Gnawing at the roots
A Wheel of Time fic by Gigi.
Disclaimer: I only own one copy of each Robert Jordan's (R.I.P.) published Wheel of Time books. No more.
Chapter 3: Finding a Purpose
A/N: So I'm finally updating this, which is such a relief to me. I'm reading The Gathering Storm bit by bit at my bookstore, because I really don't want to pay thirty dollars for a book that's hardback, thus throwing off my entire collection of his books. I need my balance. Anyway, I'm really in a Wheel of Time mood, so I hope you are, too. Enjoy!
Leane had spent the night in an inn just outside the Tower grounds, wearing a disguise that only vaguely resembled her true appearance, making it rather difficult to retain. Her hair, instead of her own dark, shoulder-length locks, hung in short ringlets of brown tinged with red and gold. It was a unique color, but her sister had such hair, so it was legitimate enough for a Domani woman. If there were anyone's example to follow when teaching the art of seduction, it would be her sister, Marlene's. Almost from her nameday, Marlene'd had suitors tail after her all day.
Making her skin darker and her eyes larger, Leane found the weave easier to hold with every passing hour as the lingering effects of her last dose of forkroot before the attack slowly wore away. By the next morning, after going to sleep with a tied-off semblance of her disguise from the day, she'd regained almost all of her strength, especially after eating a hearty meal from the homely innkeeper.
As soon as she finished her breakfast, she paid the innkeeper with money from a small account she'd managed to hide in a secret pocket in her dress. Checking her remaining money, she saw she had enough money to buy a new dress. Maintaining a weave on clothing could be sloppy business, as it was very subject to flicker the true garments underneath, and a Domani woman petitioning the Amyrlin to teach the novices very well couldn't be wearing a dull brown woolen dress. That type of dress would announce to the Tower that, despite her disguised features, Leane was free from the cells.
On her way out of the inn, Leane glanced at the clock sitting on the mantelpiece of the common room – clocks may have been considered a luxury in any other city inn, but almost all Tar Valon inns had at least one. She wouldn't have time to get a dress made, and hardly any store would sell already constructed clothes; that would be wasteful. Leane heaved a deep breath and stepped out into the streets of Tar Valon.
Leane walked into the first shop she encountered and quickly scoped out the seamstress herself. The woman was slender, about Leane's size, which was fortunate, with pale yellow hair that hung down her back in a thick, intricate braid. Her large blue eyes sat well with her small nose and rosebud mouth, which spread into a warm smile upon seeing Leane. "Good morning, my Lady," she greeted. There was a slight hesitation in adding the title, because while Leane's face and carriage conveyed nobility, her drab woolen dress most certainly did now.
Nodding in acceptance, Leane allowed a small smile of her own. "Good morning," she replied. "I am in urgent need of a dress. I am on my way to speak to the Amyrlin, and last night my room was broken into while I was at dinner. So now I am left in my last and rattiest travel dress, and there would be no dignity in addressing her in this." The seamstress nodded thoughtfully, understanding and relief flashing in her eyes at having addressed her correctly. "I hope you can help me. I have no time to get a dress made, you see." Realization made those large blue eyes widen ever so slightly. Buying the dress off a woman's back was hardly proper, but nevertheless, the woman cocked her head to the side in consideration. "Under normal circumstances, I would never ask such a thing, but I would be more than willing to compensate for your troubles," Leane added. "I can pay you the price of sewing a new dress if you would be so kind as to let me purchase yours."
After a few more seconds deliberating the woman finally nodded. "Okay," she affirmed. "Let's go in the back and see if any alterations need to be made."
Egwene had two new Red attendants following her today. Katerine, obviously, was no longer available to watch "that al'Vere girl," from sunup to sundown. What happened to the other Red, the Tairen, Egwene could only imagine, though, out of the two possibilities she had in mind, neither were quite pleasant to think about.
When Egwene entered the dining hall, the novices were all abuzz with the news of the disaster in the open cells. Apparently, those who had discovered the scene had very little grasp on the concept of discretion and had allowed it to become common knowledge. Internally, Egwene tsked at the poor handling of the problem. Bigger events had been sealed to the Hall, more catastrophic occurrences had been hidden from the novices, the Accepted and the majority of the sisters in order to prevent a panic. As she passed by the girls all clad in white, she picked up on the air of unease that surrounded every table. A hundred girls, children, in a panic would do absolutely no good to the situation in the Tower. They needed to be handled before the situation progressed to such a state.
A novice stood next to Egwene's usual seat, marked by a battered cushion, holding a tray with Egwene's breakfast. Egwene smiled in appreciation, moved aside the cushion and took her seat at the wooden table. The novice, Alrenne, set down the tray in front of her and bobbed a curtsy before moving to sit at her own place. She stopped, however, and quietly approached her again.
"Mother," she addressed softly, "there has been talk of an attack on some of the sisters down in the open cells."
Egwene motioned for the girl to sit. This was not a conversation to be had standing up. One needed support when discussing something so grave as this. "Yes, there was an attack."
"Does that mean that the…the Black Ajah really exists?" Alrenne's voice dropped to a whisper for the last half of her question, as if saying the name would bring a Black sister down on her.
"This attack proves nothing, child," Egwene said sternly, "only that everyone should tread more carefully."
"Then do you know who was behind it?" Alrenne pressed.
This gave Egwene pause as she debated what exactly to tell her. "I have my theories, but I fear the reason behind the attack should be of more concern than the who."
"The reason, Mother?"
"Any of the rumors that have sprouted because of this will indicate that it was relatively small-scaled, an aimed assault with a purpose," Egwene answered solemnly. "Until we root out that purpose and resolve it, the attacks will not cease, no matter how many of the offenders we catch."
Alrenne left soon after to go to her first class, leaving Egwene alone to contemplate her own words. She was right in assuming there would be another attack. She just hoped that others, Elaida and the Hall in particular, would be so wise as to assume the same.
A/N: There you go. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, but I really won't know until you press that pretty button and REVIEW!

