Camelback Mountain - Echo Canyon (Summit) Trail
by CarlNelson on Sep 10, 2008
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Hiking | 2.6 miles (7.7 miles away)
The classic Phoenix-area hike featuring a challenging ascent and great views
. Lots of friendly hikers on the trail to give encouragement. Very
difficult scrambling at the handrail section. Reaching the summit is very
rewarding!

发帖数: 893 | 5 water is certainly one key for lawn care. but I think another key is grow a
healthy lawn. you will have to do all the work in the other three seasons to
ensure the lawn to survive the drought. you can install rain barrows (at
the end of the drain pipe) to collect rain water from your roof. it's
cheaper and more worthwhile than separate meters. |

发帖数: 688 | 6 Is $100 for a Heating System Check-up a good price? Such a check-up at this
price quote, from what I was told, includes two furnaces and they come to
check for whether the burner needs clean/adjustments and whether any parts
of the system needs repair/replacement and whether vent cleaning would be
needed, but no actual fixes will be performed.
Is such service worthwhile?
Is such a price a good one? |

Any one give me some advices and suggested prices, and is it worthwhile to

I didn't buy much from Walmart and Target in Boston so there is no

Before I left Boston, I bought a box of Lactaid milk in Market Basket for $2

supermarket) for $3.99.
It is not worthwhile to be a 房奴 in OC. If not for green card, I wouldn't

发帖数: 10208 | 20 多少年的房贷是最佳的？这样的问题经常被人问及，答案也总是因人而异。下面的文章
给了你一个侧面的分析，体现了普通美国人对金融和理财的观念。
华裔和一般的美国人在理财观念上有不少的差异，各有优势各有劣势，很难说谁的办法
更好。所以。具体的理性和专业性的分析，也就显得非常的重要。
就房贷时间长短的选择而言，有好几个因素必须考虑：
第一，多少房贷你可以承担？如果三十年是唯一你可以承担的房贷，那么，你已经没有
选择，也不用选择了——就是它！如果你可以承担五年、十年、十五年任何长度的房贷
，也就是说，你的财力足够强大，那么，你就得考虑下一个问题了。
第二，你的理财能力——也就是说，资金在你自己手里有多大的升值能力，为了这样的
升值，你需要承担的风险是不是足够低？如果比你预期要坏很多的情形（小概率事件）
发生，你是不是能够坦然应对？而你将钱放到房子上，就相当于是购买了和你的房贷利
息一样高的定期CD，是没有多少投资风险的。你不可以基于已经过去的几年股市的投资
回报，来预测你未来的可能实现的投资回报。在这方面，我有好几个非常沉痛的朋友故
