Casual or isolated sales—Business reorganizations.
A casual or isolated sale is defined by RCW
as a sale made by a person who is not engaged in the business of selling the type of property involved. Any sales which are routine and continuous must be considered to be an integral part of the business operation and are not casual or isolated sales.
Furthermore, persons who hold themselves out to the public as making sales at retail or wholesale are deemed to be engaged in the business of selling, and sales made by them of the type of property which they hold themselves out as selling, are not casual or isolated sales even though such sales are not made frequently.
In addition the sale at retail by a manufacturer or wholesaler of an article of merchandise manufactured or wholesaled by him is not a casual or isolated sale, even though he may make but one such retail sale.
Business and Occupation Tax
The business and occupation tax does not apply to casual or isolated sales.
Retail Sales Tax
The retail sales tax applies to all casual or isolated retail sales made by a person who is engaged in the business activity; that is, a person required to be registered under WAC
. Persons not engaged in any business activity, that is, persons not required to be registered under WAC
, are not required to collect the retail sales tax upon casual or isolated sales.
However, persons in business as selling agents who are authorized, engaged or employed to sell or call for bids on tangible personal property belonging to another, and so selling or calling, are deemed to be sellers, and shall collect the retail sales tax upon all retail sales made by them. The tax applies to all such sales even though the sales would have been casual or isolated sales if made directly by the owner of the property sold.
A transfer of capital assets to or by a business is deemed not taxable to the extent the transfer is accomplished through an adjustment of the beneficial interest in the business. The following examples are instances when the tax will not apply.
(1) Transfers of capital assets between a corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary, or between wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same corporation.
(2) Transfers of capital assets by an individual or by a partnership to a corporation, or by a corporation to another corporation in exchange for capital stock therein.
(3) Transfers of capital assets by a corporation to its stockholders in exchange for surrender of capital stock.
(4) Transfers of capital assets pursuant to a reorganization under 26 U.S.C Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, when capital gain or ordinary income is not realized.
(5) Transfers of capital assets to a partnership or joint venture in exchange for an interest in the partnership or joint venture; or by a partnership or joint venture to its members in exchange for a proportional reduction of the transferee's interest in the partnership or joint venture.
(6) Transfer of an interest in a partnership by one partner to another; and transfers of interests in a partnership to third parties, when one or more of the original partners continues as a partner, or owner.
The burden is upon the taxpayer to establish the facts concerning the adjustment of the beneficial interest in the business when exemption is claimed.
Use Tax
The use tax applies upon the use of any property purchased at a casual retail sale without payment of the retail sales tax, unless exempt by law. Uses which are exempt from the use tax are set out in RCW
Where there has been a transfer of the capital assets to or by a business, the use of such property is not deemed taxable to the extent the transfer was accomplished through an adjustment of the beneficial interest in the business, provided, the transferor previously paid sales or use tax on the property transferred. (See the exempt situations listed under the retail sales tax subdivision of this rule.)

Alumni Association
A message from the Alumni Association.
Fellow Eagles,
Some things are forever – like being part of Eagle Nation.
Serving our common bonds since 1933, the Georgia Southern Alumni Association fosters
relationships with alumni and friends through programs that promote the growth, progress and
welfare of Georgia Southern.
In representing University alumni, we believe:
• All graduates should have access to the benefits of the Alumni Association
• Alumni should remain engaged with the University
• We are all members of the Eagle Nation family
• Loyalty to our University is fulfilling
• Involvement can lead to greater support of the University
Because we believe these things, the Georgia Southern University Alumni Association is
discontinuing its membership dues program. We are welcoming all 75,000 alumni as full
members - a lifelong investment in Georgia Southern that centers on engagement and gives all
alumni equal access to the Association's programs and services.
In a dues-paying Association, alumni are sometimes confused by the difference between "dues"
and "gifts" and what each supports. Our non-dues membership ends the perception that the
Alumni Association exists only for paying members and it allows us to reach more graduates
with a consistent message of support for Georgia Southern.
One thing that isn't changing is your role as a loyal alumnus/alumna. Although we won't be
asking you for membership dues, we will continue to rely on your support – attending events,
volunteering for alumni programs and making a gift to the University.
No matter where you are in the U.S. or around the world, chances are there is a loyal
group of alumni just around the corner. The Alumni Association will help you find them, join in
activities, and share the satisfaction of celebrating and supporting what Georgia Southern has
meant to you.
Remember: "This is Georgia Southern University, and we are the Eagle Nation."

