I studied music in college at UT Austin, but the line at the unemployment was too long so I figured I'd choose an alternative career path. Besides, I hate lines. I'm now in my second year of practicing law and I love it. Everyday is completely different, whether it be going to court, taking depositions, or learning a new area of law. It was a long road but I'm finally where I want to be - except for being on this website!

Figure Skater Had The Time Of Her Life In Prison
Nicole Bobek apparently made the most of her short New Jersey prison stay last week, after she was swept up in a statewide meth bust. After just three days in jail, she seems to have been the most popular girl on campus.
Bobek made friends out of everyone at the Hudson County Correctional Center over the July 4th weekend, leading exercise classes and making tube tops for her fellow inmates. I bet they're all glad meth is so addictive, so Nicole could be back soon!

From Aunt Bessie's web presence and the traditional kind of British food she's known for, like steak pies, home-style chips, and baked apple pie, you wouldn't think she'd become a trendsetter in the food arena. But she has created the United Kingdom's first main course on an ice cream cone -- the Banger and Mash Cone.

Taking a leaf out of the book of the restaurant its youth workers shut down, the Congress led UPA government has mandated that all currency notes would now have jokes printed on them instead of the RBI Governor's signature.
"You see #aditirestaurant has been trending for a long time now and no one even knows what our social media portal Khidkee.com is," Congress leader and part time comedian, Digvijay Singh said. "Most people think it is an e-commerce site for selling windows. So we have decided to copy Aditi Restaurant's strategy and print jokes on currency notes to get our message across to the masses."
Mr. Singh shared some examples that the 'Rahul Gandhi sycophants group' on Khidkee.com had come up with for printing on the notes, which included "Pappu chahiye ya Puppy basher? You decide!", "Narendra Modi ko VISA doge toh MasterCard kya karega?" and so on.
Reacting to the strong condemnation from across media quarters to Youth Congress workers shutting down Aditi Restaurant, Mr. Singh said, "The Indian media needs to learn from the UK media and stop fixating on the actions of the Congress party workers only. Look at them! Look at the amount of fuss the English media has made about the royal baby. Our royal baby, Rahul baba, gets almost no press coverage in comparison. You have to see how cute and cuddly he is too!"

I had one instructor who would not accept any work from students if Kodak products were used in its creation. The jerk actually said that to the class at the beginning of the semester. We were asked to bring in samples of our work at the second class meeting, so I brought some of my work to show to him. He really liked on of my shots until I told him it was shot on Tri-X, developed in HC-110 and printed on Polyfiber. He got mad and told me that under no circumstances was I to use Kodak film or paper for my assignments.
He actually checked peoples's contact sheets for edge markings and rejected anything that was shot on Kodak film. You had to shoot on FP4 or Agfapan-100 and develop in FG7 1+15 with water. I finally quit that class because I thought the instructor was a Bozo.
This might be an extreme example, but I know many people who were told not to bother with Kodak papers by their instructors, because Kodak papers were not as good as those offered by other manufacturers. This might have helped contribute to the decline in Kodak paper sales.
I personally liked some Kodak papers very much. I miss Polyfiber and Polymax Fine Art fiber base and Polymax RC (a very good RC paper imho).
I never really warmed up to Mutigrade, although I do use it. I would not hesitate to use my favorite Kodak papers if they were available again.

A Pleasant Stay
We stayed here for one night in a well appointed twin room with breakfast .
We were going to Old Trafford and this was a perfect location, 5 minutes in a Taxi or a twenty minute walk. Room was spotless with TV and tea/coffee making facilities . Full breakfast in the morning which was lovely, with tea or coffee, toast and a variety of cereals. Well worth a visit.

comfortable stay for one night
Lovely place, nice breakfast.
Room comfortable, quiet, only one drawback which was fine for one night but might get annoying on a longer stay - we were on top floor and door to ensuite bathroom was very low (husband's chest height!) with steps down beyond it so had to stop and negotiate step at same time. Would still recommend, as everything else was very good, and rooms on lower floor presumably would not have any similar problem.