I know there is some big mall nearby with a Cowboys store and a Gameworks, so that will be good to keep the kids entertained some. I was wondering if there were any good restaurants nearby that would be good to check out. Also, if there are any other activities nearby that we should check out, please post those too. We'll have time Sunday afternoon and Monday morning until it's time to tailgate!

Resort Living Comes to Renters
Developers Add Private Movie Rooms, Poker Lounges to Attract 'Echo Boomers'
ADDISON, Texas—A multibillion-dollar apartment-construction boom is under way in which developers are pulling out all the stops to cater to the new generation of renters who grew up in McMansions and vacationed with their parents at fancy resorts.
The garden-style apartments of yesteryear are out. To appeal to "echo boomers," roughly defined as those born in the 1980s and early 1990s, the new urban apartment buildings offer...

With two kids under two, backpacking is all about day trips with overnight trips from what people here in Norway call "cabin to cabin hiking" coming up, I hope to fit as much kit as possible in a large waist pack. I plan to carry our toddler in a carrier that keeps her close to my back, and leaves some space between her and my waist, which made me think that I could manage without pushing an off-road pram. A previous thread here mentioned that Rivendell has a large one. Of the big companies, osprey has the lightest of the largish ones, about 8 litres.
I'd love to pick the brains and experience of the gang here at BPL, looking forward to any suggestions.