Tax Credit for New Home Purchase
In addition to the updated items identified on this page, we have updated Form 3528-A and the instructions for line 6 and Part III. If you have already faxed a completed application, you DO NOT need to resubmit a new application.
We will update this information frequently. Please check this page often.
This tax credit is available for qualified buyers who on or after March 1, 2009, and before March 1, 2010, purchase a qualified principal residence that has never been occupied. The buyer must reside in the new home for a minimum of two years immediately following the purchase date.
We will accept applications for allocation of credit by fax only (916.845.9754), starting March 1, 2009; however, we will not send notifications of credit allocation until we have developed procedures. Once we begin processing allocation applications, credits will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We will update this page as soon as we begin mailing credit allocation letters. We plan to begin mailing credit allocation letters no later than May 1, 2009. This delay is necessary to allow us time to develop a system to capture and verify the application information, allocate the credits, and send the credit allocation letters. Please be patient with us and do not send applications more than one time.
Tax credit amounts
California allocated $100,000,000 for this tax credit. Buyers must apply for credit allocation from us. Applications will be reviewed and credit allocations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. Once $100,000,000 has been allocated, the tax credit will no longer be available. Please check this page for updates on the allocated and remaining credits available.
Total credit allocated: $0
Remaining credit available: $100,000,000
Note: The remaining credit amount displayed above only reflects allocations processed. This amount will be updated once we begin mailing credit allocation letters, which is expected to commence by May 1, 2009. This amount does not include applications that have been received, but not yet processed.
Applications for New Home Credit received, but not yet processed through 4/15/09
As of Total Applications received: Total Credit claimed:
3/4/09 173 $ 1,715,826
3/11/09 711 $ 6,987,515
3/18/09 1,188 $ 11,599,825
3/25/09 1,710 $ 16,647,498
4/1/09 2,624 $ 25,578,709
4/8/09 3,135 $ 30,559,124
4/15/09 3,589 $ 34,939,035
This reflects the total amount of credit reported on applications received as of the date indicated. This amount has not yet been verified and may include duplicate, incomplete, and invalid applications. This amount is provided for informational purposes and does not reflect the actual amount to be allocated. We will update the amount received, but not yet processed, on this webpage each Friday. As we approach the $100,000,000 limitation, we will update the reported amounts on a daily basis. Keep in mind, that all applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the date received by fax only.
California allows qualified new home buyers a total tax credit amount equal to either five percent of the purchase price or $10,000, whichever is less. Taxpayers must apply the total tax credit in equal amounts over three successive taxable years (maximum of $3,333 per year) beginning with the taxable year (2009 or 2010) in which the new home is purchased.
How to apply
Within one week (seven calendar days) after the close of escrow:
The seller must complete Part I of Form 3528-A, Application for New Home Credit, certifying that the home has never been occupied, and provide a copy to the buyer or escrow person.
The buyer will complete Parts II & III of Form 3528-A.
The escrow person on behalf of the seller and buyer will fax the completed Form 3528-A to FTB at 916.845.9754, and provide a copy to the buyer.
Fax is the only delivery method that will be accepted and considered for credit allocation by FTB, as the date and time stamp on the fax will determine the order in which credits are allocated.
Fax only one completed application per residence with all qualified buyers listed. Do not include information on nonqualified buyers. An incomplete application may delay or prevent credit allocation.
Do not fax the application to FTB before escrow closes.
Do not fax the application to FTB more than once. We will process the applications in the order received as quickly as possible.
Escrow companies should only send one application per fax transmission.
The buyer keeps a copy of the completed Form 3528-A for their records.
The Form 3528-A is now available online as a fillable form. Simply fill in all required information, print the form, and sign. If you fill out the form by hand, please print numbers as clearly and neatly as possible using CAPITAL LETTERS and staying between the lines. The faxes can be very hard to read.
Application processing
The buyer will receive notification of credit allocation from us.
An allocation of credit will not be issued if:
The home has been previously occupied.
The application is not received within one week after the close of escrow.
The application is received after the total credits available ($100,000,000) have been allocated.
Requirements of the credit
The home must be a "qualified principal residence" as defined under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 17059(b)(1). The home must:
Be a single-family residence, whether detached or attached.
Never have been previously occupied.
Be occupied by the taxpayer for a minimum of two years.
Be eligible for the property tax homeowner's exemption under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 218.
For over three successive taxable years, the total credit allocated among owners that occupy the home must not exceed $10,000. (Multiple qualified buyers that occupy the home will be allocated credit based on the amount paid and their percentage of ownership.)
Any credit that reduced tax on a tax return must be repaid if the buyer does not occupy the home for at least two years immediately following the purchase date.
FTB may request documentation to ensure buyers have complied with the requirements of the credit.
Claiming the credit
The buyer must receive an allocation of credit from us to claim the credit. The credit allocation letter will state the amount they can claim listed by tax year.
The buyer should refer to Publication 3528 (available by 12/2009) for instructions on claiming the credit.
The buyer must claim the credit on an original timely filed return, including returns filed on an extension.
Special rules apply to married/RDP (Registered Domestic Partners) taxpayers filing separately, in which case each spouse is entitled to one-half of the credit, even if their ownership percentages are not equal. For two or more taxpayers who are not married/RDP, the credit amount will have already been allocated to each taxpayer occupying the residence on their respective credit allocation letter.
If the available credit exceeds the current year net tax, the unused credit may not be carried over to the following year.
The credit is not refundable.
Purchase date:
The date escrow closes.
Qualified buyer:
A taxpayer who purchases a single-family residence, whether detached or attached, that has never been occupied, that is purchased to be the principal residence of the taxpayer for a minimum of two years, and that is eligible for the homeowner's exemption under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 218.
Qualified Principal Residence/New Home:
A qualified principal residence means a single-family residence, whether detached or attached, that has never been occupied and is purchased to be the principal residence of the taxpayer for a minimum of two years and is eligible for the property tax homeowner's exemption.
Types of residence: Any of the following can qualify if it is your principal residence and is subject to property tax, whether real or personal property: a single family residence, a condominium, a unit in a cooperative project, a houseboat, a manufactured home, or a mobile home.
Owner-built property: A home constructed by an owner -taxpayer is not eligible for the New Home Credit because the home has not been "purchased."

I try to make kindness, openness, rationality, and altruism central to who I am. A friend said about me: "Brian is honestly the sweetest person I've ever met. He has a genuine love for everyone, regardless of their flaws. His friendliness and sense of humor put people at ease, and he'll listen to anything without judgment."
I graduated from Swarthmore College in 2009 with a major in computer science and a minor in statistics. I enjoy geeky academic subjects of all sorts: neuroscience, physics, mathematics, psychology, economics, philosophy.
My life goal is to reduce suffering in the most cost-effective ways possible, a theme evident in the following links:

Swing a miss or hit for six: Sky to broadcast cricket in 3D
Sky has announced a move away from football-only 3D sports coverage, introducing plans to broadcast One Day International cricket in all its three dimensional glory.
First on Sky's 3D cricketing endeavour is England's opening NatWest One Day International match against Bangladesh on July 8th. To date, Sky's only forays into 3D sports broadcasting have revolved entirely around football.

Executive Cricket Producer for Sky Sports, Paul King, talking on the first cricket international to be broadcast in the extra dimension said: "This is a revolution in cricket broadcasting creating a view of the action never seen before. I'm sure our viewers will be stunned by the results."
His excitement for the event was echoed by England pace bowler James Anderson: "I've seen Sky 3D and it's a phenomenal viewing experience. I can't wait to see what I and the rest of the lads look like in 3D on 8 July."
The England vs. Bangladesh 3D encounter will be shown in a number of UK pubs on July 8th. To find out where your closest 3D touting boozer is, check the Sky 3D pub guide here.

