I have been with various travel groups but this trip was better than any I've ever been on. Everything was well planned; these guys had it to down to a science. On most tours at least one thing goes wrong, but not with Smithsonian. They're total experts and professionals and I can't think of anything that they could have done better.

5 reviews | 3 out of 5
First off this bike has some pretty good looks in my opinion. Its got the matte black finish with silver lettering and design. It comes almost fully assembled; all you have to do is install the bars, front wheel, pedals, kickstand, and seat. The bike will require a tune up because the gears were a little out of sync but i guess that is expected when buying from a department store. The only thing that I had a problem with is the seat was not very comfortable and the grips offer very little cushioning and support. These were easy fixes and should not deter you from buying this bike. If you are an avid rider, then maybe this is not for you. But I use it for fitness and it more than satisfies my need. It was a shot in the dark for me buying it with nobody offering reviews, but it worked out in the end. Very pleased with it!
Good bike. Does NOT come with 700C wheels/tires. Comes with 26" wheels and 1.50 road type tires. Very fast. Easy to assemble. Straight forward "Old School" kind of a mountain bike.
This is a really nice bike!It is very light and fast and rides great.But it says it is a 24 speed and has 700c wheels and that is not true.they need to update their info so as to not mislead people.
Overall, this is a decent bike. However, you should anticipate approximately an extra $150 in expenditures before you can even ride due to the poor quality of materials (tires/service). When I opened the box, nuts, bolts, and other parts were scattered throughout. One of the smaller boxes inside (meant to hold these parts etc.) was torn and damaged - as if it were jammed into the box. The assembly instructions are not tailored to this bike specifically. There are several parts included with the bike that are not listed in the "Parts" section of the assembly manual - which made assembly quite frustrating. The bolt for the seat stem was covered in gunk that would not allow me to tighten fully - I had to clean and lubricate these bolts before I could assemble. The tires/tubes that come with this bike are horrible. It was shipped to me with a punctured front tube and, according to the bike service technician, was "outfitted with the incorrect spacer for that type of double-walled rim, leaving it prone to puncture". I had to buy two new spacers (rubber liners) and two new tubes (anticipating the back tire will puncture soon; $50 total).
The tires are thin 'street-bike' style tires - so don't anticipate a thick and durable mountain-bike tire. Additional service on the bike (recommended for all of these bikes) was approximately $90, bringing my total up to $140 before I even rode the bike. Pros:
Shipped within 3 business days.
I'd recommend a friend to shop around for a comparable bike that won't require such repairs from the get-go.
I bought the bicycle for a friend of mine who lives overseas. When opened the box noted that the bottom crank was defective

