Liechtenstein Travel Guide: 535 reviews and 1,503 photos
Liechtenstein is an anomaly from earlier days. The country is the lone survivor from the Holy Roman Empire, a nebulous feudal affair that used to made up of hundreds of little Liechtensteins. The country name derives from that of the ruling family, a family that joined itself at the hip to the Hapsburgs for centuries. From services rendered the Liechtenstein family had acquired vast regions throughout the Hapsburg empire, but the family held these lands underneath other more senior feudal lords. Being ambitious for not only lands but also prestige, the family was able to buy the little Lordship (Herrschaft) of Schulenburg - the northern area of today?s country - and the county of Vaduz. These lands recognized no other feudal personage but the Holy Roman Emperor. They were said to be ?unmittelbar?. Charles VI, both the Hapsburg Emperor and the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, united the small country into a Furstentum - Principality - and elevated the Liechtenstein family to the ranks of Princes. This also allowed the family entrance to the highest halls of power in the Holy Roman Empire, the Reichstag.
Political aspirations gained, it wasn?t until 120 years later that the ruling Prince actually set foot into the Principality and the Prince continued to live in his other domains further east in the Hapsburg domains. The Nazi Anschluss of 1938 finally brought the Princely family home to Vaduz, where they reside today. Politically and economically, the country had been tied to the fortunes of the Hapsburg Empire until that entity dissolved in 1918. Since that time, the Furstentum has tied itself to the fortunes of the Swiss. Even though the ruling family lost over 600 square miles of lands in Czechoslovakia and Poland, confiscated following WWII, the Princely family has managed to retain wealth estimated at $4 billion. The country is a constitutional monarchy, but the Prince does retain powers that are significantly greater than those found in other constitutional monarchies.
History aside, the country has some magic hidden away for those who take the time to look. Trails cover much of the country giving you an intimate look at the land. Neighboring Swiss and Austrian trails can combine for a perfect hiking vacation.
- Pros:Beautiful mountain walking - a great glimpse of the Alps
- Cons:Too many banks and too many people passing through to say they have been there
- In a nutshell:Wake up to the bells of the cows, high in the Alps

Thanks for this view of Liechtenstein, Mark. Interesting idea for the berggasthaus in Steg. Cheers, Mark
Hi, Mark! ~ It's a Dream Country, thanks for your wonderful pictures and stories!
I visited Liechtenstein on numerous occasions while living in Germany. Regrettably, I never ventured off into the mountains; my journeys were limited to the hunting of rare and out-of-print books in Vaduz. The countryside seems so peaceful.
I'm looking forward to visiting the Liechetenstein museum in Vienna next time I'm there - it was just getting ready to open when I was there in 2003.
Nice to see that your Liechtenstein-page is mainly about the mountains of this small pricipality. It brings back great memories of the time, when I was working for some time in Triesenberg.
The Majoratspalais has to be a must for me! The Saminatal folk tale is delightful and the walking guides excellent - do you have any sitting guides too? Next time you must get a photo of some of the dodgy international tax-evading bank account holders!
More of your great mountain photos and tips! There is regular train service, though, to Schaan-Vaduz. You just have to change trains in Buchs or Feldkirch to get there.
If these pages can't tempt people into walking, nothing will!
But... did you get any postage stamps??? ;-)
Really interesting page Mark! Great tips : o)

NEW PALTZ — The town and SUNY police chiefs spoke to the Village Board Wednesday about improving street lighting in an area where three sexual assaults have taken place during the past two years.
The most recent assault happened on Saturday night on Plattekill Avenue. A woman was attacked from behind but was able to shout for help. A 17-year-old on-campus student was arrested by police "within minutes" of the attack, town police Chief Joe Snyder said.
Snyder and campus police Chief David Dugatkin told the board Wednesday night that the community's "town and gown" committee had met earlier in the day to determine if better street lighting could reduce the chance of further assaults.
The answer appeared to be yes. And the cost could be nominal.
Snyder said that after touring the area with town and college officials, it appeared that there were five utility poles that lacked lighting fixtures along Plattekill Avenue.
Although he didn't have estimates for additional lighting, Snyder said the cost of adding a single light to a pole outside police headquarters was about $6 a month for electricity.
Although board members voiced enthusiasm for more lighting, no action was taken, pending further cost review.
Wednesday's was the first Village Board meeting that Mayor Jason West attended since taking a medical leave in August.