More LEGO Minecraft To Come???
Hungarian site, KockaMania must have someone on the inside feeding them information, as yet again they have news about 2 possible new Minecraft sets. While it is only on their say they have been pretty much spot on with other news they have posted. The two sets have the set codes 21105 and 21106.
We know the first Minecraft set has the number 21102 and it has been a massive success, the original run of 10,000 soon sold out as fans wanted a set. We also know 21103 will be the Back to the Future and according to team BTTF the release date for that set will now be the 1st of August, again this is not official news but gives you an idea of when to expect the much anticipated set.
This then also means if 21103 is BTTF and 21105 and 21106 are possible extra Minecraft sets, what will LEGO issue for set number 21104. I think it is safe to assume the next Cuusoo model after BTTF, which could possibly be UCS Sandcrawler, Thinking with Portals or Mars Curiosity Rover. While on the subject of Cuusoo they have done a decent image (see below) to show you which projects are in which review so we know roughly which order we will find out about them.
I reckon we will hear about the results of the next result around the same time as the official announcement of the Back to the Future set. Out of the next 3 in review I reckon the Mars Rover has the best chance, although a UCS Sandcrawler would be awesome.
Once Cuusoo put some of these rumors to bed or confirm we will get it up on Brick Fanatics ASAP.

Halls Chophouse
Hall's Chophouse has been one of our downtown Charleston faves ever since it opened. We've been many times for dinner and have never, ever been disappointed. With my Mom in town for the July 4 weekend, we figured a trip to Hall's was in order. We'd been wanting to try out their Sunday gospel brunch, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Reservation made!
Mom, Richard, and I arrived right on time for our 11:30am reservation and were warmly greeted by several members of the Hall family (as always!). We were promptly seated in a comfortable upstairs booth. Our server arrived quickly and was just fantastic throughout the meal. Richard loves good chat with our server, and this guy was just the best with chat and everything else (oh, I wish I'd gotten his name!). We ordered drinks and then pounced on the basket of lovely (and delicious!) popovers brought to our table. I was not a big fan of popovers until this meal, but I've been converted. These were some wonderfully puffy and tasty popovers!
What's nice about Hall's brunch is that all the regular steaks are available, in addition to a special brunch menu. Richard had been salivating all week for the 45-day dry-aged ribeye that he orders at dinnertime at Hall's, and that big steak was his brunch choice. Richard was also thrilled that Hall's has their parmesan truffle french fries available on the brunch menu. So – steak and fries for him! When his meal arrived, he was very pleased, as usual (and the fries disappered quickly, as usual!). I was astonished to see that Richard ate every bite of his steak – that is some steak, apparently! Mom adores salmon, so she ordered the blackened steak salad. She loved her salad and was very complimentary of the salmon. I was still full from a big ol' dinner the night before, so I went light (for my pre-dessert meal, anyway) by having the Hall's chop salad. This salad was awesome (and I rarely use the word awesome, but it was quite applicable here). The chop salad was a beautiful mound of peppers, cucumbers, black-eyed peas, bacon, feta cheese, and a green peppercorn-buttermilk dressing. I ordered only the half portion (a real deal at $8), and with my huge popover I was quite satisfied (until the dessert menu arrived, anyway. That got me hungry again).
So – what was on that dessert menu? Oh oh oh! So many good things! While I was tempted by the red velvet cake (always a favorite of mine), our truly excellent server highly recommended the bread pudding. I've loved bread pudding ever since my south Louisiana days (Go LSU Tigers!), so I was easily swayed. And I was not disappointed! This wondrous dessert (made from brioche, if memory serves me correctly) was filled with cinnamon and raisins and topped with an excellent praline sauce. And for a bit of relief from all that hot sweet bread pudding, there was a nice little scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (and yes, I needed that relief!). Mmmmmmmmmm – this was one oh-so-good dessert! But wait – we're not done with dessert yet. Mom ordered the 14-layer chocolate cake (actually, it was 14 layers of yellow cake topped with a fluffy chocolate frosting. Nothin' wrong with that!!!). It looked incredible (and tasted incredible, per Mom) – I was too busy shoveling down my bread pudding to try it. Richard was very happy with his ice cream, sorbet, and homemade cookies combo (with enough yummy cookies for him to have a cookie doggie bag for home).
We were so pleased by our Sunday brunch at Hall's. Just like our experiences at dinner, the service and food were just out-of-this-world. And just like at dinner, the Hall family was gracious in greeting us, inquiring about our experience during the meal, and thanking us for coming as we left the restaurant. I like owners who truly care that their guests feel welcomed and enjoy their dining experience. Thank you once again, Hall's, for a fantastic experience from beginning to end!


text: Tucked away in the Laurentians, the world's oldest mountain chain, is a secret place, a rare and magical sanctuary called Birchwild. It is the most exquisite setting. An incredible domain of 512 acres featuring a spring fed mountain head lake with a surface area of 11 acres, offering complete privacy. Also see MLS 8725690 & visit: www.BIRCHWILD.com A charming house and guest cabins sit discreetly on the shores of Murray Lake, a head lake, which is deep and spring-sourced with deliciously soft water. In a grand-fathered position that would be unattainable today, right on the shore of Murray Lake, sits a cedar-shingled house that can be used as a four-season home, or as a potential guest house for a larger, state-of-the-art residential complex. Architect-designed in the early 1960s to make the most of lake views, this well-insulated, oil-heated, three-bedroom home has two full and two half bathrooms, large kitchen, dining room, spacious living room, two fireplaces, play room, and a screened porch. The garden and grounds have perennial beds, specimen trees, swimming docks and boat launches. Close by is an appealingly rustic four-season home that sleeps six, has hot water, electricity, and a wood stove. Further along the lake path is a cabin that sleeps three with a small kitchen, a bathroom, electricity and heating. There is also a tiny secluded lakeside sleeping-cabin. In addition, there is a small three-bedroom home known as the gatehouse on the highway at the foot of the estate driveway. The whole Murray Lake property has enjoyed continued use by family members over the years and all of these structures are available for immediate occupancy. There are few such remote estates so conveniently close to a major cosmopolitan city. From Montreal International Airport, it is just 50 minutes by car. The crowning glory of this entire estate is the water--two extraordinary private lakes, more than a mile of river, and sparkling waterfalls. The other part of this domain is 355 acres which features lac Castor. The lake has a surface area of about 40 acres which can easily accommodate a sea-plane. See MLS number 8725690 for details.