(Barry Gutierrez/AP)With little more than a month before pitchers and catchers report, we're checking in on how each team has fared in conducting its offseason business while acknowledging that there's still time for its prognosis to change. Teams will be presented in reverse order of finish from 2013.Colorado Rockies2013 results: 74-88 (.457), 5th place NL West (Hot Stove Preview)Key departures: RHP Rafael Betancourt, SS Reid Brignac, OF Tyler Colvin, RHP Edgmer Escalona, CF Dexter Fowler, LHP Jeff Francis, 1B Todd Helton, IF Jonathan Herrera, RHP Roy Oswalt, LHP Josh Outman, RHP Drew Pomeranz, C Yorvit Torrealba, OF Drew StubbsKey arrivals: LHP Brett Anderson, CF Brandon Barnes, RHP Greg Burke, RHP LaTroy Hawkins, LHP Pedro Hernandez, LHP Boone Logan, RHP Jordan Lyles, LHP Franklin Morales, 1B Justin MorneauIn 2013, their first year under manager Walt Weiss, the Rockies improved by 10 wins, but then, they had nowhere to go but up following a franchise-record 98 losses in 2012. Nonetheless, it was Colorado's third straight losing season, and changes are inevitably afoot. While general manager Dan O'Dowd has been busy this winter, the team's limited budget -- which will still be considerably higher than last year's Opening Day payroll of $73.9 million -- has forced him to get more done via trade than free agency. None of what's transpired thus far appears as though it will lift the team into contention, though taken together, the moves represent enough improvement to make an escape from the NL West cellar possible.The most striking change about the 2014 Rockies will be the absence of Todd Helton, who retired at the end of the 2013 season after a 17-year run in Colorado. Replacing him at first base will be Justin Morneau, whose two-year, $12.5 million deal represents the team's second-largest expenditure this winter. The going-on-33-year-old is a shadow of his former MVP-caliber self. Amid post-concussion syndrome and a slew of other injuries, his 2013 production (.259/.323/.411 with 17 homers) typifies his post-2010 work. The good news for Colorado is that after adjusting for park, his 108 OPS+ over the past two seasons trumps Helton's 90. The bad news is that Morneau's presence represents a far less ambitious makeover than the initial offseason plan to shift Michael Cuddyer to first base and pursue "a big bat" (owner Dick Monfort's words) for the corner.The outfield will see a major change nonetheless with the trade of Dexter Fowler to the Astros. The move generated an unimpressive return for the 27-year-old centerfielder in the form of light-hitting Brandon Barnes (.240/.289/.346 in 445 PA), who is bench material, and 23-year-old righty Jordan Lyles, a former supplemental first-round pick who's had enough trouble keeping the ball and his ERA down closer to sea level. Lyles had a 5.59 ERA in 2013 and has a career mark of 5.35 in 377 innings.Taking over for Fowler in centerfield will be Carlos Gonzalez, with Corey Dickerson in left. Righty-swinging Drew Stubbs, acquired from Cleveland in a deal for Josh Outman, will serve as a fourth outfielder, getting playing time largely when either Dickerson or Morneau sits against lefties, with Cuddyer filling in at first. Stubbs owns a career .274/.349/.448 line against southpaws, with an OPS 144 points higher than his career line against righties.Lyles will have to compete for a spot at the back of the rotation, which will see its share of change around the core of Jorge De La Rosa, Jhoulys Chacin and Tyler Chatwood. Most notable is the acquisition of groundballing lefty Brett Anderson, a former top prospect with a career 3.81 ERA (109 ERA+) but a thick medical file. The lefthander, who turns 26 on Feb. 1, has been limited to 163 major league innings over the past three seasons, including just 44 2/3 in 2013 due to an ankle sprain and a stress fracture, both in his right foot. If he's healthy -- a big if -- that will leave the fifth spot up for grabs between Lyles, holdovers Juan Nicasio (5.14 ERA in 157 2/3 innings) and Christian Friedrich (who didn't throw a major league inning in 2013 due to back woes) and prodigal son Franklin Morales, a former top prospect whom the team traded to Boston in mid-2011 and reacquired in December in exchange for infielder Jonathan Herrera. Back and pectoral injuries limited Morales to just 20 appearances, one start and 25 1/3 innings at the MLB level in 2013. However things shake out, the team can't help but improve upon the 6.73 ERA delivered by six since-departed hurlers who accounted for 42 starts in 2013, most notably Jeff Francis, Roy Oswalt and Drew Pomeranz.Morales may well wind up back in the bullpen, which has been beefed up even beyond the retention of Matt Belisle via a $4.25 million mutual option. Forty-one-year-old LaTroy Hawkins, who saved 13 games for the Mets while posting a 2.93 ERA and 5.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio, has been brought in via a one-year, $2.5 million deal either to supplant Rex Brothers as closer or to compete with him for the job. Boone Logan, who posted a 3.23 ERA and whiffed 11.5 per nine for the Yankees in 2013, was signed to a three-year, $16.5 million deal, the team's largest expenditure of the winter; how often can that be said about a situational reliever?Unfinished business: CatcherHeading into the offseason, Colorado appeared to prefer signing a catcher and converting starter Wilin Rosario to a backup who would see more time at first base or rightfield, thus serving two purposes: getting his powerful bat (.292/.315/.486 with 21 homers in 121 games) into the lineup more often and escaping his defensive woes, which include some of the game's worst pitch-framing work. The Rockies made a run at Carlos Ruiz, but he stayed with Philadelphia, and they passed on other available free agent catchers, so unless they make a trade, it appears they'll head into the season with Rosario starting and Jordan Pacheco backing him up.Preliminary Grade: C+ Colorado hasn't made any earth-shaking moves, and the trade of Fowler remains a bit of a headscratcher. Even so, the team has opened its wallet at least somewhat -- spending $31.5 million on free agents this offseason compared to just $1.5 million the year before -- and made enough incremental improvements elsewhere that a more respectable showing in 2014 appears inevitable.

Brown Deer police were called to 4475 W. Dean Road around 8:16 a.m. Jan. 2 because of a noise complaint about yelling.
While officers were en route the call was changed to a rescue call for a person who had passed out. Arriving officers found a female victim who had been stabbed multiple times and soon arrested a 22 year-old male suspect, a resident of Milwaukee who knows the victim.
The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Police are investigating the circumstances of the stabbing.