Welcome to INFO 1903 (Semester 1, 2014)
Important course information (including lecture slides) will be available on this website, which will be updated throughout the semester. The information will also be accessible by enrolled students through the University eLearning system; there (but not here) you can stream the recordings of lectures.
Unit of Study description
Analysing empirical information is the cornerstone of many domains, including science, engineering, economics and social science. Graduates in these domains must be able to process, manipulate and present the growing quantities of data effectively. Although computing should play a key role, we rarely exploit the full power of existing or custom software to efficiently convert data into information and then knowledge. INFO1903 will equip students with the skills and techniques for exploiting data effectively.
INFO1903 covers advanced data processing and management, integrating the use of existing productivity software, e.g. spreadsheets and databases, with the development of custom software using the powerful general-purpose Python scripting language. It will focus on skills directly applicable to research in any quantitative domain.
The course will also cover presentation of data through written publications and dynamically generated web pages, visual representations and oral presentation skills.The assessment, a semester long project, involves the demonstration of these skills and techniques for processing and presenting data in a choice of domains.
This course outline is also available in the Engineering Faculty Handbook.

Poem for Maundy Thursday and Easter
Tom Graffagnino, yet another friend of the CADRE, has published another poem, but unlike most that I have linked to the CADRE site, this poem deals with the majesty and mystery of the Passion. Entitled "Only Jesus Knew the Score", it reads, in part:
When they sang the Hymn that evening,
Only Jesus knew the score...
Those glad and joyful verses,
Hid the pain that was in store.
Jesus saw the torture coming...
The crown of thorns pressed on his head;
He knew the mocking and the scourging,
Even as He broke the Bread.
He saw The Cross and Roman soldiers;
He understood those painful signs,
That the Prophets had once spoken...
Even as He poured the wine.
He knew well there at The Table,
Of the wicked heart of man....
He saw clearly Calv'ry's bloodshed,
And nails driven through His hands.
He knew the pain, the spit, the laughing...
He knew the spear would pierce his side;
He knew death by crucifixion,
Was how Messiah had to die.
As always, I encourage everyone to visit his website (go to the page "Essays")and read the rest of the poem as well as many of his others. Good stuff, Tom.

"Times of Malta" newspaper has published an interview of Azerbaijani Ambassador to Italy Vagif Sadigov, who has got concurrent accreditation to Malta and San-Marino.
The Ambassador touched upon a number of issues, including Azerbaijan`s foreign policy priorities, the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, relations with Malta and the Azerbaijan-European Union cooperation.
He said: "An independent, active and agile foreign policy, which is the base for national interests and political, economic and social successes, is being conducted in Azerbaijan. Our bilateral and multilateral relations are the structure of the foreign policy, which we built within international legal norms and principles and according to international commitments. Azerbaijan builds strategic cooperation relations with other countries under the principle of good neighbourhood relations and within not interfere in internal affairs, equality, mutual respect and productive cooperation. In connection with geographical, historic, geopolitical factors, the foreign policy of Azerbaijan is not limited with only one region, and along with the South Caucasus covers Caspian region, Southeast Europe, Central Asia, the Islamic world, post soviet and Euro-Atlantic space. Thanks to this policy Azerbaijan is been recognized in whole world as a reliable partner, and a number of countries are keen on close cooperation with Azerbaijan."
Mr. Sadigov noted that the very important issue for Azerbaijan was settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: "Indifferent regard of the international community to rough violation of Azerbaijan`s sovereignty resulted with the after 90th similar situations in Georgia, Moldova, and currently in Ukraine."
According to the Diplomat protection of independence and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, halt of Armenian aggression, promotion of economic interests, energy and transportation strategy, deliver of truths about Azerbaijan to the world and relations with Azerbaijani diaspora abroad are the priorities of Azerbaijan`s foreign policy. He said: "From this point of view, Azerbaijan is also interested in strengthening of relations with Malta. There are good opportunities for future cooperation in a number of fields, including political, economic, financial, energy, cultural, educational and tourism ones."
Highlighting relations with the European Union, Mr. Sadigov stressed the importance for bringing these relations to the level of strategic partnership which would be productive for the two countries: "Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat`s Azerbaijan trip at the end of the last year was an important event. Meetings of the Prime Minister with President Ilham Aliyev and his Azerbaijani counterpart were important from the point of discussion of current situation of and prospects for bilateral relations, as well as international issues in which the both countries are interested. The documents signed during the visit paved the way for our future cooperation."
The diplomat stressed Azerbaijan became important partner for EU in political, security and economic fields, and projects being implemented by the initiative of Azerbaijan would be productive to whole Europe, including Malta. "From this point of view, TANAP and TAP projects should be specially stressed. These projects, which are expected to be launched until 2019 will change the energy landscape of Europe," Mr. Sadigov underlined.
Speaking on the activity of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), the Ambassador noted that the Company was interested in participation in the projects being implemented in Malta. He stressed the importance of SOCAR`s participation as shareholder company in the project on construction of a new power station, which would provide Enemalta Corporation with electricity and liquefied gas for 18 years: "SOCAR is an interested side in realization of various projects over oil and gas industry. The strategy of the Company, which expands its activity in a number of countries, includes projects, which are expected to be realized in Malta."

