Some may find this of Interest
"Arizona State vs. USC Football: Cheerleader Showdown of the Week"
For example
Meet Lisa Blanco. She's a Sports Illustrated Cheerleader of the Week.
She's got a thing for In-N-Out, the burger joint. And she can't resist Animal Style Fries.
You read that right, Animal Style."

Not too shabby if you're looking for a trip in January or February 2011.

I use pipe all the time to segment multiple values stored in a single field.

Any advice or suggestions with regard to the following would be greatly appreciated:
I've wanted to see Cologne and Aachen for quite a while. Probably for at least 15 years (I've never been to either). I'd also like to see Hong Kong and Singapore (I've been to both, but it has been about 7 years or so).
I have a week off between Christmas and New Years. I also have two weeks off in late January.
It seems that, during Christmas week, two people can fly from YYC to FRA for around 3418 (in Y both ways); 5826 (J going, Y return); or 7484 (in J both ways). I figure that a hotel would run around $1K for the week, and maybe another 500-750 for food, local transport, and admission fees.
It also seems that, during late January, two people can fly from YYC to HKG for around 3K (in Y both ways); 6500 (Y going, J return), or 9500 (in J both ways). It will probably cost an additional 500-750 to go from HKG to SIN and back, and hotels, food, etc would likely run around $4K for the 8-10 days of being there.
Now, without getting too specific, let's just say that I've got the money. A $23,500 hit would be noticeable, but it isn't too substantial and I suspect that I could make it back up in about a month or 6 weeks. That sum is equivalent to the price of a car, or perhaps a small house downpayment, to be sure, but I'm not in the market for either of those and I won't be anytime soon.
I know that life is short, that you should enjoy your money, and so on, but, well: how do you convince yourself to just spend the money and take the trips? And, if you do decide to take the trips, how do you decide to fly in Y, Y/J, or J?

Remember them? I'm sitting in a computer lab at work right now with at least 5-6 of those mice in here. Most in here are optical. And then there's my wireless laser mouse that works on even clear glass tabletops. One of the people in here who always ends up with a roller ball mouse keeps threatening to steal mine.
