"An instant Classic" is how Vapor4Life fanatics have described Wow Vapor Peppermint Cartomizers. A cool, intense peppermint flavor very reminiscent to those delicious candy canes. These e Cig cartomizers go fast, so be sure to stock up on them when they're available! Each box includes 5 prefilled cartomizers.

always out of stock!this is the best of the best! smooth ,sweet, minty! seems like supply is not meeting demand, also true for the juice too! i'd love to place a order and use some of the great promos, but cant order when supply is gone again!
WOW PeppermintThis was my very first flavor that my friend had let me try. This flavor was love at first vape! Wonderful thoat hit and alot of vapor! This is a must have!!
love this flavorI used to smoke peppermint analogs and these are every bit as good (and not $8 a pack). Lots of vapor and I really like this flavor. I just wish the carto was not pink. I have to agree with others in this post, I would really like to see this in the juice.
Best Peppermint Ever!Tried a few other brands. This one is best tasting and best vapor of them all. I used to smoke Nuport menthols and this flavor has been the most satisfying. I great all around choice!
niceWhen I first used it with my manual PT, I got this really intense throat hit, which IMO was a bit overwhelming. After a couple puffs though, you just kind of get this nice hint of mint, with a nice throat hit and a productive vape. I definitely recommend it.

Their heroic stand delayed Santa Anna's army long enough for the convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos to declare independence from Mexico. The courage at the Alamo will forever be treasured.

Hey guys.
All summer I was getting up at about 5 AM and getting 15-17 mile rides in 2 to 3 times during the week before work and a longer ride on Saturday. I am really missing those mid-week rides. For the last 4 weeks or so I have only been able to get out for one ride a week on Saturday mornings (alternating between 35 & 50 mile rides). It's just too dark to get out in the morning (I have to drive my daughter to school) and it's starting to get too dark by the time I get home to get out for an hour ride (although, I still might be able to sneak a couple of those in if I sneak home a little earlier).
Luckily, earlier this summer, I won the grand prize in a fitness contest at work (I logged enough miles to be eligible for the grand prize drawing). I won $750 to be used for fitness equipment. Well, last Friday I finally got the prize and it was $750 of gift cards to performancebike.com. So I ordered me a Travel Trac RealAxiom V3 trainer.
I'd have never bought one of these on my own...I'd have gone cheaper. But hey, can't argue with free!!
It is supposed to be arriving today. I am so excited to be able to get some mid-week training in again while still doing the long rides on Saturday.
I have been making a concerted effort to eat healthier the last month or so (although the last week was bad...) and have been still steadily dropping about a pound every week or two. I weighed in at 204 last Sunday, so...I think now with this extra boost in training that 5 pounds should be off in two or three weeks max. It will be fun to be sub 200 again. I started out at about 250 and have been gradually decreasing over the last 10 years or so (you can see I'm in no hurry ). I would like to try to be down to about 170 by next May so I can fairly fly up the hills around here . That would be about a pound a week. I think this new trainer will help me acheive that goal and my milage goals the rest of this year and into next year.
Can't wait to hook it up and get going!