A little while ago, Ivory told you about the multi-tasking wonder of NYX Wonder Pencil. She bought the light and medium colors and handed them both over to me to try. Guess what? She's not getting the medium pencil back. This little product really lives up to its name. It's a wonder why I didn't have this before. It's perfect for keeping in your bag for any touch-ups on the run. Need to cover a blemish? Done. Looking a little tired after lunchtime? Dab a little on the inner corners of your eyes to instantly brighten. Red eyes? Add this to the lower waterline to make them look less red. Lipstick wear off? Layer this underneath for staying power, dab onto your cupid's bow for a plumping effect or use it as a reverse lipliner (just outside of the lipline) for a polished look. For an instant eye lift, use it on your brow bone as a highlight. Anywhere you need a little light, this is your friend. By the way, it's $4.50. The medium shade is perfect for Olives, while Ivory prefers the light.
Run, don't walk to Ulta to get it.

A top Finnish chef and a judge in Master Chef programme, Tomi Björck, is expanding his restaurant operations to Sweden. Björck and his business partner Matti Wikberg own in Helsinki a top-class Asian restaurant Farang.
In an interview with Taloussanomat Björck reveals that he is opening a new Farang restaurant in Stockholm together with Wikberg and Kim Öhman. The restaurant is due to be opened in February 2013, and it can seat around 160 customers. The new enterprise will employ around 50 people.
The trio also considers opening up restaurants in other Nordic countries as well as in Britain.
— We are passionate what we are doing, and keen to show the world what we are capable of, Björck comments to Taloussanomat.
Farang opened in Helsinki in August 2009 after five years of planning and numerous trips to Southeast Asia. Prior to that Björck and Wikberg worked together at the Michelin-starred Chez Dominique in Helsinki. In past ten years Björck has also cooked in top-class restaurants in London and Sydney where he spent two years working as a chef at Longrain which is considered to be one of the best modern Asian restaurants in the world.

Please forgive us if this post is only moderately coherent. Last night, the iHeartRadio Music Festival came to a close by showcasing some of the best artists ever to enter the game. And one of the most jaw-dropping performances came from a guy — a legend, really — who wasn't even in the lineup.
When Mary J. Blige announced she was going to perform a cover, the audience went into a frenzy when it realized the song in question was "Sweet Thing," Blige's cover of the Chaka Khan classic. But heads nearly exploded when Blige turned to stage right and introduced her friend Prince. Immediately, every person in the MGM Grand Garden Arena gasped and then screamed. The sound was deafening, the excitement palpable.