The following is a list of companies whose shares may have unusual price changes in Germany. Stock symbols are in parentheses, and share prices are from the previous close.
The benchmark DAX Index gained 200.08, or 3.5 percent, to 5,997.74 on Aug. 12.
EON AG (EOAN GY): Chief Executive Officer Johannes Teyssen said the German utility is open to discussions about cooperation in areas such as the construction of new power plants, Der Spiegel reported.

Munich Re (MUV2 GY): The world's biggest reinsurer has almost halved its holdings in stocks in recent weeks because of the debt crisis, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported, citing an interview with Chief Financial Officer Joerg Schneider. The shares climbed 3.5 percent to 92.14 euros.
Siemens AG (SIE GY): Juergen Maier, U.K. chief at the Germany technology company's industrial division, said there's evidence that a slowdown in British consumer purchasing is beginning to hit manufacturing, the Observer reported. Siemens shares rose 2.5 percent to 74.10 euros.

Since the Stone Age of pornography specialty shops have been cranking out material focused solely on the foot or leg; never daring to bring hardcore into the mix (or even the lowest standard of technical competence).
Leg Action proves to be the diametric opposite ? as if it crossed over from an alternate dimension, where highly appealing performers incorporated blistering bipedal eroticism into their frantic bedroom antics.
Viewers should prepare themselves for a ton of Eurobabes getting porked (fore and aft) in addition to the fetish angle, which includes stocking tease, sensual pedicures, satisfying toe-to-dick manipulation, savory shrimping and sticky-foot finales. Highly recommended!
Retailing: Foot fetish, Europorn, anal.

Brain Lesions (Lesions on the Brain) (cont.)
Brain Lesions Complications
Although the complications of any brain lesion are numerous and often dire, they are generally related to either the progression of the brain lesion itself or to complications from treatment. Left untreated, many brain lesion types may eventually lead to the development of complications such as, for example respiratory depression, loss of muscle function, or widespread brain cell death leading to seizures and coma. Other serious complications include severe disability (for example, loss of memory or speech, loss of limb function, confusion, or combative personality changes). Dangerous behavior patterns (for example, medication errors, getting lost while driving or taking a walk, leaving stove burners on, as well as others) may occur in some patients, especially those that develop slowly progressive diseases like Alzheimer's disease.
Complications from attempts to treat various brain lesions can also be severe. A brain surgeon often has to go through normal brain tissue to reach the brain lesion, both for diagnosis and treatment. Complications may include injuring otherwise normal brain tissue, thus making the patient's symptoms worse. There is a similar risk involved with radiation therapy, as the destructive beam may damage or affect surrounding normal tissue. Chemotherapy, while designed to target specific cancer cells, may also affect some of the bodies other normal cells resulting in cell damage or cell death. Nausea, vomiting, dehydration, weakness and susceptibility to infection may also result.
Similar complications may occur when diseases characterized by a slow, progressive brain lesion are treated with multiple drugs. Patients with strokes treated with the medication tPA may develop severe, life-threatening bleeding, which may actually worsen the symptoms from the original stroke, or even cause death. Because there are inherent severe risks in treating certain brain lesions, it is imperative that patients or their surrogates are well informed about the patient's prognosis, as well as the risks and benefits of the various treatment options. Often times, difficult decisions must be made between the treatment team and the patient or their representatives.

Rise of Isengard expansion launches for LOTRO
In a bid to possess what little remains of the free time I devote to the game already, Turbine has launched its Rise of Isengard expansion for Lord of the Rings Online. As a matter of fact, after finally being able to get into the game yesterday after biting my nails to nubs for three hours, I played it until 2am this morning. Yes, the horses were met with a grumpy lady with buckets of oats when breakfast rolled around this morning. At least they don't hold grudges unlike human beings. You can check out the launch trailer for the expansion below, courtesy of GameFront. While you are over there, check out the site's preview of the content here.

Initial Journey settings included forests, cities, mountain trails
Thatgamecompany was looking at other settings for Journey before it settled on the desert, studio co-founder Jenova Chen.
"Initially we thought, what if it's forest, mountain trail, or a city? The problem is the background is so complex, it doesn't help to see the players," said Chen, speaking in a recent press Q&A covered by Shack.
"If you put two players in a desert, they pop out. Visually it gives a much stronger sense of the relationship between the characters."
It goes without saying, but don't expect a sequel anytime soon.
"The world of Journey is somewhat complete, it's designed to be a Japanese garden. We've removed everything that could be removed, so what's left is what's most important," said Chen.
Journey launches today in the US and tomorrow in Europe for PlayStation Plus subs. It'll go live for all PS3 users next week.