Man Utd 3 - Tottenham 0
Used the Thistlewood for a weekend visit to Old Trafford.
Ideal location without paying over the odds to get nearer to the ground. Approximately 40 minute walk to the ground or 10 min walk to the nearest metro station. Hotel was old fashioned but exceptionally clean. Breakfast was delicious and included in the reasonable price. Shower weren't great but was wet and warm. Also about a 5 minute drive to Trafford centre so really can't complain.

The room was a little small for two people not on intimate terms sharing but for one night it was fine.
It was rather warm and the radiator would not turn off. Otherwise it was great, the matresses were about a foot deep and very comfortable. My colleague and I are both Deaf (boarding school means sharing a room is no hardship). I let them know this and requested a TV with subtitles and the gentleman who received us was great, making sure we understood without being patronising and showing us how to get the text on the TV. Breakfast was probably the best I have had in a hotel/guest house type accommodation, so full marks for that. I would return and have already recommended it to other colleagues who may need accommodation in the area. Lovely old house with many of the original features preserved.

5 Reasons to Give Thanks
If you are a regular reader of "Market Musings" you may know, or at least suspect, that although I am now pleased to call the USA my home, I'm not originally from round these parts. I am, however, married to an American and ever since we met in Tokyo, and throughout our time in London, Moscow and Warsaw, we have celebrated Thanksgiving. I like the Holiday. Taking time to contemplate that for which we are thankful is a worthwhile exercise, and anyway, any celebration that involves watching sport on TV while drinking and eating too much is just my kind of thing. If you doubt that, I refer you to my profile picture.
It would seem appropriate then, if a little cheesy, to take this opportunity to look back on the year in the markets and identify some things to be thankful for.
- The Global Recovery Continues: I don't know about you, but to me it is finally beginning to feel like the dark days of 2008/9 are behind us. The credit crunch has been and gone and banks have recapitalized to a large degree. Economies around the World have generally reverted to growth. There has been a couple of wobbles in Europe, and I have a feeling that there is more to come there, but this is supposed to be a positive piece, so for now I will go along with conventional wisdom and just say that everything in that particular garden is rosy.
- The Price of Oil has Stayed Steady: Nothing derails a fragile recovery like a spike in oil prices, but the internal dynamics of the oil market have avoided that, and have made the prospect of such an event seem less likely in the future. Oil prices are one of those invisible checks and balances in the economy of nations that so ably demonstrate the beauty and fascination of markets. As growth continues, so demand for oil rises. This in turn pushes up the price of the commodity and that puts a natural brake on the upward momentum; things are kept in check. This is fine unless something on the supply side affects that delicate balance. In the past, disruption in the Middle East has often caused a price spike at an inopportune moment. That region remains as volatile as ever, but the extraction of oil from shale fields has pushed the Americas inexorably towards the role as the biggest supplier of oil and diminished the price effect of supply fluctuations elsewhere. Even on the demand side there is a gradual move to "alternative" energy sources around the globe. This may not be good news for Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) or Conoco Phillips (COP), but it has seriously reduced the chances of a 1970s style oil price shock.
- Bonds Haven't Collapsed: I was tempted to put "yet" in parentheses in this sub-heading, but, as I said, this is supposed to be a positive piece. Considering that we are probably seeing the end of a sustained 30 year bull market in debt, both Government and corporate, the bond market has held up pretty well this year overall, despite some summer losses. Taking the iShares 7-10 year Bond ETF (IEF) as a guide, fixed income investors have lost a not insignificant 5% YTD, but the real rush for the exit from a crowded room hasn't happened. Of course, as I have said before, the global bond market has been so distorted by the actions of Central Banks that none of us have any idea of the true value of benchmark paper, but still…We can just paste a big cheesy grin on our faces and say that, right now, everything is fine.
- The Fed and Other Central Banks: In spite of the amount of distortion their actions have caused, most investors have a great reason to be thankful for the World's Central Bankers this year. The continued race to the bottom in the currency wars and the continued policy of injecting liquidity (aka printing money) is something that we may look back on ruefully one day. For now, however, all of that cash looking for a home has made it a great year for anybody with an equity portfolio, which leads us to number 5…