ClassicsOnline Home » MACKEY: Redline Tango / MOWER: Flute Concerto / PANN: Slalom > Review List
Redline Tango launches the new line of Naxos recordings, Wind Band Classics. With a rich history, the wind band is the ensemble of the future eagerly embracing new composers. The medium's flexibility and potential for limitless color are explored in this recording of new works. The cool Slalom and hot Redline Tango serve as bookends while presenting two gifted young American composers. Ives scholar Jonathan Elkus paints The Alcotts in an imaginative fashion, while Michael Mower's Concerto fuses classical, jazz and pop idioms. The philosophic and introspective Were You There? rounds out this recording of inventive new compositions for wind band.
ClassicsOnline customers will not be able to use their log in to access the new HD site. Please create a new ClassicsOnline HD•LL account to download albums, subscribe to streaming, create playlists and more!
The international classical music label Naxos is known for its wide-ranging catalog and mid-line pricing. The label recently launched a new series of CDs, Wind Band Classics, which will feature music for wind ensemble. The series' first release features the University of Kansas Wind Ensemble.
The band recorded music of recent vintage, subtle and sophisticated pieces propelled by fiery rhythms and an exciting, tangled interplay between instruments.
The program includes "Redline Tango," an award-winning piece by John Mackey from 2004; a Concerto for Flute and Wind Band by Michael Mower written in 2004; and the energetic and infectious "Slalom" by Carter Pann, commissioned by KU in 2003.
Also on the CD is "Were You There?", a tone poem based on the traditional hymn by John P. Lynch, the ensemble's director; and "The Alcotts," a setting from Charles Ives' "Concord Sonata."
Mower's three-movement concerto is lively and inviting, full of jazzy licks and happy inflections. The concerto soloist is David Fedele, professor of flute at KU, who negotiates the convoluted melodies with swagger and a real feeling of improvisation.
In Mackey's "Redline Tango," the familiar tango rhythm is at first brashly manhandled before woodwinds assert the traditional sultry sway. Nervous, pointed rhythms intrude, though, and carry the piece to a boisterous conclusion.
The band's performances, led throughout by Lynch, are neatly balanced, full of color and vigor.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
This article originally appeared in the issue of .
This year's Federal 100 awards program is a reminder that excellent work goes
on, even in the toughest of times.
And times were tough in 2010, make no mistake about that. Civilian agencies and
their contractors felt the pinch of budget uncertainty as the year progressed and
Congress could not reach agreement on an appropriations bill. Many defense agencies
also faced austere times, as two wars continued to demand a steady flow of resources.
Yet the 2011 Federal 100 award winners rose to the challenge.
They developed strategies to ease the federal government's transition to cloud
computing. They improved the quality of care provided to our service members returning
from combat. They gave federal officials a crash course in how to protect themselves
against an imminent cybersecurity threat. And they even put together national programs
to nurture the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

President's winners photos
That's one of the marks of Federal 100 winners every year: They have an
uncanny ability to figure out how to get a job done with whatever resources are
available. That quality is especially valuable in a crisis — be it the earthquake
in Haiti or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill — when time is of the essence and
options are limited. It's the art of the possible raised to its highest form.
Federal 100 winners often seem to look at the world from a unique perspective.
It's not that they don't see obstacles. But they come at problems from a
slightly different angle. They see ways around obstacles that others might have missed.
That vision, and their ability to share it, is what makes them leaders.
But the most important distinguishing mark of Federal 100 winners is simple: They
step up. That's something we see again and again in the nominations we receive.
Often the work that results in a Federal 100 award is something that is difficult,
time-consuming and, in many cases, beyond the winner's job description. But they
step up to it and get the job done. It's that simple.
After 22 years of the Federal 100 awards program, you would think we had seen it
all. But this year's program just goes to show that excellence never gets

A revamped assessment process targets the cloud security program's biggest friction point: time.
FCW talked with FedRAMP evangelist Ashley Mahan about her role in helping agencies adopt cloud technology.
One tiny team is at the center of the federal government's push for cloud computing — and all the loud, complicated competing interests that go along with it.
Two key IT modernization bills could move in Congress, despite the compressed legislative calendar and the politically charged election year.
CyTech Services, the veteran-owned small business that may have played a significant role in discovering the OPM hack a year ago, says it's never been paid for that work.
Although most agencies are on track to meet a presidential directive to archive email records electronically, a few will need more time.
Limiting the impact of open source policy to a time- and scope-constrained pilot forgoes a unique and long-needed opportunity to modernize government, argues a leading open source advocate.
Agencies can put more money on mission by analyzing accounts payable data. The former leader of the U.K.'s Government Procurement Service explains what it takes.