Dutch Police Eurocopter EC135 helicopter
Posted 01 January 2012 - 01:41 PM
As usual, I have no idea where to put this. Model Team? Creator? City? Who knows?
I built this model for an article for LEGO's Master Builder Academy Issue 4. By now it has been out for a while, so I can finally publish my pictures.
For years the Dutch Police used the classic Bo-105, but by the turn of the century those were getting a bit long in the tooth. In 2001, eight MD902 Explorers were ordered as replacements, but MD helicopters had difficulties meeting the requirements on time. With all the stipulated equipment, the helicopters were overweight and had to be recertified, which took longer than intended. The contract was cancelled in 2005 and six EC135s and two AW139s were bought instead and all delivered in 2009. They are based at Schiphol Amsterdam airport and at two other fields (Teuge and Volkel).
Dutch Police EC135 (1) by Mad physicist, on Flickr
The EC135 has been a great success for Eurocopter, with helicopters having been sold for Police and Air Ambulance roles all over the world.
Dutch Police EC135 (3) by Mad physicist, on Flickr
The first version of the helicopter had a fenestron/ fantail similar to the design I used on my HH-65 Dolphin. However, I remembered that I had a few propellers lying in my drawer of 'parts that don't fit in any meaningful other category' and I figured that it would fit. It doesn't turn very well, but looks far better.
Dutch Police EC135 (5) by Mad physicist, on Flickr
The big challenge when building this helicopter was the cockpit section, with the glass nose and doors. The EC135s have an extensive equipment fit for the law-enforcement role, with a cockpit interior that is compatible with night-vision goggles, weather radar, a PA system, cable-cutters, a dedicated workstation for an observer -including a 20 inch computer monitor, an IR turret, night-sun searchlight and a real-time video down-link facility to share images with police on the ground.

It's hardly minifig scale. In fact, it's about twice as large as I would consider appropriate for minifigs. I'm not quite sure whether LEGO Town is explicitly for minifig scale stuff though, but I'm pretty sure that the participants in the town forum are most likely to appreciate the model.

doz posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubHi all, just joined the site, I'm about to change one of our cars for a c-max. I've seen a 1.8 diesel with a load of toys but it only has a 5 speed manual gearbox which is standard. Looking at the 2.0 diesel its a 6 spd, just wondering if there's much difference on the motorway and if the 1.8 revs high when doing motorway driving. cheers

So I've been trying to hammer out this annoyance today.
Everything I submit through the
$_GET, and
$_COOKIE global variables is being escaped (back slashes added to apostrophes, quotes, etc.). The strange part about it is I've turned off
magic_quotes_gpc in my php.ini file and have made sure that my database is encoded in utf8_unicode_ci. Still, no dice.
This wouldn't be WordPress still adding the
wptexturize() to those variables, would it?
PS. Sorry for no example, this is on a local test install of WordPress.

When Bill Green last sought reelection to City Council, in 2011, he was so openly interested in Philadelphia's 2015 mayoral race that it became part of his pitch at ward meetings.
Other candidates waiting to speak took to joking about it. "Here's the part where he runs for mayor," one candidate for judge whispered to another as Green was speaking one night in Fairmount.
But his interest in that 2015 race has faded in recent months. When Pedro Ramos abruptly resigned in October as chairman of the School Reform Commission, Green began lobbying Gov. Corbett for an appointment to lead the agency.

Product Details

Product Description
Limited two CD edition. 2010 album from the veteran Rock vocalist. From opener 'Peace On Earth' to closer 'Elvis In Vegas', its tracks drag the classic Meat Loaf sound kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Much of Meat Loaf's newfound energy can be put down to his working relationship with new collaborator, producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance Paramore, Fleetwood Mac). For the singer, it was a chance to work with one of the hottest producers around. For Cavallo, it was an opportunity to work with a childhood hero and a proper Rock 'n' Roll legend. Hang Cool Teddy Bear features a stellar array of big-name guests, including Steve Vai, former Queen guitarist Brian May, American Idol presenter Kara DioGuardi, Hollywood star Jack Black and Hugh Laurie.