The problems I experienced within 45 days of leaving the shop revolved around the head. I brought the truck in for the head-paid. Within a 2 weeks guess what? The head/liner. This was obvioulsy a preexisting problem given the fact Joey sensed something prior to delivery and replaced it, but that was a bandaid, in that the problem ran much deeper. I dealt with the problems associated with a bad liner for 6 months culminating with me bringing the truck in for repairs at a quoted price of $10K. Additionally I changed steers 3 times in 5 months-hmm....Maybe the truck had bad king pins pre-delivery, and when brough to you guys attention-nothing. I sent you the receipts for the steers, and you even put 2 sets on yourself-never addressing the underlying problem. What are you going to do????

Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock receives phone calls daily about scams taking place in his county.
With a business code of ethics, a survey questionnaire, and a time sheet, it makes this latest one the most elaborate scam he's seen in the mail. He says, "It's the most elaborate, but the same principals."
A company sent a fake $2000 dollar check to a resident hiring them to do a product survey at a Wal-Mart store paying them $250 dollars.
"It requested the person send back $1600 through a wire service," Haddock explained.
The person who refused to go on camera deposited the check, but put a hold on it after not feeling right, then later found out the check was a hoax.
Sheriff Haddock says no one is going to pay you that much money to do a product survey. He says the department is, "Trying to get word out if it sounds too good to be true it probably is."
If you have any questions about a letter you get in the mail or email, contact your local law enforcement agency. It could save you a lot of heartache and money.
Wal-Mart officials would not go on camera, but they did say they have had no other reports of this kind of scam.

"Since the service operates primarily on wireless networks, texting, data and voice calls are always free. Even when you lose connectivity, texts can still be sent over cellular."
"If you mainly use your phone for texting and the occasional phone calls, then definitely get this phone. If you're always by a wireless network, then get this phone since even voice calls are free if you're on the wireless network."

Quoted me over the phone $175.00, including any parts, to repair the driver's power window on
my car. He came, couldn't complete the repair because he said he needed a certain part to complete
the work that he would have to get from BMW. ok, i said great. he said "pay me". the guy wouldn't
leave until I paid him $150 and I only did so because he was scary. Well almost 2 weeks later he comes
back and finishes the job and wants another $100.
Don't let this guy work on your car; you'll be ripped off.

It said all my lottery winnings were being held at the Fidelity Secutity Company S.A. with insurance on it in my name and to contact ALBERTO PINTO their agent at TEL: 01134649229412 or FAX #: 01134657405226. This companies head office was supposed to be in Rome, Italy. The more I looked at this more unbelieving it became. This was a nice dream but beware this is not the real thing. The real thing puts a return address on the letter and it would have been sent by registered mail and they don't need all that personal information to wire the money to your bank.
Before I filled out anything I checked here and found other complaints filed that were talking about recieving almost identicle information, same wording but different phone #'s and addresses and agent names.

Should I Tip My Cooking Class Instructor?
Does one typically tip a cooking teacher after the lesson, even if he or she is the owner of the business?
Sent by Tanya
Editor: Tanya, wow! We have never considered this question. We have not tipped cooking instructors in the past, but it does seem like it would nice to write a thank you note by hand afterwards.
Readers, have you ever taken a cooking class? Tipping the instructor — yes or no?