- Stocks, Stocks, Stocks!: Wow, what a year for equities! YTD, the NASDAQ is up over 32%, the Dow has put on over 20% and the S&P 500 is showing gains of over 26%. As long as you understood that political disruptions would follow the usual path of brinkmanship followed by a short term solution, it was pretty hard to have a bad year as a US equity investor.
As you maybe can tell, all of this good news is beginning to make me a little nervous. This is the product of 20 years in trading rooms, where the first lesson learned is usually that all good things must come to an end, and the less the market is pricing in the possibility of a correction, the closer it is to occurring. This article however, is about giving thanks, so I must temper my pessimism. It has generally been a great year for markets, and I am particularly thankful for the opportunity that "Market Musings" has given me to share my thoughts on it with an intelligent, informed readership.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Santa Fe Historic Traditions for New Mexico Vacationers
First in Series: New Mexico True Historic USA travel experiences
Provided by: Pueblo Bonito Bed and Breakfast Inn
Adobe bricks (mud bricks) are a long time New Mexico architectural building staple. Modern historic preservation efforts within Santa Fe's historic district are to be commended for their preservation. New Mexico visitors travel with high expectations to see and experience ancient traditions of culture which adobe bricks encase and accurately preserve. Made of earth, traditional adobe bricks have a high clay content and straw mixture. If produced manually the earth mix is cast in open moulds onto the ground and left to be sun-dried, not kiln-fired. When used for construction they are laid up into a wall using an earth mortar. Before drying out, the finished walls are smoothed down and often a clay render applied as a surface coating.
Adobe brick building is an ancient technique common in the Americas and the Middle East. The oldest structural ruins made of earth date back to 8300 BC with some adobe buildings aged 800+ years still in use today! "Adobe" is a signature of Santa Fe New Mexico's architecture and is beautifully preserved in many a historic building such as the De Vargas Street House (aka Oldest House in the USA). Built in 1200 CE, the original adobe home sits on the partial foundation of an ancient Indian Pueblo. Modern day use as a museum provides New Mexico visitors a viewing of this ancient art of adobe building. The De Vargas Street House has quiet a history and is a short stroll from Pueblo Bonito Inn- Santa Fe.
The Palace of the Governors (1610) is an adobe structure located on the north side of Santa Fe's Plaza. The Palace of the Governors served as the seat of government for the state of New Mexico for centuries and is the oldest continuously occupied public building in the United States. The Palace originally served the Spanish colony of Nuevo Mexico, which at one time comprised present-day states of Texas, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada,California, and New Mexico. After the Mexican War of Independence, the Mexican province of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico was administered from the Palace of the Governors. When New Mexico was annexed as a U.S. territory the Palace became New Mexico's first territorial capitol.*
"Adobe" is the Spanish name derived from the older Arabic "al-tob", dating from the Moorish occupation of Spain. Adobe walls have a number of advantages and relatively few disadvantages. Adobe bricks are fireproof, durable and biodegradable! Adobe is a non-toxic building material and can provide sufficient thermal mass to ensure excellent thermal efficiency and low sound transmission levels through walls to create a general feeling of solidity and security. Due to the nature of clay and the drying process, adobe bricks exhibits good water resistance. It is important to provide weather protection to extend life to the adobe brick especially in exposed situations. Adobe can be cut relatively easily to provide for fittings or services like vigas, corbels, pass through, etc. Many people today find the pattern and texture of adobe walls very attractive as is the case at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn.
Accurately highlighting traditional historic Santa Fe culture and adobe living, Pueblo Bonito was originally built in 1860. Once a private residence, now a popular downtown bed and breakfast. Its painstaking preservation efforts over the past 30 years has transformed this massive 2 foot thick adobe walled structure into a one of a kind Santa Fe travel experience! Adobe walls surround 18 guest rooms each with a traditional kiva fireplace and adorable mosaic tiled private bathroom-essential modern conveniences! Traditional room features include: colorful nichos vanities, natural wood floors and vigas, hand plastered nichos and bancos, hand carved corbels and much more. Santa Fe, New Mexico is a top historic treasure for US travel buffs wanting to experience a true slice of historic dating back over 400 years.