Command Celebrates Black History Month
March 2, 2010
By DJ Montoya
Story Highlights
- Guest Speaker - Dr. La Vonne I Neal, Dean - College of Education at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
- Brig. Gen. Kurt S. Story serves as host of event
- Highlights of event included ethnic tasting and an African art work auction
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. - A packed crowd of Soldiers, Civilians, and Contractors listened intently as Brig. Gen. Kurt S. Story enlightened them with a bit of history about the Army's first black female Command Sgt. Maj. Mildred C. Kelly. Story, Deputy Commanding General for Operations, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/ Army Forces Strategic Command spoke to the attentive crowd on the morning of Feb. 18, as the command's annual Black History Month Observance was celebrated in the training rooms of Building 3.
Kelly became the first black female sergeant major in the Army while serving at the Pentagon in 1972. She achieved another first two years later when she became the first female command sergeant major at a major installation.
"She blazed the trail for all of us here today," said Story.
Story also pointed to Army Space Soldiers today who are continuing the tradition such as Capt. Tilisha Lockley, commander of Bravo Company, 53rd Signal Battalion and Sgt. Tomekia N. Brevard from 2nd Space Company, who recently returned from in theater with Army Space Support Team 2.
Next, guest speaker, Dr. La Vonne I. Neal, Dean - College of Education at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, took center stage and began with a brief explanation of her job.
"A dean is a university officer and third in command at the university," said Neal.
"I have four academic departments under my control including teaching, special education, counseling, and leadership. One of the hallmarks of our program is culturally responsive teaching , leadership, and counseling. That is one of the main ingredients of our program. I am responsible for making sure all of our personnel are culturally responsive."
As a former Army captain, Dean tailored her instruction of the Black History theme using cross cultural confidence while discussing its evolution as well as that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Black History Week/Month, and the National Urban League. But more specifically she touched upon the correlation between education and economics.
"One of the many reasons you are here today is to focus and be a part of that cross-cultural competence experience. What you learn here today will help you understand some of the epistemology and the way of knowing of individuals who are culturally and linguistically diverse."
In addition to Dr. Neal's speech, Sgt. Maj. Marcus Campbell from the 1st Space Brigade S3 section recited President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, and Omoyemen Eyekhobhelo, a local Colorado Springs resident, displayed her Black Art collection. Ruth Steele, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. museum in Pueblo, Colo., was also in attendance.

Now Foods, Evening Primrose Oil
Posted by Cataddicted on Jul 25, 2010
I wanted to give this oil to my cat who has a very bad hair. Her skin is dry and hair is missing on large areas. I have put a few drops into her food and massaged oil into her skin. She does not like the smell of this oil and at first she did not eat her food. But she has got used to the smell. I also use Now Foods Avocado oil which does not have such strong smell as EPO.

Thank you in advance.
You can automate a mouse click on a specific element, such as INPUT elements of type button, checkbox, radio, reset or submit. If you're trying to go outside of this scope, or something that requires more than the function, .click(), you can try an auto click script in another language.
You can either call the event handler yourself:
or it can be done manually here
This question is broad, but I hope that was enough to at least get you started.