"...Finally, it is my opinion that an individual may not keep a firearm stored in his vehicle at a place of employment if there is a
company policy or signage prohibiting firearms on the premises."
If it is a company policy only, you're only breaking company policy and not law. The most they can do is fire you, and if they are searching your car that's probably already a foregone conclusion. If you are concerned about storing your firearm in your car at work in their parking lot, mail yourself an empty envelope or box. Then use it to store your firearm in inside your car. It is a Federal Offense for your employer to look at your personal mail regardless of if it has been opened or not.

and , yes, the issue we were working on this passed legislative session was primarily for those w/o a CHP.
However, there was also the issue of one person having a CHP and one not. Say, a CHP holder and spouse w/o a CHP were going somewhere and the CHP holder was driving. Now say, he/she needed to disarm to go in a place that is no guns. Under some anti-gun States Attorneys reading of the old law the passenger would have the exit the car before the driver disarmed.
BTW, this law also applies to boats. I, for one, am happy that there is no convoluted question as to keeping a hand gun in a "secure container" on my boat.
BTW2, there is still an issue of what constitutes "open", also. I hope we tackle that soon.

From our home in Kent, we went every year on holiday to Babbacombe during the 1950's and early 1960's. We stayed with my 'Aunty Amy' and 'Uncle Matt' at their boarding house, 18 Perinville Road. It was the most magic time imaginable. I can't remember it ever raining! It must have done, of course, but it seems as if the sun was always shining. We would spend the morning on the beach - usually Redgate Beach (now sadly closed because of landfalls) or Oddicombe and have such fun, splashing about in the sea, exploring the rockpools, etc. We would then go back to the house for lunch, stopping off on the way at the Mason's Arms for a pre-lunch drink in their garden overlooking Wallshill Downs. The smell of cider still takes me back there every time! Then, after lunch, back to the beach again for the afternoon before high tea at about 6 p.m. Once - and only once - during each holiday we were allowed a knickerbocker glory at one of the cafes. Every year it was the same and it was always wonderful! We would meet the same people, including Chris who was the beach inspector on Redgate Beach and the ice-cream man at the entrance to Wallshill Downs. The journey from Kent in my Dad's old Austin 10 used to take about 12 hours! No motorways, of course, and there was always the Honiton by-pass to navigate..... my brother and I would get so excited as we got nearer and nearer, past Exeter and through into "proper" Devon and then through St. Marychurch and then at last, at last we were there. Aunty Amy would be waiting at the top of the drive at No. 18 and we would burst out of the car and run up into her arms. Wonderful, wonderful memories.