Santa Fe is "the City Different" because, unlike other cities, our history is an integral part of our day-to-day life, augmented by modernity rather than erased by it. Established by indigenous hunters and gatherers, influenced by Hispanic immigrants and explorers, and populated over the centuries by numerous other European descendants, Santa Fe continues to embrace new diversity and to celebrate our cultural heritage. Legacies from these earlier groups endure in harmony: in nearby pueblos and reservations, through diverse festivals and traditions, even in the local foods grown and eaten and in the beauty that nurtures us.
No American city has ever been more beautiful and well preserved. Centuries ago, newcomers were drawn to this area because of the scenic splendor. They stayed because the earth offered bountiful lands providing precious
minerals and gems, including gold, silver, and turquoise. Today, unique among many cities, Santa Fe, New Mexico boasts spectacular views and experiences of nature. Several mountain ranges – visible wherever you turn—beckon to hikers, skiers, birdwatchers, horseback riders and nature enthusiasts. The Rio Grande replenishes the high desert plains and valleys, sustaining productive fields to supply local farmers and markets, as well as pastures for domesticated cattle and buffalo and the wild herds of antelope will take your breath away when you sight them from the highways and byways.
Finally, Santa Fe has earned its nickname because it truly is different, in indescribable ways. There is a spirit here which defies definition, yet you feel it in the purity of the air, in the vivid colors of each season, in the deep blue of the heavens and the vastness of the night sky. There is an ethereal quality that turns mere neighbors into lifelong friends as locals take things a little slower, living by the unspoken code of "mañana". One stands a little taller, breathes a little easier, relaxes and smells the roses in the City Different.
We invite you to come and experience this delightful City of Difference and allow us at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn to provide your accommodations- making your Santa Fe vacation a time to remember. Call us at 1-800-461-4599 or book online at www.pueblobonitoinn.com
Mountain Bike Trails around Santa Fe, New Mexico
courtesy of Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn– Santa Fe, NM
Great mountain bike trails around Santa Fe make Spring break travel enjoyable while visiting New Mexico. These trails have easy access and can be enjoyed anytime of year, not just for spring break! Beauty surrounds the trails and varying terrains create the challenge you seek. Just another great reason to visit the city different- Santa Fe, NM!
Dale Ball Trails: Central
Seven + miles of trails which include reconditioned older trails with newer sections that are great fun. Little more climbing than North section with not as smooth of tread. Make sure you try the connector trails to vary distances and experiences.
New trails with six or seven of many more miles to come. Condition is tricky, technical single-track twisters through pinoned woods in foothills over looking Santa Fe. Tread is fast and good. Keep an eye out for soft shoulders and tight switchbacks. The outside loop runs five miles with cut-off trails to vary distances. Another system is in the works and will stretch south to Atalaya mountain trail adding about 17 more miles.
A 5-mile trail, mostly for hikers. If you don't mind some hike-a-bike it is a good trail for mountain bikes as well.
Windsor Trail