Health Care Plan Returns to Pre-Reagan Tax Rates; Small-Business Owners Warn of Impact
Byline: David M. Dickson, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Small-business owners are warning that the economy would suffer under a health care bill proposed by House Democrats, which would drive tax rates for high-income taxpayers to levels not seen since before President Reagan's tax reform of 1986.
The top federal income tax rate, which Mr. Reagan and a bipartisan Congress lowered from 50 percent to 28 percent, would reach 45 percent in 2011 if Congress and President Obama enact the surtaxes that are part of the health care reform plan that House Democrats announced Tuesday.
Small-business owners, who would take a direct hit from the surtaxes, expressed dismay over the proposal, saying it would force them to curtail hiring and reduce wages amid the worst recession in a generation.
If they institute a 5 percent surtax on income, it will have a severe impact on small businesses that are already hurting, said Michael Fredrich, whose Wisconsin company, MCM Composites, molds plastic parts.
We run maybe three days a week, sometimes four days a week, sometimes zero days, he said. I can tell you that at some point, people ... running a small business are just going to say, 'To hell with it'"
Not everybody is worried about the proposed tax's impact on business.
Most small businesses are small and would be completely unaffected by the surtax on high-income people, said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).
Polls show most Americans support raising taxes on the rich. However, the last time Democrats pursued that agenda in 1993, when they raised the top federal income tax rate from 31 percent to 39.6 percent, they lost their congressional majorities in both chambers the next year.
The current top federal income tax rate, established under President George W. Bush, is 35 percent.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama pledged to restore President Clinton's top income tax rates of 36 percent and 39.6 percent. About 2.2 percent of filers with small-business income would be affected by this proposal to allow the top two marginal tax rates to return to pre-Bush levels after 2010, when the 2001 tax cuts are scheduled to expire, Mr. Marr said.
A new surtax of 5.4 percent in the health care bill, which would apply to married couples' income above $1 million, would bring the top federal income tax rate to 45 percent.
After consideration of state and local income taxes and the Medicare payroll tax, which applies to all wage and salary income, taxpayers in 39 states would face a top marginal income tax rate of more than 50 percent, according to a study by the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit tax research group based in the District.
That means government would be taking more than half of every additional dollar from high-income taxpayers, said Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge. The lowest tax rate would be 47 percent - and that's in the nine states that don't tax wages.
Businesses say the surtax would hurt the economy.
The intention of this plan is to tax high-income households, but the real victims would be America's small-business owners, said Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Placing a big tax burden on the small-business community would rob them of the resources they need to create the jobs that will lead us out of the recession.
Some small-business owners seemed to be counting on layoffs if the surtax is imposed.
That tax is going to be paid for by something, that's going to go right to jobs. That money has to be taken from the employer and given to the government, said David Rhoa, whose Indiana company, Lake Michigan Mailers, is in the direct-mail business. While I can't speak for every employer, I can say that many of them are going to take that right from their payroll.
Increased unemployment will be the result, he said. …

The city of Vancouver has a plan to eliminate free on-street parking in downtown's newly formed "government parking district."
City councilors voted unanimously Monday night to create a 49-block parking district, bounded roughly by Mill Plain Boulevard to the north, rail tracks to the west, Evergreen Boulevard/Eighth Street to the south and Columbia Street to the east. The district includes several government buildings, including the Clark County Public Service Center and the Clark County Courthouse.
The city will then be able to meter all 783 parking spaces in the district. Currently, 60 percent of those spaces are not metered. The plan will also raise the time limits on most meters to either three or 10 hours.
The plan will take effect gradually through 2013 and 2014, according to city Principal Planner Bryan Snodgrass. The reason for phasing in the changes is to allow the city time to plan financially for the capital expense of adding new meters and signs, estimated between $480,000 and $690,000.
Councilors approved the district after city staff assured the council it can alter the plans later if needed.
Councilor Larry Smith said that as the city further outlines its plans, it needs to be sure to accommodate volunteers and other folks who need parking to get to nonprofit services in the district.
"I think I've heard enough to feel comfortable with this," Smith said. "When it comes to parking, especially for densely populated areas, urbanized areas, I worry about one thing: They provide services, many of those are social services and many of them … are volunteers."
Smith continued, "That's my only concern as we go through the process, (that) of making sure
we find accommodations as best we possibly can to make those services accessible to the very folks they are trying to serve. Otherwise we lose on this deal."
To that end, Councilor Jack Burkman said he hopes to hear from members of the community if the new parking rules don't work when they are implemented.
"There may be some learnings for people; they may have some concerns," said Councilor Jack Burkman, noting that the city's parking advisory committee takes input from the public on parking issues. "Given that we also have citizen communication times, my expectation is that, if they do have problems … those people come and talk to us. It's a plea to the public, if you will, that if things aren't going well, come and tell us so we have some idea."
Even with the capital expense of installing new meters and signs, the city hopes the new plan moves the city toward a more self-sustaining parking program.
In 2012, parking expenses, including debt, was approximately $3 million. Revenues from meters, penalties, leases and permits totaled approximately $2 million. The net cost of the program was $928,878.
In March, a parking consultant working with the city said that many of the free parking spots available west of the Clark County Public Services Center are used by county employees. The county charges employees $20 a month to park in its garage. While more than 1,000 county employees work downtown, only about 550 pay to park in the garage.