The album starts out with a bang. "Peace on Earth" is a hard rocking tune about a soldier fighting someone else's war. "But don't think that I would not take one hundred thousand lives to see my mother's eyes" is a very powerful line in the song and sums it up quite nicely: just a man trying to survive so he can get back home. The second track is titled "Living on the Outside". Folks, this song is just plain fun as it lightens the mood and is an excellent contrast to the opening track. "Living on the Outside" will get you slapping the dashboard and bobbing your head with the beat -- "you and me, living like the only sinners left". Meat Loaf sounds like he's having fun, and it is contagious.
The 3rd track, "Los Angeloser", presents a shift in sound, but it too provides a fun and catchy sound. Hearing this song prior to the album's release, I simply thought it was okay, but hearing it within the context of the entire album made it much more enjoyable. It fits quite nicely with the first two tracks, and, to sum up the first three tracks of the album in as few words as possible, let me just say this: 3 out of 3 ain't bad.
To avoid a song by song breakdown, let me say the reason I rate this 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 out of 5 is the middle of the album seems to bog down. A couple of the songs sound basically the same. Of all the songs on this album, there are only a couple that I don't care for (although they may grow on me over time): "Love is not Real", "Did You Ever Love Somebody" and "Let's Be in Love" -- I could have really done without those three songs. "Like a Rose" (with Jack Black")" and "Song of Madness" were decent, but by the time those songs played I had begun to lose interest. I am going to give this album another listen, excluding the 3 songs mentioned above, and I expect "Like a Rose" and "Song of Madness" will be much more enjoyable.
The album ends with "If It Rains" and "Elvis In Vegas" -- two excellent songs, and they stand in excellent contrast to the first two songs on the album.
In closing, let me say this: as a Meat Loaf fan, I am very proud of this album. Meat Loaf delivers one hell of an effort that has something for all his fans, and I expect will capture some new fans in the process. This is not an album that attempts to rehash old material or to copy old successes -- the Loaf delivered folks.
"I saw 7 horses running, I had a front row seat at the end of time."
Thank you Meat Loaf, and best of luck with this record.
Thank you Meat Loaf! Rock 'n' Roll dreams STILL come through!
Attila, Budapest, Hungary
There are the "large" songs in typical Meat Loaf fashion..and there are some good departures from the "norm" of a Meat Loaf album; every artist should try new approaches to the next album, which Meat Loaf has done very well; the album is packed with an "A-List" of contributors, in both writing and performance of the songs.
Many of the "professional" reviews I read on the internet today have been critical of Hang Cool Teddy Bear; I'm not sure Meat Loaf has ever really put out albums targeted at the mainstream audiences, so I take their reviews with a grain of salt; I've listened to this album all day, and I say "well done".
Returning are the Neverland Express and Patti Russo. Also found contributing to the album are: Jon Bon Jovi, Brian May, Steve Via, Jack Black, Hugh Laurie(from TV's House), Pearl Aday (Meat Loaf's daughter)and Kara DioGuardi (American Idol Judge).
My only wish, was that it had contained a recording of Meat Loaf's cover of Gimme Shelter..though I am enjoying the cover of Roadhouse Blues found on the Special Edition!
Pick up a copy and enjoy.
Hang Cool Teddy Bear takes you back to an album full of story and purpose. Brilliantly intertwining story, with vocal and instrumentation. You don't know what to listen to first, demanding a replay to see the layers of this album.
Vocally ~ Meat Loaf's organic sound is absolute. He uses his vocal strengths to draw you in to the story. To give an impressive vocal in each song, says a ton about the maturity and experience that Meat Loaf brings in Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Songs such as "If I Can't Have You" and "Did You Ever Love Somebody" will leave goosebumps on your arms. I challenge you to listen to these vocals and see what Meat is really giving you in these two pieces.
Story ~ The story is conceptual and without giving away my interpretation, after Los Angeloser the songs talk back to one another. You will need to purchase this album to figure out the mystery yourself. I'm not giving it away for FREE!
Instrumentation ~ John Micelli on drums absolutely stellar, love the hardness in "Song of Madness" and his patience with "Did You Ever Love Somebody" is simply exquisite which allows for the climax of that song to happen. And if guitars are your preference, Hang Cool Teddy Bear is loaded up. Highlighting: "Peace On Earth" and "Song Of Madness".
A note for the casual Meat Loaf fan: you may note previous Meat works would include bombastic operatic sound with lifelong answers to common problems. This album is not meant to replace those treasures or extend to a story from those treasures. This album is a page turner for a legendary performer.
Hang Cool Teddy Bear has a worth far more than the valued price on this very website. It's up to you to find the treasure yourself!!!! I highly recommend Hang Cool Teddy Bear for the open minded Rock and Roll appreciative fan.
Thanks for listening,