Chapter Two
The image inside the door mirrored Damien's perfect world. The sky was bright blue and no clouds were in sight. The sun's bright glow beamed to the ground, through the leaves of a huge oak tree, creating spotted shadows cast by the green leaves on the floor.
The air that wafted through the land was cool and calming; it was refreshing, and was the perfect thing to balance out the perfect heat of the bright sun. At first, it seemed that nothing else was there apart from the tree and two hills behind that tree. But seconds later, the scene dissapated into a white land with a lane leading to a huge white hall, with columns to hold up the Greek-styled roof. The ground seemed like everything had lost its colour, but still looked beautiful; like an artistic black-and-white photograph.
A gust of wind lifted white dust from the ground, causing it to dance in the air, in perfect harmony with the wind. Damien knew that he should go to the building- it was the only place to go. He walked nervously up the pathway to find that encased in the confides of the building were millions of people. On the outside, it looked as if it could barely fit fifty. But the inside looked bigger- and grander. A great, glistening chandelier hung from the roof, creating a light that was everything but artificial. The walls (which were invisible from outside) were golden and covered in beautiful paintings of cherubs and doves flying together. The windows were very simple, but in a way that made them lok like they were made from the earth; as if they were made purely naturally to be there.
"Hello, everyone. I am God." A voice erupted from an empty throne-like chair. The voice was quiet yet heard by everyone. And it had an accent that wasn't from Earth.

Last month, it was reported that patent troll VirnetX is seeking $532 million in damages from Apple, claiming that the company has taken its intellectual property without permission. The suit focused on a variety of VirnetX patents relating to technology used in creating Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs. VirnetX said that Apple's own VPN technology, as well as its iMessage and FaceTime services, infringe on its patents. After another week of hearing, the East Texas Federal District Court has now unanimously ruled that Apple owes VirnetX $625 million in damages.

UK High Court ruling effectively outlaws ripping CDs into iTunes, Time Machine, iTunes Match and Apple Music
It appears it's not just governments who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near technology – it's also courts. The UK's High Court recently overturned legislation permitting citizens to duplicate copyrighted material for their own private use, and TorrentFreak confirmed with the UK Intellectual Property Office that the ruling really is as dumb as it sounds.
"It is now unlawful to make private copies of copyright works you own, without permission from the copyright holder – this includes format shifting from one medium to another," a spokesperson informed us.
The IPO specifically notes that copying a CD to an MP3 player is not permitted. This means that iTunes' popular ripping feature, which Apple actively promotes during the software's installation, is illegal.
The ruling would also effectively outlaw Time Machine (as it copies music files), and the current behaviour of both iTunes Match and Apple Music, each of which copies music to a cloud server. And it's not just citizens who fall foul of this law – Apple does too … expand full story

Pieces in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal suggest that the real target of Apple's second courtroom patent battle with Samsung may be Android.
Some features in Samsung devices that Apple objects to are part of Google's Android operating system, by far the most popular mobile operating system worldwide, running on more than a billion devices made by many manufacturers. That means that if Apple wins, Google could have to make changes to critical Android features, and Samsung and other Android phone makers might have to modify the software on their phones …
Jury selection begins today for the second patent case between the two companies after mediation attempts failed. Apple is seeking around $2B in damages for five patents it alleges Samsung has violated, while Samsung is counter-claiming that Apple is in violation of two of its own patents.

In its ongoing second major patent trial against Samsung, Apple yesterday filed a statement with the US District Court in California claiming that after examining the recently released Galaxy S4 it has "concluded that it is an infringing device and accordingly intends to move for leave to add the Galaxy S4" to its long list of 22 infringing products. Apple is hoping Judge Lucy Koh allows the S4 to be added, but in line with the court's request to reduce the number of infringing devices ahead of a trial scheduled for spring 2014, Apple has also agreed to remove without prejudice one of the other 22 infringing devices from Samsung it currently has listed.
Apple's current list of infringing Samsung products include Admire, Captivate Glide, Conquer 4G, Dart, Exhibit II 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Player 4.0, Galaxy Player 5.0, Galaxy Rugby Pro, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy SII Skyrocket, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 2 10, Illusion, and Stratosphere.
The filing also highlights a disagreement in which Samsung believes each carrier variant of a specific device should be counted separately. For example, "the Galaxy Nexus activated on Sprint must be counted separately from the Galaxy Nexus activated on Verizon; and the Galaxy Nexus operating on Sprint running Android version 4.0 must be counted separately from the Galaxy Nexus operating on Sprint, but running Android version 4.1." Apple, however, claims that Samsung has not itself applied this logic: expand full story