Hi guys. With reference to 131.8. and maintenance.
As i see it from posts on here, a like for like is different to an addition or alteration?
Just as an example, there's been a number of posts on here regarding replacing a like for like shower and all seem to agree it's not notifiable, me included, thats straight forward.
131.8 refers to ensuring that earthing and bonding are adequate for an addition or alteration.
When doing a like for like, where do you stand on the issue of bonding, given that 131.8 "sugests" this is only required to be adequate when doing additions or alterations, which like for like isn't? No extra load no relocation of cables. Effectivly no changes to the installation.
If you went to Mrs smiths and she needed a socket front replacing because there was a crack in it and she had no bonding to her services, what should you do? What do you guys who have fitted a replacment shower do? Is there somwhere in the brb that refers to like for like as such in relation to the existing bonding arangments?

A Star CEO Makes All the Difference
Jim Cramer
Mar 23, 2013 | 10:30 AM EDT
By Jim Cramer |
Mar 23, 2013 | 10:30 AM EDT
(GIS - Get Report) that is astounding. Think about all of the obstacles that he's overcome: higher commodity prices, a sluggish consumer, endless buy-one-get-one couponing. And what has he done? He's given you nothing less than consistent sleep-at-night earnings reports like the one we got this morning, endless dividend increases and tremendous share-take. Powell is everything you can ask of a CEO. Or how about Stuart Miller at Lennar (LEN - Get Report)? It's not easy to follow the towering legacy of Stuart's dad, Leonard. But Stuart's late father has to be smiling somewhere about what this executive has done in the toughest housing market since the Depression. His beautiful quarter today shows that he's building more homes, making more money per home and accumulating a land bank that will drive earnings for years and years to come. This article originally appeared on March 20, 2013, on RealMoney. To read more content like this + see inside Jim Cramer's $3 Million portfolio for FREE Click Here NOW. Then there's Laura Alber, the remarkable CEO of Williams-Sonoma (WSM - Get Report), who has steered this high-end housewares company onto perhaps the best growth path of anyone in the industry. This multi-cylinder company, which includes Pottery Barn and West Elm, is hitting on every one of them. The expectations were so high here, and she crushed them. I think we are in the early innings of the growth for Williams-Sonoma, as Alber has taken a company with electric merchandise but a stodgy reputation and turned it into a high-performance vehicle. Then there is Al Walker, the quiet executive behind Anadarko (APC - Get Report) who had to follow in the huge footsteps of the towering Jim Hackett, and who continues that exploration-and-production company's reputation as being the best wildcatter in the world. This announcement today of a gigantic new find in the Gulf of Mexico is breathtaking and shows there's still plenty of oil left if you know where to look for it.We do not talk enough about execution. It is the mother's milk of profits, and in an era when ETFs are the preferred method of trading, the whole notion of long-term management performance gets lost in the shuffle. And then you will get a couple of days when management's great work just shines through. Today is one of those days. Just think about how many terrific CEOs and their amazing deeds we heard from or read about today. Just think about how hard these people are working for you and how they are delivering for you. We know that Ken Powell is delivering a level of performance at General Mills

