associated chance content fans feature forward invited looking news online placing press production snap testing video
We've never been big fans of beta testing at 1010 WINS. However, when the Associated Press invited us to participate in their new Online Video Network, we jumped at the chance to feature topical news video on our site. The integration was a snap and their production is top-notch. We're looking forward to prominently placing APOVN content on the new 1010wins.com.
caught great horse
He's been a great horse for the stable, but the handicapper has caught up with him now.
angles bad beyond coverage create gas gave hit impact looking obvious wins
Our sense when it hit was that it was bad but could have been worse. For us, the coverage we gave it was a lot. We weren't looking to create angles beyond the obvious ones, like the impact on gas prices. That isn't the WINS way.

I was really proud of the way they ran.

This is the worst thing about waiting for someone. You have to look good all the time because they could turn up at any minute and see you before you've seen them
tired cutting night
Some field days can be tough. I've worked inside fuel tanks with 3 foot ceilings, in -42 to +42 Celsius temperatures, in snow and smoke and hail, and I've dug through snow and ice and pavement to find legal evidence. I've worked clear through the night by headlamp, and I've flown in a rickety long-islander with propane tanks strapped into the other seats. I've jury-rigged missing equipment, broken into my own truck, and cut out an emergency helicopter pad with a machete. I've been hungry, cold, tired, lost, injured, and downright hopeless!
mistake important easy
It's easy to be hard on ourselves, but the important thing is to turn a mistake into a learning experience.
pain mistake errors
The most difficult days have been the ones I've had to spend correcting a mistake. We're all human, and we make errors in spite of the pains we take not to. It's important to take ownership of the situation and to work to make it right.
reading years honor
Sometimes I imagine a surveyor 100 years from now reading my plan, retracing my boundaries, and finding the monuments that I set. It's an honor to make a mark in history like that.
responsibility land should
Professional land surveyors take on a lot of responsibility, and should be compensated appropriately.
land salary lawyer
In general, salary for land surveyors is often similar to that of a professional engineer or lawyer - surveyors are often "comfortable" but not "wealthy."