Today's letters: Corporate candidate?
Published: Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 8, 2010 at 6:08 p.m.
To The Editor: The head of our local Democrat party recently stated in a letter that Jeff Millers campaign had received $500,000 from an organization called Americans for Job Security and characterized AJS as a group funded by big business. Since facts are currently important to Mr. Freeman and U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, lets set the record straight.
Millers campaign received no contributions and has solicited no assistance from AJS.
AJS is running its own political ads in several markets, pointing out the voting records of several incumbent candidates, including that of Shuler.
Here are the facts from the Center for Responsive Politics (as of June 30): Shuler receives 58 percent of his campaign funding from big business and political PACs (banks, attorneys, health insurers, unions, politicians, etc.), 38 percent from individuals, and 4 percent from other sources.
Miller receives 85 percent of his campaign funding from individuals and 15 percent from his own pocket.
A whopping 62 percent of Shulers contributions come from outside North Carolina, while only 11 percent of Millers contributions come from outside North Carolina.
Now ask yourself which candidate will represent big business and which candidate will represent the individual people of North Carolina District 11?
Tom Davis
Obama progress
To The Editor: Those who do not study history are destined to make the same mistakes over again.
In eight years under President George W. Bush, our country was plunged into a recession. The national debt went from more than $5.7 trillion to more than $10.6 trillion (www.cbsnews.com). We were led into a falsely trumped-up war on Iraq. Our personal rights were invaded by telephone taps, loss of Habeas Corpus, and censorship of the war. Government lands were exposed to misuse by large corporations, banking regulations were softened or eliminated, all leading to a recession. Compare the handling of the Hurricane Katrina to that of the BP Gulf oil catastrophe.
The first two years of the Obama administration shows the recession has been stemmed, although much work is necessary to create lost jobs. All combat troops are out of Iraq. Public lands are under protection from misuse. Banking regulations were created to prevent bad banking practices. A national health plan covering everyone has been established. Our standing among nations has been restored.
It is my conclusion that President Barack Obama has done an excellent job in spite of the Republicans voting no to all proposed legislation.
It is my opinion that Republicans are losing their party to the Christian right.
Mark A. Young
Personal attention
To The Editor: My wife and I retired to Hendersonville from the Midwest just over a year and a half ago, so this is our first opportunity to vote in a national election as residents of North Carolina. Just like everyone else, Ive been overwhelmed with political ads that make everyone appear unworthy of holding public office. In my former home state, I was familiar with people and issues. In a new state, it takes time to become knowledgeable. I was pleased to discover the sincerity of Congressman Heath Shuler. I feel convinced that he truly understands the needs of people of all ages in Western North Carolina, and today, that includes me. On a recent trip to Washington, I was extremely impressed with the time he and his staff took to engage in dialogue about the economy, education, health care and other issues. Thats rare these days. I have been to Washington several times and have never had a member of Congress meet with me and ask me what I thought. Rather than trying to placate me, he honestly explained his views. We did not always agree, and I respect that. I feel fortunate to be in his district.
Michael Nelipovich
Trio of failures
To The Editor: I am confused by two articles recently appearing in your newspaper about U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler and his appearance at a Polk High School football practice and one about coaching his sons youth football team.
Is he running for re-election to Congress or campaigning for a football position? He failed miserably at both while in Washington, D.C.
At least in working with the youth, I hope he will teach them the value of being truthful, another virtue he has completely failed, with his continued lies about Jeff Miller.
Marvin Seibold
Honesty exists
To The Editor: In these days where it seems everyone is looking out for number one (themselves), I wish to report that honesty is still alive and well in Western North Carolina.
The day after I took my granddaughter to the Western North Carolina Mountain State Fair, I received a call from Mr. Gibson, one of the emergency personnel assigned there. Mr. Gibson informed me my wallet had been found on the fairgrounds and turned in to their office.
Until that phone call, I had not even realized I had lost the wallet. When I went to pick it up, I asked Mr. Gibson who had found the wallet. He told me it had been found by Mr. Michael McCarson, one of the Agricultural Center workers. I asked if Mr. McCarson was available, so that I could shake his hand and thank him personally. He was there and I was able to express my gratitude.
As I reflected on what had happened, I wondered just how many of the other thousands of people at the fair would have done what Mr. McCarson did. I suspect I was very fortunate my wallet was found by a truly honest man.
Bill McClung
Staking out dogs
To The Editor: The City of Hendersonville is not the place to allow the staking out of dogs. Much has been made of making sure that if a dog is staked out it has proper shelter from the elements, food to eat and water to drink. Although the availability of these necessities should go without saying, they often do not. Since many persons do not want to be accused of telling on their neighbors and maybe face some sort of retaliation from the neighbor for doing so, incidences of animal neglect many times go unreported.
Food, drink and shelter are not the only essentials that dogs require. They require being able to move their bodies as they see fit to recreate without being caught up in a chain or tether. They require the opportunity to romp around and not face a jerk of pain caused by a collar or harness as they run toward an object of interest. Dogs let people know that they do not like living a staked-out life. They voice their displeasure by barking and barking and more barking. If people have a dog that is difficult to contain within a fenced enclosure, my suggestion to them is to keep the dog inside their home or build/modify the existing outdoor enclosure. In fact, that is what responsible, dog-loving owners do. If a person does not have adequate living arrangements for a dog, please do the dog a world of favor and do not purchase or adopt a dog in the first place.
Jane Taaffe
Whos to blame?
To The Editor: Residents of Hendersonville and surrounding areas depend greatly, and rightfully so, upon television for their entertainment, news updates and weather advisements. Recently, Morris Broadband elected to revise its channel lineup without (in my humble opinion) adequately and properly notifying the public about the changes. Morris should have taken the time and foresight to get this right allowing for a clear and non-confusing transition! When people depend upon you (and they do), take the initiative to be forthright and accurate ahead of time. This changeover was undoubtedly in the works for quite some time, and it would have behooved them to get the word out to the viewing public before the fact.
Ed Holtzendorff
Toasty Toes update
To The Editor: In August, Operation Toasty Toes Chapter 7 notified all volunteers to cease making caps, aka helmet liners, and helmets, aka balaclava. The issue in question has been resolved, so please note it is OK to start making these items again.
Years ago, the Times-News had a feature titled Wish List. This permitted nonprofit organizations such as Operation Toasty Toes to inform the community of needed items and/or craft supplies. Chapter 7 promotes recycling. Many times we only need one or two of a request. This community knows Toasty Toes participates in a few functions selling handcrafted items to raise funds to purchase yarn and to mail the boxes to our troops. In the past, Henderson County residents have always responded tremendously. In advance, we thank you for assisting us to support our deployed service members.
We need:
Multicolor crochet thread; acrylic yarns; crochet hooks, especially sizes F and G; knitting needles, 10 inches long, especially sizes 7, 8, 9 and 10, double-pointed needles, 7 inches long sizes 6, 7, 8 and 9; double-pointed sock needles, 5 inches long, all sizes; small point protectors; stuffed animals (7 to 9 inches tall); small bears in sitting position or flexible legs; small items 2 to 3 inches in size, e.g. kitty, puppy, train engine, race car, cooking tools, all types of wood miniatures and mini sport equipment; craft supplies you no longer need; tapestry (sewing) needles.
If anyone has further questions, please contact Operation Toasty Toes 7 at 696-977, 696-8858, 698-4859 or send e-mail to: email@example.com or email@example.com.