text: A rogue kettle was found over the weekend while Salvation Army staff tallied the results of the third annual Battle of the Badges. The event pits the California Highway Patrol, Placer County Sheriff's Office and Auburn Police Department against one another in a daylong competition to raise the most money for the nonprofit organization. At the end of Friday night, the tally was $7,130.58. But then volunteers discovered an uncounted kettle from the Sheriff's Office that contained $850 in donations, bringing the grand total to $7,980.58. "Quite frankly, this was a banner day," said Salvation Army Major Ed Loomis. "We have made history." That brings the final tallies to: $4,441.99 for the Sheriff's Office, $3,061.85 for the California Highway Patrol and $476.74 for the Auburn Police Department. California Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kelly Baraga said the organization was disappointed it once again came in second place to the Sheriff's Office. She jokingly suggested the office cheats and "pads their kettle." "I smell something fishy happening," Baraga joked. "I know we were collecting a lot of money and filled a lot of buckets." Capt. Dave Keyes countered that the Sherrif's Office is proud of its collection efforts. "I just truly appreciate the California Highway Patrol and Auburn Police Department coming out and participating in this great event," Keyes said. "All the agencies thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the public that day and with each other." Auburn Police Chief Valerie Harris, along with Keyes and Baraga, said helping the community through events such as the Battle of the Badges is part of the ogranziations' job descriptions. "What matters about the event is that funds were raised and that law enforcement participated in community efforts," Harris said. -Jenifer Gee ---------- 3rd Annual Battle of Badges final tally: $7,980.58 Placer County Sheriff's Office: $4,441.99 California Highway Patrol: $3,061.85 Auburn Police Department: $476.74 ----------

Ayidote Houegbo-Aliho Group
Yvette is 27 years old and lives in Benin. She is married to a driver named Egoudjobi. The couple has three children in their care, a couple of which go to school. Yvette and her husband live together with their children.
To support herself and her children, Yvette has been in business for about ten years, selling onions and spices in her neighborhood. As a side activity, Yvette sells sesame seeds. She gets her supplies from a city in Benin.
In order to strengthen their activity and to better meet customer demand, Yvette and the other members of group Ayidote Houegbo-Aliho are requesting their first loan from ALIDé.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
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.

Presenting you the screen accurate designed clothing, focuses widely on every detail and feature to be gazed and admired upon. This was the attire of Aiden Pearce when he wore his coat in Watch Dogs. The Aiden Pearce Coat is made of PU Leather, which personifies to be of best quality, giving you the pride of owning it with happiness and confidence.
The feature which is hardly noticeable in any ordinary brown leather trench coat is the Velcro Strap attached, supported with belted waist adjustment for complete front covering. Belts are also attached to the cuffs, which will help in tightening or loosening your fit. This Watch Dogs jacket is highly suitable for both for casual dressing as well as Halloween costume.

What i always face is the late delivery, but less talking about that and more on the game coat I bought. Though i haven't seen properly the game version, my coat's designs are neatly done. I really felt comfortable wearing it. Now i got to make plans of representing it in public.

I just got this watch for dogs coat yesterday and you wouldn't believe how happy I am. The time I made my purchase I kept thinking twice whether I should or not. My friend was like Don't Do It, I'll be ripped off but still I took the risk and luckily thanks to you guys my doubts got proved wrong. The coat is amazing, it's a good fitting and I styled just the way Aiden did in the game. I even brought myself the cap, to imitate him well. Service is good too and surely will recommend all including my friend. Thanks a lot.

Despite the coat I'm enjoying right now, the service was abit shaky. Their procedure kind of confused me which later turned into a late delivery. On the contrary the coat is amazing, very comfortable and the price is worth it. I may wanna wear on a date with my love, we're gonna go roaming and I really hope to look good in front of her.

I'm really fascinated at this piece; you guys have really done a great job in making it so alike that I can't expect any other outfit than this. The designs are something new, and I'm glad it's with me. Not to mention it is very comfortable too. Each and every second I kept visiting my closet, where I kept my jacket in it, and I was so crazy that my mom couldn't stand the way I was behaving. I mean come on that's a good feeling there, what do you expect? :D. I also appreciate the service too. Will check it out again.