10-mile loop for advanced riders. This trail starts with a good climb and ends with ripping technical downhills. Weekends arecrowded with hikers and bikers and many downhillers who shuttle to the top and kamikaze down. This trail offers great technical terrain, stream crossings, gorgeous scenery, and is a memorable ride for advanced riders in the Santa Fe area.
Caja Del Rio
Great rolling terrain trails for beginners, with numerous choices for distance. These trails are built on volcanic rock, making for a unique surface. None of the trails are real technical. Novice or entry-level riders can enjoy them. Caja Del Rio offers spectacular views from the plateau.
Apache and Baldy Trail Loop
A moderately difficult, year round, 6-mile loop for mountain bikers. The trail follows the ridgeline, then drops to follow an old road, then switchs back down to Apache Canyon to trail 176. A steep incline back up the ridgeline finishes the trail with a moderate incline back to the road.
Glorieta Center Trail
A difficult 5-mile trail up to Glorieta Baldy mountain bikers. High elevation of 10,000+ feet. This trail is used moderately to heavy, and offers a number of unique attractions. Detailed trail descriptions are available at entrance gate to Glorieta Conference Center. Beginning at the trailhead, a grassy road follows the stream up a canyon, then climbs to a rocky area. The trail continues through forest, and eventually gains the ridge between Ruiz and Glorieta Canyons. Much of this trail follows an old road. The last mile or so, it becomes considerably steeper and narrower, switching up the southwest slope on the mountain. Keep going up hill to the top!
Santa Fe Winter Vacations- Birds of Northern New Mexico
You might think late winter in Santa Fe lacks excitement for bird lovers. On the contrary; late Winter – early Spring birds seen in and around Santa Fe consist of colorful migrants and back yard birds. Considered "permanent range" for bluebirds like the Mountain Bluebird and Western bluebird, Santa Fe is a great place for these Northern New Mexico birds to stay put! They like fairly open habitat so you'll spot bluebirds on the edges of town- a popular location is near El Dorado (south of downtown). Bluebirds group in winter months so if you spot them, they'll be large numbers. Bluebirds work together to find steady sources of food (berries usually) and water (horse trough, heated bird bath, etc.)
Other spotting like that of the Grosbeaks have been seen in large flocks in and around Santa Fe this year. These yellow, white and black migratory bird's movements are unpredictable but have been reported.
A ladder-backed woodpecker which exhibits rungs like that of a ladder (male has red on his head) have also been sited nearby and in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Local residents who supplement winter time bird feeding with sunflower seeds, nuts and suet help bring these lovely creatures to Santa Fe. However, birds are not dependent upon feeders. It's only a fraction of their diet. In winter months, most bird's food comes from natural sources like berries, old seeds (pinon, flowers, grasses) and larva.
Birdwatching is but one enjoyable outdoor activity enjoyed by late Winter – Spring New Mexico travelers. Hiking, downhill skiing, snow shoeing, exploring ancient Indian ruins, historic villages or intriguing shops and galleries can be experienced in a trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Pueblo Bonito b&b inn welcomes visitors to our webpage or facebook page for information on Santa Fe Travel New Mexico ideas and current lodging rates and availability. We love our guests and we'd love to share a memorable Santa Fe experience with you too!

