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.
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.
proud
I was really proud of the way they ran.
office
I don't like him. I would like to see him out of office.
surprise
I don't really like him in the first place, so this doesn't surprise me at all.
helps sand stick surface tension
You get surface tension with the water. That helps the sand grains stick together.
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.
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."
land demand surveyors
Legal land surveyors are few and far between and can find themselves in demand.
land oil people
People sometimes are under the impression that finding their property corners should cost as much as changing their oil or blowing out their sprinklers. What they don't realize is that land surveyors are required to stand behind their work for the rest of their lives.
technology reality expectations
There's a popular misconception that property boundaries are based on coordinates that surveyors can simply "walk to" with our instruments. The reality is that, while physical coordination of monuments is easier than it's ever been, property boundaries often need to be determined based on evidence and plans that are old, decrepit, and done with different technology and expectations than we have today.
land office lucky
I'm lucky enough to split my time between the field and the office. Some land surveyors in larger outfits can work mostly from behind a desk, managing many field crews at once.
land giving chance
Land surveying has been a positive influence on my life, and I'd encourage anyone who hasn't considered it to give it a chance!