Travel Guide Africa Guinea
© All Rights Reserved Bevl78
Guinea is the world's second poorest country, has tourist facilities to prove it, but is a friendly destination for budget travellers looking for a West African holiday. When France offered its West African territories the option of independence or autonomy as part of a Franco-African community of nations, Guinea embarked down the road less travelled and took its independence. Alienation from France broke the country, suspending it in a downhill journey through socialism, gross human rights offences and terrible poverty. Democracy's been around for about a decade, but prospects remain dim.
Fouta Djalon is Guinea's nicest area, with rolling hills and tall peaks making for some fine Kodak moments. There's a couple of excellent beaches, though you'll probably have to make your own way there (on the plus side, that means they won't be too busy either). West Africa's largest market operates here - the market has the further distinction of being home to Guinea's only public toilet.
The slave trade came to the coastal region of Guinea with European adventurers in the 16th century. Slavery had always been part of everyday life but the scale increased as slaves were exported to work elsewhere in the triangular trade. Guinea's colonial period began with French military penetration into the area in the mid-19th century. French domination was assured by the defeat in 1898 of the armies of Samory Touré, Mansa (or Emperor) of the Ouassoulou state and leader of Malinké descent, which gave France control of what today is Guinea and adjacent areas.
France negotiated Guinea's present boundaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the British for Sierra Leone, the Portuguese for their Guinea colony (now Guinea Bissau), and Liberia. Under the French, the country formed the Territory of Guinea within French West Africa, administered by a governor general resident in Dakar. Lieutenant governors administered the individual colonies, including Guinea.
In 1958 the French Fourth Republic collapsed due to political instability and its failures in dealing with its colonies, especially Indochina and Algeria. The founding of a Fifth Republic was supported by the French people, while France's colonies were given the choice between more autonomy in a new French Community and immediate independence. The other colonies chose the former but Guinea — under the leadership of Ahmed Sékou Touré whose Democratic Party of Guinea (PDG) had won 56 of 60 seats in 1957 territorial elections — voted overwhelmingly for independence. The French withdrew quickly, and on October 2, 1958, Guinea proclaimed itself a sovereign and independent republic, with Sékou Touré as president.
In 1970, rebel forces from neighbouring Portuguese Guinea, supported by the Portuguese, invaded Guinea. The Portuguese wanted to get rid of Sekou Toure because he supported the guerrilla movement PAIGC in Portuguese Guinea. Sékou Touré died on March 26, 1984 after a heart operation in the United States, and was replaced in an interim role by Prime Minister Louis Lansana Beavogui. A military junta headed by Lansana Conté and Diarra Traoré seized power on April 3, 1984 in a bloodless coup, ending Beavogui's brief rule. Conté assumed the role of president with Traoré as his prime minister.
By despotic means, Conté clung to power until his death in 2008. On 23 December 2008, Moussa Dadis Camara seized control of Guinea as the head of a junta. On 3 December 2009, an aide shot Camara during a dispute about the rampage of September 2009. Camara went to Morocco for medical care. On 21 January 2010 the military junta appointed Jean-Marie Doré as Prime Minister of a six-month transition government, leading up to elections.
At 245,857 km2, Guinea is roughly the size of the United Kingdom and slightly smaller than the US state of Oregon. There are 320 kilometres of coastline and a total land border of 3,400 kilometres. Its neighbours are Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Senegal and Sierra Leone. It lies mostly between latitudes 7° and 13°N, and longitudes 7° and 15°W (a small area is west of 15°). The country is divided into four main regions: the Basse-Coté lowlands, populated mainly by the Susu ethnic group; the cooler, mountainous Fouta Djallon that run roughly north-south through the middle of the country, populated by Fulas, the Sahelian Haute-Guinea to the northeast, populated by Malinké, and the forested jungle regions in the southeast, with several ethnic groups. Guinea's mountains are the source for the Niger, the Gambia, and Senegal Rivers, as well as the numerous rivers flowing to the sea on the west side of the range in Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire. The highest point in Guinea is Mount Nimba at 1,752 metres. Although the Guinean and Ivorian sides of the Nimba Massif are a UNESCO Strict Nature Reserve, the portion of the so-called Guinean Backbone continues into Liberia, where it has been mined for decades; the damage is quite evident in the Nzérékoré Region.
Guinea consists of 7 administrative regions.
The Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the border of Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire. The park has a wide range of animal life and plant life that are protected in the area that include Chimpanzees, several big cats, duikers and many types of viviparous toads. The reserve is labeled Strict meaning that no tourism is allowed. It is possible to see the reserve from a distance.
The National Park of Upper Niger is a large park covering around 6000 square km in the north eastern area of the country. The park provides protection for forest and savannah areas. The Mafou Forest is a dry forest, which the park covers and is an interesting area. 600 square km is considered the core area and is completely protected, while the rest of the park locals can collect natural resources from, although in a sustainable way. This is one of the few dry forests left in West Africa. It is possible to spot Giant Pangolins, Chimpanzees, Gambian Mongooses, Kob and Spot-necked Otters. Lions have also been recently scene in the park.
The Iles de Los are a group of islands off the coast of the capital of Conakry. These islands offer great places to explore and relax. There are several beaches to spend time on along the coast and forested interiors to explore by foot. Apparently these islands were the inspiration for the novel Treasure Island.
Guinea has a tropical climate with hot and humid weather year round, but there are some differences between the wetter coastal area and more dy border areas with Mali. From October to March, the weather is generally dry with many fine, hot, sunny days. From April to September is the rainy season. The rainfall increases to a peak in July and August and then decreases until rain has almost ceased by November. In the north of Guinea the rainy season is a little shorter, mainly from June to September, and there is less than 2000 mm of rain annually. Along the coast, however, total annual rainfall is usually between 3500 mm and 4000 mm. July is extremely wet in Conakry for example with around 1300 mm of rain during this month! Temperatures usually average around or slightly above 30 degrees Celsius during the day, and well above 20 degrees Celsius at night, with little variation. Border areas of Guinea with Mali are warmer, especially from March to May when temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius are possible.
The higher temperatures inland are to some extend a bit more bearable by the lower humidity. The harmattan, a persistent northeast wind, which blows during the dry season, is often dust-laden, which is extremely annoying as well.
Conakry International Airport (CKY) near the capital of Guinea, Conakry receives all departing and arriving international flights. Destinations include those to and from Bamako (Slok Air, Air Ivoire, Benin Golf Air), Dakar (Benin Golf Air, Slok Air, Afrinat International Airlines), Freetown, Paris (Air France), Brussels, Abidjan and Lagos, among a few others.
You can travel along most of the border crossings mentioned below and at least a dozen more if you have your own transport (traffic is scarce at some roads). A 4wd car is recommended for many of that latter roads. Be sure to have your papers and documentation (insurance etc.) in order and expect some hassling: this is Africa!
There is transport to and from Cote d'Ivoire, but safety situations in that country remain unstable at the moment. The main route is between Lola and Man either via Gbakoré and Danané or via Sipilou and Biankouma but there are other routes with less trafic though. If coming from Kankan, it's better via Bamako as roads directly to Cote d'Ivoire are bad.
To Guinea Bissau, public transport goes to Bissau via Labe and Gabu, but transport is infrequent and roads between the two countries are in a very bad condition still.
To Liberia, the main route is south from N'zérékoré and shared taxis go frequently to the border town of Diéké. From here you can get a motorcycle taxi or walk the remaining 2 kilometers to Ganta to get a taxi to Monrovia. It takes most of the day to get there. There are more routes but with bad roads and little traffic and thus reliable transport.
To Mali, the best route to Bamako goes from Kankan via Siguiri and the border at Kourémalé along very good roads most of the journey. From Conakry it's also possible but it takes 24 hours, better to break it up in stages.
To Senegal, there are several shared taxis a day for Diaoubé from Conakry but it takes up to two days!
Finally, to Sierra Leone there is transport betweeen Conakry and Freetown which is quite easy actually and roads are generally ok. It takes around 7 hours by shared taxi. A bus also goes to Freetown and you can break up the trip in stages if you like though it's not too long. All other routes are not recommended because of bad roads, little traffic and sometimes a lot of hassling at the borders.
Boats travel between Kamsar and Bissau in Guinee Bissau. The boat stops in Cacine and Kamkhonde in Guinea Bissau as well. There is no set schedule so check in the port of Conakry.
There are also boats between Conakry and Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.
During the rainy season there are also boats along the river between Siguiri and Bamako, the capital of Mali. It takes a day in that directions, but two days coming from Bamako upstream.
Guinee Airlines is supposed to operate domestic services to between the capital Conakry and cities like Boké, Conakry, Labé, Kankan, Kissidougou, Koundarg and Siguiri. Schedules are erratic though and many airlines come and go.
Although there are in fact railtracks and even plans to upgrade them, there are currently no rail services in Guinea.
The roads between Conakry and Kissidougou and from Boké to Kamsar are both paved and in a reasonable condition. Some others are paved but in bad shape and many roads are unpaved and impassable after heavy rains. Few people rent cars but there are several companies offering cars in Conakry. They can be accompanied with a driver, which is recommended. Traffic drives on the right and you will need an international driving permit.
Large coach buses operate between a few main cities, but buses are slow and break down often. Still, they are relatively comfortable and not overcrowded. They are cheaper than the smaller minibuses, which in turn are cheaper again than bush-taxis. Still, minibuses and bush-taxis can be overcrowded and only the bush-taxis compensate this with faster services, minibuses are almost as slow as regular buses. To add, there are also post buses between Conakry and Dabola, Kankan, Faranah and Kissidougou. They are the most comfortable option but require you to book seats well in advance.
Few services exist, but you might be able to travel along the coast with locals or check the local port authorities if services do exist at all.
Almost every national needs a visa before arrival in Guinea. Single-entry visas are around $65 and are valid for one month. Multiple-entry visas are twice the amount and are the only ones available for US citizens! For more information check the Guinea Visa website.

