis on Pro Quest Dissertations and Theses or in HOLLIS, consider contacting the University Archives or the appropriate library or academic department directly.