Coretta is a wonderful hos . The apt is amazing. Big and confortable. Very near to the metro station (20 minutes to manhatran) and a big supermarket. I really love my permanence there. If you wanna go to NYC i really reccomend Coretta s apt
Our stay at Correttas place was wonderful. We really appreciated the late check out
Great place on a great location. From Nostrand AV subway in Manhattan within 20 minutes. Friendly neighborhood. The apartment was clean and well organized. Some neighbor noises but never till late. We liked it a lot.
We expected a lot of our stay at Coretta at NY. But a lot went wrong.
When we arrived we had to wait for 1.5 hour in front of th appartment because she didn't answer her phone and she forgot our arrival time.
We found a cockroach in the bathtub.
Our toilet was clogged.
We couldn't store our luggage. She only wanted to meet us again to pick up the luggage at a certain hour, but we wouldn't take the risk anymore. So as far as the luggage storage is concerned: you don't have any cotrol of you luggage at all.
NY is a great city, this appartment and especially the service wasn't at all.
Nice appartment in Brooklyn. Restaurants, laundry and subway nearby.
Very nice apartment, excellent location as close to the metro and very helpful host. We can highly recommend this apartment
The apartment is spacious and clean. Bathroom is a bit small but absolutely adequate. The bed in the second bedroom was a bit narrow for our 14-year-old twins so one of them slept on the sofa bed which was perfectly ok. Coretta was very nice and easy going. The neighborhood is safe and sound, very quiet and neat street, and the apartment is only a few blocks away from the A train to Manhattan. We stayed for 9 nights and enjoyed it very much.
We had a great stay in a well-furnished apartment, close to public transport and within easy reach of supermarkets and delis, in a safe neighborhood. If you want to get to know everyday life and not feel like a tourist all the time, this is the place for you. Coretta was a wonderful host, everything was in perfect order and water and juice were waiting for us after a long trip. JFK can be reached by direct train, just like Manhattan. Anyone interested in more than just buying up Broadway will find this a very convenient location with a host who can reply to any questions asked and who is very helpful.
During our stay at Corettas' place everything went perfect and was just as expected. Coretta was very helpfull during our stay and made our visit even more comfortable. The appartment is just like described - everything was clean and neat.
The Location was perfect for us, grocery shops and coffee shops are all in walking distance. The Metro connection was fast and easy to Manhatten. The Station is about 2min walking distance away.
Spacious apartment in very quiet neighborhood, with garden, a good bed and well equipped kitchen. Nice to be welcomed with water, coke and juice. 4 minute walk to supermarket, 6-7 minute walk to subway: express train to Manhattan, and direct line to JFK. The house is a bit noisy inside due to the wooden floors: you can hear other people walk, not talk. We had a great stay in Brooklyn, NYC.