Proof that you had a yellow fever vaccination is only required upon entering Guinea when you have been to an infected country within 7 days of entering the country. Still, it is recommended that you take the yellow fever vaccination anyway. Also you have to have a cholera stamp (proof of the fact you don't have the disease) when entering Guinea overland.
It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Guinea. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also both hepatitis A as well as typhoid would be recommended.
If you are staying longer than 3 months or have a particular risk (travelling by bike, handling of animals, visits to caves) you might consider a rabies vaccination. Vaccination against Tuberculosis as well as hepatitis B are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months. When staying longer than 6 months, vaccination against meningitis might be recommended, depending on your contact with other people and time of year.
Like most African countries south of the Sahara, Malaria is prevalent in the country. Don't underestimate this tropical disease and take precautions. Buy repellent (preferably with 50% DEET), and sleep under a net. Dengue is present as well, especially in urban areas, but there is no vaccination.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.

Since September 2009, the safety situation has been getting worse after demonstrations in the capital Conakry. Hundreds of people were killed by the military. These demonstrations were the result of the fact that the leader of the military, Moussa Dadis Camara, anounced to join the presidential elections, despite the fact that he declared not to. Although things have become considerably more quite since then, the situation still is tensed, especially in Conakry. The risk of sudden outbreaks of violence, also against westerners, is relatively high.

22 Progressive Groups That Are More Evil Than The Koch Brothers If Money In Politics Is 'Evil' – Kyle Becker
Below is a list from Open Secrets of the campaign contributions of various groups. Try to find the infamous "Koch Brothers":
If you noticed there are no less than 22 groups that donated more to the Democratic Party than the Koch Brothers donated to the Republican Party – congratulations! You have basic math, reading and comprehension skills.
For extra credit, take note that DNC "Uber Donors" gave $485,652,385 more to the Democrat Party for their progressive causes than all RNC "Uber donors" combined.
After the Supreme Court struck down an elections law on campaign funding caps, progressives took to the media to vent their supposed frustrations.
"Now we know corporations are people and money is people too," CNN anchor Caroline Costello lamented (apparently not noticing that "CNN is people" and it has freedom of the press rights). One wonders if Democrats also object as vehemently to the notion that "progressive groups are people" or "colleges are people" or "unions are people."
According to Open Secrets, in 2012, "Obama's campaign spent about $737.9 million, compared to the combined Republican total of $624.8 million." The grand total for all elections tilted Republicans' way, but by the margins of 9% and 10% in the House and Senate, respectively. While PACs leaned GOP, the Democrats dominated the 527s. The point is that the media's outrage at spending in politics is entirely selective.

Reid Attacks Koch For Offenses Committed By Reid Donors – Washington Free Beacon
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) on Wednesday criticized a Koch Industries subsidiary for allegedly circumventing sanctions on Iran even though Reid has accepted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from companies that have done exactly that.
Reid also claimed that the Kochs support the recently introduced House Republican budget proposal. Neither the company nor its owners has taken a position on the legislation.
Reid's claims were part of an ongoing offensive against libertarian philanthropists Charles and David Koch. Reid has accused them of being "un-American" for donating to groups that oppose the Democratic Party's agenda.
A page on Reid's Senate website is devoted entirely to attacking the Kochs. It initially cited former White House economist Austan Goolsbee, who falsely claimed in 2010 that Koch Industries does not pay any corporate taxes.
That claim remains on the website, with its text crossed out. Below is an "update" that claims the Kochs "have supported the Ryan budget, which provides tax cuts for the wealthy and protects taxpayer subsidies for big businesses and oil companies."
The page links to a website from a left-wing nonprofit on the budget introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) this week, on which the Kochs have not taken a position.
Reid's website goes on to quote from a heavily criticized Bloomberg article that accused Koch Industries of "sidestep[ping]" economic sanctions against Iran.
"The Kochs made improper payments to win contracts in Africa, India and the Middle East," Reid claims. "And they sold millions of dollars of equipment to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism."
After evidence of the said improper payments came to light, Koch Industries commissioned an internal investigation and fired the responsible employees, according to Bloomberg.
Reid has accepted campaign contributions from companies that engage in even more widespread corruption abroad.
According to the Washington Examiner, Reid has accepted more than half a million dollars in contributions since 2009 from employees and political action committees of companies under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Reid has also taken tens of thousands of dollars from companies that, like Koch, have done business in Iran through foreign subsidiaries, including General Electric ($25,500 in PAC contributions), Hewlett-Packard ($14,500 in PAC contributions), and Sony ($14,500 in PAC contributions).
Reid has also taken $26,000 from Boeing's PAC. The company is currently trying to reestablish its presence in Iran even though the country remains on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism.

i810_audio driver + Wine
I was sorting through the i810_audio.c audio driver source code and it states as a comment that this driver doesn't support 8 bit mode. Wine tries to initialize the card to 8-bit mode. That's why it can't find your sound card. I'm not sure if this is a hardware limitation or just the programmers decided they didn't want 8-bit mode. The SDL libraries (
) will emulate 8-bit layer if the hardware doesn't support it. I read in a mailing list for wine about an SDL back-end driver. It was experimental and I'm not sure about the progress of it. I e-mailed the guy but he hasn't responded. This is the only limitation keeping me from playing Counter Strike :-(. Which is the only Windows game I really like. I also e-mailed the ALSA-Devel list about adding 8 bit support and the MCP-2 chipset to their intel8x0 driver. Haven't gotten word back on that yet either.

A bunch of them are jumping to the conclusion that an Alabama fan had something to do with this. Where that comes from, I have no idea.
We did suggest to them that they stop using a pressure washer to remove the toilet paper...maybe this is their new method...
Twitter: @BamaAlum97
The University of Alabama: Class of 1997
Oklahoma State University: Class of 2005
There is a fine line between being a "die-hard" fan and just another critic!
Are we sure that an AU player mistook the toilet paper for a rolled...... nah AU players don't smoke weed.
What would be great is to find out it was some AU student driving by and flipped a lit cigarette out of their window.
Please stand behind our troops or feel free to stand in front of them.