The Santa Fe Opera began in July 1957 and is internationally known for introducing new operas as well as creative productions of standard operatic repertoire. Inhabiting approximately 150 acres of land, the Santa Fe Opera sits on top a mesa. Audiences face west toward an ever-changing horizon of sunsets and thunderstorms which are frequently visible throughout many productions when no backdrops are used. Unlike a conventional opera house or theatre, there is no fly system to allow scenery to be lowered from above, nor a proscenium arch (thus no curtain) and subtitles are provided via electronic readers in every seat. The sides of the house are open with rear stage at times being completely open to allow for westward expansive views. Performances begin at sunset (around 8:30) so production lighting is not compromised by the sides of the theatre being open to outside elements. Performance start times also allow opera-goers an opportunity to observe New Mexico sunsets against a surrounding landscape and the enjoyment of traditional tailgate dining. Since its inception, The Santa Fe Opera has staged forty-four American and eleven international premieres, and has commissioned ten new operas.

Forecasts for rain throughout the day today prompted cancellation of a concert in New Philadelphia, and postponement of the End of Summer celebration in Dover.
Forecasts for rain throughout the day today prompted cancellation of a concert in New Philadelphia, and postponement of the End of Summer celebration in Dover.
The Tuscarawas Philharmonic concert scheduled tonight in Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia was called off Saturday. It will not be rescheduled.
Although the third annual event hosted by the City of Dover had been promised to go on rain or shine, officials changed their mind based on safety and other considerations. The End of Summer celebration in Dover City Park is being rescheduled for Sept. 9, including fireworks, which initially had a rain date of Monday.
"Because the whole event is being rescheduled, we're also moving the fireworks to Sept. 9, to begin at dusk," said Scott Jerles, Dover Parks and Recreation Superintendent.
Dover Mayor Richard Homrighausen blamed the forecasts of rain from the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac.
"From all the forecasts that I've seen, it's supposed to be raining most of the day," he said. "With outdoor entertainment acts that require electricity for their equipment, the potential for rain and lightning makes it a safety issue."
Jerles said Saturday night that he's still in the process of rescheduling.
"As of now, the majority of acts will be back," he said.
He received confirmation that Frontiers — The Journey Tribute band, will perform. The band is from Virginia, and the travel time was one of the considerations in canceling today's event.
"We had to notify them in time to change their schedule," Jerles said. "It's the same with several vendors, they have to prepare their food early, and we didn't want them to have a lot of food go bad if the storm hampered attendance."
Jerles said that schedule conflicts will prevent the Dover High band and Timothy Paul from participating.
Free swimming in the city pool is still on for today, weather-permitting. However, the pool closes for the season Monday and will not be available next Sunday with the rescheduled activities.
The event features live music throughout the day, starting at noon, including Jerome James, Sneeky Peek, and Frontiers.
A vintage baseball game between the Canal Dover Redlegs and Dover City Sluggers will start at 1:05 p.m.
Registration begins at 3 p.m. for a car, truck and motorcycle show that is scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. on Field No. 9.
There will be food vendors, face painting by Dover cheerleaders, and free use of four inflatables for children.
The Dover Band Boosters chicken barbecue will go on as scheduled today from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Dover City Park on N. Wooster Avenue, with drive-through service. Presale orders must be picked up by 2:30 p.m. Another 80 dinners are for sale today, and will be available until they're sold out. Dinners are $7 per person for half of a chicken, one side dish, rolls and butter, dessert and a bottle of water. For more information, call April at 330-827-9148.
Page 2 of 2 - In New Philadelphia, the Tuscarawas Philharmonic concert has been canceled. Because of schedule conflicts, the concert will not be rescheduled.
"Regrettably, this is the second year in a row that it's been canceled – we're blaming Hurricane Isaac this time," said Sam Hitchcock, producer for the Summer Showcase concert series in Tuscora Park.
"Otherwise, it's been a great season," Hitchcock said of the 15th season for the concert series.
"We're already starting to plan for next year."

i passed my
1.2 exam today. i am very happy and releaved, as i start second year uni this week and i wanted to complete it beforehand.
to those reading this message that are currently studying, please let me share some thoughts with you guys:
1) after completing reading/questions on topics, in my opinion i felt javaranch.com was a fantastic way of sharing knowledge, and/or verifying quieries that i had. i think group discussion and participation is a wonderful and interesting way of learning (and very effective! )
2) i was extremely nervous and worried about the difficulty and skill required to pass the exam, and rightly so. i have covered
in my Bach. of Computer Sci & Tech, and i believe that the sun certification exam is much more difficult than any other exam i have previously sat. (please note this is only in my experience in examinations).
3) to those who are still studying, the topics i felt strongest in i found myself questioning things i wouldnt normally question, due plainly to the exam conditions and nerves. i can recommend not only doing as many mock exams as possible, but setting up an official timer and exam conditioned area (if possible) to ensure you can perform under pressure and this will increase your confidence when the real exam day comes
4) it took me one month of studying the scjp to pass.
finally i would like to thank javaranch.com and its community, i came across the site whilst studying for the exam, and i have not looked back. although part taking in multiple forums previously, none have been as kind, well informed, fun and dynamic. after a post your sure to get a response within the hour (often sooner) and this dynamic nature motivated me even more with my java.
marcus green's site (
) was a wonderful help, with both tutorials and great exams (which i felt near the difficulty of the scjp).
again thanks to everyone who has inspired me to pursue my programming, i am keen to repay the jesture by being a regular visitor on the boards!
see ya round