Let's see each step in detail.
First things first ,
Azure ADDS service is currently in preview and requires the virtual network should be in the same region where ADDS Services are available. Also, VNET has to be created in the classic mode, as currently, ADDS does not support ARM based VNETs.
For this article, we will be creating our AD and classic VNET in East US location, where ADDS is available.
List of available azure services by region can be seen here - Services by region .
Create AD and configure administrative group.
Let's start from the scratch and crate a brand new Azure AD with the name 'alphacorpinc'. Currently, Azure AD management operations are supported only through classic Azure portal.

Landlord tenant law concerns landlord and tenants' rights and responsibilities. Because the apartment you rent is your own personal space, the law places many limits on landlords' activities. For example, if a landlord tries to make you move without giving you enough notice, or ignores a rat infestation in your apartment, a landlord / tenant lawyer knows what options you have as a tenant. On the other hand, a landlord / tenant lawyer also helps landlords who have tenants breaking rules, such as moving out three months early or refusing to pay rent. Tenant eviction laws are very specific, with different rules in each city. If you are being evicted or if you have a tenant you want to evict, you may benefit from the services of a landlord / tenant lawyer.

DCeptette: Globalism and its douchebags version.
- John Tsombikos, the ubiquitous stencil artist who's Borfed our Metropolis nearly to death, deserves credit for having balls big as the swing of Tiger Woods. But as a cultural theorist, he's strictly Grade 9 bullshit. His own words reveal once again that it's better to shut your trap and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. With a Reading Rainbow-level grasp of subversive art he probably picked up one day reading some brochure in a chaise by his backyard pool in Langley, Virginia, where, as was his wont, he spent many a day sipping a San Pellegrino and being so deliciously bored with all his possessions and priviledge, conceived a painfully naive worldview shot through with a deep and abiding Peter Pan complex and decided to inflict it upon the city, all the while thinking of himself as the next editor-in-chief of AdBusters. Not that you could get any of that from his graffiti, but I guess being articulate is all square and adult and corporate, yo! Rage against the washing machine we bought from Sharper Image! Now that he's been revealed to be so whitebread that not even Ryan Phillipe could play him in the movie of his life, it's hard to imagine he'll go down in graff gang history as anything other than a poseur gentrifying the world of outsider culture. At any rate, you gotta love his Mom. She's like Fenton's mother from Home Movies. She's really got it going on! Unless, of course, your sense of maternal standards involves actually, you know, providing some sort of fucking guidance to your kid. I believe the story of Borf tagging the Acropolis now--mommy probably put the European trip on her Amex as a graduation present. Borf: so boojy. (Post)
- Holy shit! New York City is apparently all out of drummers! (Craigslist)
- Washington Times slags Arlington County Democrats for going to Hawaii for an annual meeting. Oh, you mean just like when Tom Ridge went to "PARTY PARTY PARTY" when he was supposed to be watching my back? The article ends with mendacity posing as fact. They say: "Room rates at the five Waikiki hotels listed for convention attendees range from $179 to $295 a night." I SAY: Yeah, for you or me to attend. These attendees are getting the government rate. THEY SAY: "Some counties have reported costs of up to $10,000 to send a few of their government officials to Honolulu." I SAY: What are the names of this counties, asshole? THEY SAY: "Conference attendees also can participate in a variety of tourist activities -- ranging from cruises to luaus -- for an additional cost." I SAY: I call bullshit. You're intentionally omitting the fact that the cost is out-of-pocket. Can you prove Arlington's going to foot the bill on that? No? Then shut the fuck up. BOTTOM LINE: The conference is in Richmond next year, so it's all going to come out in the wash, isn't it? (Turdblossom Times)
- Somehow, I've become an uncredited content provider for Big Yawn. Well, they do need writers. (7-13-05 Odds and Ends, second item)
- Ernie Grunfeld, I'm sorry I doubted you. Wizards trade Kwame to LA for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins--even though no one thought we could get Chucky Fuckin' Cheese for Kwame. The Wizards front office must have bloodstreams fulla midichlorian goodness to work this Jedi Mindfuck on Doc Buss and Coach Zen. Now you got clubhouse diseases Kobe and Kwame hooping on the same floor? Shit, that's not team chemistry, that's team oncology. I'm still gonna miss Larry, but surely this qualifies Grunfeld for a MacArthur Evil Genius Grant. (DCist, by the Information Leafblower)