Mount Zion is a hill west of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem just outside the walls of the Old City. Mount Zion is synonymous with Mount Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac and the Jewish Temple, for Jews the term "Zion" is also used for the city of Jerusalem and the entire Land of Israel, and "Mount Zion" is applied to both the Temple Mount or the City of David in Jewish scripture.
Mount Zion houses the Tomb of David, amongst other biblical landmarks.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the Book of Samuel, Mount Zion was the site of the Jebusite fortress called the "stronghold of Zion" that was conquered by King David, becoming his palace and the City of David. It is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, the Book of Psalms, and the first book of the Maccabees (c. 2nd century BCE).
Join the fight against world hunger.
After the conquest of the Jebusite city, the hill of the Lower City was divided into several parts. The highest part, in the north, became the site of Solomon's Temple. Based on archaeological excavations revealing sections of the First Temple city wall, this is believed to have been the true Mount Zion.
Mount Zion houses numerous sites that are holy to both Christianity and Judaism, including the Pope's road.

D100 needs remedial math
I recently did some shooting with my D100. It was set to JPEG (fine), Large files. The counter started at 75. So, I went about my day shooting... Some shots at Bushkill Falls and fireworks that night. Afterwards the counter said I had 31 shots left. I thought I had taken more than just 44 shots. So I downloaded. Low and behold, Nikon View 5.1.1 said I had taken 86 shots. I thought this only happened while using NEF compressed.
I take it the camera bases its count down on memory remaining, or am I wrong?

The camera counts down based on memory remaining, but it uses a conservatively large estimage of the file size. When shooting jpg, the file size varies.

Like Victor said, the file size varies depending on how well the camera can compress the image. This leaves means it has to estimate how many more will fit. If you shoot with the lens cap on you'll be surprised how many shots you can get on a card
As a side note, I've seen some instances when shooint uncompressed raw the camera will say the card is full, then after it finishes clearing the buffer it says there's another shot available. Seems it slightly over-esimates the size of the raw files.