For Princess Lee Radziwill, It's the End of a Marriage
For the diminutive younger sister of Jacqueline Onassis that includes first nights, parties, couture fittings, cultural explorations, and a series of obliging male escorts; everything, that is, except her 15-year-old marriage to transplanted Polish nobleman Prince Stanislas Radziwill.
Last week, in London, the reserved prince filed for divorce from his pencil-thin, sloe-eyed princess. In fact, it was three years ago that Lee left "Stas" and their London home and moved back to the Fifth Avenue duplex she kept throughout her marriage. "I wanted to raise my children here," she says. "After all, I am an American, and I have always considered this my home."
By arrangement with Stas, son Anthony, 15, will remain in boarding school in England. Daughter Anna Christina, 14, stays with Lee in New York and Southampton. The real reasons behind the divorce remain curiously blurred. Some friends say the difference in their ages (Lee's 41, Stas 60) and interests (his are business and shooting, hers social and cultural) led to the breakup. (It is Stas' third marriage, Lee's second; her first was to publishing heir Michael Canfield.)
Others speculate that Lee's departure from Stas may be another in her feverish attempts to establish her own identity and to free herself from the long shadow cast by Jackie since childhood. After all, it was Lee, always considered by Jackie as "the prettier," who first sailed on Onassis' yacht and, in 1963, introduced Ari to Jackie. Since then Lee, with a little bit of help from her friends, has tried her hand at developing an artistic bent. Coached by Truman Capote, she tried stage (Philadelphia Story) and television (Laura)—both greeted by critics and public with polite reserve.
Recently, she has taped three segments of a proposed CBS television series—with old friend John Kenneth Galbraith, Gloria Steinem and designer Halston. Teaming up with Jackie, she has written a reminiscence of a childhood trip to Europe, called One Special Summer. On her own, she is writing a memoir of her early years for a reported advance of $250,000.
But, known for her extravagant spending, the lovely Lee would need an Onassis, or at least a Niarchos, to compete with Jackie's larger-than-life image as international first lady. Looking back on her marriage, Lee denies that any one romance was the cause of its demise. "It was stale for a long time," she said in her whispery voice. "It just took time to work out the details."

Re: Auto loan advice from an Underwrite
webhopper wrote:
As a GSM have you ever handled a NFCU loan check?
I'm using my NFCU loan check. The car was ordered Friday. I'm taking delivery overseas... does NFCU pay the dealer off of the VIN # and make/model of the car? We wont have a vehicle title til about 6 weeks after European delivery as the car will be in transit from Sweden to the US.
My dealership was worried that they would not get funded 30 days before I leave for Sweden; the program requires the car dealership to be paid at least 30 days before we fly out
I have in fact. NFCU checks are normally presented as a draft to the dealer with conditions that the dealer must meet both before cashing the check and after. Before the check cashes, there are normally restrictions on collateral type, age, and miles. If all of those are met the dealer can cash the check as long as they agree to the after sale conditions which are normally title and registration related. These normally include requirements for the dealer to present a completed title with NFCU's valid first lien within so many days (normally 30-45 days). Other conditions would be no lemon law or salvage vehicles, etc.
If the dealership takes too long to present the titkle or the car is a salvage or a buyback vehicle, the dealer must pay the loan off per their agreement when they cashed the check.
Being that your car will not have a title for an extended period of time, you would want to contact NFCU and see if this will be an issue. The dealership will more than likely not allow you to use the check if there is a timeframe that they cannot meet as they are financially liable to NFCU at that point. They will more than likely attempt to make you go with financing that they arrange through their captive. If this is the way you have to go, I would not worry, because you can always refinance with NFCU after the car arrives in the states.