please note my second name is waugh not first name!
i sat the 1.2 for a few reasons:
1) i wanted to be tested and learn GUIs which was removed from the objectives of 1.4
2) i found a courseware available to act as a study aid, which i purchased before being fully aware of the implications -it would be silly to sit 1.4 after learning all about 1.2 objectives, regardless of their similarities
and finally im happy to sit the 1.4 exam too! better practice
thanks for the congrads

davy, do you believe that the 1.2 is harder than 1.4?
not content wise but in terms of questions in the exam?

I have not done the 1.4 yet, but may well do this later this year.
I am doing a distance learning program, and after java 1.2 it is JavaScript 1.2/1.3, which i need to do quickly.
But as far as my understanding from others, is that the 1.2 is a wee bit harder than the 1.4, because you need to remember GUI's layout managers and file I/O, i hear that these are out of the 1.4 but they included assertions., but I do have teh Kathy and Bert study guide book for the 1.4.
so, onwards and upwards I think after my distance learning program.
good luck Antoine.

goodluck to you too davy!
when you say distance program, do you mean your self teaching? or your being taught from an external/another location?
best of luck studying, im deciding the next course of action, ontop of uni, whether i do the 1.4 exam or look into the developer's exam etc..

well the distance learning, is mainly self taught. If i have any problems i can email the company, but this tales time and most of the time i get an answer based on what I had just read, so javaranch helps me out when i have problems, it is quicker, and you get other peoples way of explaining things, which is better than quoting a manual.
I agree. Here's the link:

Joseph Campbell, arguably the greatest mythologist of the twentieth century, was certainly one of our greatest storytellers. This masterfully crafted book interweaves conversations between Campbell and some of the people he inspired, including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, filmmaker David Kennard, Doors drummer John Densmore, psychiatric pioneer Stanislov Grof, Nobel laureate Roger Guillemen, and others. Campbell reflects on subjects ranging from the origins and functions of myth, the role of the artist, and the need for ritual to the ordeals of love and romance. With poetry and humor, Campbell recounts his own quest and conveys the excitement of his lifelong exploration of our mythic traditions, what he called "the one great story of mankind.
About the Author
JOSEPH CAMPBELL (1904-1987) was a prolific writer, dedicated editor, beloved teacher, inspiring lecturer, gifted storyteller, avid scholar, and a foremost interpreter of myth. Among the many books he wrote and edited, he is best known for "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", his four-volume "The Masks of God", and his magnum opus, "Historical Atlas of World Mythology".
Phil Cousineau is a writer, teacher, editor, documentary filmmaker, travel leader and storyteller. An expert in mythology, travel and creativity, he has published more than 25 books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage and Stoking the Creative Fires. He has 15 documentary screenwriting credits to his name, including The Hero's Journey and the Academy Award-nominated Forever Activists. Currently, he is host of the national television series Global Spirit on Link TV and lives in San Francisco, California. Scott Chamberlin Hoyt is a filmmaker, photographer, painter, budding tea connoisseur and director of The Meaning of Tea project. His longtime interest in tea increased when he began studying various alternatives to orthodox modern medicine and learned that tea, and the enjoyment of tea, is one of the cornerstones of living life well. Scott lives in New York City and is on the board for Global Learning Across Borders, is a member of the Directors Circle for the American Botanical Council, and is President of the Tibetan Classics Translators Guild of New York.

The mannequins in shop windows show trousers, shirts, dresses, bags, shoes, jewels and trademarks. They look so lifelike: as trendy girls, elegant ladies, business men, athletic boys, fortune-tellers and pregnant women. They project emotion and real life from their stage.
On the scene, pedestrians suddenly appear, crossing the street; then parked cars and bicycles; scooters dart past; people are chatting and a woman carries her shopping bag. The stage opens to include the Duomo of Milan, houses and a wall covered with advertising.
This dual vision has always intrigued me – Life represented on a stage, while real life is reflected in its windows. In this book I have collected 34 photos, shot during my strolls through cities in Italy and abroad over 2005 and 2006.
All the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to "Associazione San Pancrazio", Cosenza, Italy.