It came to me on time. The coat is bit heavy (as expected) and it's comfortable and warm. I bought a Large one. I thought it will look weird on me which it didn't, it looked great. For sure i can feel that this coat will be long lasting and durable. Thanks to mary she helped me alot and the rest of celebsclothing team.

tinamarieto If you want to be able to sleep, DO NOT STAY HERE. If you don't mind LOUD people ALL HOURS, then this place might be a cheap stay. There are people that obviously live here full-time that have no respect. I was woken by them literally every hour for all three nights of my stay. For someone on business, this is not good. The staff are friendly, but disorganized and too often unavailable. Examples include: I almost missed the ability to check into my room because I arrived at 7:45pm just as they were closing up. Had I arrived 15 minutes later I would be SOL. There are dishes available for guests, but they are kept in the office and because the office was subsequently closed, I was unable to cook. The rooms are clean and large for a hostel. The hostel itself is in need of a remodel. It reminds me of a dilapidated building in Cuba. I was not given a blanket and didn't think to bring one, so I was COLD every night. It's subtropical, but winter still made it into the low-teens celcius. All in all, I would NOT stay here again.

According to one embodiment, an infrared focal plane comprises an array of pixels configured to detect optical radiation in a predetermined radiation band are positioned on a support substrate. The pixels are connected to pixel contacts on a read-out integrated circuit via pixel interconnects comprising bonding bumps. According to some embodiments, indium migration is blocked by a patterned electrical insulator comprising a plurality of intersecting walls defining a plurality of cells that surround each pixel interconnect. The patterned electrical insulator may be dimensioned such that it does not physically contact the support substrate, the array of pixels or pixel interconnects. In this manner, pixel-pair defects due to indium migration resulting from cryogenic thermal-cycling may be prevented, thereby extending the thermal-cycling lifetime of the focal plane array.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Friday's closes were also monthly, quarterly and semiannual closes and thus we have new longer term value levels, pivots and risky levels for U.S. Treasury yields, Comex gold, Nymex crude oil, and the euro vs. the dollar.Four of my investment themes for the teenage years of the new millennium are that the low yield environment will continue, that the gold and crude oil bubbles will not re-inflate and that the euro vs. the dollar will remain in a trading range.

U-Haul Offering 30 Days Of Free Self-Storage And U-Box Portable Moving And Storage To California Wildfire Victims
LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The U-Haul Companies of Van Nuys/ San Luis Obispo and Riverside are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box portable moving and storage to California residents who have been evacuated or need to move their belongings away from the growing wildfire along the Pacific Coast Highway. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090622/LA34860LOGO-b)With U-Box portable moving and storage you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box pod with you. We can also store the U-Box pod in our secure warehouse or even pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice. In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin. Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact one of the following U-Haul regional offices. U-Haul Company of Van Nuys/ San Luis Obispo15838 Strathern Street Van Nuys, CA 91406(818)988-4881 U-Haul Company of Riverside 23700 Sunnymead Blvd. Moreno Valley, CA 92553(951)485-2003 "This intense wildfire is causing tremendous amounts of damage throughout our state. Many California residents have been forced to evacuate their homes and businesses," said Eric Crocker, U-Haul area district vice president. "I hope this effort will help provide assistance to families throughout the affected areas that need support. We will do our best to help our friends and neighbors in this time of need." About U-Haul U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul Sustainability Program: "Serving the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable. Learn more about these facts and others at uhaul.com/sustainability. Since 1945, U-Haul has been the choice for the do-it-yourself mover. U-Haul customers' patronage has enabled the Company to maintain the largest rental fleet in the do-it-yourself moving industry which includes trucks, trailers and towing devices. U-Haul also offers storage throughout North America. The Company provides industry leading moving and storage boxes and an extended line of packing supplies to protect customer possessions. U-Haul is the consumer's number one choice as the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket. The Company supplies alternative-fuel for vehicles and backyard grills as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.