InDesign CS 5.5
Upgrade, single application, suite, and academic pricing available
I begin this review with a caveat. Adobe loves the word "professional." I mean really! Their CS Suites are for professionals, and I can tell you right now, those people will leave me in the dust with their skills. But I am here to say that we ordinary people will love CS InDesign 5.5. This review is in two parts. The first will cover basic publications, PDFs, booklets, and the useful controls and workspaces that pertain to the print world. The second part will zero in on interactive publications, including the very lucrative and expanding field of ePub.
With InDesign 5.5, you too can design and publish your church newsletter. You too can design posters for your art group. You too can produce interesting interactive PDFs that can be used on the Internet. And yes, you too can publish your own ePub book as a tutorial, or for a family reunion or for pure vanity's sake. I did, and I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination.
About Jackie Richards
Jackie Richards is a self taught digital artist who uses her computer as a creative tool much the same as she uses her potter's wheel, spinning wheel or jeweler's saw. She began working with computers in the late 70's, writing her own software programs as a personal challenge. Although sometimes setting herself up for failure, she says she gains the most pleasure from attempting something she has never done before. She is a mixed media artist working in ceramics, textiles and as a silversmith. Perhaps the best description of her approach to art is construct, deconstruct, reconstruct. She loves her collections of tools of which her iMac, iBook,IPad and iPhone are an important part.

Patrick Stewart, Priyanka Chopra, Kate Hudson do dramatic re-enactments of rapper's social-media outbursts at Oscar party
Kanye West is the kind of famous that makes other famous people talk about him.
On the red carpet for the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, Tyler Oakley asked stars who stopped by to do dramatic reenactments of West's recent social media outbursts – and everyone complied.
Stars like Patrick Wilson, Emily Ratajkowski, Kate Hudson, Priyanka Chopra and even Monica Lewinsky happily played along.

21 Best and Worst Oscars Moments of 2016, From Sarah Silverman to Lady Gaga (Photos)
Getty Images
WORST: The introduction clip for the show -- you know, the one that sets the tone for the show and gets viewers into the mood -- started with a cheesy clip of all the ingredients that go into an Oscar, like heart, passion and inspiration. And just so viewers get the idea, the ingredients were then funneled into the Oscar statutes in pixie-dust form.
- Getty Images
BEST: Chris Rock's opening monologue. The host of the evening wasted no time in addressing the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, or as he dubbed this year's Oscars, "the white People's Choice Awards." Rock then took a jab at actress Jada Pinkett Smith for boycotting the event, saying that "Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited."
BEST: Skit spoofing how hard it is for black actors to land a role in white Hollywood. The clip started with Whoopi Goldberg lending her two cents to the mop scene from "Joy." Leslie Jones took on the role of the bear in "The Revenant," Tracy Morgan played a danish-eating "Danish Girl," while "The Martian's" Jeff Daniels and Kristen Wiig discussed whether or not to spend "white dollars" to save a black astronaut, played by Chris Rock.
- Getty Images
WORST: Everyone's favorite Fox News correspondent Stacey Dash made what can only be described as the most uncomfortable appearances of the night. The "Clueless" actress waved at the audience as she wished everyone a happy Black History Month. Dash raised eyebrows last month when she stated that Black History Month, BET and other institutions that celebrate racial differences should be eliminated.
BEST: If you hate the music the Oscars orchestra plays when a winner's acceptance speech runs on too long, producers of this year's event may have found a solution to the problem: A scroll at the bottom of the screen with the winners' thank-yous. Hallelujah!
- Getty Images
WORST: Cate Blanchett, one of Hollywood's most stylish actors, presented the Oscar for best costume design... makes sense. What didn't make sense was having her struggle her way through a bunch of mannequins as she did her bit, making for a less than seamless moment.
- Getty Images
BEST: Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe reminded us that banter between presenters doesn't always have to be stiff or boring. As they presented the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, Gosling bragged about how he and Crowe have "two Oscars between the two of us." But Crowe only won a single Oscar for Best Actor in 2000's "Gladiator;" Gosling himself has yet to win.
BEST: For another pre-taped skit, Rock recruited actress Angela Basset to celebrate an Academy legend who was in films like "Enemy of State" and "Shark Tale" — Jack Black. This potshot to lack of Academy diversity joins other highlights like montages starring Leslie Jones and Whoopi Goldberg.
- Getty Images
BEST: C-3PO, R2-D2 and BB-8 took the stage to give a shout out to "Star Wars" composer John Williams who received his 50th Oscar nomination for this year's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The moment was so awesome it had "Room" star Jacob Tremblay jumping out of his seat for a closer look.
BEST: Chris Rock isn't only trying to dazzle as an Oscar host -- he's going after Father of the Year. Rock demand the millionaires in the audience help his daughter's Girl Scouts of America troop sell the most cookies this year. Buyers included Kate Winslet, Sam Smith and Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell.
BEST: Kevin's Hart showed his serious side as he addressed this year's lack of diversity in Hollywood. The comedian put a positive spin on the issue as he addressed actors of color, saying, "Let's not let this issue of diversity beat us."
BEST: Chris Rock tackled the #OscarsSoWhite Controversy in a taped "man on the street" clip outside a movie theater in Compton, California. Rock then asked moviegoers whether they'd seen any of this year's Best Picture nominees. After getting mostly blank stares, Rock then asked one movie-goer whether she's seen "Straight Out of Compton," to which she replied, "Oh, hell yeah!"
BEST: Louis C.K. took a light-hearted jab at documentary filmmakers as he presented the Oscar for best documentary feature. While feature filmmakers who win an Oscar go on to make millions, documentary filmmakers "will never be rich as long as they live," adding that "this Oscar is going home in a Honda Civic."
- Getty Images
WORST: Sarah Silverman's introduction for this year's Best Song nominee "Writing's On the Wall" from "Spectre" took a bizarre turn when the comedian went on a rant about James Bond, saying the iconic British spy is "a grower not a shower." We'll file this one under "TMI."
- Getty Images
BEST: With an incredibly heavy subject matter, Lady Gaga brought home another fabulous Oscar performance with her Diane Warren co-penned "Til It Happens To You," from rape documentary "The Hunting Ground." Survivors joined the singer on stage for a triumphant statement of support, which brought tears to the eyes of audience members like Rachel McAdams.
- Getty Images
BEST: Dave Grohl gave everyone goosebumps with a touching rendition of The Beatles' classic "Blackbird" as the In Memoriam tribute played behind him. Interestingly, the song touches on race relations in America in the 1960s.
- Getty Images
WORST: In a completely unexpected upset win, Sam Smith won the Oscar for Best Original Song over Lady Gaga's "Till It Happens to You." Even worse, Diane Warren has lost for the eighth time in that category.
- Getty Images
BEST: Sacha Baron Cohen had probably one of the funniest lines of the night. Arriving in full Ali G gear Cohen described the film "Room" as "a movie about a room full of white people."
- Getty Images
WORST: On a night all about diversity, Rock trotted out three Asian children for a tone-deaf segment, joking they were accountants and were like other Asian children responsible for making iPhones in slave-like conditions.
BEST: Leonardo DiCaprio, winning his first Oscar on his fifth nomination, gave a heartfelt acceptance speech and even included a plug for his pet political issue, climate change.
- Getty Images
BEST: The closing credits were played over a soundtrack of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," which was featured in the 1989 Spike Lee film "Do the Right Thing." It was the final nod of many to the Oscars diversity issue that occurred throughout the night. It's just a shame that Lee, who boycotted this year's ceremony, wasn't there to hear it.
From Lady Gaga's emotional performance to Chris Rock's tone-deaf Asian joke, ABC's live broadcast of the 88th Academy Awards ran the gamut
WORST: The introduction clip for the show -- you know, the one that sets the tone for the show and gets viewers into the mood -- started with a cheesy clip of all the ingredients that go into an Oscar, like heart, passion and inspiration. And just so viewers get the idea, the ingredients were then funneled into the Oscar statutes in pixie-dust form.