And while several of the new companies offer to connect the caller with the number requested, the Times survey found that not one operator indicated that the connection charge could be up to 10 times the cost of a direct-dial call.
Cell-phone customers are especially hard hit. Those who want to find an international number will find seven companies from which to choose, with prices that can cost as much as $4.25.
Worse for everyone, though, is this: Dialing some of the companies won't even get you a British operator, much less someone for whom English is the first language. You might reach an operator at a relay station in South Africa, Malta, India or the Philippines, where such British household names as Woolworths, Charlton Athletic and RSPCA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) are lost on the listener.
But while BT may have lost its monopoly, it has acquired four new numbers and upped its own information charge 37 percent.
At least the British haven't yet added that annoying announcement we Americans get while we're on hold, waiting for a directory assistance operator: "This call may be monitored for quality assurance." If that were true, the U.S. telephone companies wouldn't have devised such a rotten, impersonal and expensive system in the first place.
The British are going to need more than a stiff upper lift to navigate their new information system.

Additional Information
About VisionFund EcuadorVisionFund Ecuador is a microenterprise development fund that supports groups of entrepreneurs who lack access to formal financial systems. The organization works with vulnerable populations, especially women, in the marginalized urban and rural sectors of Ecuador. Its clients work in a variety of sectors including agriculture, artisan crafts and the commercial and service sectors. Kiva lenders' funds are used to expand the organization's services to the poor living in more rural parts of Ecuador.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Dr. Mark and his staff cared for 5 of my pets. They went above and beyond my expectations when my pets were ill. I always felt they were getting the best care possible, be it routine or in crisis. The grooming service was also excellent, providing professional grooming with a gentle touch. Since moving to BC, I haven't been able to find a vet that makes me as happy and comfortable as Dr. Mark and staff. I miss them.

Infact, this is the extension which reports to ePo agent and then ePO agent reports to ePo, in your case these are multiple entries, I think giving a restart may resolve it. The bigger version is product version and smaller is is Report extension number, that you also see in your ePo under Extensions Menu.

- To view this video download Flash Player
This stylish travel iPod alarm clock is great for home or on the go. Wake and Sleep to your favorite music while charging your iPod.
Wake and Sleep to your favorite music while charging your iPod. Click to enlarge.
Low-profile design is great for travel.
Rear auxiliary input for external audio devices such as MP3 players.
Wake or Sleep to iPod
Waking up to your favorite music is a great way to start the day. The iHM16 lets you wake to your iPod, gradually increasing the volume so as not to jar you out of sleep too forcefully. If there is no iPod present or there is no music detected on the iPod at alarm time, the iH16 will automatically switch to buzzer alarm, to make sure you get there on time. The requisite nine-minute snooze is also included, since it takes some of us a little longer to get out of bed.
You can adjust the sleep timer from 90, 60, 30 or 15 minutes, and the sleep features a volume setting independent from the alarm volume.
Charge Your iPod
While you're recharging in your sleep, your iPod's filling up on electricity, so when you hit the pavement your iPod will be ready to go.
Dimmer Settings
The snooze button also changes the dimmer, so you can adjust the display to your desired brightness. Choose from three settings.
Sure Alarm
Provided you have installed four "AA" batteries, you'll still make it to work in the event of a power outage, thanks to iHome's "Sure Alarm" backup feature.
Quality Sound
The iHM16 delivers great sound thanks to iHome's specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iiHM16 deliver sound beyond its size.
Auxiliary Input
The iHM16 features a standard 3.5mm "mini" jack, so you can connect MP3 players, CD players, or most any other audio device.
Three Tasty Colors
Get an iHM16 to suit your style--available in lilac, gray, or blue.