In case there's still confusion, jpeg compression will vary by the complexity of an image. A simple image with large areas of simple colors and shapes can be jpeg compressed much more than one that has a lot of detail.
The remedial math thing is common to all digital cameras, all of them have to estimate the number of shots by dividing the space by an engineer's idea of a good estimated file size.
#4. "RE: D100 needs remedial math" | In response to Reply # 3SheldonYoung Basic MemberMon 16-Sep-02 10:39 PM
I couldn't figure out why the D100 would get the estimate for uncompressed RAW files wrong some times, allowing an extra image to be stored. Turns out in the RAW file there's a 160x100 pixel JPEG so the file sizes vary slightly.

For sale are a set of 4 CTS-V wheels with Pirelli Slicks and new sensors. The wheels are track wheels so scratched up a bit, however are true. The tires have 3 heat cycles and are 245/645/18. The sensors are new. I bought the tires from a guy selling them as take offs from a Porsche Cup series. I put three laps on them at Road America and that's it. They have been stored inside so no cold cracking at all.

Once in a Lifetime
by Talking Heads
Lyricist David Byrne wrote "Once in a Lifetime" like a religious sermon. He uses the cadence, timbre, and rhetorical techniques of preachers as his character sings about the realization of the great place the world is. Byrne says, "So much of it was taken from the style of radio evangelists. So I would improvise lines as if I was giving a sermon in that meter, in a kind of hyperventilating style." That "hyperventilating style" that Byrne adopts reflects the passion and intensity of preachers.
Intensity is built up throughout the verses with repetition. Each line begins the same, employing the rhetorical strategy of anaphora:
"And you may ask yourself: how do I work this?
And you may ask yourself: where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself: this is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself: this is not my beautiful wife!"
This pattern continues throughout the entire song, which is fitting considering that beneath the track is a looping the bass riff.
Another aspect of the preacher style shapes the chorus: call-and-response. Call-and-response is a musical technique where one melody line seems to respond to the previous one. Gospel music and gospel preachers use this heavily. A gospel sermon is more than a preacher talking to the crowd; the preacher will rile the crowd up to get them involved, feeding off their murmurs and comments, and then everybody breaks into song and dance. Listen to the chorus and see how the melody of "Letting the days go by" and "let the water hold me down" seem to argue with each other. It builds a kind of reverent excitement and celebratory mood in the song.

I was wondering if anyone had a turtle and could tell me how strong they are/ do they cope well with small kids? DS is crazy about turtles, and I told him once we get moved to Cali maybe he could have one....he was very excited, but DH didn't think it was a great idea. I figured I would get him one anyway, if they don't do well with little ones I would get him a realistic looking toy, then he gets one, and mommy didn't lie.
Pet Turtle?

I know turtles can carry salmonella, but handling it would be a mommy and DS thing (probably kept in my room or a family room so I can keep an eye on DS thinking about wanting to get it out) and we would always wash hands before and after.

My kids wanted a turtle in the worst way, but after some research, I decided not to go the turtle route...from what I read, you can get salmonella from turtles...here is a link I found:
good luck!
I am a teacher and our class pet is a water turtle. During the school year it stays in my classroom but during the summer I bring it home. I think it's a great pet. I've read that turtles last forever. We feed the turtle twice a day (which is probably too much) and I change the water probably every two weeks. My ODS is 6 and my middle son is 4. I let both of them "pet" the turtle with strict instructions that they cannot touch their faces and they must wash their hands immediately after they are done. I supervise them the entire time though. My students are allowed to pet the turtle when I clean the tank with the same instructions. Turtles are pretty resilient too because ours has gone an entire week without eating (during Spring Break I couldn't get into my classroom) and he did fine.
Thanks...I am glad someone else is positive about it...I have had mostly negative responses other places I was trying to get an opinion on turtles with kids.

Grandma got my DS a turtle 2 weeks ago without asking me. Things are going great. DS won't hold it but loves looking at and calling it "tutle". Advice wash hand, wash hands, wash hands and enjoy it.
We wanted to get a turtle but a crab instead . It was only $4 and came with 2 weeks warranty :) DS ended up loving him even more than a turtle because the crab can move so much faster.