The founder of a pro-Israel online action group says Facebook is unfairly singling him out for account deactivation.
According to Facebook's terms of services, members of the social networking site can only maintain usernames that contain accurate information, including their real names. But David Appletree of the Jewish Internet Defense Force, who will not say if that is his true surname, says he's being targeted while Facebook turns a blind eye to other users who likewise fail to comply with this rule.
"Of all the 200 million members on Facebook they're singling me out because I'm a big Jewish activist and they don't like my views," he said. Appletree maintains approximately 40 different Facebook groups that combat anti-Semitism and terrorism, with combined memberships in the hundreds of thousands.
He believes that the decision to dismantle his account on YomKippur was yet another implication of bias. And on his own Web site, he warns other Jewish organizations that they too may become targets because they violate the same name rules – Facebook users like Lubavitch-Chabad Worldwide or Chai-Lifeline
Meanwhile, he says, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg is hardly proactive about combating anti-Semitism on its Web site, which hosts groups that blatantly deny both the Holocaust and Israel's existences.
"Their rules are that you can't post hateful material, but there are all these groups that promote Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism or terrorism," Appletree said.
In an e-mail to The Jewish Week, Facebook spokesman Simon Axten wrote: "Facebook has always been based on a real name culture ... This leads togreater accountability and a safer and more trusted environment for our users. We apply these rules universally across all 300 million people who use Facebook. Any claim of anti-Semitism is thus both wrong and insulting."