Dog Soldiers return from Call to Duty III
Thursday, August 4th, 2011
The sun beat down and the engines roared as the attack boats sped towards the island in the Adriatic. The assault teams were primed and as they rounded the headland were confronted by the smoke and haze of the beach they were to assault……….This may sound like a movie but this was Guerrilla Paintballs Call to Duty III event – taking place on the island of MrCara deep in the Adriatic sea.
81 players from around the world (US, Australia, Canada, Holland, Belgium, Ireland, Croatia, UK and more) came together for the four day event. The mountain fortress on the island included helicopter landing zones, machine gun positions on the cliffs, tunnel complexes 5 stories deep, pillboxes, murder holes and submarine pens to name a few…….
The Dog Soldiers joined their CEF comrades and many more as they took part in beach landings, mountain assaults and tunnel clearance operations across the weekend. The terrain was tough, the temperatures crossed 40 degrees, the missions were arduous. The drop out rates were in excess of 70% of players from the heat and the physicality of the assaults.
The Dog Soldiers fought as part of the Spetsnaz. The weekend was punishing, however, we were always at the spear tip of the advance and the heart of the defence alongside our squad mates from the Madball Legionnares and our Belgian comrades. Despite the intensity of the event all of the team fought through with no one leaving the field and "Shorty" even managed to win one of the coveted best player awards.
It was the most ambitious paintball event in scenario history – a deserted island had infrastructure, food and water shipped in to support an event for four days in the heat of the Mediterranean summer – 81 players were shipped in and 81 players shipped out. Guerrilla hit the nail on the head and the event was simply stunning.
For those who attended, this was an epic event. For those who couldn't – you weren't there man! If you want to play survival paintball at its toughest, keep your eyes peeled for Guerrilla Paintballs Call to Duty IV event to be announced soon.
Dog Soldiers Out!

Longtime friends a winning tandem for UTSA

Tivy receiver Johnny Manziel spins out of a the way of Roosevelt's Crosby Adams in the first half Friday, August 29, 2008 at Comalander Stadium.
In many ways, the UTSA football program has been built in twos.
You have Cole Hubble and Cole Hicks, two players once known as "Cole Squared" in Bandera.
You have Brandon Reeves and Franky Anaya, two former junior college teammates from Southern California.
You even have Seth and Aaron Grubb, the mighty mite brothers from La Vernia.
Last week, two guys who aren't related, but might as well be, helped the surprising Roadrunners win their sixth game of the year.
Running back Brandon Armstrong and cornerback Crosby Adams, two longtime friends and former teammates from Roosevelt, boosted UTSA to a 31-24 victory over the McNeese State Cowboys.
Their signature plays came less than a minute apart in the fourth quarter.
First, Armstrong scorched McNeese with a 31-yard touchdown reception from Eric Soza. He caught the ball on a screen play, wide open because of a blitz, and outran the secondary to the end zone.
Next, Adams struck with an over-the-top effort, literally, when he intercepted McNeese quarterback Cody Stroud.
With the Roadrunners leading by 18, McNeese tried to get some of it back in a hurry on a deep post pass from Stroud to 6-foot-2 Wes Briscoe.
Adams, at 5-9, leaped over the top of the taller receiver and came down with it.
A few minutes later, Kristian Stern booted a field goal for a 31-10 lead.
So, it was boom and boom again.
The two kids from the Northeast Side of San Antonio struck on plays that led to 10 quick points, a crucial swing considering the Cowboys fell just short at the end after a furious rally.
Following Armstrong's touchdown, the crowd roared because it was UTSA's third in as many possessions.
But Adams knew right away that it was special in another respect because it was his friend's first as a college athlete.
"As soon as he made the catch, I said, 'He has to take this all the way,'" Adams said. "When he scored, my eyes were a little watery because I was so happy for him."
Adams' interception was so artful and so unexpected that it seemed to shock some in the crowd. Not Armstrong.
"I know his athletic ability," Armstrong said of Adams. "He can go up and get a ball against anybody at any time."
A former student at Camelot Elementary, Armstrong said he first heard of Adams through a playground rumor.
"My (youth football) coach would say, 'This little Crosby Adams (from Montgomery Elementary), he's fast ... he's scoring a lot of touchdowns, just like you,'" Armstrong said.
United on the same team at both White Middle School and Roosevelt, the two became close through hundreds of practices and games together.
They both scored on their first carry for the Roosevelt freshman team.
Both even attended the same news conference when they became part of the Roadrunners' first recruiting class in 2010.
Now, two years later, in keeping with school tradition, they're giving the opposition fits in tandem.
Just like old times.

Whoa. Dubai Airport Pulled Off a Shockingly Excellent Flashmob (Video)
Where: Dubai International Airport, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
November 10, 2011 at 6:34 PM | by JetSetCD | Comments (0)
Usually we're pretty critical when it comes to staged flash mobs, but trust us that this one is pure awesome.
It happened recently at Dubai International Airport, and the performers are meant to represent flight attendants, Dubai airport employees and passengers passing through. We're pretty sure they're all hired for the purpose, however.
Okay. No more talking. Just dancing.