PR Newswire
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2014
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- At Van Rental Center, you'll find a large variety of vans at affordable rates – and provided by a truly dedicated service team. Conveniently located near LAX, they provide the van rental Los Angeles residents trust first and foremost for a variety of travel needs throughout the city. However, as perfect as their vehicles and van rental rates are for Los Angeles travelers, they're perhaps even better for those looking to get out of town – and with Memorial Day around the corner, there's no better time to set out, and set up camp amidst the region's scenic natural wonders.
Though Los Angeles is famous for its urban sprawl, visitors are often surprised to learn that it doesn't take long to find themselves in the midst of truly stunning natural vistas that are perfect spots to pitch a tent. Just about 10 miles north of Santa Monica, you'll find rugged mountainous terrain and ocean views at Malibu Creek State Park. Imagine picking up your vehicle at Van Rental Center near LAX and finding yourself camping in scenic wonder only an hour later!
For the traveler with an adventurous spirit, there is perhaps no better option than Joshua Tree National Park. The expansive desert landscape, breathtaking rock formations and unusual trees that give the park its name create a truly exotic atmosphere that is unlike anywhere else on Earth. Spring is perhaps the best time to camp out in this park, though, as the 100+ degree summer days might have you stowed away in your air-conditioned van rental for most of the day!
There's only one problem with exploring the diverse climates and natural beauty of the Southwest – it will leave you wanting to keep exploring throughout the region. Fortunately, with a vehicle from Van Rental Center, you can – vans can be driven out of state, as long as you inform one of their friendly agents. Better still, for most rentals of three days or more that stay within CA, AZ and NV, customers can enjoy unlimited mileage, and for rentals of a month or more, you can receive even more generous offers. Even if you're not feeling the call of the wild, that's okay too – Van Rental Center offers convenient pick up and drop off at numerous luxury hotels and throughout L.A.
A backyard barbecue is nice, but because of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, you often need to get out of town to really relax on the long holiday weekend. With the supportive staff and first-rate vehicles of Van Rental Center, your trip will always leave you refreshed and eager to enjoy the majestic wonders of Southern California. For further information, including details on pick-ups, drop-offs and other services offered by Van Rental Center, call 1-855-267-VANS. Information can also be found on the web at www.vanrentalcenter.com.

Lauras Canine Solutions announces the components of canine training and the benefits of dog boarding
Lauras Canine Solutions announces the approaches to canine training on household dogs and explains the options of canine training including dog boarding and private training lessons.
If any pet owner finds themselves saying "bad dog" more than "good dog" its time to seek canine training help from a professional. By assessing the strengths and weaknesses of a dog, professional trainers design canine training plans to achieve maximum results.
Laura's canine solutions offers dog boarding in New Braunfels in a vast, rural setting that takes two weeks to complete. It is different from the canine training in Cibolo, but it follows the same format of teaching basic commands, positive and appropriate reactions, respect, obedience, and common problems like house breaking to serious issues such as anxiety and aggression. If dog boarding is not an option for the family, dog training in Cibolo covers the same training features with even more specialized training options.
Training a dog is important because it establishes a purpose for the canine. Training sets the stage for a happy life full of respect and happiness for both the dog and owner. Dogs can be unpredictable so canine training can help to bring canines closer to family members, becoming a functioning part of the family.
For more information on dog boarding in New Braunfels and canine training visit www.larascaninesolutions.com or call 830.904.4863.