As the wave of frenzy surrounding Snakes on a Plane has finally crested and now rolls its way back to the ocean of pop culture curiosities, we're left with only the aftermath of this epic Internet phenomenon. For most of us, SoaP will soon be synonymous with other odd-but-now-forgotten cinematic obsessions such as the Ernest Goes To (Blank) movies, Robocop, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. But for one man, Snakes on a Plane Mania will – quite literally – live on forever. Jim Dozier (nicknamed "Doz") was so enamored with the idea of a film about deadly reptiles loose on a commercial airliner that he had its logo prominently tattooed on his left bicep – before he'd even seen the movie! As this left us utterly baffled, we had no choice but to seek out this amazing specimen of a man and demand an explanation for what could motivate one to do such a seemingly ridiculous thing. We chatted earlier this afternoon via IM, and the transcript of that conversation can be read – nay, studied and extensively contemplated! – after the jump. If you're as impressed as we were by this man's bold commitment to unflinching SoaP awesomeness, PLEASE take a moment and vote for Doz to win the Snakes on a Plane #1 Fan Sweepstakes. We're pretty sure that he's earned it.
BWE: So I guess we'll just delve right into the pertinent questions.
Doz: Okay.
BWE: Why did you get "Snakes on a Plane" tattooed (rather prominently, I might add) on your bicep?
Doz: Because I thought it would be fun and as a way to promote a podcast that I do with my brother and some friends. Plus other people had been saying that they were going to do it and no one did. I decided to be the geek that did it!
BWE: Nice. And when did you have this glorious artwork permanently applied to your flesh?
Doz: July 22nd, 2006
BWE: So prior to the film's release and – presumably – your having seen it?
Doz: Yeah almost a month before the film was released. I saw it on August 17th at a preview showing.
BWE: And were you not concerned about the possibility of disliking the film once you finally DID see it (as implausible as it might be that one could ever dislike a film entitled "Snakes on a Plane")?
Doz: Not at all. It was either going to be cinematic genius or just a great time at the movies! Either way I was cool with it!
BWE: "Cool with it" like FOREVER "cool with it"? Cause I'd have to be pretty f'ing cool with something to have it permanently tattooed on my body.
Doz: Yeah cool with it forever. I have a piece of pop-culture history etched on my arm forever. I was the first(and probably the last ) to do so with this particular film.
BWE: After the film's somewhat disappointing take at the box office last weekend, did you find yourself wishing – maybe even just a little – that you had at least gotten a smaller tattoo?
Doz: No it doesn't matter if the movie only sold one ticket. It's been a fun experience and I can always look on my left arm and have something to laugh at.
BWE: I see your point, but what will you do if a movie comes along that surpasses even the ironic genius of "Snakes on a Plane"? I mean, we could potentially be seeing something like "Ninjas on a Pirate Ship" as soon as next year!
Doz: The right arm is free…HAHA!
BWE: I bet that tat is gonna get you so much poon.
Doz: It hasn't yet!
BWE: Dude, it totally will. Just be patient. If there's one thing chicks love, it's guys with "Snakes on a Plane" tattooed on their arm.
Doz: Yeah I'm sure that's true!
BWE: So, to your knowledge, are you the only person who has elected to have Snakes on a Plane permanently inked onto their skin?
Doz: Yes, to my knowledge I am the only one that had the balls of steel to do it!
BWE: Balls of steel is right! I don't think even Brian Bosworth is hard enough to do something as badass as that, and he's The freakin' Boz.
BWE: The Hoff would probably do it (because he can – and will – do anything), but he's really the only other person who comes to mind.
Doz: Don't forget Chuck Norris!
BWE: Yeah, I thought about Norris, too – but even Chuck doesn't seem tough enough to pull this off. You can't karate kick a Snakes on a Plane tattoo.
BWE: Dude, you're tougher than Chuck F*cking Norris! (In my opinion, at least).
Doz: LOL, Thanks man!
BWE: So tell me – were you intoxicated at the time you decided to have this tattoo permanently applied to your skin?
Doz: Nope, stone cold sober.
BWE: Do you have a drug problem?
BWE: It's courageous to ask for help, you know.
BWE: There are self-help books and support groups we could put you in touch with.
Doz: Nope, I don't do drugs.
BWE: Hmm, I guess I'll take your take your word for it, though drug abuse would better explain why you chose to do this.
BWE: Tell me, and be honest – have you not grown even a little tired of all the Snakes on a Plane frenzy? I mean, I was one of the first people blogging about it, months ago, and it was a pretty funny joke for awhile. But then the mainstream media caught on and the studio starting pimping it like a nymphomaniac prostitute, and then I just started feeling dirty for even talking about it.
BWE: Maybe that's a silly question to ask someone who had it tattooed on their arm.
Doz: Not really, it's been fun. Something like this doesn't come around all that often and you just enjoy the ride.
BWE: When you flex your muscles, do the snakes get bigger and scarier-looking?
Doz: Well of course they do!
BWE: That is nothing less than the coolest thing I've ever heard.
Doz: This is true.
BWE: So have you ever been concerned about the dangers of venomous reptiles whilst personally traveling by air?
Doz: The two times that I have traveled by air it did not concern me at all! But nowadays I might have to give it some thought!
BWE: What would you do if you were on a plane, just enjoying your peanuts and perusing the fascinating articles from the in-flight magazine, and it was suddenly brought to your attention that deadly snakes were loose on the aircraft?
BWE: Would you get those muthaf*ckin' snakes off the muthaf*ckin' plane?
Doz: Hell yeah, I would!
BWE: Or would you just hide in the lavatory like a little baby?
BWE: Cause that's probably what I'd do.
Doz: I'd get rid of those muthaf*ckin' snakes!
BWE: You know, nobody really seems to be addressing the issue of how the snakes might have felt about being on the plane to begin with. Flying can be pretty scary.
BWE: Maybe even more so for reptiles.
BWE: From what I understand, they prefer damp, cool places like the bottom of rocks – not Boeing 747's.
BWE: It's really no wonder they were freaking out.
BWE: They were just trying to defend themselves, maybe feeling airsick, and suddenly Samuel L. Jackson shows up and starts screaming the "F wordâ€, waving guns around, and trying to kill them all!
BWE: It doesn't really seem fair.
Doz: Well they could have just said they were scared. Samuel L should have asked "Parseltongue muthaf*cker – do you speak it?!"
BWE: Haha, good one! But snakes can't talk. And I'm pretty sure Parseltongue is only a language in the Harry Potter books.
BWE: People may try to give you sh*t for you tattoo, but no matter what they say, always remember one thing, Doz…
BWE: …Snakes on a Plane on your arm is way cooler than butterflies on your lower back.
Doz: Oh they have given me shit! Yes, I agree it's way better than butterflies!
BWE: Of course it is. Friendly animals tattooed on a woman's lower back is pretty much the worst thing ever. They should make a movie where Samuel L. Jackson screams and cusses at drunk sorority girls about how ridiculous having turtles tattooed on their lower backs really looks.
BWE: Ok, one more question: if they make a Snakes on a Plane sequel, and they very well might, will you get a tattoo of that? Or maybe just have "2: They're Back, and They're Hissed!" slapped on right under your current one?
Doz: I might get it tattooed on the other arm. I don't want to break up the collection!
BWE: True, one should never mess with perfection.
BWE: Did you not even consider a temporary tattoo?
BWE: The studio probably has them on the official website.
Doz: Nope, temporary wasn't even an option. If you're going to do something you should go all the way with it!
BWE: Samuel L. Jackson couldn't have said it (or screamed it, using lots of profanity) any better himself.
Doz: Gotcha!
BWE: Well Doz, I've gotta say – even though I'm not sure I would have chosen to enhance my body with a permanent Snakes on a Plane tattoo, I think you're one of irony's great heroes.
Doz: Thank you, sir!
BWE: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about your adventure?
Doz: I just want to thank the people over at Fazed for all their support – and my real life friends, too.
BWE: Awesome. Well, may your future plane travel be safe and may the snakes stay far from them muthaf*ckin' planes.
Doz: Thank you sir for your time! Snakes on a Muthaf*ckin' Plane!!!
Snakes on a Muthaf*ckin' Plane, indeed.
